These are the KT66s that I will buy over several months... from my same secret supplier.

And the EL34s..... I can't believe he kept it for me all this while...

He also has these GEC KT88s .... gonna make me broke lol. These are the most expensive of the lot. $2000 for the quad.

Finally these are what I have now for Telefunken EL11, EL12, EL12n , EL12 spez. @Dimu will hate me for hoarding them.

Going to be a fun Sunday afternoon comparing 4 amps - Elekit TU-8200, Wa22, LF339i and Schiit Mjolnir 2. @xtiva will be helping me in a blind test lol. Schiit Bifrost 2 as dac.

Been following this thread for awhile, I'm really so close to buying this kit.

I can assure you it's worth the time and money because to my ears it sound so good and this is after I have live with those other amps for a while.

...and I'm even closer. I have most of the tubes already. Curious how my Beyer Dt880 600ohms would sound with it. Or will I go deeper down the rabbit hole and break the bank on a pair of ZMF's.

Should be good, have heard good experiences with the WA-22

Not going to lie. Between LF339i, Wa22 and TU-8200, the contest is very close. As I listen on Chris Lea 'Looking for the summer' with He1000se and these 3 amps, I can't help but feel I really enjoy the He1000se with these 3 amps.

I had Beyer T1.2 and ZMF Verite Open both just sold off. They will be great with TU-8200.

Sounds like this amp is really not all that picky with its phones.

I also have a pair of HE-560 that I think sound great. But the He-1000's might need an audition.

I've here with me He1000se, LCD-3f, LCD-X and HD650. Unfortunately HD800 is not present. All sound great and HD650 is like a different animal.

My son has the HE-560 and Arya which he use on his Topping D90 / A90. I can tell you amplification wise, I much prefer these tube amps. And I have not even consider the very capable Violectric v280 which I have here. Have not even power on Mjolnir 2.
