An SS amp like the Senn may give more bass tightness than a 300B SET but I'm not so sure. I wonder if the timbres will be as rich as with the 300. The comparison will be interesting.

Jérôme.......I will be interested to read your impression of the Sennheiser HDVA 600 headphone amplifier. I am curious how it compares to your Manley 300B preamplifier headphone output. I hope your dealer will be able to accommodate your request.
