What a combo…what a 6SN7, the best of the US variety. Great minds think alike?…TSP (tube sensory perception)?…what’s cooking chez moi…

Yeah you know it!
I actually inherited those tubes when I purchased a modified Yaqin SD-CD3, a couple of years ago.

A bit of a digression: I have quite a few of the 1970s ECM items in vinyl and CD: Jan Garbarek, Art Lande, Keith Jarrett, Terje Rypdal, Enrico Rava….what music….what sound….three cheers for Tonstudio Bauer & Manfred Eicher….

Sony WH-1000XM3.

This is one of my two go-to's when in a noisy environment.

It is inherently too boomy and lacks treble so I equalise it using AutoEq (at 75%) to get the treble up to how I like it and another ‐1 dB @ 150 Hz and -1.3 dB @ 75 Hz.

Grado RS325x IFI Zen DAC 2 IFI Zen Can - James Taylor - Steamroller

We got some nice feedback about our ZEN range and Grados in general, so yours should be a sweet pairing I reckon

Stellia... they revealed an emerging noise issue in my system and then helped me solve it. Low impedance and good sound isolation at work.
Experimenting today, feeding them from a Naim Atom HE on balanced through a McIntosh C8.

Just now sitting at my main desk at home to do bills and paperwork…. I first listened to my CX headphones then to my Eikon, through A30 Pro out of D30 Pro, Tidal as the source…. CX very clean an transparent, but the Eikon just have such a nice, warm sound…. I really enjoy them both! Later on will try the CX and Elex that are on the desk here, and may mix it up with the MT-604 hybrid tube amp and SMSL M500 DAC….

The three most important (and fun) words: mix it up

I have to look into the Casey Abrams ‘oeuvre’; I bet that his vocals sound tremendous via Grado. [That would make sense since the maestro Joe Grado was an opera aficionado. I might have to ‘upgrado’ () my h/p collection…]
