What are people's preferences for damping material with the Voce? Just out of curiousity.

I wound up picking up a BHSE and Voce from Headamp at RMAF. Looking forward to listening, I saw mention earlier discussion about tubes and things? Besides Siemens tubes, any other recommendations? Also compared to the stock tubes, what did the Siemen's bring to the table?

I bought a 2014 Audi RS7 last year... most days I drive an 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT or a 2013 Kia Rio

Haven't been around here in a while, but started coming back due to some recent purchases, figured I post an update. Rig has undergone several iterations, right now looking for a new DAC, haven't made any decisions yet. Same original case as probably first posted here many years ago... but the...

So I haven't been active on the forums here for about 6 years, recently got the bug to buy a closed headphone... After building myself a new stereo listening room. Decided after reading a bunch of the forums about the MDR-Z1R, pulled the trigger. Running on a PC > Bifrost (supposed to be my PS...

Ultrasone Edition 10s.

Listening for ones self is believing, unless you know for certain you share the same impressions of everything that the other person does, which I have not seen yet.  Even when people agree on here, they seem to really be in disagreement to some extent.  I like my Bifrost, I don't really feel...

Current owners shouldn't have the USB boards to need the Firmware update.

I don't think anyone has gotten their, USB versions yet.

  Quote: The question last I checked was asked last week, where we were told hopefully next week, since now its next week, I got curious.  

Quote: For the record I have not bothered Schiit during all of this.  I prepaid in full at the pre order.  I've asked once, when it was coming.  

Jason, any better of an idea when the USB units will ship?

Damn, I am like order number 9 and I haven't gotten my tracking info yet.  

Sometimes you can find Sylvanias in that price range, which are very solid tubes.

Thats the thing about these old tubes, sometimes from tube to tube, they get to be in different stages of their lives and they don't always sound the same, but they can still test ok.    The Wuss, I also have the Peak/Volcano, and I love it with the ECC32, as well as the Fivre 6SN7GT...

To be honest, I find the fact that its a good preamp the best part about it, because I don't really feel like spending more money for a another preamp, and well I use it more as a preamp now then a headphone amp, which I don't listen to cans as much as speakers anyways.  Personally, all the gear...

To me I find the Fivre a musical, but well balanced tube.  I am using a McIntosh MC252 as my amplifier, speakers are Dynaudio Focus 110.  This is my Vinyl rig, source is VPI Scout 2.

I've been using my Peak/Volcano as a preamp lately, and I gotta say I still like to use my Mullard ECC32.  Another favorite is the Fivre 6SN7GT.  Maybe I'll pop in my Badboyz and give it a shot sometime soon.

I guess it depends how well he really knows the music he is listening to.  Besides the fact, that we have no idea how long he's been listening to all that gear for, whether or not he has a job or any other commitments in his life (maybe hes got a lot of free time).

Quote: Kevin, my response was in response to Drez's remark, see below I've taken the excerpt of the section with which I had a question.   Quote:  

So, resistance, inductance and capacitance don't actually effect electrical signals?

I actually used UE 18 Pros, Grado RS-2, and AKG 701 before I got on Head-Fi, and I still have them.  They aren't really a secret though, certainly not cheap, but I did spend a lot of time with them.  I don't have the Grados anymore.

Quote: I'm not saying anything either way but the translate function in google tries to do a literal translation, and fact of the matter is the whole read could be taken out of context.  Either way if Ken contracted someone to design and manufacture his amp and they copied it from someone...
