Looking to sell my Ampsandsound Kenzie Rev 1. I've loved every second with it but unfortunately a tube amp is just not realistic for my current living scenario. Rev 1 unit upgraded with Jupiter caps. 8/100 low/high output taps. Overall unit is in good condition with the exception of a nick on...- ben8ding

ZMF November // 2023 // MEGATHREAD!
So I've never really considered my ears detailed enough to tell the difference between cables but this ZMF November I ended up buying a B-Stock Atmos cable since I thought it would at least look nice and be a lot more pliable. I've had the stock ZMF OFC cable for a bit and while it sounded...- ben8ding

Just wanted to give another shoutout to ZMF's amazing customer service. Had a cable come in with a loose Mini XLR connector. Sent the team a video of it rattling and they sent me a new cable right away.- ben8ding

Eyeballing a diamond bottom ECC801s. Worried about the microphonics but I think it should be fine.- ben8ding

Raytheon 2C52 and it's easily my favorite. I snagged the last two from Tube Depot and they're the quietest tube that I've gotten a chance to try. I have a Sylvania 12SL7 and a Sylvania coin base 12SL7 but they're a bit noisier. I haven't gotten a chance to try any really fancy 12AT7 tubes yet...- ben8ding

It really is just such an amazing combo. The pairing really adds a lot of texture to the music and it's almost like I'm transported to the recording studio.- ben8ding

Taking an indefinite break from scaling the hobby mountain here. The result of an explosion of obsession following the disintegration of my old Sundaras over the course of three months or so. The chain so far is a Denafrips Ares II leading into a Revision 1 Ampsandsound Kenzie OG into either my...- ben8ding

My ZMF November Haul + My LCD-2 for pics. Wanted to get a quick picture in before the sun set but I could have done better with the framing and posing. ZMF Atticus Stabilized "Arkouda" Audeze LCD-2 Rosewood ZMF Salire with what I think is Macassar Ebony on a Purpleheart base ZMF Atmos...- ben8ding

Ampsandsound Kenzie/Mogwai Impressions
So I’ve managed to find a coin base 12SL7GT tube for a Rev 1 Kenzie OG, and I’ve been hard pressed to find much information about it. As for sound, I’m still letting it burn in. I don’t prefer it over the Raytheon 2C52, as it’s not quite as controlled in the lower frequencies. But I just love...- ben8ding

They sound incredible too. The bass is so much deeper than I have ever experienced on a headphone before and I love it.- ben8ding
