    Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!

    Here’s what my system looks and how it works at the current time:     That’s the view behind me when I’m sitting at my desk downstairs in my former office. The poster on the wall says something like ”One can renounce a lot of things in life, but not cats and literature“.       Apple...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

      Yes, the Asgard 2 is completely quiet. The noise floor of the first generation Lyr is much higher. I can’t talk about the Sennheiser headphones you mention, but the Beyerdynamic T1 sounds wonderful when connected to a Schiit Valhalla. Regardless of the gain setting the Asgard 2 feels a little...

      According to → this article by George Walker Petit the Phonitor 2 seems to sound “better”.   Werner.

    Best desktop amp for Buyer T1 under $100 used

    Are you talking about the Beyerdynamic T1 headphones? I don’t think that you’ll be able to find a matching desktop amplifier within your price range. Bicycle tires are not suitable for cars.   Werner.

    SPL Phonitor Impressions Thread

      That’s true, but the detail resolution, the layering, the perspective and the effortless dynamics of the SPL Phonitor 2 are unmatched by any other headphone amplifier I own. The Schiit Valhalla sounds very fine, at first glance the Schiit Lyr has a lot of power, but sometimes tends to sound a...

    SPL Phonitor Impressions Thread

      Confirmed. I use this combination since August 2014 and I’m very happy with it:   SPL Phonitor 2, serial #: 14.1281.00101 Beyerdynamic T1, serial #: 5902   Werner.

    Just got some Beyerdynamic T1s, question.

    I respectfully disagree. In my opinion and according to my own experience the best match for the Beyerdynamic T1 headphones from this range of Schiit amps are the Valhalla models. They even sound better than the more expensive Lyrs. Werner.

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

      To be honest: not exactly that good. I prefer the Schiit Valhalla or the Lyr (I own only the first generation models of these amps) in combination with these headphones. The Asgard 2 sounds somehow thin and powerless, regardless of the gain setting. In my opinion the best match in this price...

    Yes, it is.

    Best amp for Beyerdynamic T1

    Yes, there is at least one. I don’t know about your budget … I recently added an SPL Phonitor 2 to pair it with the T1. The T1 sounds quite good with the Schiit Lyr and even better with the Valhalla, but the Phonitor certainly is in a superior league. Werner.

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

    I own Lyr and Valhalla (both first generation) amps. The Lyr works pretty well with the Beyerdynamic T1, but for this headphone I prefer the Valhalla. Werner.

    SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP

    My left ear canal is bent slightly different than the right one. I was born with this “hardware defect”. Luckily my hearing didn’t worsen as I reached my current age of 58 years. According to my ear specialist, my right channel is still working at full blown 98 percent ;-) Werner.

    SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP

    You may not believe it, but I can assure you that there are a lot of people in the world which hear different with the right and the left ear. For these folks the “Laterality” knob is a highly appreciated and important feature. Werner.
