Thanks Man, but I must say you have been a guy I have taken inspiration from here in head fi. I have seen you carefully build your system around Aeolus with LP/ Crack and Gungnir A1 and tubes and how you stick with your system and try to get best out of it before jumping the wagon.
DSHA-3F is really a good looking and sounding amp. Mine is Padauk wood. You should see the one @tommytakis has got with all exotic wood work.

Thanks for the kind words! I really have been carefully building my system with my limited funds, and I am quite happy with it. Putting together a system, that sounds good to your ears, is what this hobby is all about.

The right-hand side of my desk at my office.

The Lyr has the internal phono card, making the turntable’s age-matched Sony receiver largely unnecessary and absurd at this point. I do have it spewing into a 4-way splitter for shared listening with my coworkers, and it has a very ‘90s, graphical, digital EQ worth the entertainment value alone.

Yes, I get strange looks.

Killer portable setup! Those tubes look awesome, and I bet they turn some heads.

A couple of questions.

1. Are these 2 separate tube amps? Or is this 1 amp with a separate power supply?

2. What make and models are these amp(s).

3. What tubes are you running.

I also noticed the herbies tube dampers. How do you like them.

Final comment. A stunning rig you've assembled. Really classy. I bet this rig sounds sublime. Enjoy and that's for sharing.

Have you done the new firmware update on the Terminator? It seems there’s more going on than some bug fixes. It’s sounding better than ever.

thanks for your nice comments. Indeed those Amps associated to good Headphones (stax SR009s and also HE500) sound fantastic.
There are 2 separate amps : Eddie Curent ED445 for standard headphones and BHSE for Stax. The BHSE use EL34 and the ED445 uses...445 tubes

no, I have not done yet the firmware upgrade because I only have Mac computer and a Windows computer is needed to do the upgrade.

Are these reissue EL34 tubes...?

I have just started using EL34 tubes and they sound spectacular.

After using the Mullard EL34 shipped with the BHSE, I bought some PSAVANE replica, and sound improved... a little. Now I have on order a matched quad of NOS Mullard xf2 EL34. I hope to receive them soon.

The tubes on the picture are indeed the PSAVANE replica.

WOW! Now that is a setup. That ECP DSHA3F, is one of the best looking amps out there!

That amp looks a lot like an old receiver I used to have:
