    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Hi.  Has anyone has these re-wired by Alo - or compared the ones from Alo with the standard?  If so i would love to hear thoughts on the differences.  Cheers Stu - from the land with the (currently) never ending summer.

    Hi.  I currently have an Alo Pan Am and also a Leckerton 6smk2.  Will these amps adequately drive a pair of T1s - I am looking at buying a pair here in NZ and don't really want to buy another amp. They  are 600ohm T1s.  Thks in advance.

    Amp(s) to drive Beyerdynamic T1s?

    Thanks. The thing is that I already own the Pan Am and also the Lecketron and am not really looking for another amp, just another set of headphones - to add to my Marty Customs.  Will the 2 amps that I currently have drive T1s properly?

    Amp(s) to drive Beyerdynamic T1s?

    Hi  I am looking at buying a pair of Beyerdynamic T1 600ohms and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts re whether my amps will drive them adequately.  I have a Leckerton UHA6S MK2, and also an Alo Pan Am.  Also, is it worth having them re-wired by Alo?

    History of headphones - a good article

    This in an interesting article in the SMH re the history of headphones - previously on Mashable.  Has anyone heard the Orpheus?   http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mp3s/listen-up-a-brief-history-of-headphones-20120927-26mjx.html

    Need Help Choosing Portable Amp: "IPod 4th Gen + Denon AH-D5000"

    I purchased the Leckerton65mkii with the changed out Op Am and love it.  Robust, small, portable, great sound, good price and a lota grunt.  Read up the reviews on this forum.  I have also just got the Pan Am an am enjoying that.  Have you considered getting new 'cups' on your Denons?  See Marty...

    A crazy (maybe) question or 2 but...

    Can one feed a portable (Pan Am and / or Leckerton62mk2) into another amped device i.e. my Arcam rCube?  It's just that I would like to be able to use the DACs of the devices. The rCube has a line in.   Another mad (maybe) question is if there is a solution (other than contact lenses or...

    Question regarding Pan Am and Gateway power supply...

    I takes 110 and 240 so I suppose that is dual.  It sounds really good, even through my crappy HPs.  I have new ones on the way.

    Question regarding Pan Am and Gateway power supply...

    OK.  Mine arrived today and very nice sounding with enough grunt to power a battleship.  Re voltage the are 110/240 so you will be fine in Aussie.  Output impedance??? But this has a lot more grunt than I will ever need.  I see that as well as the 10% Headfi member discount they have package...

    BREAKING NEWS! ALO audio's new portable tube amplifier + DAC!

    Just plugged in my Pan Am with GW and Passport - this thing could power a battleship.  More grunt than...   Shigseo - were you trying to power it off an iPad?   I like the way that if you 'upgrade' the valves they include the 'original' set as well.  Should be fun rollin them to see what...

    Question regarding Pan Am and Gateway power supply...

    Good question because I forgot to ask this and have ordered one for use in NZ.  I think I read somewhere that they are 110/220 but ask Ken.  He is the forum member with the link below - which offers a 10% discount on Pan Ams for a very short time.  You might be better buying in Aussie though...

    Advice needed on ultimate transportable setup

    Hi Currawong.  No - it's not my blog.  However I have ordered a Pan Am to act as a desk-top (with the Gateway and Passport - just in case...) - it should arrive next week.  I also bought a Bel Canto c5i for my desktop but the HP out lacks grunt.  It's working beautifully though driving my B&W...

    New Leckerton UHA-6S MKII Portable Headphone Amplifier Announced (Update User Impressions Added July 20th 2012)

    Happy Labour weekend to those of you in the US from a very wet NZ.  My UHA is in shipment and Marty is finishing off my woodies this week (see my earlier post - pure art / headbling).  Re the UHA, does the quality of the LOD make a difference when using an iPod?  I have looked at the FiiO 9 -...

    New Leckerton UHA-6S MKII Portable Headphone Amplifier Announced (Update User Impressions Added July 20th 2012)

    My UHA62 mk2 is shipping tomorrow.  Yay.  Any thoughts anyone on the question that I asked yesterday on this thread re cables for different sources etc?  Sorry to ask again - but would love your input and to hear what you are using with your Leckerton.

    New Leckerton UHA-6S MKII Portable Headphone Amplifier Announced (Update User Impressions Added July 20th 2012)

    My UHA6smk2 arrives in a week or so (as well as my new Marty custom HPs).  I am in a bit of a cable conundrum.  I know that Nick supplies a micro usb to usb A cable with the amp.  Now is this enough or should I get a good second hand LOD (for iPod listening) and / or optical cable (which would...

    Impact of pending Apple dock change on LODs

    It's in fact putting me off buying a LOD at the moment, or at least a top end one.

    Advice needed on ultimate transportable setup

    Hi.  Have you looked at the 'combo' new Pan Am rig coming out from ALO.  It is transportable though perhaps not quite fully portable (I'm not sure how heavy it is) and has a separate battery pack (to the AMP/DAC) and also has a separate power conditioner for desk-top up.  It's discussed...

    BREAKING NEWS! ALO audio's new portable tube amplifier + DAC!

    Ahhhh - sounds good seeteeyou. The Pan Am has both an external battery (Passport) plus a power conditioner (Gateway) - both optional as far as I know. Watching the video that Alo has put out of the Pan Am it looks nice but not really portable - more transportable but I haven't read any full...

    BREAKING NEWS! ALO audio's new portable tube amplifier + DAC!

    Please be gentle if I appear dumber than I actually am - but of the Pan Am's DAC works for computer sources (this is what Caleb and Josh at ALO said) then it will not work (at least as a DAC) for iPods etc right?  Kinda like the reverse of the Algorythm Solo issue.  Seeteeyou - are you saying...

    BREAKING NEWS! ALO audio's new portable tube amplifier + DAC!

    Have spoken to the ALO team and it seems that the DAC in the Pan Am is for computers rather than iPods etc although the amp will obviously work with both.  There is also a desk-top power conditioner to create a pretty good looking (and I'm sure sounding) threesome.    This has really thrown...

    Leckerton 6s Mk3 OR Alo National

    Hi.  I have a pair of Marty custom woodies with Magnum v4 drivers currently being crafted by Marty and an keen on an amp, and possibly a DAC.  I would like an Alo Continental V2 with the Solo DAC but it's a tad to expensive for me right now.   Should I get a Leckerton 63 MK3 or the Alo...
