Can anyone help me understand why one these supertubes are so differently priced.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SOVTEK-6H30PI-Supertube-ARC-Conrad-Johnson-BAT-2PCS-/120748685916?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item1c1d2eba5c  ...

So I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine a few days ago who's a fellow music nut.   I was pumped about the fact I had just picked up a new DAC (off this board actually) and was showing it off to him.  Instead of a "hey that's cool, whats it do" conversation I instead got...

Any recommendations for headphones that are heavy in the bass frequencies.  When I say bass heavy I'm talking like vibrate my brain out of my ears heavy.  I have HD650's for everything else, but I'm looking for a pair of full-sizes headphones that will fill another niche.   I have amps to...

So I'm curious how many head-fier's are running around with fairly simple setups, one amp/one pair of headphones.  I think it's easy while reading posts that it would seem most of us are running around with 10-15 pairs of headphones (and I'm sure that's the case with some of us).  Personally...

I have a nice pair of original T40's that I really like a bunch.  I'm wondering if anyone has done any type of wood cups (i.e. Thunderpants mod) for their T40's.  Any benefits, are the phones just not good for modding like that?   Currently I've damped them pretty significantly and I really...

Today I picked up what I believe to be a pair of Fostex T40 Orthodynamics at a computer surplus sale in a bin marked random.  For 2 bucks I figured I might as well give it a shot and see if they are good or not .   Couple things that are wrong I think with the headphones and I wanted to see...

I'm considering upgrading my current setup and I'm trying to settle between upgrading my headphones or my amp.  My current setup is:   HRT Music Streamer -> Behringer MiniMon800 -> Behringer MinFBQ EQ -> Little Dot MKIII amp -> Sennheiser HD598   While I still really like the setup in...

I'm sort of a newbie in terms of audio gear, I know how to use the equipment, but in terms of how sound works I'm by no means an expert.   I'm having something that I guess i think is a bit weird that is happening.  I have a Little Dot MKIII and Sennheiser HD598's and when I'm listening to...

I'm in a dilemma. I'm completely new to the headphone/headphone amp scene and wanted to get a nice setup for work to listen to.   My initial thoughts were to go with Sennheiser HD 598 paired with a Little Dot MKIII and Little Dot DAC_1.  I am lining up the funds to do such a thing.   Now...
