They do above average (the X2), you'd need/want a 5998 and above for it to shine. The 400i.. forget about it. So far..and I'd hate to publicly admit it....the Beyerdynamic is the cats meow with the Darkvoice. Sennheiser excellent for older recordings. This amp does best with high impedance cans for the low end to shine. The resistance pushes the power up, low impedance cans hardly have any resistance so less power is pushed.

Yup. That's pretty much the impression I've gotten. The 58x is the highest impedance can I have and even that seems to get pretty lackluster results with OTL from what I've read.
The other amp I've been eyeing is the Hagerman Tuba. It does have a dedicated low impedance output, but probably isn't going to be found for dirt cheap, and I know nothing about EL84 tubes or parafeed circuits.

I wanted the most out of the HD6XX, reason for the Darkvoice addition. Great pairing.

After a long 4 months, my Mullard 6080 arrived. What a good valve! I am impressed with the vocals. Eroded music has never sounded so good. It combined with RCA vt231 gray glass produces an extremely pleasant sound.

JKDJedi - I didn't have the courage to open and make mods on Darkvoice. I'll leave it the way it is.

Yes!! Finally!! I was wondering about that combo... Might have to try that later today. Good choice not opening her up... Having nothing but trouble with mine. It works when it wants too. Probably poor sodder technique from me... Happy the Mullard finally arrived! Four months....this Virus has messed everything up . Mail takes too long now.
Well, you have it now. ☺

@SHIMACM What DAC is that? Is the 2 or 3 (Mulitbit?) Oh...just read your sig...Modi Multibit!! Nice.

It's the MODI Multibit. Excellent CAD. I have a MODI 3 too. But Multibit is better. Well hey, I thought the tube wouldn't come anymore. When Ebay expired, the seller contacted me asking if I wanted a refund. I didn't think it was correct, because he would reimburse me and the tube would arrive sometime and the seller would be at a loss. But I took a risk, because today, when I went on ebay to qualify, I saw that the option for qualification simply disappeared, as well as the link for complaints, in case the tube came defective. Thankfully, the tube arrived in perfect condition and is playing wonderfully well.

Today my TS5998 arrived. . What a joy to see that it arrived in the original box. Although not tested, the valve is NOS and is working very well.

 

[SHIMACM]

Now this is my valve collection. In addition to GEC 6as7g, Bendix 6080 Wb and Melz 1578, which valves would you recommend for my collection? I prefer hot and lush valves, since my phone is the T1 G1.

So much out there, and we've talked a lot about them here on this thread. The sky's the limit.

I wanted a little help to define the hot and exuberant 6sn7 that you have already tested. . It makes my life easier. LOL.
