Ditched all of the bulky gear. Much easier to find cozy spots to listen at home :p

The cayin ha-3a is such a nice little amp..

Tried many tubes but this combo is killer: Mullard 6v6g stcc wd arrow and Mullard 12au7 10m

Got my desktop/work at home setup back online, after just using a laptop for a while.
Switching between the DT770 Pro's, IEM's (in the brown bag) and speakers, depending on what I'm in the mood for 🙂

Warm and bombastic sound with noise isolation. Compact desktop setup

Flux Mentor arrived yesterday. Absolutely superb and impressively powerful solid state amp. Once I source some proper interconnects, I can try my WA22 as a preamp:

Pseudo tube hybrid sound from that then! Very cool. If I recall, some people said that the Mentor needs like 200 hours to break in. I would have one already if it only had pre outs.

IMO still WA22 is better.
Agreed that the WA22 is phenomenal, but for hard to drive, low-sensitivity planars (Abyss 1266, Tungsten, Susvara), the horsepower of the Flux gets the job done.

Note: 65” Panasonic plasma screen still going strong with Hans Zimmer's rock and symphonic orchestra Live in Prague: comparison of four headphones: Moondrop COSMO, VENUS and PARA, on the one hand, and Sennheiser HD-560S, on the other, with my main Hifi system: Viva 2A3 tube amp and French electronics (dac + drive) AUDIOMAT.

Panny plasma!!

My 2012 Panasonic Viera 50" (one of the last they made) is still going strong. No matter what settings I use, it has a smooth, perfectly saturated, kodachrome look...a lovely TV. Also still have the semi-legendary 42" 720p Pioneer 940D, another beautiful picture (the Pioneer occasionally shows up as a comparator in reviews of some modern flatscreens).

I love my big LG OLED (spectacular picture), but will be very sad when one or both of my plasmas go to flatscreen heaven....

Panasonic Viera TC-P65VT30 plasma checking in... It's been the center of my home theater system since 2011. Long may she reign!
(The speakers are Paradigm Reference Series v2 from 2001 - Studio 60 mains, Studio Center, and Servo-15 subwoofer - in the rosewood finish.)
