Couple of updated pics of the system(s). Most of the bits and bobs all setup over two rooms. The mojo is on the shelf in the first pic, along with the IE300 I mostly use it with, and hd600 are currently in their box but will be added to something later.
I really enjoy having multiple systems as it lets me hear different things when my mood takes me. I also like playing around with bits so will probably never leave things alone.
In my little personal listening area located in a cubby hole off the living room I find this really enjoyable. Using the Astell & Kern SP3000 internal DAC in conjunction with the Woo Audio WA8 Eclipse Class A amp while bypassing the Woo’s internal DAC is magical. Running tubes with the SP3000 is quite something especially with the Utopias.
I think most of my recent listening has been with the ZMF Atrium driven off a Zähl HM1. Next would be the Stax SR-X9000 via a BHSE. Then, oddly enough, an HD660S2 via a Chord Hugo 2.
I’m sure that’ll change once I finally get to set up my HE1.
Thanks, I have the HD 6XX and use them a lot as well. I also have the HD 800s which i love for Jazz and Classical. HE-1 s are on my list for Christmas. lol
Different to, but as good as, pairing the Atrium with my big tube amp. But then the Atrium sounds good driven by pretty much anything competent (and that can muster a couple of hundred mW into 300 ohms). And the Zähl does a first rate job driving anything competent.
