I have an original Glow Audio One tube amp, and as far as I know it has the original Chinese tubes.  I think this amp was built around 2009/2010.  I bought the amp used off Craigslist, and I've put probably 1000+ listening hours into.  Lately, the left channel gets the odd crackles and pops...

First off, I'm really enjoying my Xonar STX sound card.  I've been using it with the Headphone Out with various headphones, enjoying myself.  However, I have a technical question. I know the line out or speaker outs have a better SNR rating.  I've recently purchased a Pa2v2 amp, and I'm...

I want to pickup a pair from a local dealer, but for some reason the picture of the AH-D2000's on Denons website, don't look correct.  They seem to resemble the 1000's.  I'm worried I'm going to get him to order them, and I'm going to get the wrong ones.  ...

I'm going to make a poll to see what people are using for music and gaming. I'm currently using an X-fi, but want to upgrade to either an Asus Xonar or Auzen of some type. Now, gaming performance is important, but I've recently found that I like gaming with my Creative console set to 2.0/2.1...

I've read and searched and read some more. There are ALOT of varying amounts of information in regards to the settings one uses while gaming with decent headphones or listening to music from a computer. I recently replaced my PC350's with AD700's and I really like the new Audio Technicas. Now...

I've done a search, but I'm only coming up with 2 skimpy old threads regarding this subject. So, what are some of your favorite songs that demonstrate great soundstage with your headphones? I'm quite enjoying listening to some Pink Floyd with my new AD700's. I'm also listening some Santana right...

Is it a bad idea to use a Tube Amp with low impedance headphones? I currently have a Glow Audio Amp one, and I'm looking at purchasing the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 phones, that I believe only have 38 ohm impedance or so.

Hi guys. I recently got some Sennheiser 595 headphones, and I'm really enjoying them more than I ever thought I would. Now my wallet is going to pay I assume =) I'm mainly listening to music from my PC, flac files. I'm using a berhinger HA400 headphone amp. I would like to upgrade to a tube...
