• The Audiolab and the Mystique are the base of the audio pyramid. The amps are nearby for ‘rolling’ … whatever amp is on left: XLR-connected, whatever amp is on right: SE-connected.
• ASSuming that you put on underwear one leg at a time (unless you jump into them ), I also change amps one at a time … .
Clearly a tough choice in real life for sub 250€ target => pure woddy DD vs tiny compact hybrid.
My conclusion is that these two huge brands really knows how to produce amazing sound quality.
The BA3 came out of its cave to get rolled. Gold-pin Sylvania 6922's (exports, branded Chelmer). They've warmed up and had music running through em for about 2 hours now. Impression: Finally, a TUBE.
It's still got what I take to be the ECC88 family clearness; hard to call it euphonic, at least so far. But it's got dat bass, I'm only losing about 5% low end from solid state, which is fine, barely anything. And the k240 DF's need it. I'd call it a more organic solid state, nice and punchy, with enough tubey-edges and body to vocals and whatnot. A little bit soft, just a little. I like it. Gonna try two or three more tubes I've scouted out, but really, if I'm trading off too much of the bass from these Sylvania's... I may roll em back in when all is said and done.
Been a minute since I’ve been around so here’s my bedside setup as of an hour ago:
ZMF Atrium and Audeze LCD-X hanging on the Salire. FiiO M11S DAP with some Thieaudio Monarch OGs, a set of 7Hz Timeless, and some ultra cheap RY4S earbuds. Amp is a Burson Conductor 3XP.
