I was actually on the fence of hd800s, zmfs or arya or a prefazor lcd2s. But i think i want to try something warm and fun this time. Ive been trying all close to neutrals, yet never tasted some high end warmer iem/heaphones. The warmest I've gone is my old vsonic gr07 and some vmodas. The warmest i currently have is probably the andromedas. Im scared i would find the hd800s too thin. i think ill go with aeolus, as I'm used to alot of treble and the atticus may be too laidback in the treble.

Mind giving me some tips of the specs, like cable and pads. I'm thinking of the atticus or aelous. Looking for a more pushed back presentation and not as much in your face like the clear. From my research the eikon and the auteur are more neutral in tuning, which i already have the anole vx and clears for.

Try a Stellia or take your amp to audition whatever headphone you are looking at.

Stellia is way out of my price range. Not sure where we can audition gear around SoCal. would be nice tho.

If warm and fun is your criteria, then Atticus is your best bet.

HD800s smooth out with tubes that kick of warmth , if anything just use Xbass it thickens it bass / lower mids wise , already has spectacular mids / treble

Aeolus or the Attitcus is on the top of my "sell everything, quit audio, and get one headphone" kind of list. I'll get there eventually!

Just rolled the tubes on both ican and idsd! I would highly recommend rolling the tubes.

Very nice setup Congrats.

Could you write a small comparison with TT2 & M-Scaler?

Which tubes do you recommend for iCan?

Stellia is amazing on ican balanced from node 2i, I can't wait to roll some tubes.
The xbass on lowest setting and 3d off is the sweet spot for me on Stellia.
Radiance also sounds great on ican but with 3d on reg speaker placement adds a little more spaciousness.
Hopefully rolling some tubes will give more of a change in sig when going to tube or tube +, my favorite for Stellia.
Just have to decide which tubes will be best.
Any recommendations, nothing mid forward or treblely, classic rock, some jazz, new age and some EDM.

I think ill wait for some good LTDs for the aeolus or atticus. Really love the look of the zebra wood atticus.

Hi,
actually, i use a pair of these ones: https://www.tubeampdoctor.com/2c51-...mc/united-branded-made-by-tungsol-usa-nos/nib
I'm very impressed how good they sound in my iCAN, in my opinion better like the Bendix, i used before.
They bring really warmth Tube sound in the iCAN

 

[vonBaron]

Strange because Bendix and WE396A are best tubes for ICAN

Admittedly I have little experience with tube, I took recommendation from this thread and this is what I have in both the pro idsd and ican.
