the abyss is a lot less of a problem to amp than the susvara....the formula s/powerman is tough to beat for a SS solution and I am told the wa33 is terrific for a tube solution...otherwise they re several amps that can do the job

Cool, but what about something cheaper?

Can you maybe share it publicly?

Basically just using these instead of O rings. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JVF89H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thread one end through the headband and back through the slider, attach to the frame, tighten up the slack and trim off the ends.

Already done. Thank you.

I've tried the sub with headphones, it's nice once you get the balance dialed in perfectly. But, not very feasible if you are using headphones because you can't use speakers due to living with others.

Speaking recently about headphones + sub, Burson just came out with a new Soloist capable of that set up:

They doubled the power from the Soloist 3XP also. My wallet is confused now with the new options available.

This amp looks amazing!

If that is what you can afford, go for it, enjoy it. If you are just being cheap, it will cost you more in the long run as you will not resist upgrading.

I learned the hard way. Do not buy crazy cheap keep cheap at a $1000 and get a taste. But if you can please buy the expensive stuff because you will hear the difference and of course you’re still May be a person who will wonder if they could have bought that other expensive amp because it maybe better but don’t. If 1266 is your main amp easy amp would be WA33 and Dragon lvl 3. Those are safe bets that WA33 is popular choice. The Wells Dragon is becoming realized by many that it’s awesome for the $5,500(lvl3).
for me I had to go with WA5 LE after experiencing WA33 and that was my favorite until I stuck other headphones on it. WA5 LE lets me roll many different brands of tubes where the 33 is limited on 2A3 and very limited on drivers. I could easily just stick to solid state but no tube rolling fun that would just stock.

I had the WA5LE and loved it. But there were times I missed the speed and punch of SS. The WA33 hit the middle ground for me. Tube goodness with speed and punch. Sold my WA5LE and GSX mk2. But I could see someone preferring the WA5LE, those 300b tubes are special.

Abyss may have some serious competition…

Indeed.

What a nice guy. Btw, I was thinking of getting a new amp. Can you spare $15k?

I don't think so. Less bass than the LCD-4 and "borderline bright." I'm still interested in the 5, but I don't think it's going to be able to compete with the TCs
