Hello everyone, I have a very newbee question: Which of the two tubes has the most influence on the sound signature ? The input (12AU7) or output (6080) tube ? I ask that because i have several input and output tubes, and was wondering on which position i should roll first (in order to change...

Hello guys, I really apologize for the following noob question which I imagine has been ask a 1000 times, but I am not willing to read all the 500+ pages... I just bought a Crack + Speedball and of what I understood the TS 5998 seems to be the consensus for the output tube. Unfortunately, it is...

Well I have a Little Dot 1+, Muses02, EI 6HM5 on the go, and just picked up a Darkvoice 336i on massdrop (still have to order some replacement tubes for it). I will do the comparison to see and post here to tell you my findings ;) I kind a hope you are right and sell the DV after..

Hello gibosi,   Thanks for the reference, it seems really good but it is way out of my budget :) I am considering something more at $200 ($300 max)...   ---EDIT---   Oh I just saw the Espressivo model which is more affordable at $350. I might consider it indeed.

Thank you for your answers !   Quote: Yes I know an hybrid is not the best match for the HD650. I was planning to go with an OTL amp (LDIII, Darkvoice 336SE, Bottlehead Crack), but I really don't like the design of the LDIII, and I missed the Darkvoice on Massdrop few weeks ago. I am still...

Hello everyone and happy new year !   I am about to purchase this small amp in order to couple it to a Grado SR225i and a HD650 (it will mainly be for the HD650). To be honest I read some pages of the thread but don't have the courage to read all the 194 pages ...   So I post this to ask if...

If I may ask, where did you buy them to have the "New" version as a replacement ?

Hello dishayu,   Could you comment on your preference/difference between the Classic and BE version please ? It seems you prefered the BE version since two pairs against one for the classic ..? Thanks

  Sorry I don't understand, do you already have the Classics or are you waiting for them ? If the latter could you give your feedback when you receive them telling us if indeed you prefer the classic over the BE please ? Thanks

Hello everyone,   I was about to put 100€ in a pair so I was looking to the VSD5 and GR07. Finnaly decided to go with the GR07 but saw there was a new version on Alliexpress. Is it safe to order the new version and expect the SQ of the old one or should I wait some more info/review ?   Also...

Hello every one,   It's been a while since I look for portable gears so I am not quite aware of what's new on the market ... I currently own a Fiio E10 mk1 that I want to upgrade so i am looking for a DAC/Amp. I want something small that I can take with me on the go. I plan to use it at the...

What about the battery life ?? The same as the X3 ? In comparison with the X1 ?

Thank you very much for your answers. I think I will order Fiio X1 + B3P1 soon.

Hello RedTwilight, Do you still have a Fiio X1 ? If yes can you tell us how the B3P1 are with it against them with the X3. I already read your review and comparison of the X1 (vs X3) and I think SQ of the X1 is enough for me but I am wondering if the power is enough for the B3P1 or if they...

  +1

Thanks for the reply ! By versatility I mean that X1 is a more portable device in a pocket with keys or other things. For me X5 is just too big for a true nomade use. But if it would apear that X5 is really superior in SQ i would deal with it..

Thank you for the details. I am not prepared to sacrifice the screen yet, but it is pleasant to discover this new device :) The main reason I ask this question is not budget (X5+64Go = $390 ; X1+128Go+E12A = $370, as i already have a 64Go) but is versatility. If X1+E12a is as good as the...

Thanks for your reply. I use havi B3 p1 and grado SR225i so I think both X1+amp and X5 would drive them quite well. It is more on a matter of SQ ...

Hi everyone,    How would you rank X5 vs X1+E12A ? Thanks !

Hello everyone,   I currently have a pair of Vsonic GR06 which I love the sound signature (Mid-centric), and I use them with a Sansa Clip+ (rockboxed). I plan to purchase an Ibasso DX 50 and want to upgrade my GR06 with the same mid-centric signature. Do you have some recommendations for a...

Quote: If you look the schema of the wiring of the balanced Headphone of HeadRoom, there is a third wire connected to pin1. And it is said that it permits to reduce the effect of RF interferences.     You can also see lots of unbalanced interconnect cable designed with a third wire...

Hi everyone,   I know this subject has already been treated, and I wanted to go with 4pin XLR. But then I thaught, in the 2*3pin XLR configuration there is the "ground" wire connected only at one end which plays the role of a shield and which is not in the 4pin XLR. So I was wondering if the...

Thank you for your answers.     I will probably use it balanced with a Buffalo III.   I think I read a post of JCX which said that two boards with a 4pin output (not TRS) would be great, and that 4 boards does not worth it. I may have not well understood what he explained, but...

Hi,   I plan to build a Beta 22 and I read almost all the posts of internet on the subject. I saw that there are some conflicts about the number of board, number of power supply, real utility of the ground channel etc. I am especially referring to JCX and Nwavguy who gave real engineering...

Hi everybody,   I hesitate between these two models : the Brainwavz M4 and the Vsonic GR-06. Does anybody have an opinion on the question please, or could compare them ?   Thanks a lot.
