New dual-use bedroom system cobbled together - Yamaha CR-2020 receiver, EPI 100 speakers, Calyx M, and 600-Ohm Beyerdynamic Manufaktur DT880s. Guess I really should get some classic Yammie orthos for this

That's a very pretty vintage receiver!

Hah, very nice setup!

I got a pair of 880/600 locally, but I could not buy the manufaktur version because although we are in the next country to Beyer, they don't sell to us online. Another EU success story...

…or Sennheiser HD414 (what I had in college…)…

Great call We used these at my high school radio station back in the day. I wonder what I would think of them now?

With the HD414, I had to be really careful with the cable attachment ; I was replacing the earpads every few months (wear beer ‘n tear ?). At least more recently, I have read of Grado owners modifying the HD414 earpads for Grado use…

Just add Aune M2 Pro to my portative audio-family

This evening decided to turn on my strangest DIY amp. What is interesting in it - it has inverted triode stage. Inverted triode was used ages ago for measuring purposes, as it has very high input impedance and low output impedance. The gain is inverse of Mu too. Output stage is SE resistor loaded LU1014 power FET(s). It does not look finished, but I don't think I'll ever refine it. Good enough for me.
EDIT, added another bigger bad boy.

I don't think a New York City garage attendant could have parked them any better than that!!

'Default Stack' adjustment complete. Rolled the OPA2134's in there, and as expected everything has become super listenable. It's a bit of a shock to the system, honestly, after having the refined, crisp, classy power of the DacMagic 100 in there for so long. But it suits the tubes and headphones in the chain a little better.
