Great, which tubes are you using on your BHSE?

I'm still using the stock tubes, waiting to make a decision.
Possible solutions?
Pswane EL34 Philips Holland Replica
Sophia Electric EL34
Mesa Boogie El34 STR447
And you? Are you using Shuguang 6ca7?
Result?

My updated mess of a Head-Fi station. A big thank you to @Watagump, Jim, and Fume from Noble the Khan was a great choice. Great ear gear and even better people. See you at axpona next year.

I was not a huge believer in digital filters and upsampling until I got them Mscaler and Hugo 2 ( I couldn't wait anymore for the TT2 and am actually quite pleased with the current combo). Surprisingly it does sound slightly better when fed from my sp1000 than from my mac. It is probably just placebo but oh well I think it sounds better.

Yes, I use the 6CA7. I tried the STR 447 and prefer the Shuguang.

I actualy compare the 009 and 009S, and for the moment I prefer the S.

Yeah after the LCD 4z I couldn't stand the old headband. The cf is much more comfortable.

How do you like to ML + Susvara compared to Viva?

 

[popof94]

Hi, the Viva is absolutely not able to drive the Susvara or the HE6SE. I thought a long time it was the best for all headphone because of the Pierre Paya movies on YouTube. Pierre Paya from casque Headphone in France, our bigger and wonderful shop for high end headphones listen the Susvara on a viva 845 and said it was the best to drive the Susvara:

I think it is impossible to drive susvara or HE6 with this amplifier. It has not enough power for me.
The result is a lot of more better with the small ML amplifier and the Hifiman loudspeaker adapter.
More dynamic, more detailled and more clear and pleasant to listen and incredible sub bass. Never listened such a sub bass on an headphone.
However, as I listen 80% of classic I prefer the Stax 009 or 009S or the Utopia. The Viva is great with the Audeze LCD4 but I realy think this amplifier is a lot of overpriced and it is probably possible to find the same for 1/2 the price. I want to try the formula S.

You've got yourself an outstanding collection. Thanks for posting the store video. I love seeing other shops. That store is beautiful. Is it in Paris?

 

[popof94]

Hi, unfortunately not, it in in Nîmes, south of France:

 

[RobertSM]

My rig in it's current state. Note the removal of SPL Phonitor X(to be used in a secondary system in the future). And the addition of Violectric V281.

 

[simorag]

Swapping cables in a pleasing Easter evening. Being an audiophile is hard work, but somebody has to do it, right?

P.S.: latest addition to my rig: a nice Acrolink 7N-2090 Speciale RCA interconnect. Good cables are 'just' the icing on the cake, yet they can make a difference (unfortunately for our wallets)

 

[betula]

New amp. I love this clarity and spaciousness they put together with the Qutest. Bass has never sounded better.
