Also, is that 300 degree thing an issue? Do i have to cool those some way?
“Best” is subjective, and a loose term. Tubes I wouldn’t say are “Best” they are different from solid state, and people like how they change the sound. For consistency and accuracy go with solid state. And no the 300 degree thing is normal. You actually have to wait for the tubes to reach that temperature otherwise your Amp is going to sound all wrong. It also makes it where you have to lay the Amp flat, and it’s a big Amp, because if you lay it on its end to place it upright the heat from the lower tubes rises and heats up the upper tubes and you get a channel imbalance. Honestly I would go with the Modi 2 Magni 3 stack. You are just getting into the audiophile world, you don’t need to go insane with high end tubes and stuff like that. The Magni 3 is advertised as “the only Amp you’ll ever need” honestly that’s true. It will drive any headphone, and it’s very clean. Unless you want to get into tubes or balanced, You really don’t need anything else. Take that, for $200 you’d be set and they are small and can be stacked so they don’t take up much desk space.
