Hey everyone. Back after a while away    I've recently done a new desktop build, and am looking to complete my audio setup. For the last week since my build, I've been running onboard sound -> Little Dot II+ (stock tubes) -> AKG K501   My motherboard is an Asus M4A87TD-USB3, with the VIA...

Hi all, Having just sold my home headphone rig, I need something to play music on. So I would like to buy a set of speakers to hook up to my laptop, since the built in speakers sound absolutely horrible. I don't have room for an integrated amplifier or receiver, so they must be active...

Hi all! As noted in another thread, my LDII+ has started arcing again, so I'm going to replace it with a new amplifier. I will be using the amp with my AKG K-501 or an HD-650 (on the way). I'm not too fussed about my MS-1 though, they sound fine straight out of my CDP (can't tell any...
