I'm also interested in Halo Acoustics though I can't find their headphones in stock at Taobao. I also heard they're making a headphone in the 10,000 RMB range.

How would you compare it to the ES-2a which is about $800 cheaper?

Take one + from a PSU and - from another, connect them together to form ground. Then connect the other +/- to the B inputs.

I think there's no resistor to limit the current so it blows up.

Merry Christmas I made the output board for D&G and tested it with +/-400V and 845 tubes. Seems to be working as there's 44v across the cathode resistor. I was planning on using +/-1250V but the C3M mosfet blew up on the circlotronps because 1n4007 diodes aren't rated for that voltage.

I think they'll be too scared of the high voltages 😁

I think the metal film resistors will work, they're used on the cfaelectrostat board in google drive. It's quite a bit bigger and you need two of them for one channel.

The thick film resistors are still bit of a problem cause of drift. Even with the dn2540, turning the trimmer a little too high or low will still cause it to drift.

Does your board have a ground plane?

I'm curious about the pricing and how it compares to the ES-2a.

Though running it close to max bias will probably damage your hearing.

I've used Vishay's CRCW 2010 and 2512 resistors rated at 400V. They are thick film resistors. Unfortunately due to political issues.
