Hello all, greetings from lovely uptown Emmaus, Pennsylvania!

My most recent audio equipment purchase (last week) was a Sablon Audio Gran Corona Power Cord… which I never imagined could possibly make such a huge difference in quality of sound

Hi all. On-again, off-again guy who had an account when Jude was the main Mod and responded personally to everything, circa 2004. Old account is locked up, so starting fresh.

Currently getting a skeleton rig together, but have Grado 80's, Massdrop 6xx, Schiit Hel2E and Modius for listening through Apple subscription. Also either putting together/refurbishing my old Carver C-4000/M-1.0T rig, or getting into Schiit Kara, and Vidar. Will also rehab my original Polk 10B's for when the furniture needs to vibrate 2 houses down...

Looking forward to any local meets too. Nice to be back.

First post here too after lurking in the background and enjoying all the advice on the forums.

My main hifi setup is Hegel based (H390) with Icon Audio (HP8 MKII Signature) providing the headphone amplification. Primary cans are HD800S. So not state of the art but not terrible either. I’m certainly pleased with the performance it provides.

Now, apparently I’m a bone fide Schiithead having finally managed to secure a Schiit stack for the bedroom. Intention was to have a bit of the main system performance in a convenient miniature package.

The newly acquired Schiit stack comprises Modi2 MB, Loki Mini+, Vali2++. Streaming is via a rpi4 runnings lms 8.1 with Squeezelite on the same box. I picked up a pair of HD650 from ebay as I like the Senn sound and swapping the 800’s between rooms was a bit of a pain. Current tube on the Vali is stock and having fun reading all of the suggested alternatives here.

I guess my key point to all of the above ramblings is - flippin ‘eck the Schiit stack is good. I’m extremely impressed with the audio performance from the little boxes. Performance per pound (dollar?) is exceptional. The price of the stack, cables, little biddy rack and hd650’s combined is about the same as I spent on the phono cartridge on my turntable. LMS plus plugins means I can stream the same Qobus playlists to the Schiitstack as I can to the main rig... all controlled by an app on my mobile.

No doubt I’ll need to scratch the tube rolling itch at some point but for now I’m just enjoying the music.

Ade.

Ok, so tube rolling itch lasted about a week.

Picked up an untested and unused (allegedly) JAN 5670W valve on ebay for £5

Thought it was worth a gamble for that sort of money and wanted a backup for the (very good sounding) stock tube.

Well, turned up quick, well wrapped and works a treat. Does it sound better than the stock tube? Can't tell yet but certainly no worse so I'm happy.

Hello, I am a new fan. I am browsing for new earbuds to use the next at least next 3 years.
I have had kz zsx. I love the vividness and excitement of the sound. However, on some songs kz zsx was a bit sharp and tiring.I am looking for new earbuds that have a similar or better audio graph than kz zsx.
My criteria are:
* wired
*with mic
*without heavy bass - maybe V shaped sound (not so sure)
*budget up to 200 - 250 usd
