Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

The really AWESOME thing about the tubes for this amp is that they're the same tubes used in the APPJ mini2013 amp (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/appj-mini2013-6j1-6p1). (The driver tubes are the same but the power tubes are different .... be careful of that)
I should mention that this amp sounds great with the K7XX headphones. (I switched out the tubes with the 5654RTC tubes and it sounds much better. Well, it sounds much better to me anyway.)
Guess it depends on what you want to use something for. This one's for headphones and the appj is for a setup using speakers. Haven't regretted buying either. (once i figured out the quirks of the appj that is)
Just remember to burn the tubes in! The sound stage on the Voshkods, when burned in, is quite good.
Are you using it with an analog source or are a DAC?
What is the burn in process? just leave it on? and how long does the burn in takes?
I currently have the Fiio E17K, but i'm planning to add Mayflower Objective2 and ODAC Rev. B DAC & Amplifier.
Look at head - fi for recommendations on how to do burn in. I had music playing through the amp, not just leaving it on. Burn in can take awhile!
I have the ODAC DAC and amp but am not using the amp. I like the sound out of the LD better.... And yeah, with the K7XX cans.
