Rollin' with killer amp...LCD-4

Amazing with blues, rock, metal, ambience, audiophile vocals !!! when you combine 300b amp (incidentally it's called Destiny) with LCD4.

Let the music flow anyway you can

Nice - almost like the Grado’s with all that wood

You have to work with what you have. An audiophile is always an audiophile.

It might sound better than Grado's.

(j/k!)

Have you tried other headphones like Verite, Utopia, Susvara with that amp?

I’ll have the luxury to go off topic with just one reply to this question.

He1000se performed so amazingly well driven by the 300b amp. So much so I think it sounded better with the amp than LCD4. Very close though. Both headphones just very different presentations.

I would expect similar result with Susvara and this 300b amp will have no problem driving Susvara with 8 watts.

Indeed , in fact running the numbers "Destiny" delivers a little over double the power needed to generate 110dB at 1Khz in the Susvara . So potentially you could make a Susvara desk top speaker .

After 9 years of enjoying my headphone system, decided to add some new gear this year. My Headphone setup is also connected to my personal/work from home computer which I recently built last Christmas. So space is at a premium.

New additions are:
Sennheiser HD660s
Questyle CMA400i
Balanced cable for the HD800

I really love Violectric's form factor. If I wasn't completely happy with my ***current*** system, I'd be looking for one.

Ha. Was thinking the exact same thing looking at that pic, then scrolled down to see your comment.

Wish my space allowed me to have a desktop setup. Unfortunately, I don't have a desk which can accommodate it. I'm using a laptop desk so I have to stick with a transportable setup.

Fortunately though, the options in transportable these days are really good. Looking for a replacement for my XDuoo Basic that I had to return, I've been overwhelmed with the number and quality of options under $1000.

If the desk won’t fit there’s always racks.

Modest bedside setup

 

[Chops]

And now with a pair of proper XLR interconnects... 1 foot pair of Worlds Best Cables "Amphenol" Canare cables.

Nightowl for bedside setup... Appropriate choice!

Beautiful, what is the tube amp on the top right shelf?

Beautiful, what is the tube amp on the top right shelf?

It's 2 of Elekit amps use in combination. A TU-8500 (tube preamp / phono stage mm/mc) and a TU-8200 (headphone / speaker amp - 4 watts in triode and 8 watts in ultralinear). Love this combination until a failed tube took out the amp. Still trying to get it fixed but I have better tube amps to play with now in the meantime.

This is the combo. It's using Brimar 12AU7 long plates and Telefunken EL12 spez with adapters.
