Phonitor Xe in excellent condition Bought from Thomann Europe in 04 2021 This is a really good all rounder amp with neutral sound and power Selling to finance trying other things Power cable and quickstart manual included in the price

Mate, :ksc75smile: thanks for the reply, some 'relatively' cheaper deals exist on audio-markt.de maybe they will accept to negotiate. https://www.audio-markt.de/market/trafomatic-audio-head-2-4886880465

Bruv, I asked since you were claiming ''yeah like 10x better sound. LOL.'' with input tube changes, and thanks for taking the opportunity to educate me on different topologies, because it is true I do not have that much experience, and I understand that you are referring that I should not expect...

Any suggestions for the Output tubes 6n30p? and would they make much difference? The only thing I feel like I am lacking with this thing is a little bit of warmth.

I believe this deserves an update, I am around hour 50. I have made some tube changes, the included output tubes in the SE version are Mullard ECC88 and is the best of the lot compared to what I could find at home. (EH and some Russian ones) For most I have been listening to it with a...

thanks for the comments, too early to tube roll, but at some point I will take a peek myself as I believe I do have a matched pair of 6922s somewhere.

Some more time with the Head 2 SE Definite improvement (or my perception getting adjusted, i dont know - whatever) I tried Hd800S with the 300ohm setting, fantastic control, and impactful bass. (really!) One strength I found is the placement of instruments, like they appear from unexpected...

what would be a complementary headphone to D8K Pros. I am thinking Verite Open, any suggestions would be very welcome.

Just received the HEAD 2 SE. It is massive. I will be honest, first impressions are not stellar with Holo May & d8000 pro le, but is still too early.

I got one of those listed at a good discount, I do not have too high expectations, I took the chance to unearth maybe a hidden / underrated gem. Let's see I will also get Paltauf soon, will probably arrive in June. Will update you if and when I do.

yes, but I am expecting something new, the Trafomatic Head 2 SE (ex-exhibition) next week.

Has been 1 week with D8KPro LE, during that time a Holo May also joined the fold. All I want to say is that I have found that additional 15-20% from these additions. Previous combo was He1000Se + Pontus II, so no slouch. D8KPro LE is worth it.

Pontus is being replaced by May, not because I do not love Pontus. For the comparison between FA D8000 Pro LE vs HE1Kse, it is very early to say, and I am not going to attempt to use descriptive terminology (as I suck at that) but one thing I was surprised about was that I was loving Electronic...

just received my D8000 Pro LE. The package is amazing, Already enjoying immensely the music through my soon to leave Pontus II - Phonitor Xe combination. good times ahead

Pontus II used, in good condition with minor scratches. Pre 12th version Includes mains cable

Used. Good Condition with some signs of usage Puchased in April 2021 Included cable with 4 Pin XLR termination

found the thread on Icon, it looks like it can drive D8000 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/icon-audio-hp205d.972137/ I am still leaning towards Head2, I guess I have to do further research.

you are a great help, really appreciate it. About the Icon, I am not looking for something to drive the Susvara or 1266 but still something with enough juice to drive the planars like D8000 Pro. Do you think it is up to it?

HKse going nowhere, sorry. But I could let my T+A Solitaire P-Se go if you are interested :ksc75smile: I will take your advice, thank you!

seriously considering getting one of these, any idea where would be the best place to buy one online?

Thanks a lot for sharing, positive impressions indeed. Power ratings are also impressive 600 ohms 1 watt 120 ohms 5.4 watts 32 ohms 20 watts 15 ohms 35 watts 8 ohms 70 watts

I will take a look at it but yeah that might be difficult to find it in Europe and the new price is above my intented budget. https://paltauf.com/index.php/kopfhoererverstaerker/hpa-100 this looks interesting, but hard to find any impressions around. I wonder if anyone has first hand...

I was able to find a new D8000 Pro LE which is on its way to be (hopefully) delivered soon. Any suggestions for Amp pairing? I currently have a Phonitor Xe, anyone has any experience with this combination?
