Hey All, I had some questions about making some custom cable modifications for my headphones. I have a pair of Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs with a single ended cable, and I want to upgrade it to balanced in order to use them with a speaker tap adapter from my Marantz amp (pm5005). Looking at the...

Yeah I think I'm going to jump on some OGs while I save up for a brifost. I have have mad dogs, not the he500s, but I doubt that makes much of a difference. Thanks for the guidance guys.

I guess I would have to say its a bit too lean. After putting ~50 hours or so on the stock GE I'm just not hearing much of that warm tube sound everyone is talking about. My source right now is a modi, which I also probably need to upgrade.

I've read this thread several times, looked over the previous thread, and read joe's tube lore a few times but it's all just getting more confusing. I'm wanting to get some tubes for my lyr and mad dogs. I can't decide between these: Amperex orange globes 6dj8 Amperex bugle boys 6dj8...

Awesome, im currently building a cmoy to re-learn how to solder, but i will start on the minimax after that.

I asked Dan from Mr speakers what the power requirements were and he replied "at least 200mW at 50ohms", so it looks like the minimax with the custom case might work. Is the custom case the one that comes in the beezar kit?

I would really like to hear if anyone ever did a comparison on this.

Yeah ive been using this and the creative labs knockoff version with my logitech squeezebox to go to bed for years now.

Just my compter, running Foobar2000 in WASAPI event mode. I would like to get a new dac like the bifrost that has some additional connections for a cd transport.

Has anyone tried a miniMax with Mad Dogs? Does it output enough power to drive them? I seem to remember reading that the amp output is about 0.8 watts at ~50 ohms which should be enough in theory. I would just like to hear from someone who has tried the combo.

I currently have a Magni/Modi with a pair of Ath-A900s as my work listening system. Im looking for a bit of an upgrade. I work in an office with about 5 other people so im looking towards closed phones. Im also interested in building some DIY tube amps. After looking around at a billion articles...
