Shindo vs the world
Theres a guy on the bottlehead forum who has the monbrison and the bottlehead moreplay and he actually said they sound similar believe it or not!  
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i

Shindo vs the world

Yamaha ns 5000
I think its not a room issue you know why, I put my headphones on my pass amp it made them sound bright as well... it gave them the same fatiguing character. I am sure the x350.8 is warm relative to a lot of SS amps but im just really sensitive to... 
Yamaha ns 5000
@yyzsantabarbara I can't really say since mine were demo models and also I moved to 2 different listening rooms over the 3 years of ownership. What I can say is for me and my ears the pass + ns5000 combination is becoming too fatiguing (X350.8). ...

M900U vs the world

M900U vs the world

So I bought the Willsenton R-800i
My friend let me borrow the r800i. I know you'll think im weird but I actually like it even better when I run my bottlehead moreplay into it (and NOT through the pre in). I know its like 2x pre amping but it just adds this tubeyness and richness w... 
Yamaha ns 5000
I wonder how the ns5000 compares to the atc scm 100 or 150.
