So I took Darqnez advice last month and had my 5700 recapped, for it was going in anyways to get its broken volume knob replaced (my fault). I would agree with the generally consensus around here that it does seem to "lift the veil". What I found to be different, specifically, was the bass seem...

Westermac,   Awesome to hear that the 600s pair well. I think I've decided to go ahead and get a pair of them or the 650 (whichever I find has the better deal). I love my 240s still, but after 2 years, I feel it's time to add to the collection. I really do appreciate your feedback mate. Few...

8/11/2014   Thought I would give a quick update on how things are going. The 5700 is still running strong, but the right side meter needs rest/fixed. Had a friend fall and they stuck out there had to brace and ended up smacking the Kenwood pretty hard. Runs fine and sounds fine, but the little...

Seeing as how this thread has gotten some recent attention, I thought it best to give a quick update on how my 5700 has been doing:   The sound is just as good as when I got it. Still very warm while providing excellent detail. I have also been able to use my RTi-A3's with it now, and those...

Hey all,   Picked myself up a Kenwood KS-5700 today and just thought i'd give my opinion on it incase any of you might be thinking about getting one yourself. First of all, i do not use it just to power my AKG AK240s, i have a pair of Polk Rti A3s on the way which will be the main thing the...

Quote: I wish 10W was enough but I'm trying to power my Polk RTi10s, which is why i bought the 1640    I forgot all about the Little Dot amps. I think i might get the Little Dot III. I've heard good things about them and thier prices seem to be pretty good. $500 for an amp which only...

Hey All,   So i recently acquired myself a Heathkit 1640 power amp which i'm going to use to pump beautiful sound into my new polk RTi10s once it gets restored. Seeing as how i'm a headphone guy as well as a stereo guy, i'd figure i might be able to kill 2 birds with one stone.   I was...

Hey guys,   So i just got my Modi form Schiit today, went to plug it into my Macbook Pro, and nothing. The little LED light on the Modi is on, but it seems as if my computer does not recognize it. If anyone has run into this problem before and resolved it, let me know! I've emailed Schiit in...

Ok, so I think I've got it down to this:   DAC: Modi Amp: Valhalla/Asgard 2  Headphone: HD 598/HD 600   My question which remains is which one will sound better with these amps. I've read that the 598s have a bigger sound stage, which i really like, but will these amps be overkill...

thanks! I've actually been doing a lot of research lately and have found that a lot of people really like the Schiit Valhalla. It looks to be a great tube amp for the price. I have a few questions for those who know: Does it work well with the Modi DAC? I want to save some money if i can on the...

Thanks ender! I like the combo. Do you know of any tube amps though in the same price range? Or does it make much of a difference? I've always been more partial to go tubes.

Also, if there is another topic which deal with this exact situation or answers my questions, please link me to it
