i own both 8xx and 800s - they (8xx) sound great with the various EQ filters i've used, really it comes down to adding a little bass and doing something about the massive dip in the upper mids the stickers did very little to change mine - i took the cans wholly apart and soaked the metal in...

yeah that gain knob is hot. i haven't switched into high gain yet because on low i'm not able to raise it much past 9am (currently listening to cd900st and anything past 830 is too loud on low gain!)

you know i thought i heard some glitter in the highs when i first started to listen - now that the amp has been on for a few hours - that is all gone. listening to violin and piano, slightly louder than i normally would - and those crescendos are clean... but i definitely heard some scratch...

starting my listening with the t60rp 50th you see peeking in one of those photos. low gain, plenty of range, i'm well ahead of 10am on the dial while listening to Fruit by the A's. using roon, local CDs ripped to flac and tidal/qobuz streaming. no EQ. i'm one of those yahoos that thinks...

and i just checked ... now shows that it arrived in kansas city and will be delivered tomorrow. all you had to do was say it would show up today and i wouldn't be waiting! thanks nick76, thanks a lot! :D

USPS has pretty terrible tracking updates for me - mine shows delivering today but still sitting in the initial distribution center in TX I have a ddhifi 2.5 to 4.4 for my quidelix5k - as i own exactly zero cans with 2.5 but 4 or 5 with the 4.4 (you practically need a degree to understand all...

holy cable adapters batman... is that 6.3 to 3.5 to 4.4? either way - good looking amp, i think mine is arriving tomorrow!

i mean it is awfully cheeky to be directed to a source and say you prefer someone else sum it up for you because you can't be bothered reading through said material. not for nothing but that's how information gets jumbled. who wants their bits and bobs secondary or tertiary to the source...

oh you want the cliff notes version? oh ok... is it a cosmetic update? no. there you go!

just checked shipping - things are in transit and should arrive on the 21st.

I have a lyr+ with an apos ray 6sn7 topping it. i don't except a vast sonic gulf, i know differences in this hobby are usually discreet. but i'm happy to offer up what i hear when ABing the two...

i have used the roger with my 300 and 600ohm cans. my gear gets cycled a lot and honestly, i can't remember what it sounded like with some of my other units - i've got cd900st, 600s, edition xs and about 10 others i never put it through any paces with. i got the lyr and the roger around the...

just ordered my vali 3... can't wait to start plugging stuff into it and see how much she differs from the lyr+ (quite a bit i'd imagine...) my only other tube amp, besides the lyr, is a tor roger and that thing is as clean as a whistle - looking forward to hearing some actual "distortion"!

i got one of those apos ray 6sn7 tubes and it's sticking out the top of my lyr+ / that's been my go-to amp for almost everything lately. i'll dig the piety out soon enough and get it connected back up to check the combo out...

yeah i tried hart and a few other of those stores back when i got mine - none of them could do the deed / i ended up cutting the ends off the balanced cable that came with mine and making my own. thankfully the t60 has the standard straight connector so that was much easier to deal with...

Hmm, i too have a piety and a ghost - i have yet to pair them. thanks for the suggestion...! did you like high or low gain better?

about 200 songs in on the 6050. listening has been across the hipdac3, topping L50 and schiity lyr+ / did some listening on a qudelix5k but not enough to justify any impressions. everything has been CD quality to DSD512 easy to drive, all amps have been on low gain, even the hipdac -...

i'm on song 3, can't really give impressions besides nothing is wrong. first blush is they sound a ton like the other 50th anniversary cans ... as they should. starting with the leather pads, i prefer the feel of microfiber so i'll switch to those sooner than later. they are flat beautiful -...

feb 2024 / apple music app on windows still has no way of taking exclusive control of asio/wasapi. qobuz and tidal do, but it's a no go with apple

so... alto music shipped me t50rp 50th - after happily taking my $436 for the t60rp / the listing on the site was for t60rp, the entire product page described the t60rp, the pictures were of the ... t60rp... sure it might be simple mistake - but i'm still frustrated. update - "simple mistake"...

i've got amps galore over here, plan on giving them a spin with everything i can plug them into! my two fav amps of late are the schiit lyr+, i've yet to connect something to it that i didn't love in both ss and hybrid mode (they're so close it really doesn't matter fwiw, even through about 5...

i put in two orders, both stores said they were "in stock" but then both immediately contacted me and said they were a pre order and when they get it, they'll ship it... audio46 and alto music. (my buddy gave me $450 a few weeks ago to get him a pair, he's deployed and won't be back until this...

t60rp anniversary ordered about 5 minutes ago. i didn't see a thread but once they arrive i'll get some pics/impressions up.
