Mayflower ARC Mk2 + Sennheiser HD 6XX
I currently have the Mayflower ARC Mk2, would this be able to run the Sennheiser HD 6XX to its full potential and is it a good pair? What mic would also be suitable for this setup?

Bose QuietComfort® 35 II
Hi,
Can anyone please recommend what is "the best" replacement ear pads for the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II?
Velour is preferred although I know that makes the headphones lose some of the ANC.
Thanks in advance :)

Purchasing cables for the SHP9500
EDIT: The headphones allow for detaching the cable, so a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male is the type of cable I would need
Hi there,
a week ago I received my Philip's SHP9500 headphones and so far I love them, except for the extremely long and quite frankly, sub-par cable. By sub-par I mean that it feels cheap and it tangles easily and I'm just counting the days until it gets stuck in the wheels of my chair.
So I have but one question, Where do you usually buy your cables?
I'm looking for suggestions, preferably not Amazon and if possible, nothing DIY as I don't own any soldering equipment to make my own cables.
Thanks in advance

Customer Support delays
Following delivery of my Koss ESP/95x I raised a support request on 21st July (MD-95304-4716600). I've not received any response (other than a note that the case had been passed to a specialized team). When will Drop progress this?

Intro to tubes :)
Hello! I’m In the market for my first tube amp to match with my 6xx’s. I’ve been looking at the Little bear mk. 2 and the Darkvoice, but have zero experience with tube amps besides my guitar amps. From what I’ve been told, tubing these headphones really brings them to life! If anyone could help me decide, I’d appreciate it!
Aug 1, 2020
This dynamic headphone is powered by a completely analog, built-in amp which also offers a passive mode. The drivers are 50cm with a 42ohm impendance. Powered, the built-in amp delivers about 240mW. I considered the Ella, planar magnetic, but couldn’t justify the price considering Hifiman and Audeze put out great cans at the price point of $699 MSRP. These Saidies are about $399MSRP. I bought them on auction for $280. I watched Zeos’ review on YouTube and have searched for other credible review sources. It was a drop here a while back with so few purchases and little love online in terms of amount of reviews. Is there anyone with firsthand listening experience or reliable, third-party frequency response graph? Any thoughts? I plan on driving these cans with my Topping D30 DAC, Massdrop O2 amp, and listening to music via Deezer lossless audio.
For reference, I own the HD58X (I love its vocal presence) and HE4XX (for its clarity, speed, slight brightness and tighter bass) . I just recently purchased the DT1990PRO. I auditioned the DT1990PRO at the local Yodabashi Camera and was enamored with its clarity, accuracy, sound stage, bass impact and extension. Though, the treble was a bit shrill, I can forgive its sibilance simply because I can EQ it and the build/design is phenomenal. I enjoy a warm sound, though not too warm, clinical, accurate, and a touch fun. I bought and sold my Meze 99 Neos because the bass was wonderful, but muddy, and it was fantastically warm, though a little too artificially warm for my liking.
