Tubes in Icon Audio HP8 MK-II are Mullard 6201 and pair RCA 6SN7GTB (narrow gap plate / bottom D-getter). I have never heard the HD6XX sound better 🙂.
Thank you Jonathan..Looks really good...I have heard a lot of people say how good the 6xx sound on tubes...A tube amp is going to be one of my next purchases and then we go down the tube rolling rabbit hole..lol

Here is a suggestion for a first (last?…not likely, this is Head-Fi 🤣) tube h/p/a (at your leisure): Xduoo TA-26 [$319]. This is an Output Transformer Less tube h/p/a with a higher output impedance that should be a sensational match for your high impedance (300 ohms) HD6XX!

I had one and it buzzed like crazy no matter where I tried it, picked up noise everywhere

I have a TA-30 in the bedroom and it works like a champ! Bluetooth from the phone (LDAC, no less), and great tube rolling capabilities! Not a single complaint from me.

Could have been tubes.

My WA22 buzzed for a while brand new. Once worn in it was dead quiet.

Could be, I returned it while I could have. As with everything in this hobby, ymmv.

morning coffee set up while I enjoy the view our first snow
Where do you live to be getting your first snow?
I am hoping that I still have several snowless weeks in front of me. :worried:
