For those with a tube AMP (would be preferable if you had a Schiit tube AMP) what tubes are you using with the HD 700
Mullards, Brimars, Siemens CCa, Telefunken E188CC, Heerlen Pinched Waists etc.
Siemens CCa (my favorite) and the Pinched Waist as an excellent change up. If I use CCa in my amp, I run warmer tubes in my dac. If your dac is on the bright side German tubes may be too bright for the HD700.
I'm using a Woo Audio WA7 (1st generation) to power my HD 700's with the upgraded Electro-Harmonix gold-plated tubes and the solid-state power supply. One of these days I'll need to get the tube power supply as well as get my amp retrofitted to the newer version. That said, it's a very good combination to my ears.
I got the Modi Multibit as my DAC, so I guess it is more neutral. Bit out of my budget, thanks for the mention anyway
Out of all of those, which is your go to tube for the AMP and HD 700
What is your budget?
Around £40-£60, someone has recommended the 6N3P-E to me. So I will take a look at those, just wondering for other suggestions
