Well, here it is folks. The new Audio Technica closed headphone flagship Audio Technica ATH-AWKT "Kokutan". All can be read on the official web site and the first review can be found here as well. I have to say I love AT cans and W5000 is still my home office favorite being closed one and...

As in my previous thread about polished W5000 I got carried away a bit I've started to post my impressions aboutWA2 tube rolling so without further ado my impressions for whoever is interested in.   Quote:

OK, this is nothing new and all the credits are going to whoever invented this polishing thing couple of guys were asking me for materials that I've used. As I came back after my vacation and was cleaning a bit anyways, I've found stuff that was using to polished my phones and amp. Photos...

EU seeks to make 'cranking it to 11' on DAPs nearly impossible Love that brain-pounding sensation when you jack that volume past the sensible limit? If so, you best hop on the next flight to somewhere not within Europe, as the almighty European Commission is fixing to peg the default volume...

OK here is the deal. I have Raysonic CD128 CD Player with RCA line modified with Auricaps and other boutique parts for more precise and detailed sound I believe, and XLR line is a stock one so I believe more lush ,bigger and mellower sound.There are also different tubes for XLR and different...

Lately I've purchased AT-W5000 and frankly speaking I'm not sure if this is my "house sound" but they are so involving that I've started to listen to my collection like one by one up to 3-4 AM. But I can hear that X-Can modded is not the last word in headphone amplification. The tricky question...

I guess previous title was a bit misleading so maybe now sb can help me. Right now I've upgraded my source to modified Raysonic CD128 and it was this WOW factor in sound quality. More than happy with the sound improvement. But then upgraditis bite me and I though maybe my headphone amp can do...

OK. As title says. Right now I've upgraded my source to modified Raysonic CD128 and it was this WOW factor in sound quality. More than happy with the sound improvement. But then upgraditis bite me and I though maybe my headphone amp can do better or actually not mine but maybe another one. My...

I need an advice on this machine - I can buy this around 300 Euros but this is more or less price range of entry Project and Goldrings or Rega's - can sb advice ? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-MuFRCIi...00&I=033DP300F This is rather urgent as right now I found this one on sale at local shop...

OK, Last weekend I had a chance to have audition of PPX3 SLAM 6SN7 + my AKG 501 and Audio Technica W5000. Records: My ultimate test for high frequencies - track 10. I hope that some of You are familiar with DIVOX Antiqua's editions as this is the sharpest, cleanest violin recorded ever...

I was about to order Woo 3 but one of the most experienced headfiers PM me that Woo is actually not transparent and detail level is also poor - "average sounding amp" as he stated so no I'm back on my quest for headphone amp. I'm looking for amp that has: AIR, DETAIL,HOLOGRAPHY, TEXTURE of...

Definetely this week I'm gonna order amp. Still not sure which. I narrowed down the range to Woo/Darkvoice. Can anyone help with experience. Which is better for classical music together with AKG k501

Anyone knows if Woo Audio 3 has auto bias like Darkpower and Darkpower users can you compare those two concerning sound and quality of components?

I'm very close to pull the trigger and buy Aria - strictly for amp - not interested in DAC.But I'm not sure and would be great if anyone could tell out of experiance if Aria is any better than Rega Ear\ Musical X-Can v3 . Woo Audio 3 is another option. This amp is gonna be for AKG 501...

I know this discussion was all over this forum but after 2 days of research I could not find honest and right answer to the question: Which amp has a great synergy with AKG 501? I was considering X-Can v3 - unfortunately have heard this one out of the box on silver cables and I was not...

Ok so after considering HD595, DT880 and K501 I ended up buying AKG. I must say they are gorgeous. Everything I was looking for. And lacking impact bas is not that noticeable. There is bas but very contour like , similar to Micromega sound.Viola still has excellent quality. And...

Today I heard Beyerdynamics and I'm 90% sure I like them better than HD 600 or 595 but my main concern is amplification. So far I do not have any Headphone amp and most likely for a few months I will not buy ( my wife would kill me if she'd only know about"additional costs"), but anyway I need...

I know that this is not the first post about it but I have very specific questions. I need to buy headphones. My type is Sennheiser HD 595 or Beyerdynamic DT880. I'm listening to mostly classic - Monteverdi, Vivaldi but also love women voices- Callas,Krall,Wilson. Headphones for now will be...
