Hey all, It's been a while since I've been in a main thread or started a main thread, but I've been very active with PM's for quite a while and I'm always around daily still. Feel free to continue to PM me everyone. Always a pleasure.   I recently came across an opportunity to play around...

Hey folks,   Looking for some advice/help on a Little Dot II. The old one. Not even a pre-amp. Uses old tubes that you cannot even get from Little Dot anymore. But I found some extra tubes on ebay so that I could at least use the amp for another decade if the thing stays alive. I got it for...

Heya,   So there's never much audio action it seems in Florida, especially North/Central Florida. I'm looking to setup a mini-meet with some other people interested in just having a fun day of audio.       I'm located in Gainesville. I'm willing to drive any where that is roughly...

Heya,   So I'm finding more and more I just like darker signatures. Treble rolled off a touch, and some warmth is always good for me. Looking to get a list of amplifiers that I can start looking for and trying out to see which one has the best synergy with a few headphones that I use the...

Heya,   So if you have been under a rock lately or just not discovering new music, and you're looking for something new, refreshing, yet still classical, really audiophile worthy, that is also deliciously pop; then I definitely suggest you look into The Piano Guys. I found them on YouTube...

Heya, Acquired all equipment; links to jump through entire thread listed below. Links to jump ahead (will be added as they occur): Custom cable commissioned via BTG Audio for Hifiman HE series. *See speaker taps or banana plugs. Universal adapter for use with any XLR balanced cable to...

Beyer Dynamic T70 Barely a Beyer? Beyer Dynamic discontinued the older premium DT770, although it’s still available here and there, but they’ve kept their PRO series DT770’s available and their MX series headsets which are essentially the same thing, and then release the T70 which looks just...

Heya,     Review of the Q40 finally in place since it's been talked about quite a bit recently, full of photos and comparisons:   Head-Fi Review of the M-Audio Studiophile Q40     Any questions or information I can include, add, or edit would be appreciated and of course...

Heya,   So I'm pretty dumb here as I can't seem to figure this out, so I'm needing some help.   I'd like to see simply how one can calculate the 6 watt rated power output into 32ohms that the Schiit Lyr advertises based on whatever specs they have listed on their website. My...

Hey guys,   Looking for something like the Lyr for my HE-500, but solid state. Any ideas? No real budget. Just getting an idea of what's out there. Would like to find something that can push more than 1watt, something more in the range of 3~5 watts even. The Lyr was doing that, but I'm more...

Heya,   So I have a sub downstairs and oddly enough it just stopped working. It's a polk audio PSW505 12". It has not been dropped or anything. It just suddenly went poof. I tried it on two different receivers just to make sure it wasn't that. Still no dice. I changed cables. No dice. I...

Hey guys, I recently got interested in vinyl. Right away, just to note, I'm not interested in dropping a grand into a turn table. I simply have some questions, because frankly, vinyl just may not be for me. But maybe I'm just not doing things right or had different expectations. Basically, I...

Hey guys,   I just picked up SuperHeavy.   I'm ... impressed.   Anyone else have thoughts on this album?   Very best,

Heya,   I'd like to get ahold of some Beats Pro. Not the Studios, and not the HD, nor the base pairs. Specifically the Pro's which are supposed to be the better of the line up. I'm not interested in actually buying them since I don't actually like how they look at all. But I'd love to test...

Heya,   So I picked up some 325 goldies. But I'm concerned about them. They terminate into a 3.5mm jack (which says Grado on the side of the plug). Has a gold 1/4th adapter. I thought they were supposed to terminate into 1/4"? Both the past 325 and new 325 terminuate to 1/4". The drivers...

Heya,     I was wondering if there's anyone out there with headphones, or simply interest, in the North/Central Florida areas that would like to get together some time for a headphone party essentially. Looking at areas like Jacksonville, Lake City, Ocala, St Augustine, Gainesville...

Heya,   For clarity: CLOSED BACK HEADPHONES ONLY.   I need some help here. I'm trying to find a new portable headphone that really suits me. But my criteria are problematic. The biggest one, is that I want velour pads. I don't mind if that means modding a headphone to have velour pads...

Hey,   I just wanted to put this out there since it always comes up, even on Schiit's website, that the Lyr may damage headphones because of it's power output.   I attached a few different headphones to the Lyr that were low impedance and very sensitive. I tested both by starting at...

Custom Red Oak Headphone Stands (for $10 a piece!)   Heya,   So I've been wanting to build headphone stands, a bunch of them, for my collection. So I wanted to get like 6+ to hold headphones that I use the most often (since many of my headphones simply collect dust and aren't worth...

Heya,   So I'm looking for a portable headphone that is full size, because I only roll full sized. Basically, I'm looking for a closed headphone that has the sound stage of something like the HFI 580 (or any Ultrasone with S-Logic/Plus), but has the 180 degree swivel of the AudioTechnica M50...

Heya,   Was wondering if there were any solid state amps that can do the power that the Lyr does in a similar price range, or if Tubes just have the advantage there in raw power output. The Lyr has power, that's for sure, but it's not the highest quality sounding amp. It's just a powerful...

Heya,   So I'm scraping around trying to find some basic pointers on which direction I need to go. You can look in my sig to see where I'm coming from. I've got too many headphones. I want to keep like three. But I'd like to find a headphone that really just does most of everything for me...

Heya,   I'm considering picking up an HE-6.   Will a Little Dot MK III power it sufficiently?   EDIT: Update, will a LDMKIII power an HE-500?   LDMKIII Specs:   SEPP (Single-Ended Push Pull) OTL in Class-A Frequency response: 12 hz~100 Khz (-1dB) THD+N: 0.15% (80 mW @300...

Hey all,   ::EDIT::  I got the Shure 940's. Scroll through for pictures, impressions, etc. ::EDIT:: I just bought the K701's too. Gah! Will compare both. Sell one!   Update: Full Review Done, See here.   Edit Note: This may or may not get attention, but, I'm willing to lease or...
