Beautiful tube amp.

Thank you. The synergy with the 800S is to be heard to be believed. I could keep going on and on about its virtues but beyond anything it makes these headphones fun, exciting and very emotionally involving.
With the speakers the room is a major bottleneck but at lower volumes when the wall reflections are not so much at play, magic ...

All Arie's fault I tell you! He showed me a pic of his set-up ... and it featured this nifty monitor stand that makes a great equipment rack.

Before ... leaning tower of Head-Fi ....

You won't believe the improvements this has made! Greater sense of clarity, detail and space, height specifically. The congestion ... all gone! More air around each piece. Not as warm as before.

And it sounds better ... like a clean car drives better ...

Just the default Samsung player on the phone. Audio is surprisingly decent, have no real complaints with it, especially for portable use. My Motorolla flip-phone finally stopped working after well over a decade + of service and my dad just upgraded his phone last week and gave me his old Galaxy Tracfone that was around $50 when brand new. Bought 128GB Samsung Elite microSD card and just uploaded all my FLAC library on it last night. Was thinking of getting another DAP, but think this will work more than well enough for me... free + cost of memory card and I have on the go portable audio again (killed my Shanling M0 from one drop too many a while back). That way I can put funds towards another STAX Lambda I'm in the process of getting and the Kaldas Research RR 1 Conquest...LOL

Thanks--that tube simulator thing got my attention and the overall simplicity/clarity of the look of the player. Kind of amazing that a default player will have cool DSP stuff like that!

Not to mention your Porta Pros w/Yaxi pads! Had the Porta Pros myself back in the day (80's) and used them until they literally fell apart. I always thought...why do I keep coming back to these things? Today I have a set of Sennheiser PX-100's (first gen) that I modded that I have the same feelings towards. You just put them on and forget them.

Here is my (almost) current set up. The Wells Audio Milo is gone, as it was a review loaner. The iFi Pro iCAN is also a review loaner, which is still with me. The speakers are Philharmonic Audio BMR Philharmonitors, and the Susvara and Diana Phi are mine. Also pictured is the Hifiman RE2000 Silver :)

I just saw your stereo photo on Reddit. Small world.
