Just have to add in to my thread.   Code-X driven by EC 2A3 w/ upgraded tubes... pure musical (yeah... i know, it's a word to avoid) bliss. HD800 is still favourite, but the gap between them has been closed with a transformer-coupled amp.   /V

Well.... How's it going with all the exotic tubes you have?   :)

  No hum issues at all... I've even used my CIEMs with it... Some microphonics yes, noticeable hum, nahh... not exactly!

Oh... No no no... the difference are very subtle. So if you like your short brown base, stop obsessing! ;)

I paid 1600 SEK (182€/245$) for a NOS ECC35 (both black and brown base) from Roland @ tangotubes.com. Don't know if he has any left.   Want me to check?

Want me to see if I can help you finding a NOS one?   Not Anax 3.0 yet... He who not must be named here, I hope you understand even if you don't agree (), hasn't made the 3.0 public yet.   /V

I loved that baby... But Anax-modding the HD800 w/ the Tall Black Base became my fave.. :)   /V

Great Michael! :)

I'm not getting into thos discussion...   Whatever floats your boat, as long as it has about 500 mW into 32-50 Ohms if the power is refined. Speaker amp this and that, ridiculous.   The CodeX is my favorite planar up date (excl. the Abyss, as I haven't had the possibility to listen to it...

Welcome to Sweden! Drop me a PM in the future and I can share some sweet spots to check out while here!   Back to topic... Hifimanrookie... What will you be driving the CodeX with?

This weather is not complying well with parcels...   I have a Eddie Current 2A3 stuck somewhere between France and Sweden, nobody knows exactly where, even though i have a DHL tracking number as well as several parcls with cigars somewhere between US and Sweden.   Be patient.. ;)

Hey mate,   I bought an updated 2A3, so it's more of a side-grade than uprade. :)   I want to start experimenting with high efficiency speakers.'   All the best, V

I think Luis will do everything you ask, especially if you're a government official from Washington.

In case anyone's interested... As much as I hate doing it. My ZDSE is up for sale. It's a 110V-version, residing in Sweden.   Cheers, V

Let me know if you need any unusual stuff. Tangotubes.com (Roland) is a swede that I have good contact with and he has a lot of premium tubes. Not cheap. But definitely NOS as in NOS.

  Hi mate!   I prefer the Tall Black Base... It's a bit more neutral while the short brown base was a bit more euphonic. It's a matter of taste. So try them out, pick the one you prefer (... and the differences aren't THAT big...)   Regarding the Full Music & Sophia Electric. The official...

C!   Congratulations on the ZDSE... and thanks for letting me buy your original prospect. A year later it becomes yours. Let me know if you need any interesting tubes, I got some in the stash...   Cheers, V

http://vorzuge.com/products/vorzamp/vorzamppure-ii   Prices are starting to get ALO Audio / RSA-ridiculous.   Too bad, at least the 1st gen was a pretty good amp, overpriced but good. Now they fixed the problems with the first gen and bump it up 135 USD. For what... A gain switch? HAH.  ...

So... How many (future) owners do we have here?

Harald is a really cool guy! I've mailed with him on numerous occasions, but that was the first time we met (by mistakes... he sat in the chair between while I was a bit disappointed by the Orpheus-system or rather the music playing). He has heard a lot of heaphones but I think both my...

Beautiful avatar... Must be a good photographer. ;)

I'd say the clamping force is a bit lighter. The big difference is however that the pads and headphone don't have the "roll inwards towards the nose"-feeling.   With LCD-2 r2 and LCD-3, the fluffier pads tend to create an inward rotation... the modded HE-5 doesn't have that problem.   The...

Keep which plain plastic cups? ;)

I was just asked per PM what I the CodeX sounds like...   Hi xxx!   I'm still baffled by how fantastic the CodeX is...   To be honest, to me it sounds like a mix of the following:   1) Soundstage and instrument placement of the HD800 2) Mids of the HE500/LCD-2r1 3) Bass like 90% of...
