I thought the elrog'd tu8600S brought elekit up to pass/arc stack level. I was wrong. Unfortunately the sonic difference between elekit with elrogs and the pass + arc stack is bigger than the difference between he9 and the elekit.
Soundstage becomes comically big with unbelievable air between instruments. Incredible layering more transparency. Large increase in microdynamics. Microdetail elevated. Pass/arc truly intoxicating sound. 2 main problems as I said before: 1. noise (not as bad on hd650 but annoying with hd800S). 2. the stack gets too hot.. very hard to use in summer (winter is fine).
I don't know if ill find a head amp that can do what the stack does while being very low noise and not having as much head production.
