Hi, this is my first experience with tubes and I`m feeling a little lost.   Looking for some tubes to upgrade the stock ones. Current setup Lyr2 + Audeze LCD2   I see these are recommended under $100: '60s Amperex 6DJ8 "Orange Globes" '70s Voskhod 6n23p "Rockets" National Matsush!ta...

I spent some additional time with the Concero HD yesterday. NAD M51 is my benchmark, the best I've personally heard and spent time on. It probably is an unfair comparison since the NAD is more than 2x the $$$.   PROS Resolution and detail retrieval are superb. Bass is very tight, and...

Got my Concero HD yesterday. Listening with Audeze LCD2 v2 + Violectric V200 Also trying with and without AQVOX USB power supply to find out if it makes a difference.   Never heard the original Concero, so can't help with that comparo.   First, preliminary impressions: Accurate...

My concero HD is arriving tomorrow.  Will post impressions as soon as it gets here.

Has anyone compared the Oyaide DR-510 to the Black Cat Silverstar 75?

Ordered a Concero HD last night! Will post impressions as soon as it gets here.   What <$200 SPDIF cable do you recommend pairing with it? Are Black Cat Silverstar 75 or Oyaide DR-510 good options? Any other recommendations?   I'm planning to use it both as a DAC feeding a Violectric...

According to Jason from Schiiit:   What you can look forward to:  1. A line of 3 DACs, the first to be announced in June as the highest-value product like Asgard was announced last June. We'll also give at least a brief roadmap of what's coming so people can know if they want to wait or...

Hi judmarc, I think the photos you are mentioning belong to this 6moons article.   http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/schiit/4.html   Hope this helps.   Santiago

I'm particularly interested in the upcoming statement DAC. If it sounds on par or better than a W4S DAC2 for around $1,000, AND is upgradable I will definitely order one. Are there any clues regarding the "statement headphone/2 channel product"?

Hi, guys Do you know where can I listen and purchase an LCD2 in San Diego, California? I'm going there next weekend. Thanks!

Thanks for your help, sluker and blur510. Is there a particular brand or model of vintage receivers/int.amps that is known to work best with headphones?

Hi, need some advice from experienced users. Do you think a very good 70's receiver or integrated amp is capable of matching or besting a $500-$1,000 desktop headphone amp such as Violectric V200, driving Audeze LCD2 headphones? Those VU meters drive me crazy, but ultimately I will choose...

Hi, first post here! Been following this thread with close attention, considering the exact same equipment you now have WarriorAnt (W4S DAC2 - V200 - LCD2). It will be my first headphone setup too, coming from a Parasound Classic + Paradigm Signature S2 v3 + Rhytmik sub setup. Looking...
