Yeah, why indeed!!!! I moved from Pioneer (my first real stereo) to Yamaha, and finally just last year landed on Sansui. I have two integrated amps currently in service; an AU-5900 and an AU-7900. Both will follow me to the grave (or the incinerator, as the case may be).

I’ve heard and subscribe to the principle of burn in, but that level of commitment is ridiculous

This is literally my current set first as I bunk in in-laws place while I recover after surgery.

Can't wait to get back to my own place..

Not bad for secondary set up.
Wishing you a speedy recovery

There are a couple of head-fiers who swears by behemoth vintage amps driving He6se. These need to be heard to believe. Where are my vintage friends. @kid vic, @Oregonian, @Monsterzero, @SpeakerBox, @petemac110. There you go.

Don't have HE6SE, but do drive my HD-600 from the speaker taps on my 70s vintage HK330A receiver. That has really made them come alive. Was almost ready to ditch the HD600, but will keep them now.

Not that. This Picasso.

Nice. How's the Tuba treating you? I'm soo tempted to get one myself except when I emailed Hagerman about using it with planars, he said no, not really
Still tempted, however

I love the Tuba and will never not own it. It's totally straight sound signature...silent noise floor. I primarily use the Tungsram Ei Yugos (in photo) as they lean warmer / thicker and compliment the Tuba's neutral profile. I usually roll (slightly brighter/forward tubes) when using ZMF Aeolus.

Focal Clear, Grados, Senn HD600/XX and Aeolus... sound fantastic. Agree with Jim, not sure how planars would fair.

Given the overall performance, price-point and 10 year warranty -- it's quite a great AMP. Just a well-made (no BS) piece of gear.

Drop me a PM downstream if you pick one up -- I've paired multiple DACs over the years -- happy to share a few thoughts on synergy.

You saved the day on that one

Knocked out the ground-loop issue (with WA6). Great call and huge thanks!!

You should also experience < noise floor, > dynamic range, > instrument/voice separation, and > natural note decay especially via MHDT Orchid…

I've made my living for years as a writer. Because of that I've held onto the older format 4 x 3 aspect ratio LCD monitors. The 19" version in particular allows me to size a page in MS WORD that's almost identical in dimension to the physical/printed page. So what I'm seeing on the screen is what readers will see...and when I pick fonts, text spacing, and place graphics among blocks of text, I'm seeing the final result in real time.

All to say I wouldn't know what to do with a monitor like yours. Having a thing like that on my desk would absolutely confound me...

(but it sure is pretty!)

You do realize one can make multiple windows of any size on a monitor? A 7 page spread? Sure.

I'm considering mounting an inexpensive 60" 4K monitor to my back wall, and use my 2 ISP 27" high color calibrated monitors on articulating risers as outriggers.
