Posted a week back about this tube amp. I was quite impressed with it since it only cost me £50. After doing research however, the general consensus is that this will be an improvement when fully balanced, therefore I bought a XlR to 4.4mm adapters for my headphone cable and and a dual XLR to 4.4mm male lead to connect to my IFi Zen DAC signature.

I agree that it does sound better. I noticed quite a difference at the low end, the bass seems punchier and the and the highs don't sound as piercing. The timbre has changed too, just sounds different.

I am using Jan 5670 tubes that came with it (The stock tubes are boxed away. All in all the total cost was around £80. Not bad indeed. Apparently the tubes need to burn in? Or is that a myth?

It's annoying that no reputable retailer stocks the 6XX in the UK. Had to resort getting mine from Ebay, still sealed though. This is the reason this time around I got the Hd600 a sit was £10 more and £100 less than the HD650 and 660
