What are you using with your Fiio M11/M11 Pro?
I'm using a set of Audio Technica MSR7b, which I really love. Amazing sounding closed back headphones with strong treble and extreme detail that seems to go well with the M11P. They just get better and better with burn in, as the bass becomes stronger and more detailed and the overall...- TubeStack

Using RCA splitters from phono amp into a tube preamp & hybrid headphone amp
I would like to use RCA splitters to connect my Musical Fidelity V-LPS phono amp to both a Little Dot MK III and a Little Dot MK1+. The MK III is being used as a preamp in my living room stereo, the MK 1+ would be a headphone amp for my Grado 325is. (I wouldn't be using both at the same time, of...- TubeStack

Life of power/driver tubes questions
Hey there, A few questions about tube life & my LD MK III amp (also posted in amp forum): - any idea on the length of the power tubes' life? (The previous owner said they'd put about 200-250hrs on them, I've probably put about another 120hrs, at least) - what about driver tube life? I'm...- TubeStack

Portable amp with separate L/R gain control?
Hey there - Anyone know of any portable headphone amps that have separate Left and Right gain controls, other than a PA2V2? I've got a PA2V2 and really like how it gives me individual control over the volume of each channel, as it helps me balance out the soundstage (right ear's hearing is...- TubeStack

Will a tube amp work with Denon D2000s?
Hey folks - I've been eyeing-up some Denon D2000s as a possible upgrade from my Beyer DT770 Pros (250). I've been reading contradictory statements as to whether or not the D2000s will be a good match with a tube amp. I LOVE tubes and definitely need some cans that are tube friendly and...- TubeStack

Best upgrade from DT770 Pro (w/ LD MKIII amp?)
I'm loving my Beyer DT770 Pro (250) cans right now, just having a blast with them. Looking toward the future - what would the best next-step cans be, that would be similar to these? I love the Beyers' bass, general sound signature, comfy ear pads, and general look/feel. If there was a...- TubeStack

How to change LED light on LD MK III?
How hard would it be for a completely DIY-challenged person to change the LED light on an LD MK III? Reason I ask is, I've got an LD II++ already, and one of the things I love about it is the warm orange/amber light that matches the glowing colour of the tubes. However, I've got an LD MK...- TubeStack

Little Dot II++ as preamp vs Aric Audio Stereo Tube Preamp 2.5?
I don't know anything about the tech side of tubes. I just know that I love the sound of them. I've been experimenting with using my Little Dot II++ as a preamp, running it into my integrated receiver's 'main amp in' jacks, and I absolutely LOVE the sound of it. However, it's a pain to lug...- TubeStack

Using Little Dot II++ as a preamp into 'main amp in' on integrated reciever - no subwoofer sound?
(I think that's the longest thread title I've ever written... ) I'm experimenting with using my Little Dot II++ as a preamp, running it into the 'main amp in' jack on my Harmon Kardon 3390 receiver. However, when I do this, I get absolutely no sound from my subwoofer (it works fine...- TubeStack

I'm currently looking for something to place between my iPod Classic and my home stereo receiver to help warm up the sound, ideally giving it a bit of that ol' tube magic.

How loud can you push an integrated receiver and maintain SQ??
I just Mp3gained my entire music library at the suggested 89 db and I'm finding that to play Metallica, AC/DC, etc, as it should be played (ie LOUD), I now have to completely crank my systems nearly to max (both home stereo and iPod/headphone-amp setup). Having the stereo receiver, or...- TubeStack
