Thanks; I've sent Craig an email this weekend, but haven't heard back yet (I assume the email link on the EC site is still valid?). If I'm reading this thread correctly, the current version of the 2A3 uses SS rectification rather than tubed? I suspect maybe the Eddie Current site just hasn't been updated. I'm fine with limited or no tuberolling options re the driver tube (and rectifier, if my assumption that the current version uses SS rectification is incorrect), as I have plenty of 2A3 tuberolling options to keep me busy.
For those of you with the 2A3 amp, do you have any hum or noise issues with high sensitivity headphones? I use ATH-W3000ANV's, which have high efficiency/sensitivity, and one thing I really like about the DNA Stratus is the hum pots which allow me to eliminate any trace of hum, even with these headphones....I don't see any hum pots on the pics I find of the EC 2A3 amp, so I'm very interested in getting feedback from current 2A3 owners.
I'm considering moving to the EC 2A3 as I'd like to also use my 2A3 amp to power my high efficiency loudspeakers from time to time, but I'm struggling to get a feel for the EC 2A3 in its current version, so any thoughts/input are most welcome!
Thanks,
Randy
p.s. if any current EC 2A3 owners are considering moving to a newer version or different amp such that they might consider letting their EC 2A3 amp go, please p.m. me. Especially if it is quiet with high sensitivity headphones
