These days just rockin a Diablo Utopia for nearfield and Susvara with ZMF pads for gaming/general use (comfort is key) . Also gotta clean up the cables soon lmao
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
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 🙂.
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!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

I like your style!Having some cheap bourbon and sitting on the floor pressing buttons.

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.I had one and it buzzed like crazy no matter where I tried it, picked up noise everywhere
Could have been tubes.I had one and it buzzed like crazy no matter where I tried it, picked up noise everywhere
Could be, I returned it while I could have. As with everything in this hobby, ymmv.Could have been tubes.
My WA22 buzzed for a while brand new. Once worn in it was dead quiet.
With a setup such as that, how do you know which season it is…🤣?One spring day in mid October.
