Besides the gorgeous pair of VC, you have a really nice lawn!

Thank you. Lots of space to play with my kids

My VC Stabs arrived this morning! Unfortunately haven't had the time to listen to them yet but was able to grab a few pics before I had to leave the house!

Currently, gonna listen to them with a Topping D90/A90 stack but was looking into picking up either a Hagerman Tuba or a Feliks Echo Mk II. Anyone have any other recommendations for an entry level tube amp that would compliment the VC?

I finally understand why everyone says photos don't do these justice. They are absolutely beautiful in person.

Those are a stunning pair. Like all VC's tbh. As far as entry level tube amp goes, I currently have a Feliks echo mk1 and would highly recommend to any VC owner. Great synergy.

Nice pair! I suggest the Schiit Valhalla 2 as a good entry level tube amp for the VC.

Has anyone tried the Burson Conductor 3 with the Verite Closed? I just got one but am still waiting for my Verite Closed. I suspect it will sound pretty good. It's unusually smooth and holographic sounding for a solid state amp.

I second the recommendation of the Quicksilver Headphone Amp which is right at the top of your price range. That being said, if you get lucky enough to find an SW51+ for around $400, then don’t hesitate to grab one to pair with your VC. I highly recommend it as the king of bang-for-the-buck tube amps.

I have both of these, and I can honestly say the Quicksilver is worth the extra cash, especially if you also plan to invest in some quality vintage tubes. I’m not looking to upgrade from my current setup any time soon.

The VC is a great match with the Quicksilver amp. I hate to use the word 'endgame', but yes I think it's my endgame setup.

I'd love to hear the Quicksilver Amp and see how it compares to my Cayin HA1-A MK2 on VC. Both OTC using similar tubes and in a similar price range. Definetly looks like a nice amp. Btw. I replaced my 12AU7 with E181CC NOS Philips tubes (or E180CC/7062 with higher gain). They act as kind of a replacement close to 12AT7 so should also work in a 12AX7 scenario. Hard to come by but I know a contact. If you are interested hit me up. Not cheap but my Amperex bugle boys pale in comparison.

Your VC are called "Eye of Sauron", yes?

Do you have any recommendations on tubes or just the stock ones? Do you know if it works well with planars? This amp looks great!

I'm still using the stock tubes, but I think @ckhirnigs113 has tried lots of different tubes recently.

Regarding your question about planars, yes the Quicksilver can drive most of the planar headphones including the HE-6.

Friends, dont let your friends use stock tubes

Thats quite a statement. What is the MSRP?

You took the words right out my head, when I was looking at that picture with stock tubes.
