is that powerful enough?

Bet it’s not so easy getting everything to the UK.

It has plenty of headroom for the tungsten, 2w at 150 ohm, and it's transformer coupled so it can handle lower impedance headphones as well.

There have definitely been several people in the UK/Europe who have completed the build, I am sure you could ask them about their experience of acquiring parts!

Tell me about it. I might start on a ZMF binge if this Tungsten is any slower… based on current wait times, it’s looking like minimum 5 months wait time.

That’s funny. I’m selling my ZMF to fund my Tungsten purchase! Maybe we could enable one another, lol.

I hate this site.

Now looking over DIY tube kits inc the Bottlehead. Don’t know about the power of that one but they’d both be in addition to the 3X GT

Sigh.

The Tungsten + Aegis is a combo that I'm excited for more people to be able to experience with the ZMF Aegis coming out!

Try EL37 tubes. They are rare, so requires some work hunting down, but they make the Aegis sound sublime..

The EL37 are my favorite tubes with the Aegis, they are fantastic! Combined with the Tung-Sol 6SU7GTY they are just

Most OTCs have a similar power/voltage profile with higher wattage at higher impedance (the opposite of most ss amps) providing plenty of headroom for Tungstens.

This is one notable difference versus powering Susvaras as even a relatively cheap ~$1.3k tube amp like Cayin's HA-3A drives them very well.

Same here, for both (with GZ34 black base rectifier). Enjoy!

Mjolnir 3 review just got posted on WaveTheory
He's got Susvara and Tungsten for testing.

I getting a quad of used el37 for my amp. That will level tungsten up to another level.

Hope it's ok to post here, I wanted to mention it in this thread since the ModHouse Tungsten was the headphone I used to fine-tune the spatial enhancement feature due to the Tungsten's fantastic staging, layering and imaging performance.
If you have a chance to try this at CanJam and are bringing your Tungsten, do it!

I'm really excited about this!

Ooooh, tube mode and spatial enhancement?! I’m intrigued!!

I was set on Holo Spring KTE!!! Grrrrr still want it but this is so tempting

Mjolnir 3 review just got posted on WaveTheory

This one just reminded me, once again, why I'm almost never disappointed with a Wave Theory review. He seems to have this instinctive knack for zeroing in on specific questions I have about the gear he is reviewing. In this particular case, he just helped me to eliminate the Mjolnir 3 from my radar as an amp to consider buying, but without necessarily implying that it is a bad amp. He simply supplied useful information about where it shines (low impedance cans), and where it offers nothing to get excited about (High impedance cans, including two of my favorites, the Susvara and the Tungsten), and immediately helped me to extinguish any Audio Nervosa and/or FOMO regarding the MJ3 that might have crept into my consciousness with all the hype that amp has been enjoying recently on head-fi. He seems to know just what to say to cut the "hyperbole" and fat down to size without adding much (if any at all) of his own, and my wallet and I adore that approach. I can't wait to watch his review of the Tungsten, and what he might recommend as its most synergistic amps.

I also have a GZ34 black base, I think I read through the whole aegis thread for tube pairing and tried the ones that sounded interesting, so I am pretty sure I copied you. Definitely my fav combo!
