Just got a pair of Mr Speaker Either Flows which are a low impedance Planar  type but probably not as power hungry as the HE-6. No problem driving them in fact they are quite a magical combination better than the HE 6 combination I heard a little while ago at a show.. Also  the Auralic is easy...

Just Purchased a pair of Ether Flow's from Audio Sanctuary in the UK ( Thanks Phil for the demo)  As I burn them in using a more standard Head amp and SE adaptor.( Musical Fidelity MX-HPA )The difference between Balanced and single ended is quite marked. Don't Think I would have gone with them...

Yes Have both and driven them to their best ( i think ) with the Mjolnir 2. However my Auralic Taurus 2 with balanced Grado PS1000e and flat pads are a better SQ by quite a long way if you like rock music.So if thats what you want think about it. Just waiting for a balanced cable for my Gen2...

Picked up a set of new pads from the Meze distributor at the Indugence HiFi show London on Friday. My early view is they are a more comfortable version of the original pads but do not alter to any great extent the original headphone listening experience. I have tried other aftermath pads but...

New member to the AURALiC Club with a Tauras Mk2 Headphone Amp.   Just getting to grips with what Headphone connections work better as either  Balanced or single ended. ( IMHO)   So far    PS1000      SE    LCD -XC    SE   HD 800     BAL   AT W5000  BAL but only have that option...

Just fitted a set of the same pads and have exactly the same comments as you . I have fitted over earcups until I find some suitable inner ear foam filters as treble is a little bright on some music. But so much more comfortable to wear and music quality is really not diminished significantly in...

Thanks for info. My amps use a 6922 /ECC88 set as the buffer stage so not so easy to get as manufactured by Tung-sol it would seem.

I have Reflector Nos Tubes from the 70's tubes in my  2 tube amps currently. While they were not the most sweetest. They are really smooth and reliable with a good open characteristic throughout the audio range. I found my  particular Mullard CV2492's became quite Microphonic over time. Never...

  I find the Meze 99 like the tube amps in my collection. Currently using them out of my Modified MF Xcan V3 during break in as it smooths out some treble break in issues. My T1's seem to like a Balanced Headphone amp the best. The SPL Auditor works really well with them.   Headphone amps...

    I got mine from a UK seller on EBay new stock. Sound great for a £250 headphone and can't say a bad thing against them. Bass lines are really solid and Mid/Treble sounds really open for a closed design.They are by far the cheapest Headphone I have but really don't notice that when put up...

Thanks for the Info. The Tubes are already burnt in from previous use in my older amps, so should be fully good to go.  Yes Caps and other components have a time to bed in so will be putting some hours in with the Amp over the next few weeks.  I have noticed that a lot of the midrange hardness...

Yes the midrange is very textured and detailed . The Mullard variety more so than the Brimar Ediswan manufacture (which I have a set somewhere as well!!) but also more "sweet" in its  tonality. They are quite Microphonic though but you can't have everything LOL. I will stick with them for a bit...

Thanks for reply unfortunately my main system is not equipped with EQ facilities.The digital files are stored on a hard disk which is connected directly via usb to the streamer and then via a DAC to the Amp and then Amp to MJ2. I will give it a few more bursts over the next few days and see if...

Just Burning in my MJ2 since Friday but only part time.  I've changed stock tubes initially for Russian spec 70's 6N23P and then Mullard CV2492  from the 60's. Its a fantastically detailed amp with amazing dynamics and great bass impact but the mid band is still quite aggressive with my...

Recently Purchased a pair of LCD-XC's and am really liking Toxic cable SPC with Copper return cable modified from Hifi Man He 500's. Big upgrade in all frequencies from stock cable and much clearer open presentation as well. Not bad for cost of 2 Mini xlr plugs as I had cable already.
