My Xtra X-1 amp has a problem. It works with the battery removed and the charger plugged in, but when I connect the (dead) battery the unit shuts down and the battery does not seem to charge. I like this amp but cannot find a battery for it. I emailed Jasmine Chine and Uncle Wilson at Jaben...

A few of his thoughts: He seemed to think the burn in reduced "edgeiness" after a week. Bass: "...scary good" Midrange: he liked it alot "... can teach an old song new tricks." Treble: "..deliverd snap and bloom" His "..chief niggle with the Senn 650 was that they could be overly...

Little Dot LD2 Review Here is the capsule review upfront so there is no need to search for the conclusion nor wade through my bloviating: Treble 4.5 of 5 stars Shimmering cymbals with very musical decay Midrange 4 of 5 Lush and life like, but lacking the last bit of detail of the...

Has anyone tried to replace the Altec Lansing filters with either ETY ER4 or ER6I filters? I am worried that either Altec will drop the IM716 line or Ety will no longer supply them. I have called and emailed Altec for technical support and I can tell you they are not interested in provideing...

I am looking for the best amp for driving Senn HD650's around the $300-$350 price range. I like to sound of tubes but may also consider a good solid state amp if it is better than the tube amps in this price range. The WooAudio 3 may be a bit out of my price range even used, but I like the...

Does anyone have experience removeing the headband(just the foam) pad for the Senn 580? I have tried pulling them from the middle but they are resisting. It seems like they want to slide out from the ends of the band but there are stops preventing them from sliding out either end. Is there a...

This is a review of the new M3 headphone amp by Rockhopper Audio. I burned in the M3 with 8610 for 150 hours before serious listening. Treble Smoothness is a strength that Mosfets are known for. Tends toward the tubey without typical unbuffered opamp coldness. No spit or sizzle...

I have read some fairly good feedback on the ERGO 2 but not much about the ERGO 1. 1- Does anyone have any experience with the ERGO 1? 2- Does anyone know of any reviews on the ERGO1? I can only find the Hi-Fi Choice review for the ERGO 2. Thanks for your help Tom

I have looked through the archives and have not read much feedback about Rockhopper Audio so I thought I would report on my experience. Stephen Katsaounis is the “Head Penguin” (how can you not like anyone who loves Penguins) and he has just started his own business building headphone...

Thanks to Mkmelt, I am very happy with my Marantz 2230 and 1060 for use with the Senn 650's. I agree with Mkmelt that the Marazntz does not sound best the Grado 225 or 80's. The Grado's do not sound as good with a refurbed Sansui Seven receiver when compared to a Meta 42. Has anyone had...

Anyone have experience with old Sansui receivers(Model 6,7,8 or 8 Deluxe) as headphone amps for both low and high impedence phones?

Thanks so much Macdef for your superb reviews, they are right on the money. I have had numerous headphones since 1975 back when I had Stax SRX's and the Koss ESP-9's. They both sounded too etched and lacked bass impact compared to my Dahlquist DQ-10's and I rarely listened to them. Today I...
