    SPL Auditor vs B22 for T1

    I really enjoy my 3-channel B22 with the T1. The problem is my girlfriend doesn't appreciate the presence of the 2 chassis B22 in our bedroom ! I've read that the Auditor is a great match for the T1 so I was thinking it could replace my B22. Has anyone compared both amps with the T1.   Thank...

    Cheap OTL amp for T1 - Valhalla ? WA3 ? Audiotailor Jade ?

    I'm selling my LittleDot MKVI+ since I almost exclusively use my B22. I know I will miss the sound of tubes so I'd like to get a cheap (used) OTL amp that I could use once in a while with my T1 and HD650. I want to spend 250 $ - 350 $. Any recommandations ? Valhalla ? WA3 ? Audiotailor Jade ? LD...

    B22 or WA22 for T1

    I currently use my T1 with the WA2 and I'm very pleased so far by this combo. The WA2 is really the best amp I've tried with the T1 (along with the LD MKVI+). I was wondering if a B22 or a WA22 would be a big upgrade vs the WA2. Anyone wants to share their impression of the T1+B22/WA22 combo ...

    Stupid question : Is it possible to use LCD-2 or HE-6 in bed ?

    Yep, stupid question but really important for me : is it possible to use the LCD-2 or HE-6 while lying on your back in bed ? I know I have no problem wearing listening to my T1 in bed but it was almost impossible with the AKG701 because they are too big. I'm really interested by the LCD-2, HE-6...

    T1 + SS amp ? Any good match ?

    I really like my T1 paired with tube amps (Little Dot MKVI+ and Mapletree Ear+HD). But I think that deep down inside, I'm a SS guy (for convenience) ! Is there any SS amp that can drive the T1 with the same "umphhhh" than tubes ? I tried the Phoenix and I think it's a very boring combo. I have a...

    MAD Ear+HD vs Decware CSP2

    Anyone ever had the chance to compare these amps ? I really like my Ear+HD but I've read great things about the CSP2 and the "synergy" with the T1.    Any impressions ?

    Which amp should I get : WA6 - Mapletree Ear+HD - Decware Zen Select CSP-2

    I decided to sell my stereo gear so I have some money to spend on a second amp (tube). I already have an SS amp that I really like (Goldpoint HP Pro) but I'd like to get a tube amp also. My headphones are : Beyerdynamic DT990 (600 ohm) - AKG K 701 (selling them soon) - Senn HD600 - Grado HF-2...

    Tough decision ... I wish I was rich !

    I have a tough decision to make. In the last 2 months I bought 4 headphones, a new amp (Goldpoint) and a house (!) so my wallet is starting to hurt. I need to sell some headphones but I can't decide which one ! I have HD600, AKG 701, Beyer DT990 (600 ohm) and HF-2 coming soon. At first I really...

    Goldpoint HP Pro vs Burson HA-160

    Anyone compared these amps ? Not to many reviews here on HF so I'm a bit hesitant to buy. I can't decide which one to get for my HD 600. Any comments ?

    Good SS amp for HD600

    I'm looking for a good SS amp for my HD600 (no tubes for me). I already have a Shanling PH100 which is great formy AKG 701 but just ok for the HD600. I'm looking for something under 700 $. PRAT is really important for me (I'm used to Naim gear) and I'd like to lose a bit of the HD600 veil...

    New headphone amp or a DAC ?

    Hi guys, I'd like to get your advices. I have a Little Dot II (not ++) with HD 600. My source is a Squeezebox Duet. I was wondering if it would be better to invest in another amp or to buy a DAC. I have a DacMagic in my stereo setup (with a SB + Naim Nait 5i) and I tried it with the Duet and...

    HD 595 : Stereo receiver or headphone amp

    Hi, I'm new to this forum. I just bought a pair of Senn HD 595 that I use with a Cowon D2 (flac). I was planning to buy either a cheap stereo receiver (Yamaha RX-397) with a CD player or a full size headphone amp (I already have a PA2V2). My budget is 250 $. Would I see a big improvement over...
