If I had a way to know up front that my taste was biased toward warmer-sounding headphones (ZMF biocellulose driver dynamics in particular) and OTL tube amps, that would have been wonderful. The journey was fun, but could have been oh so much shorter (and less expensive).
Also: Suck it up and buy the expensive input tubes once instead of trying to find “the best tube pair under $150”. Also a shortcut and money-saver.
