Recommendation Tube AMP
07/15/21 at 01:38:57
 
Hello good morning,

I want to buy a new Tube Amp Headphone, new life Smiley

Current setup: Lcd 4, spirit torino TwinPulse, HD800s

Do you recomend which model? With your experience.

1. Drives well all headphones?
2. There is enough power? (11/12 oclock for example)
3. The ship is to Europe Spain
4. This can bem considerated Tube Rolling?

Is it possible to extract the technical capability of LCD4, like low end and the soundstage?

For the 200 Ohm and 64ohm this tube amp is recommend?

thank you in advance

regards

What Steve said. Get the Anniversary Mods for the Taboo MK IV if you can.

I will also point out that the CSP series of preamps also make excellent headphone amplifiers and I used an LCD-2 when I had one working with it successfully and they absolutely make the HD800S sound superb. (I have both a CSP2+ and a CSP3, both with the Anniversary Mods. . . though I have a Taboo Mk IV I use that with speakers and as I mainly listen to headphones while my wife is sleeping yards away I don't use it as the speakers still sound even though at low volume). In that system I use my CSP2+ with the Sennheisers. A match made in heaven.

I also use in a headphone only system a PS Audio GCHA headphone amplifier that I have to admit sounds fantastic, especially with my ZMF Ori headphones.
