Hi there, have been recently lurking around the forum and after reading countless of threads, I'm still a rookie / undecided on what my next step should be!
I'm currently looking in adding a tube AMP to my setup, currently leaning for the Feliks Echo 2 or maybe a custom WBA.
I'm by no means an expert and I might be chasing a non existent unicorn, since I have no experience with tubes. I'm currently looking for more warmth and maybe more slam from my setup.
Current Setup;
Player PC > Topping E70 DAC > Schiit Jotunheim 2 / SMSL SP200.
Headphones - ZMF Auteur Classic and LCD 2C. (Future headphones that interest me, Meze 109s, ZMF Aeolus , Sony Z1R / Z7M2, Fostex th900mk2)
My budget for the amp is around 1000 Euro, but still open to more expensive products. As I have previously mentioned, I'm looking at the echo, but my limited experience is telling me that I won't see much difference from my current setup and I'm probably better off in getting other headphones.
My journey so far has been chasing the Focal sound signature from other headphones, since I cannot use Focal headphones as I find them too uncomfortable. The Auteur is almost perfect for me, but its missing that Focal slam. I know that I can EQ, but I prefer having stock hardware that pleases me as is.
Looking forward to read your recommendations !
Thanks!
