Thanks for the info! I've been trying to figure that out for days and for the life of me I couldn't find anything on this. Besides Mullard's, what other brand of tubes would you recommend? I've heard Sylvania's are nice, but I'll admit it, I'm a total noob to tubes haha

I'm new to tube rolling and I was wondering if the 12au7 tubes were the only tubes the V2 can use or can it use 12ax7's as well?

Oh yea, getting an amp/dac combo will be a lot better for music. The mixamp is really only for surround sound. I would go with fiio to start out. They are a very good brand and well known amongst the headfi community Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Check out the beyerdynamic custom one pros. They are very bass oriented headphones. I have a pair a love them Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'll post pics tomorrow I'm going to bed lmao

Quote: Putting them through the paces to burn them in right now. When I first hooked them up and played some halo 4 on them they were a bit bright, but they've leveled out now and sound awesome. My room is about the size of a typical media room and these are plenty loud. The sub it comes...

So just an update, went with the mlt2 system and it is absolutely amazing. More than enough sound for my room which is the size of the Magnolia room at best buy. The speakers are larger than you would think, more like a smaller bookshelf speaker than sats. Once I get them broken in more I'll...

Is that carbon fiber around the tube?

1. FF7 2. KOTOR 3. ELDER SCROLLS SKYRIM 4. FF10 5. ORIGINAL FABLE I'm a huge final fantasy fan lol Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yup that's them haha Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I thinks it's the s1005se-2 Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Anyone know anything about KEF? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The larger drivers are what made me want the mlt set. I also took a look at the kef 1005se/2 on newegg and people say they are amazing. Ugh why am I so picky!? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Will do man, I'm always looking to help people whenever I can

So according to some research the Martin Logan mlt-2 is a rebranded paradigm ct 90 system and it used to be a grand. From what I've read it's good system and I'm going with that one haha, thanks for all the help guys you've been great Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I've learn that comparing specs doesn't show real world performance. It's like benchmarking a phone, it could score really bad in a benchmark, but perform very good in day to day performance. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Vmoda m100s are an amazing set of cans. The bass is amazing

Thanks for all the help guys, I may go with the mlt-2s. I also stumbled upon a set made by definitive technology called the 60.6 and they look good as well. I'll let you all know what I get.

I'm liking the idea of those pioneers, does the energy set sound good. The size of not room is about the size of most Mongolia home theater rooms in best buy so I would need something to fill that sized room Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Just to clarify, 400 or less on the speakers Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I've got the receiver already, my budget is tight right now so I have to go 400 or less. I found some Martin Logan 5.1 systems on Amazon, are those worth the money? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm looking for a system that won't break the bank but will better than my 5 year old Samsung system. I've been looking at energy and Polk systems. Any other recommendations are greatly appreciated. I mainly play video games if that helps. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm not saying I'm an expert or anything. It's just my, and others, experiences with the newer devices. To each their own though. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Everyone I've talked to can hear a difference. There is one there. Maybe not what your tests say but I've definitely noticed an overall better sound quality through my 5th gen iPod than my my brothers 4th gen. Same goes for my mom's 4S and her new iPhone 5. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using...
