Ya baby!
Nice! Also like the violectric stack you have there. My hd800 and HD 580 both sound very good on them. What are your impressions of the hd800 on the v200+v800?

Chart of my new HD800 I bought a couple of weeks ago in London at Harrods. Auditioned it paired up with the HDVD800. They also had some high end stax headphones, but my love for the hd800 is much stronger

Truthfully I haven't spend a ton of time listening to the V200. I think technically it's excellent and I really enjoy the sound signature. I do find the staging a bit weird, but that may be because I've been so entrenched in the OTL sound for so long.

I love the OTL sound.
In fact, long term, im looking at Allnic hpa-5000 as possible tube endgame

Got my graph as a PDF in an email today.
It definitely has the 6KHz to 7KHz peak. The Anax mod tames it really well.

SEX is the only word I can think of..
I've never owned a better amp, and I've never seen a better looking one (and I own a WA5LE).
Ya baby!
Beautiful, Pudu! How long have you owned it? Favorite tube?

Cheers man.
About three months, but was travelling for half of that. My favourite tube is the one it came with - because when I take it out the amp stops working ... I haven't switch from the stock tube yet (I know, I know h34r - I just haven't gotten around to sourcing a few tubes to try - I hate that part.
Sophia Electric right?

That was my favorite-but I only tried a few. I'm sure there are better out there. And yeah-you haven't REALLY heard what the ZDSE can do with that stock tube-sorry.
