I am wondering if there are any quality budget tube amps under $250? Looking to pair with 6XX. I had the cavalli tube amp which I liked, but there were QC issues and I went through 3 of them before selling the last one. Love my Asgard 3, but miss the tube sound sometimes.

Hello, We are looking fora pair of comfortable travel over-the-ear headphones for my 3 year old son, preferably with Bluetooth. We are going on a train ride and also a plane ride within the next couple of months. Any suggestions?

Hello I am looking to get a battery powered amp/dac combo for my iPhone 11 Pro for around $150. I don’t need Bluetooth. I am leaning towards either the iFi hip dac or the Fiio Q3. I would primarily be using my Focal Elegia, Ety Er4xr, and FutureSonic G10 with the setup. Anyone have any...

Hello I am looking to get a battery powered amp/dac combo for my iPhone 11 Pro for around $150. I am leaning towards either the iFi hip dac or the Fiio Q3. I would primarily be using my Focal Elegia, Ety Er4xr, and FutureSonic G10 with the setup. Anyone have any suggestions on which might be better?

Hello, I am looking for an IEM to complement my Futuresonic G10 which have great bass. I want something that has good detail and soundstage. I’ll mostly be using it for classic rock, female vocals, folk, bluegrass, and classical music. Looking for suggestions for the best option under $350. Thanks!

I have a Cowon Plenue P2 on the way (which I got for $300). I know it is a little old and am wondering if there are better sounding newer DAPs out there in the same price range. I don’t really care about streaming as it’ll be used for my own high quality music collection. I really just want the...

Hello, I have currently have a HD6XX and am eyeing the Elegia to compliment the HD6xx. I need a closed back for work and sometimes need one at home. Currently I have the DT770, but they aren't wowing me. I am curious how does the sound signature of the Elegia compares to the HD6XX. Specifically...

Hello, I’m looking for a new desktop amp. I’d be driving HD6XX and DT770 headphones. I’ll be using a DF black as the DAC. Curious what would be my best options in the $100-200 price range? I’ve heard about the Asgard 3, Vali 2, JD Labs EL Amp II (b-stock), Topping A50, and upcoming ifi amp and...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a pair of closed full-sized headphones for around $100? These will be for work so making sure others can't hear my music is important. I listen to a range of music genres. I can the DT770 for $110 used. What might be some others that would be in that price...

I'm completely new to tube amps. I have the He 400i and will be getting the HD6XX next year. I'm looking for a tube amp under $200 that would pair well with these two headphones. What would be my best option?

I am looking for IEMs that have good bass that isn't too muddied and doesn't bleed into the mids or highs. I've narrowed my choices down to the future Sonics G10, Sony MDR 7550, 1more quaddriver, and the Oriveti New Primacy. I'm wonder if people have any thoughts on which would be best for my...

I am increasingly listening to more pop, hip hop, and rap. I have the Hifiman RE-262 which aren't great for these types of music (but are wonderful for classical and bluegrass). I am looking for some iems that have good hard hitting bass, but do not sacrifice on the clarity, mid quality, and...

I have the Schiit Fulla 2. I'm wondering what's my next step up? Is there a next step up? I need something at least semi-portable as I use my Fulla 2 with my computer and smartphone around the house. I'm looking at between $150-250. My headphones are Hifiman RE-262, TDK B200, HE-400i. I'm also...

With the Magni 3 out it looks like the Magni 2 and Uber are on sale. I have HE-400i, TDK B200, and Re-262 headphones. Will the Magni 2 be able to power them fine or do I need the Uber? Second can I use the Schiit stack (regular or Uber versions) to play music off of a smartphone device (Iphone 6...

Hey,   I'm looking for IEMs that can be worn over the ear and come with rubber cable guides and don't break the bank (under $40). So far, I know of only the Soundmagic PL30 which are kinda old and was wondering if there isn't something newer. I have owned a pair of the M6 and could never get a...

Hello everyone,   I'm looking for a mini-shelf sound system or micro component sound system (I know they've been called both). So far I haven't found anything that truly fits my needs. I'm looking for a system that has good sound, but also has decent bluetooth. I thought I had found it with...

Hello,   I have the chance to get either a dragonfly for $100 or a Fiio e10 for $45. I will be using a laptop as source and will be running Hifiman HE300 and Re-262s as well as a pair of TDK BA200. I'm curious if the dragonfly is worth the extra 50 dollars, or if it's best to go with the e10...

I am looking for a DAC/amp for under $100. I can get a e10 for $45, but recent noticed that the Dragonfly has dropped to $100. I am powering a pair of Hifiman HE300, RE-262s and TDK BA200. I was curious if the dragonfly is significantly better than the e10 priced at $45.

I just got a pair of HE-300 and was wondering how do people tell which version the HPs are? I was under the impression the newest versions came with pleather pads, but mine came with velour. Is there any other ways to tell?

I have some Best Buy GC and was curious what people thought of the Audioquest Dragonfly. I've been looking for a DAC under $100 for my laptop and saw that Dragonfly is on sale. The iems I have are RE-262, BA200 and the cans are HE300. My source is a lenovo laptop and I play mainly Apple Lossless...

I recently saw that the Dragonfly has dropped to $100 on Bestbuy.com. I have about $110 in BB GC. I was looking at the e10, but now am wondering if it is worth it to just get the Dragonfly. I have several iems; RE-262 and BA200 as well am getting the HE300 soon. Would the dragonfly improve the...

I am looking at getting the he-300 or the hd598. I was wondering how do their sound signature compare and if one is better than the other. I listen to mainly classic rock, some edm, raggae and rock.

I am looking for either IEMs or headphones that have deep, powerful bass. I guess my reference is the XB500, which I unfortunately never got my hands on, but was able to try. These are basically going to be my fun iems/HPs for dance, edm and hip hop. My budget is $50-70. 

Hey,   So I just got my HD 598 today. While listening to several songs on them, there has been a kind of quick flickering where the song quality kinda flickers for a half second. It has happened a couple of times with both plugged into my computer and my e11. I hadn't noticed this with my...

I'm looking to try out the Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250ohm headphones in the DC area. Does anyone know of any stores that might have a demo pair?
