The Stratus will take a WE422a without any modifications and sounds great. There is a lot of historical discussion in the thread about 2A3 preferences.
Talked with Alex and ordered a Wywires Platinum power cord for the Stratus. There is a 40% off sale at Wywires that will end soon.
So to get my ducks in a row. I have seen here that the EML rectifier tube is a nice upgrade. What about their 2A3 power tubes? Sophia has that Aqua rectifier. What about the 300 2.5 power tubes. Any other stand out new available tubes? I have NOS power and rectifier as well as others.
First full day with my Stratus. Listened to several CDs of different genres of music and with Senn 800 S and 600, and Ether C and Ether Flow. The Ether Flow sounds better on the Ragg, but the plain old Ether C sounds a bit sweeter on the Stratus. I have always thought it was sort of a closed HD 800 sounding headphone. A very nice member of this forum sent me a PM and sold me two special 6n1ps. Anybody here tried the new Senn 820 with their Stratus?
What are the best headphones to pair with the Stratus? We all know that the HD 600, 800 and 800S sound great on the Stratus. Are there any other headphones that shine when driven by the Stratus?? HD 660 ?, Beyerdynamic? ???????????
