Hey mate, the Tak 274B is the best rectifier including the WE's that I had heard, it looks like the lifespan is going to be at least 10,000 hours and I wouldn't be surprised if it were similar to the WE's at 30-50K what I am driving at its a good value proposition if you factor its lifespan in and SQ

Wish I could my hands on one.

I am thinking of buying some more sets of the Tak's for myself and I could then sell off singles to those that are interested

Let me know. I'll take a 274 if you do.

Here's my setup with the headphones. Aurender X100 Server, PS Audio DirectStream DAC & WA5-LE with TA-300B, GE 6SN7GT & TA-274B.

I believe it was you who was telling me to give the TTVJ Flat Pads some time after I only tried them briefly 3 times and didn't like them, correct?
Well if so, I've decided to give them another try tonight on your advise, and will continue to use them with the RS1i's for a while and see how I like them compared to the Grado (L) cushions.
If is wasn't you, well at least you know what I'm listening to tonight!

Great looking system and with top notch comments I bet it would sound excellent. Any plans for upgrades from here?

I would probably be interested. My current fave rectifier is the WE422a but if there is something better I'd be willing to try it.

Yes I quite understand the feeling. Your setup has a lot in common with mine. Source, Amplifier and some of the same headphones. WA5 has great synergy with my HD800.

May get the TS RPs. Know a good store I can buy them? But that is it for now.

In 2-3 years, may get a Lampizator Big 7 DAC.

This system sounds great with HE-1000 and Abyss. I like the PS Audio DirectStream DAC. Their latest firmware update was awesome. Bigger soundstage, better details and more weight to the sound. PS Audio has been diligently releasing one firmware update every year, tuning the sound for the better.

I haven't tried the HD800. I am waiting for an adapter to listen to it.

Well quite frankly I would be curious when you have the opportunity finally trying the HD800 and what your thoughts are.
 
Enjoy music!

TP RPs are hard to find and make sure they are the 1942 year tubes if you want the authenticated tubes! Sometimes on rare occasions you will find them on Audiogon. I use a set in my WA5 and they are best driver tubes.
