I just scored a deal on an LG V30, which thankfully has a headphone jack and QuadDAC; but I'll say I'm still interested in the Bluewave GET. The V30 will be the largest phone I've owned to date. It's not always practical to have a big ass phone in your pocket wired to your cans, regardless of...

ha yeah this tread seems dead. I just happened upon this part number which was slightly different from ATH-CKS99 on their US website. So these are titanium vs. plastic. Hard to find these titanium versions, I grabbed them shipping from Hong Kong, hopefully genuine, from a reputable seller I've...

Thanks Oskari. Yea Kramer there's a lot to learn on this stuff. It took me fours months of lurking to make a purchase decision, just scratching the surface on this stuff.

I see now in the MFR description they state 8100/CV4010 are supplied; thanks for the clarification on the two. Would be nice to know tube maker, but more curious if those black marks indicate prior use. I bought some NOS GE tubes from 1985 that are all silver on top. I read that white on top...

I bought a LD MK IV se from an ebay seller in China. Feedback looked good and he was selling many models from Little Dot so I figured he was authorized. Everything looked okay, however I did notice the driver tube tops were not all silver like the power tubes.   I pulled the power tubes and...

Plenty of sound to listen out for in that Primus tune, nice. Good to know about the tubes being boxed uninstalled. Yep I plan to grab a couple tube sets. Thanks

This thread is amazing, 2+ years old and still going!   I set out first week in December to buy my first set of high end phones, and grabbed a pair of Beyer DT990 600 ohm for Christmas. I also  ordered a Bravo Ocean tube amp from China. After realizing I bought too little amp, I came back to...

I've been researching tube amps for a couple weeks and am minutes away from pulling the trigger on a Little Dot MK IV.   I thought I'd better research the tubes real quick to determine availability and replacement cost. A quick Google search and BAM! here's this thread.   Amazing job OP...

Have admired DT 990 Premium's grills for more than a year, and dig the thought of the tube amp on my desktop. I grabbed them today for $249 and $169. I'm pretty stoked!

I bought some Senn HD 280's two years ago for quiet gaming. I remember being confused and intrigued by all the criteria in choosing a set of headphones! I've been researching for six months to pick an upgrade for gaming and occasional movie/music use. So many considerations, open/closed, amped...
