I made my headphone stand out of plumbing parts

Great with both the HD650s and D5000s. |

I still think it must be broken, but the dealer says it is like that. So my question is will the wa 6se hum or his with low impedance phones. It sounds like the tonality will answer my quest for musical warm sound with no fatique, but a complete black background is a must before I pay this kind of money! Thanks for any adwise! |

I am trying to decide between the woo wa6se and the rudistor rpx-33 leaning mostly towards the woo. Bit worried though that the princess might light up the room to much. I listen in the bedroom while my whife and daughter sleeps and don't want to disturbe them too much. |

My only prior experience with tubes is the trafomatic and it's tubes are small, but what about the princess? Would you say it lights up more ore less than a candle? |
