    SW51; 8600 is still at the shop (#covidthings) - not gonna stress about it. But EC Af is certainly nonplussed with all the side-eyeing i'm giving it while sitting next to SW51.

    What headphones? I'm smitten with it and the Elex but It's interesting to hear about other good pairings people are finding.

    Right now HD600, but will try out HD800SDR and Aeolus tonight for a bit. I was a little worried I wouldn't like the reported slight lack of subbass, but I'm not finding that bothersome.

    It's liquid and honest in the lower treble that is pretty shocking for it's price. Kind of reminds me of the treble presentation of Lyr3 (but x 5 as good), and depending on tube. It's like "treble slam" - immediacy is a better term, maybe.

    I'll take your EC for $50 shipped to me. ;) Honestly, a lot of tube amp makers will need to provide answers soon on price/performance.

    I haven't gotten around to writing impressions of it yet, but I kept thinking that music just flowed out of it like a rushing, cool stream. The mids into treble really articulate that way, so I see what you mean. Like wheezin' the juice at the music fountain. Garglin' them sweet tones. Whip your drenched hair & face back like some slow-mo Baywatch shot, brother.

    Honestly can't wait to get mine, time to say bye bye to the Liquid Platinum I imagine. About how long did yours take to ship/arrive?

    It's like the audio version of doing a Whippet.

    Yep my SW51 is literally sitting on top of the Af now. (still haven't got my ass to write some impressions after a year...)

    Had to look up "doing a whippet" ... LOL
    Haven't done one since high school. Should go out and buy a can to try with SW51+ ...
