For the first time, Ultimate's status as the top dog is threatened. One of my amps will have to go to be replaced by this KT170 Silke amp. Probably not Ultimate. I've not been using Susvara as much in the last few months because HD800 just sound so much better with Ultimate. So much more clarity and soundstage.
However now Susvara with this KT170 amp has all the clarity in the world, awesome bass and wide soundstage. I found my love with Susvara again. This headphone when properly amped is scary.
Eric said that this KT170 amp could be made using 2 x 6S3P or 6S45P as drivers instead of 6EM7. That means the ability to use 2 x 6J5. It will be less powerful but still plenty. However given how well 6EM7 as drivers drives Susvara, 6EM7 is the way to go and I've yet to test it with speakers. Will wait for sunrise before I do that.
