I have a self built Zen Triode with the Hazen mod.
I used Edcore transformers.

Should I consider adding the anniverary mod?

I ordered a set of the Tiny Radials for the speakers.


I use Jriver Media to play flac and wave files at this point through a set of Klipsch Promedia speakers.
It sounds pretty good.

I would like to use the Zen as the amp to power my Tiny Radials for my desktop at my office.

I think this will sound much better.

I am usually alone here late at night so I can crank it up if I feel the need to.

Do I just use an 1/8 stereo plug to RCA's to send the audio?
Do I need a DAC?
Do I need a preamp?
Do you think I will need a subwoofer?

Thanks

The topping E30 looks like a good choice without breaking the bank.

Thank you.

Very nice build.
I will have to try the 6ns7.
Is there a socket adapter available?
What speaker wire and interconnects do you use?

I ordered a Topping E30 Dac, some silver plated speaker cables and interconnects.
We'll see how well it works when everything gets here.

DACs can be a bit of a rabbit hole, after lusting after one for years I finally got a Benchmark DAC2 last year, first to function as a headphone amp/DAC and now just serving as a DAC in my main system. Couldn't be happier, it's one of those "I'll never upgrade it as long as it's working" things.
