University flat on desk (Cambridge Audio 740c TOSLink input or CD - Stax SRM-006t - Sennheiser HE60: Back at home in living room (dad's Esoteric X03SE or Sony DVP-NS9100ES - Stax SRM-006t - Sennheiser HE60): Back at home in bedroom side-table (Onkyo FRV-5 - dad's HD650): I do prefer to listen to speakers at home since I value soundstage a lot. The speakers also have better bass than HE60 or HD650. (of course not the mini-hifi speakers!) Edited November 11, 2007 by milkpowder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotiao 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Nice! Let us know how it sounds. We should try to arrange a tube amplification shoot out one day. Hi, Due to my other commitments, it's going to take very long before it can reach at least 300 hours, :-( Just 2 hours burn-in it sounds more or less the same as my already burn-in GCHA which I like a lot. Right now it's reaching 50 hours of burn-in time, the first impression was the wider and deeper soundstage. All the details seems to be much more coherent and came through easily (more holographic presentation like I can "see" the instruments played behind my head). RS-1 with ZD has even more soundstage depth and air, W5000 + ZD also is the most natural sounding combo I'd heard, PS-1 + ZD, everything seems well-controlled with authority and liquidness. Haven't tried other headphones yet. I am using NOS Brimar 6SL7GT CV1985 (brown based) and Mullard ECC35. Summary for the early 50 hours burn-in time: musical, fast and dynamic, warm, detailed, not laidback presentation, no fatigue for prolong listening (I have to force myself to stop listening), very nice looking in person but the two 6c33c-B very hot (can feel the heat even two steps away, so air-con on at all time if only Singapore has Winter), it's dead quiet and no hum yet (fingers crossed). A tube amplification shoot out sound interesting, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
