So I'm returning my WA33 but don't really want to sell my 1266 because of that. Any recommendations for an amp with great synergy with the TC? I'll keep my Enleum but I don't feel that's a perfect match.

I think describing what you like and don't like about the WA33 with the TC would be useful (aside from the hum issue you posted about previously, I guess).

If you're looking for a meatier sound with a filled-in midrange, I think the Cayin HA-300 is worth considering. Especially if you don't care for the TC on the Enleum a whole lot, or on solid state i general (I never cared for the TC on the Bakoon 13R, myself).

The HA-300 is my favorite amp for the TC, at least given my limited experiences with different amps with the TC.

A blind man could have seen that coming.

Hahaha. When I was researching that amp prior to buying it, I did a search for "Powerman" and literally 80% of the matches were by @jlbrach . He is a big fan

So your saying he’s a shill?

 

[jlbrach]

I am no shill I have several amps and have owned several others and the formula s combo is the best I have heard with the TC if you seek solid state...

Guys, did you even watch Abyss’s YouTube channel? dCS Lina would be the go to now for 1266 TC as a solid state option. Formula power man is outdated. Boys at Abyss love it.

1266TC with Super Conductor and dCS Lina stacks, I guess I would need to sell my car and my house for that die hard combo.

Dude, you don't know what an ad is?

I would love to have the Lina stack, but not sold that it is the best. The Dac is being reviewed as around the Bartok level by users. Let’s see how it is viewed as more users get them. An interesting point is Abyss never mentioned the Woo Audio WA33 when discussing the Lina amp. In its base form it was terrific with the 1266, and it would cost less. Time will tell.

Any friend tried the TC with Benchmark products ?
Benchmark Dac3 + HPA4

Does TC works well in such combination ?

Tube and Solid State lives in a different dimention. They are parallels univerise. So I dont think the Lina Amp would replace the WA 33. Unless a WA44 comes out.

I’m not saying the Lina stack is great or not great, but I have to tried many headphones, amps, DAC’s, and you’re still limited by one major thing: headphones. I don’t care how good the headphones are. speakers or another story.

The law of diminishing returns set in way before you hit that $30K.
