Have you tried stock tubes yet? I actually enjoy the stock tubes a lot, I wonder what differences would be between pre amp tubes stock vs vokshov

Mmm.... Your post is kinda making me want to do the same. I mean I already own 2 raytheon vintage preamp tubes after all... Also i havent felt the need to tube role the ta 66 for one I haven't find any suitable alternatives since they rare-ish sorta "newer" in the scene Russian tubes, and the...

Hd600 1990 pro were the better ones, also beyerdynamic 900 pro x, meze 99 classics, hd660s and heavily modded monoprice retro. I also own he400se but haven't plugged them in cause they're planners and everyone says it's a bad paring. I also own the koss lineup (Porta pro, kph30i and ksc75)...

I actually did the opposite, ordered the Ta 26s figuring that it was expensive and more powerful so the ta66 might be a little brother to the Ta 26s, however I ordered 220v version so I canceled to order again. Before I did though I realized the Ta 66 was actually bigger and heavier, also took...

Haven't noticed that, I usually crank it with headphones and lower/increase volume with e50 dac. But I always use at noon as a preamp with speakers and haven't noticed that, bass definetly increases (in a pleasing manner) but nor brightness to my ears

I've only try them with 900 pro x and dt 1990. The 900pro x require a nice clean signal to sound their best but can still handle the extra power quite well. The 1990 pro though have been completely overhauled using the ta66. The highs have been tamed considerably (but the beer peak is still...

Could you please post an update when you get them and have a chance to try them? I'm very interested to see how they change/improve the sound

I tried it with beyerdynamic 900 pro x which are 48 ohm 100db/1mw can be driven very well by the ta 66. however I don't think they are a good pairing since the sound isn't as pleasing as with my topping l50, with hd 660s hd 600 and dt 1990 it's the other way around

Most definitely, dac is topping e50

Thanks! I've only gone 3 o clock max on the knob and no noise can be heard when not playing music, dead silent. YMMV, since the cable I plugged with is thick and over engineered and i had previously noticed reduced noise using single coils on a guitar tube amp (which is that I used it for

My ta 66 just arrived today, so far so good. Noise floor is really low (but I'm using an after market ac cable I had and not the one that came with it). Sound is deliciously warm and detailed definitely brought new life to my hd600 (which are the one HPs I've tried it with thus far) better...

I don't have it yet, it will arrive in 1 or 2 weeks.

I ordered mine already, seems like a good buy. At first I thought it might be a baby ta 26s, but it's actually bigger and heavier, while it seems so be less powerful I think it's more reasonably scaled back since the ta 26s was basically useless past noon. Also the improvements in the...

Does it have pass-through on the aux output so that is passes the signal unaltered when the amp is off?
