Holo Audio Bliss
I went to audition the Holo audio May+ Bliss Brought my ZMF AC and Hifiman HE1000 stealth and it was WOW, crazy resolution, very good timbre and good sound stage. Good bass texture, quality and quantity. I'm happy to now realized my Lampizator Big7 is still way ahead of the May, but the Bliss...- realmccoy

ZMF Atrium Closed
The 3A tested didn't have stock tubes on it, the owner said he tube rolled quite a lot and ended with the sound he most liked. But I forgot what tubes he had on.

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
Yeah I figured the only way to know is to buy the amp. I'm not getting any answers either at Lampizator thread or other forums too as most Lampi owners are using it on two channels. I'm starting to believe that I might be the only 1 using a Big7 on a headphone setup. Appreciate your reply- realmccoy

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
The yearly Hifi audio show, it has both two channels and head-fi gears. Some brands would release new products at this show, I remember Campfire Trifecta was first shown in this show back in 2022 before the official release- realmccoy
