raansire7Like how different, I thought headphone should sound different only. Cannot satisfy with one amp/dac so go for all of them ?

nick_tFriend, you are stubbornly and masochistically exposing yourself to the wrong place of the Internet if that is your viewpoint. If one is enough for you, good for you, but keep away from these types of posts that go against your ideology, or avoid commenting so you don't disturb everyone else that is participating according to the subject of the post. You are akin to a vegan who goes to a BBQ to preach veganism. This will be my last comment to you.

jgp1212It is actually pretty damn good! I bought the same tube for my Vali 2 before I sold it. I have Gold Lions for me Lyr-2 which really opened up the soundstage... wondering what it can do with the Cavalli but haven’t tried yet.

nick_tSame reason why people collect cards, cars (why? U can only drive one car!), antiques (how many cabinets does one need?), model trains (one should be good enough right?) or even why collect watches when only one can fit on your wrist? There all fun interesting collections and hobbies that’s why.

nick_tLol I have no guilt about it. You're clearly just trolling, going by all your previous posts. Which I usually don't reply to. It's not like I bought these all at once, I got them over a number of years. So I guess I was more or less intrigued with how each one sounded. Which lead to me building up this collection. Anyways, do I really have to justify my hobby? Inside a forum full of other people just as passionate about that hobby? :p

jgp1212What is your point ? Are you giving me an example ? Also, I only have HD6XX not 177x. Either the real solution to your answers, is protable, one for desktop solution, different sound signature that suits your needs and audio purpose. Well, one can say as a hobby as well Its such a simple question. How do you know I want a HD8XX ? The answer to your question because the HD800s is too expensive and the only cans that has airy highs and super wide soundstage mostly considered as nuetral Senheisser signature.

jgp1212Hello jgp1212. Very nice setup. You have accomplished exactly what I try to achieve as my dream setup. With small difference. Currently I have R2R DAC, Two(x2) THX 789, and HTC Cavaly tube +DAC, and some other gears. Please, need you advise as you have all of these beauties. Thinking for LCX +SDAC, but have doubt do I really need it? As I have two THX789. In other words, do I miss anything (sound-wise) without last component as LCX+dac? Any impression and recommendation will be highly appreciated. Because I am asking from a real user (not from advertiser) your opinion will be highly valuable for me. Regards, Kim

Snake0IL415for SnakeOIL415 and jgp1212 I am in rolling tube research for 6922 series tubes. Have found a good article about this tubes. Hope it will be helpful. Link: http://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm Keep rolling!!!! (with CCa :))) BTW SnakeOIL415 nice setup too. I love your hand made rack. Looking of wood color similarity I guess headphone stands also handmade? Nice! LCD2 non fazor Vegan version? (IMXO one of the best sounding LCD and very rare now) again: nice choice. Regards, Kim

kimdeugThanks :) I think the lcx is nice, but if you have the 789, then I think you probably aren't going require it. It outputs a more colored sound in comparison, with bass coming out punchier, with a more "analog" feel to it.

kimdeugThanks for the article share!!! I just picked up a Woo Audio Wa3, which has 2 6922s for driver tubes so I've been looking for some new tubes to experiment with. Any recs? Currently have the Genalex Gold Lions which is pretty tasty :-) Run them on my Lyr-2 as well and I feel like it really opened up the soundstage. Good eye!!! Those are LCD-2s with vegan pads, but actually have the fazors. I really like the synergy that I get with those cans partnered with the Cavalli Tube Hybrid and the Schiit Jotunheim -- I went to Can Jam in Irvine last month and the LCD-2 + Jotunheim was my travel setup!!! hahaha. I was thinking about getting rid of the Jot, but after traveling with it, I realized how convenient it was to have the amp/DAC combo; so easy to set up next to my bed in the hotel room! so the Jot won my heart and stays with me! Well, it's now my office (non-home) setup powering my Mr. Speakers Alpha Primes :-) Those racks are pretty hacky but thanks! I literally just went into a Home Depot and just looked for the cheapest way to build it. I think I spent a total of $30 to build all the racks. Looking back at it, I could have approached the project in a much better manner. The headphone stands are actually these from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Import-Wooden-Headset-Earphone-Headphone-Display-Stand-Hanger-Holder-Table-Rack/222856881492?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649. I then sanded them down, stained them, threw a coat of polyurethane and added some felt on the base and the top wooden pole where the headphones hang. With regard to the color of the wood, it's really the stain that gives it that color. This is the stain that I used: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Jacobean-Classic-Wood-Interior-Stain-2-Pack-339722/305518202?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CVF%7CD24%7CMulti%7CVARATHANE%7CPLA%7CPaint%7CVarathane_INT_Liquids_Smart%7c71700000043732766%7c58700004596122067%7c92700038640637724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwP6I06PE4wIVFBx9Ch1v1weREAQYASABEgIVJPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -- I'm not sure where you're based out of, but I would be happy to build you some racks and would only charge you the costs and shipping. I like building this stuff and just want to keep getting better at it, so the XP is worth it to me. Shoot me PM if you're interested. But what's really the meaning and point of all of this right? ;-)

Snake0IL415Hello my Friend from New Zealand. Thanks for offer and links, but this is my passion too. Want to build small rack by myself ( just as a hobby and enjoiment:)) You can not even imaging how I agree with you about Jotunheim for traveling. Around 9 months ago I sent back my Jot to manufacture with some issues. Schiit repaired and sent me my unit back, and everything for free. Around the same time (9 months ago) I left 3 different comments as Leonid Kim on youtube video, in addition to all your words about Schiit Jotunheim. Coincidence? Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-bRPEBxhq4 last week got Pathos Aurium and R2R DAC, Two(x2) THX 789, and HTC Cavali tube +DAC from Drop. I am quite new in tubes, but definitely looking for x2 of 6922 series tubes for Pathos Aurium and x1 for HTC Cavali. On top of some tubes for La Figaro 339 (picture of my Tung Sol 5998 tubes collection was posted somewhere above) Have started from the cheap one. Already ordered 3 Russian 6N23P Reflector and picked up locally PCC189 tubes (very cheap 7 NOS NIB tubes Zaerix brand for 30 USD) and Tesla E88CC on ebay 2 tubes gold pins for 26 USD But the most desirable for me will be: 7308 = E188CC or 8223= E288CC and the king of the 6922 series CCa (bloody pricey :(( All Telefunkens are very overpriced, may be they are good? Dont know yet. This is a link to Tesla E88CC 2 tubes on ebay, where I have ordered from. 26 USD for 2 tubes is very good price. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/E88CC-Tesla-NOS-gold-pin-Telefuken-construction-matched-pair-and-balanced/163734678076?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Also Jot will stay with me forever as my wife's gift. Regards Kim And keep ROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil_MHah. I'm glad you found it funny Yeah. That happened almost three years ago, but as soon as I read it, I remembered. 😄 On a serious note, some people, huh? So many nice things for them to do in their existence, yet they specifically choose to pester and disturb others through the Internet with provocative questions. 😬 Their ill intention is obvious. Their internal little man says, "I wanna have a pointless argument with strangers on the Internet." Worse, once they get hit with a roundhouse kick of coherence straight to their conscience, they say some defeated gaslighter-type retort such as "Sorry you cannot handle the truth". Whaaat? 😳 It's so nice to be nice, but some people just wake up and choose violence.

raansire7It truly is incredible how some people are, but He commented on another one of my comments much further down in the conversation, and said he also wished to apologize to everyone that he had been in an arguement with.
