SONY NW-ZX2
This setup also works instead of double amping from the headphone out. Though I must say that I'm not surprised by by-passing the amp section, it sounded much more laid back and linear compared to playing it directly it out from the headphone out compared from to the ALO's new Rx.- Problem

The all new ALO Rx IEM amp! Now on sale.
Just took ownership of the new Rx about 4 days ago and I must definitely say it's great that ALO has developed a portable amp for IEM use. Previously had the RXMK3B and the noise floor was high enough to make it difficult to fully enjoy. Using the Rx on my current CIEMs, the CT500 and UE18...- Problem

Clear Tune Monitors CT-500 Elite Review Thread
Firstly, congratulations on a new brand new set of CIEMs. For the insertion it varies from manufacturers from my understanding as I've seen some brands like Noble & Spiral Ears going pretty deep jelt2359 's piece. For me I might be sending back to CTM for a refit as the right piece appears...- Problem

Clear Tune Monitors CT-500 Elite Review Thread
Just took ownership of a new CT500 couple days ago and must definitely say the sound as I remembered while demoing them were simply fantastic and with the custom version, it still holds true to what I remembered which was great imaging and soundstaging while retaining having a fairly natural...- Problem

Clear Tune Monitors CT-500 Elite Review Thread
Sad to admit but I was convinced by Sentinel92 to give the CT500 a try couple of months and much to my surprise, the sound quality the CT500 is presenting is astonishing. Wasn't entirely impressed the CT6E unfortunately as the mids sounded recessed in the lower mids and slightly mid forwards...- Problem

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
Posted previously sometime back, the 274B while it may work and even get music playing. According to Donald the 274B is not a good match from an electrical spec perspective. Also sometime back in this thread, Donald does not recommend using indirect heated rectifiers as they're built...- Problem

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
It's a pity as I actually enjoyed it previously, though I figured my Sophia 274B is about to give way which could have contributed it causing the fuse to blew.- Problem

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
Had the same problem with my Stratus after my Sophia 274B rectifier gave way and blew my fuse, TWICE. Donald was responsive even as he responded late at night in the US which I really though I give a thumbs up for. Not sure if this is any relevant for Stratus owners out there but Donald did...- Problem

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
Just got myself from a local seller who happened to have a spare GEC U52 tube though he informed me it was a haltron rebranded tube. So far it sounds exactly like how DG mentioned in her 5U4G thread, grain free and great soundstaging capability especially when using Sophia's 2A3. Next...- Problem

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
On orthos I found the 6FD7 to pair nicely with orthodynamics headphones, the 6GL7 I had were somewhat microphonic, so I actually stopped bothering about them. 6DR7 sounded abit lean without character. Not exactly a good driver tube to my experience. RCA (Skinny bottle) / Raytheon 6EW7...- Problem

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
It's pretty much a hit and miss for the 596 on fleaBay, about 13 months I bought 2 USAF 596 from the same seller at about $115 each and recently sold my last 596 at about the same price but including shipping worldwide. The prices do vary quite abit but I've seen some in the FS threads which...- Problem

Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice
Given the price of the EML rectifiers, you can get a nice mighty 596 with adapters at a lower cost. That was the route I went when I had my WA6-SE anyway and it paired nicely with 6FD7 tubes with most headphones in the market.- Problem

DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions
Been trying this setup the last couple of days, Sophia 274B + 2A3 and cyroset 6N1P. The results have been good as the setup seems to portray warm and lush sounding on the HD800 though it seems to lack the bass punch. Not sure if it is me but the NOS RCA 5U4G with Sophia 2A3 does not sound so...- Problem

PC -> Grace Design m903 -> Van Den Hul "The Name" RCA Interconnect -> Stratus -> HD800 (DHC Molecule) I'm surprised how loud the Stratus can go at, with the volume knob at 0, it gets pretty loud even at 1- Problem
