I have a D2k, SR80i, and K701 and was wondering if it would be a upgrade in sound quality to purchase a Little Dot I+, MK II, III, or IV. I have read that the I+ is good with low ohm headphones and all of mine currently are, but would the I+ be better, worse or about the same as the E9 I...

Someone told me this hradphone amp works nice with Grado Headphones. Is this true?   I own 2 Grado Headphones, An early SR325 & SR80s.   Regards.

I notice now on cattylink they have a bada ph-12se, second edition.   http://www.cattylink.com/page286.html   I used to have a bada ph-12 and it burned out on me. However, that was largely my fault. But still left me a little soured to the bada and I wanted to seek out another amp.  ...

hi guys, i have been reading a lot in this forum but i havent found an exact answer to my problem, with wich i hope you maybe be able to help, im a "new" in the headphone and hi-fi scene, i have some ad700 + x fi elite pro for a while, but even after equalizing i find something missing. i need...

Hello All,   I have done a number of searches to find some information on this amp and how it works with Grado Headphones.  However, the search function on this forum is difficult and after hours of reading various posts and being unable to find an answer, I thought it would be best to get...

I saw another thread on this searching on google, but there weren't any clear answers.  I plan on using it for the denon d2000's.  Also the e9 will be around $15 cheaper through amazon.   Does anyone have experience with both?  What would you recommend?   edit:  also recommend me other...

Hi   I want to add a Behringer HA400 to my setup, and I was wondering what your opinions are on this... This is a 4 Port splitter/amp.   My current setup is; Laptop/Desktop >(usb)> NuForce uDAC >(rca)> Little Dot I+ >(6.5mm)> Headphones   And want to change it to...

I own a pair of RS-1 and want to purchase an amp, I was considering the MAD ear+, but after reading forums it seems that the Little Dot I+ is a popular match for grados.  At around $100 it is very affordable, should I pull the trigger on it or wait to save up for that MAD ear+?  I can't listen...

I always wanted to hear one of the Fostex orthos and I was lucky to find a set for a very reasonable price on ebay. The bidding started at $49.99, so I asked the seller if she'd do a 'buy it now' price and she was kind enough to do so....for $59.99. Could I really resist? Just got them about an...

Don't know if this is a mistake but I was checking to see if they still sell the EF-1 (so I can use it for my SR225i) but they don't sell them anymore. Now the price is now at $400 and it's using a new name (EF-5). It did say on the website that it will be available soon. Head-Direct.com |...

Howdy: This is my first post here, and i am looking for some recommendations for a small tube amp.  I work away from home and would like to get a small, decent tube headphone amp that i can take with me. I recently bought  some Grado RS2i's, but find my portable Decware ZH-1, although...

I'm looking at some entry-level hybrid tube amps.  I'm looking at the hybrids because of the current at low impedences...all of my headphones are 32-55Ohm (XB700, SR225i, US PRO650).  I may scale up the headphone impedence ladder later, but if I do I'll look into higher-level amps at that time...

Just got a pair of SR325is for my aggressive rock preference of music.   I'm currently using a FiiO E7+E9 combo. I always hear that Grados with tubes is a great combo, so I'm looking in that direction.   I'm not quite an expert in the DAC subject area, but if the E7 isn't a terrible...

     Hello all,    Just wanted to ask if anyone is using the Little Dot 1+ Hybrid with the AKG K601's?    I've read a few posts relating to the lower impedance K701 / K702 but no real impressions with the K601.    Thanks,

Hi there     I've bought a pair of SR225 a while ago from a forum member (before that I've had SR80) and I love the Grado sound.  I'm using a PC with a M-audio sound card connected to an old Technics SU V40 integrated amp (for a pair of ordinary Sony speakers) plus a Little Dot I+...

Before I say anything here is my current list of gear:   Sources:   Xfi PCIe optical out to PS Audio DLIII (95%) of my listening Rega 3 TT   Amp:   LD 1+ with 408a tubes   Phones:   Grado 325is     I love my grado's but I was thinking an upgrade would be best seen...

I currently have the RS2's w/ flats but I'm starting to feel that itch of trying out new equipment. Anyone have any experience comparing the RS2 to a D2000? Particularly a D2000 that has been recabled or Markl modded or both?  I'll add that I do quite enjoy the forward grado slam and I'm not...

Hi all;      so after reading a lot about the Little Dot I+ and how it works very well with Grados (I have a pair of SR80i's) and it sounds fantastic. The only problem that I have so far is that it seems to be pretty loud. I'm listening to it right now and the knob is around 10 (out of 100)...

I'm looking for a tube amp for use at my desk at work. It would sit between an i-20, iPhone/iPod Dock, using it's built in DAC, and would drive the IEMs/headphone in my sig. All used with an iPod Touch. That gives you an idea of the quality of the rest of the signal chain, so my question is...

I recently picked up a LD i+ and I was a little concerned about what it does when I power it on. The left tube initially produces a bright glow from the base when turned on. This is only for a second and the glow returns to normal just like the glow in the right tube.  If I have headphones...

I recently picked up a LD i+ to try out with my RS2's and I was really impressed with the synergy between the two. I don't recall the effect being this dramatic when I tried pairing with the D10 Cobra. Apparently proper matching can go a long ways for grado's (at least to my ears)   I've...

I got them today, used and burned-in. A bit dissapointed. I lsiten to losless from an unamped Cowon S9.. Is it  because of that? Can you guys advice towards some amp and DAC? Is Hifiman HM-800 any good? Friday Im getting paid again :)   Bilavideo was right, modding SR80 would get them close...

So I bought a pair of Grado SR225i's a few months back. I listen to music using my Alienware M15x and Foobar2000 on Windows 7.   In Foobar2000 I had two choices for audio devices (besides null or primary). 1) Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC) 2) Independent...

Just re the chinese built/made tube headphone amps are there any out there that are good and would you reccomend a chinese tube headphone amp. Also do most of these use chinese tubes or other brands How about their SQ ?

If you know enough about this headphone to form your own opinion on D2000, this thread is probably not for you. I recently purchased a D2000, and this headpone was very intriguing to me in many ways. I've seen people comparing this to $120 M50 to $500 HD650. I've heard people calling this...
