X3

but I've to qualify it - with Glenn's OTL amp of course. :)

Let me also add - this is with my GEL3N (aka Miss Scarlett) and Woo WA2 amps.

The lower impedance phone should have been louder if the efficiency is the same.

Burning in a OTL using Svetlana 6H13 driven by a 1633. These cheep output tubes sound good
And lower noise then any of the 6AS7s I have. Have to get more of these they can't be beat for the price.

My Sony Z1R likes the super quiet of the Svetlana 6H13. Sounds great with a quad of these, haven't tried just a pair yet.

To the Minnesota Vikings fans (I'm one vs. the Eagles) at the end of the 3rd it doesn't look good! Best of luck for a comeback and Cinderella story in the Super Bowl; now back to my GEL3N and Japanese remastered Joni Mitchell HDCDs... awesome vocals and mid-range! :astonished:

At some point I am going to get an LCD headphone...not sure what one yet. I can understand someone picking a planar headphone over a dynamic one, just because of the way the planar cans do bass.
It is just a different sounding bass than all of the dynamic cans that I have heard.
It is addicting for sure. The ZMF Ori bass is the best bass of all of my headphones to my ears, from top to bottom. I am thinking an open planar is something that I would much enjoy.
Sure you will like the Susvara.

I had a short session with Susvara and Woo Audio Wa33 at a HiFi show. It's the deepest and lowest bass I've ever heard. It's quite a moving experience.

Back to more realistic setup, I'm giving the LCD-2f more time with Glenn's OTL. I haven't spend enough time with this headphone and I'm starting to love it more now. Listening to Beck - Morning Phase. Very enjoyable.

Thanks to Glenn indeed. The OTL amp is an important item in my setup and is responsible for the superb resolution. Sylvania 6sn7w metal base and 6 x 6BX7gt are staying put now. Great sounding tubes and they happen to be my quietest tubes too.

Listening to George Benson: Verve Ultimate Cool, I wonder in amazement what is contributing to the astonishing clarity, outstanding resolution and musicality. Is it Yggdrasil, is it LCD-2f, is it GOTL, is it the tube combination, it's it my Forza Claire Hybrid headphone cable? I think it is the combination of everything. Synergy !

Just got a copy of the Audio Advisor catalog in the mail. The cover page features the new Woo WA33 amp priced at a mere $8,000.00.
This amp has 9 tubes and a dual (connected) chassis.

The WA33 pictured is the Elite Edition $15K + RCA 2A3 $2400 + ... = $$$$ My gosh, you'd need to be a 300B amp owner in order to afford that thing! :money_mouth:
