I used a maxed Torpedo 3 with my Utopias for a while. I didn’t think it was a great match. The upgrades made the amp more aggressive and the Utopia didn’t need any help in that regard. Same with HD600. I preferred the sound of the original Torpedo 3 without the CCS and Mundorf caps.
I would say skip. I had it maxed with the soekris dac 1541, and the og clears and it was ok, but nothing really revolutionary. I would say go full big boy tube, or go for a good SS amp.
Thanks, Gents. The seller is a good guy and is making it pretty enticing with a big collection of tubes including Teles and RCA clear tops. But, yah - I'm really looking for that next level. Looking also at the Feliks Echo 2 and Elise 2.
