FINALLY my HD6XX don’t suck.
I have Massdrop HD6XX on my head right now. I have stated more than once that I hate these headphones and I have tried them on all of my amps and only got somewhat decent performance playing them from the Darkvoice 336SE with EQ. Just now, I was just rolling tubes on my Ray Samuels Audio Emmeline II The Raptor and I finally struck gold. This is the first time Massdrop HD6XX have actually sounded good to me, and they sound buttery smooth!
For anyone wondering what tubes were playing, they are Tung Sol 5687 $100/pair and a Mullard ECC82 (12AU7) $150. Schiit Bifrost 2 as the source.
I am going to roll more tubes now to attempt to create more magic.
