Yup 1000$ but they can do all kinds of wild stuff, like custom grills, and exotic leathers - your imagination is the limit but in my case it was the walletWas the custom color done by Abyss?

I'm thinking about upgrading my Topping A90 to a tube amp. What are some of the good tube amps that can bring out the most out of 1266 TC, is Woo Wa33 the recommended tube amp to drive it? I also have heard good things about the pathos tube headphone amp. Not sure which one is better.
I have a Fezz Audio Omega Lupi and it drives the TC’s amazingly well.

Do you guys have any stand recommendations? The Rooms one looks great, but I’d like to consider my options

I have it. It's perfect for the TCs
Where am I going to get the 1.21 gigawatts to power that kind of amp? I only have 100 amp service in my old house, future boy!
This is the stand I plan on getting. Can it accommodate slight toe in of the headband? I have mine adjusted forward a bit and would hate to have to readjust every time I take it off the stand.

Yes, it does, at least for the toe in I’m using. Never have to re adjust.
Hi there. Looking to pick up a DAC+AMP combo that would drive the TC well. Looking out for suggestions. I've been out of the scene for a while so I'm not too sure where to start looking!
Looking to keep costs down to a minimum as this is a temporary purchase until I have the funds and desk space for something nicer.
Also, I dont stream music via any web based service so those slightly fancier features aren't too important.

In terms of a combo unit, the best I have used are the Simaudio Moon 430HAD, and and Chord Hugo TT2. However, the TT2 in particular is too much in terms of cost, though you may be able to get an OK deal on a used 430HAD.
In terms of cheaper options, the new iFi iDSD Micro Signature is certainly one to consider. I own the Black Label micro iDSD, and I can only imagine the Signature is the same or better.

Agreed, but on a budget, its probably out of his range.
Just bought a Wells Audio Reference Milo which puts out 10 watts into 46 ohms. Needed ss because got too many tubes and I found a place to hide it from the wife but I’m screwed when my custom amp comes in February. If Milo pans out with TC might sell WA33. Only good thing about that is saving on expensive tubes. The custom amp is Ultra Sonic Studios Custom Citadel.
