Hi all,   I have an LD MKIII and I have had the stock tubes in for over a year and want to change them to get more clarity and detail through the mid-high ranges, and deeper and tighter bass.   I only listen to female vocalists such as Mariah Carey, Eva Cassidy etc so I am looking for...

Hi All,   I’ve tried to find some answers to this query and all I find myself doing is going through 100’s of pages of tube rolling!!!   I need some definitive answers – LD MKIII/ LD MKIV as a pre amp – anybody using either as a pre amp??   How good is the pre amp? Is it articulate...

Hello all,   Maybe this is a repeated thread - i'm not sure... the fact that i couldnt find the thread probably means its not a popular thread so here goes..   I guess this comes under tweaks.   Where in the UK can you get all these Mods such as woodies etc done on Grado HP and also...

I am now a head fier!!!!!   Its like having a promotion at work yeah sickk!  

After having my grado sr80i's for a week or two just with an ipod a few weeks back i was strongly adviced NOT to buy an amp for them as they are 32 ohms and they take nothing to drive...   Many people assume the difference between sr80i amped and unamped is neglible - maybe in the grand...

Word on the street is Audiolab are bringing out a new DAC..   The Audiolab 8200CD known as the cd + DAC is supposed to have an amazing DAC for value..   The new separate DAC which is built upon and apparantly a distance beyond the amazing DAC used in the 8200CD is supposed to be far...

I thought i'd share the good news if anybody else wants to share it with me!!   As the title suggests ive upgraded from my old school set up of technics SLPG49 CDP>vintage Marantz 1072 to 8000CDE> LDMKIII>>Sr80i     I should hear some drastic changes and I am too excited!!   any...

As the title suggests... i feel a debate coming along,,   Im interested in buying a Audiolab 8000CDE as can be seen below   http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1451&md=a0a9fe617d88495dd3a5df9302dbd32e   But im in a dilema because i might want to get an Arcam...

Hi there,   As the title suggests,   To not be so confusing, let me put it as simple as possible.   I wanted to check whether my cd player on laptop with my new foobar and wasapi is better than my 12 year old technics cd player at playing the same cd in SQ terms. i want to play the...

As the title suggests i'm confused.   LOD - line out dock from ipod > amp usually   but i dont have an amp   I want to listen to my music Via LOD but cannot seem to connect the HF jack pin to the male pin of ipod dock.   Is there a converter in the middle? Or can an LOD only be...

Do tubes like the maverick A1, littledot2/3 or Caliente can soften this brightness on Grado's? Is this a good thing or not? Personal preference?   Does the warmth of tube detract from the grado signiture sound in a +tive way? Good balances acheived?   People who have one of the above...

I want to understand the difference between tube amps and other amps that have no tubes, like desktop amps? I'm a newb so i'm unsure about it and its all new to me. I used grado sr80i on lossless.   http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=815 - does any body own this Little dott...

I am struggling to understand Cmoy amps. Which headphones in particular would you hear a benifit?? What benefits would you hear? Are there people that can make the Cmoy for me? Can it be made specific for sr80i's? What are the pro's and con's of Cmoy amps? Is it a budget amp that doesnt acheive...

Newbie here - so i'm going to speak in a lingo that is pretty basic and I've read up on most similar threads to this and I have had no conclusive answers. I have decided to splash out on some headphones as I have realised I am an audiophile in the making and will go through the inevitable...
