Thank you im going to try a y subwoffer cable first instead of rca to rca. You think that might help? The ayima has already a sub frequencie tone control

Good ideal on trying the splitter if amp already has sub out it should work fine. Sorry I forgot your using an amp along side the tube amp.
Just to be clear your running source into the Xduoo ta20 then using the rca output on the ta20 to send signal to a the ayima amp that’s powering the butt shakers. The ayima has a subwoofer output that allows to cut out high frequencies and you just want to run the signal into the butt shakers ?
Has me wondering if you used 1/4 to rca if it allow use of volume on the TA20 to control the volume and save having to use 2 volume controls. Not sure it this would work but it would allow an easier way to control volume.

I was wondering the same before but. But the 1/4 inch is probably gonna have a different impedance then the rca outs. The problem going from the rca out on ta20 into the rca in on the ayima is way to sensitive. Also i still want to be able to power my aryas from xlr to full potential

Pяivet guys!
So im add HD 650 to my cans family and what can i said:
HD 650 sounds more agressive but with little warm with more power in bass and treble
and
HD 600 sounds calm and very waaarm in comparison with HD 650 (with TA 26 its nice for industrial, noice and ect similar bad recorded genres)

On the HD650 you might have to tube roll to find one the works better with the HD650. Being there a popular headphone hopefully someone can chime in on tubes they liked with the TA26. Below is a link to tube rolling for the TA26.https://audiofool.reviews/tube-rolling-the-xduoo-ta-26/
Great thanks for advice - i like moooore warm tube))....but this two "guys"(Hd 650 and 600) are best and universal TA-26 pairing(i compare with those cans that i have such as Takstar HF 580 and DT 770 pro 250 Ohm)Love the wall treatment

XDuoo TA-26 is getting most use on my rig as it has transformed all my HPs to amazing sounding ones. (I have built my system around high impedance Senns and ATs.)
The biggest change in sound comes from changing the driver tubes. Having tried all my 6SN7 tubes (Raytheon, Ken Rad, Sylvania, RCA, NU VT231s and many others) I have found that the Tungsol 6SN7GT black glass round plates (BGRP), completely transforms this amp to a much higher performing one than the one with stock tubes. The R70x and HD600 are probably at the peak of what they can sound with the BGRP and Tungsol 6080. I think I have to get rid of my SS desktop amp after this as it's getting hardly any ear time, such has been the performance gain since shifting to the TA-26 for my specific cans.
Yes that BGRP probably costs as much as the TA-26 or even more, but I would say that this is a must try tube on the TA-26. It has a similar performance improvement on my Euforia as well. Definitely a highly recommended 6SN7, if you can find one and no wonder they are all mostly gone and come up on sale at ridiculous prices every now and then. These tubes also come up as rebrands that cost significantly less so am attaching a photo that gives the top structure of the 2 types of BGRP that exist so that you know what you are actually getting.

Hi everyone, I want to get your opinon, still new to tubes and now would like to start tube rolling.
For those who use/of have used tube socket savers - need to clarify, get your opinion regarding them.
From my understanding, these 2 does the trick:
But this guy also caught my attention and it looks like it's the socket that gets soldered to the PCB but also looks like a low profile socket saver:
I have 2 questions:
1. Which of these do you find best to use?
2. Can the 3rd photo (the bottom one) - also act as a socket saver? Or is this only used on PCBs?
EDIT:
After much reading/viewing - I think I answered my own question and went with these instead:

Are there better tubes for the MT-604 than the default ones, I am new into the tube world, only have experience with the little bear b4x.
I've been enjoying these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089GQK6GD/
A bit less harsh and more full than stock. They didn't have matched quads on Amazon, so I just bought 2 pairs, and then put 1 from each pair in each channel in the amp (basically every other left to right) to avoid any channel imbalance.

Was hoping to get some help here regarding a strange issue on my TA-30.
One of the orange LED’s beneath the left pre-amp tube turns off shortly after powering on. If the tubes are removed the LED remains on. Switching tubes around does not move the issue- it always turns off on the left side. Sound is fine. Has anyone experienced such an issue?

These are probably equivalent to the Fosi:

I've been really enjoying the sound.

Reinforcements have arrived!
Will give it a good burn in and give impressions later on.

You bought 2 pairs (4 tubes) but you used only 2 tubes, for each channel?
