Interested in the earliest iteration of the HD650. Open to negotiation on price.

Audeze LCD 2.2 Planar Magnetic Headphones Pre Fazor Rev 2 (/w Frequency Response) Very good condition pair of original Audeze 2 (Revision 2) planar magnetic headphones - the *pre* fazor model, made in 2012. This pair has been well looked after: the wood has been treated with Howard "Feed N...

My beloved Zen Lites broke and am willing to pay above retail for a good condition used pair. Please meszage me if you have a set you're willing to part with.

An Englishman took it like @therremans suggested 😉

Ahh OK, my mistake! I have the brown base. Intrigued as to whether/how it might differ to the black!

Ahh OK, nice. How does it compare to the brown base 6sn7gt I/you have also got?

@therremans what's the Brimar on the right? Do you need a pair?

@therremans thanks for your extensive input and testing - it's invaluable! Saving me a lot of wasted $$$ to be sure... I like your description of the Brimar 6SN7GT / GEC 6080 combo a lot here (save for the low end bit!). So, I agree... What do you think they're worth, roughly speaking...

Is this the one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224885672675?hash=item345c3b0ae3:g:CA8AAOSweXRh9rPr You mentioned good mids - how are the bass, vocals, treble? (Pairing would be with the GEC 6080 you recommended if you're up for some testing :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

These are the cheapest pair of British L63 I've come across, at $160 - https://mullard.org/products/copy-of-l63-osram-matched-pair-large-blue-decal-2

@therremans the issue I'm having with most of the driver tubes in your list is most don't seem readily available and it looks like the prices for those that are in the specified editions have skyrocketed since your purchases... I can find one pair of Sylvania 6J5GT (which sound great in your...

Thanks again @therremans. Apologies again for my ignorance, but I take it all these English L63 you refer to need to be installed as a pair with the adapter?? Is there a particular advantage sound-wise with a pair of L63 vs. the individual driver tubes you suggested above? I notice you list...

@therremans this is really helpful, thank you so much! I'm actually based in the UK, so UK sellers are much more preferable for me. Can I ask check why you prefer the GEC over the Mullard? Thanks again!

Thanks for the steer. Genres are diverse but alternative rock, folk and hip hop predominantly. I just don't want the shoutiness in the mids I perceived with the upper mids in the Valhalla - but I do like an intimate sound (hence HD series), don't like the vocals to feel recessed.
