    Tube Headphone Amp Newbie Thread (Questions On Tube Amps)

    Thank you both for the responses. The amp I was looking at is the Bravo Audio Ocean. It is $130, but it is "Class A" And most reviews say it sounds really nice and has a good gain. It also has a SNR of over 90db, has frequency capabilities of 10hz to 60khz, and can support headphones from 20ohms...

    Tube Headphone Amp Newbie Thread (Questions On Tube Amps)

    Hey Head-Fi, lately I've been getting into the world of tube headphone amplifiers, and I have a few basic questions I can't find a straight answer for.   If I buy a $100 tube amp that has a single small tube, will I be able to take out the tube and swap it for a better higher quality one? If...

    Tritton/Madcatz 5.1 Black Ops Headset - PC vs 360/PS3?

    Hey there! I am searching for a good genuine 5.1 surround sound headphone, that supports optical (TOSLINK) from my motherboard. Now I know I could get the regular PC version of the Tritton 5.1 Call of Duty Black Ops headset, however, motherboard audio never sounds that great, so I was thinking...

    Best headphones for Electro-Ambiance and Electro-Drone? - I.e. Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, 36, EUS.

    Yes, I just recently discovered that also the HD650 is a very smooth and warm headphone, and is ideal for relaxed and casual listening, it is not good at all for precision, detail, and neutral-ness.   However, I have narrowed down my search of the perfect headphone to four decisions;    ...

    Best headphones for Electro-Ambiance and Electro-Drone? - I.e. Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, 36, EUS.

    Well as again, thank you for the info on impedance, however I'm looking for headphones that do well with certain genres, not how well a certain headphones goes with an amp. As I know I will get an ST or an STX no matter what, and just because I have that extra power for headphones doesn't mean I...

    Okay, thanks for the info on the impedance, but that still doesn't answer my question. Why the beyerdynamics over the Audio-Technica besides price point? Does the beyerdynamics excel in ambiance music?   Again, thanks for the response.

    Best headphones for Electro-Ambiance and Electro-Drone? - I.e. Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, 36, EUS.

    It's only cheaper by about $30, and the ST does perform a bit better than the STX.   And why are those headphones better than an ATH AD 900, or an AD1000? Does it sounds clearer? Does it have a larger soundstage? How does it compare? But thank you for the response
