The 5751 category, at 70x gain, is an excellent tube for the QSA. A ‘holy grail’ of this category is the Raytheon 5751 ‘windmill’ getter. [This is fantastic in Icon Audio HP8.]

Recently upgraded to a Dangerous Convert-2 Dac.
Truly blown away by the performance with this Amp and Dac combo. Thought I'd also add in a picture of my shelf:

Ordered one of these a few days ago as a present to myself. Arrives before Christmas. I spent time clearing out non-essential gear to make room. This is my first “real” tube amp (Vali 2 being a hybrid), so I’m looking forward to the experience.
Chain will be Gungnir MB > Khozmo PreAmp > Quicksilver > a variety of HP, including OG HD650, K601, DT880. May try Elex, AH-D2000, and some others.

The QSHA arrived and is safely set up on my second rack. Oddly, it shares a shelf with a Parks Puffin - strange bedfellows, indeed.
I’m enjoying the music and am not doing any critical listening or analysis. Importantly, I don’t find anything wrong with how it sounds or functions (thank goodness). All I can say is this: with the OG HD650, it provides a pleasant, non-fatiguing experience with more than enough dynamics, detail, resolution, etc. to keep my toes tapping and to keep my mind on the music and off of analysis.
