Pardon me asking, but did you by chance realize your rectifier and preamp tube are misplaced or is yours different?
Hah! Good catch. I tossed tubes in quick to snap a couple pictures and didn't even notice, but took them out again right away and put it back in the box until the vintage tubes from ZMF arrived a couple days later.

Absolutely stunning I can’t wait for the to see mine. That’s dog is enormous wouldn’t be a great dane if it didn’t make the amp look like it’s not even half the size of the measurements!

Stunning and loved the dog size reference pic! I will be over the moon happy, if mine looks that good.

I’ll have to live with the old Pendant. The hum isn’t to much have some nice tubes. It’s a bit bass light on Solitaire P but Empyrean is good. Have connected to May KTE dac and really sounds good. This is my 2nd one and my brain remembers it being bigger but it’s small. Mine was was bought 2nd hand with the better caps. No tube rolling but my previous one was warm sounding compared to the 2nd one.

Thankfully, you do have other tube hybrid and tube amps that pair nicely with your P!
I didn't have the P when I owned my Pendant, but the Bigger Ben sure does make the P shine with no lack of bass!!!

Mine arrived, yes. Haven't had much of a chance to spend time with it so nothing to say at the moment other than it sounds wonderful. :)

Ordered on 2/8/21
Delivered on 4/6/21
Thanks for that info and all the pics. I've been thinking so much about the amp sound itself that it's nice to see I'll have yet another work of art on my desk!

MY AMP IS ON THW WAY!!! I Don’t know why I’m more Hyped than when my Autuer was being shipped. Maybe it’s because I know I’ll be enjoying a great headphone even more.

Perfect timing on the tubes I just ordered. Probably won’t use them right away until I get a feel for the amp with stock.

Can you share your order date for the Pendant?

Any owners of the Pendant and Euforia around? How do they compare?

(Edit: Decided to go with the Pendant after reading/watching a few more reviews)
