That is very very true haha. I had my girlfriend listen to my HD800's in the past and she practically had no reaction aside from gawking at all the equipment needed. I let her use the Bathys last night hooked up to her phone and her music and her session lasted more than an hour and she ended...

Coming from HD800 driven by La Figaro 339...which to me is my somewhat end-state as I don't want to tempt myself with anything beyond that. Picked up the Bathys for ~900 CAD and my god are these wonderful for the portability, price, and sq you get. They are obviously different than my HD800...

Hi Everyone, I've been using the Opus for quite a while and had previously reported an issue with changing songs where i would encounter an error (usually with FLAC) songs. Recall some speculated that it was due to the ID tags but i found that if you attempt to change songs right when the song...

How is your setup in your car? Always pondered about putting some kind of DAP in my car but would probably be through aux cable.

I've always been a fan of HiFiman gear from the very beginning since the HM601 days and would love an opportunity to own TOTL gear. I am not yet financially capable enough to purchase TOTL HiFiman gear so winning this would be super duper awesome.

Same. Have mine set around 8-9 o'clock position. Putting it at 2-3 o'clock i fear i may never be able to hear again.

  Thanks for this.   Will try updating the tags to see what happens.

Not related to the recent update but does anyone get an error message when switching between FLAC songs? "Audioplayer has stopped working" After the message, line-out will be turned off until i turn it back on and play the next song.   Seems to happen randomly when i have line-out to an...

Just updated mine and agree with the consensus.   Mids have more body, smoother, and more in the face.   Bass is also cleaner.

Will be a lesson learned =)

  I let the amp warm up for about 30 minutes before plugging in headphones and turning volume up.   Looks like might be DOA but i'll give it another shot tonight just to be sure.

So i ended up buying these tubes,   http://www.ebay.com/itm/401284026834?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT   Received them yesterday and when i plugged them in i don't think they're working very well if at all. There's static when i adjust the volume and sound is...

Found these on eBay, are they similar to what you have?   http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Matched-Pair-RCA-USA-5693-Hi-Fi-6SJ7-Metal-Vacuum-Tubes-100-/122358504246?hash=item1c7d229b36:g:FPgAAOSwcLxYLzOU 

  Agreed they sound absolutely wonderful =D.   Was hoping to find another set as a spare just in case anything should happen to the Chatham 2399's.

  RCA Radiotron and JAN 6080.    So far my favourite combination has been the RCA Radiotron and Chatham 2399. Also have the Mullard's i've yet to try...saving the best for last =) Very much new to tube rolling but enjoying every bit of it!    Any suggestions on where i might find a pair...
