Yeah, the FX-10 is a nice little amp and I have zero complaints. I also scored mine on eBay, but for ~$450, which is still freaking better than the new price of closer to $800 they run for these days. The sound quality is just about the same as this Cayin MT-12N, but I think the Cayin might have a small edge because 6N1/6N1P make for better (quieter/less-noise) phase splitters.
I use JBL Studio 570 as my primary speakers and holy hell both of these EL84 amps can make them painfully loud. I <3 horn drivers, and those speakers are some of the best sounding I've found in the price bracket, and that is with all of my amps (especially the old PrimaLuna ProLogue 5). Of course, they aren't as efficient as the Zu, only being 88dB vs the 98dB of the Zu.
I've tried to snag the Zu Omen Dirty Weekends for the past year and a half, but seem to always miss the window to order them. I may just have to bite the bullet and order one of the regular Omen sets. Either that or maybe a set of Foster folded horns with 6" drivers. Of course if I end up with super efficiency drivers... then I'd probably have more reason to buy (or build) a 6S19P based OTL amp in the 3-5w range.

FayneI should have mentioned that mine were the Dirty Weekends. It's worth contacting Zu to see if they have any in stock. They were out when I wanted mine but I requested from them and what do you know...they had the exact color I wanted the next day. I don't know if it was coincidence or they can just make them on demand and just not advertise it. I went with the blue ones and they are really nice. They do need some bottom end though and I have them paired with an ML Dynamo 500 sub which had died (my boss was going to throw it away) but he gave it to me and I was able to order a Dayton Audio plate amp for it and it pairs perfectly.
I love your plans though with the folded horns. My dream is to make something similar to the Jubscala (just google it up - very cool design). Good luck and keep posting here - I love reading about these projects!

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
