I currently have a fantastic vinyl/tube based system to use my headphones with. My headphones in order of most use are HE1000 V2 Stealth, HD6xx, and HD580 original. Now, I’m looking for a desktop DAC amp all in one that I can use for playing music from the likes of Qobuz, etc. I’m not...

Yep, I’ll plan to hang on to the HD 6xx so I can always come back to it. I also have an old pair of HD580.

My current headphone system consists of the following: Sennheiser HD6xx Quicksilver Audio Headphone amp PS Audio Phono Modded Technics SL1210MK2 Modded DL103r Overall, this system is very enjoyable to listen to. The sound is well balanced and produces a good amount of detail. While this system...

Thanks, I would highly recommend it to any vinyl fans as it is a great way to keep things organized yet easy access. It's the Unison record stand by Symbol Audio.

I recently upgraded my headphone amp and what a fantastic upgrade it is. So it was a great time to capture the current state of my headphone system.

I thought the D90 was great from first plugging it in. But I do think the sound opens up significantly after around 150+ hours. FYI for anyone evaluating this device.

Well, I ordered NOS matched quad GE 6SN7GTB tubes and received them today. They're a little smaller than the stock JJ tubes but wow do they improve the sound. There is definitely more clarity, dynamics, and because of the clarity, you can hear into the soundstage better. A great improvement...

I've read about the first 60 or so pages of this thread to determine what might be the best tubes to get for my Freya +. I got it a few weeks ago and am liking the sound overall. It seems that either the GE 6SN7GTB or RCA 5692's would be ideal upgrades from stock JJ tubes. I have still have...

This is one of my favorite album finds this year! I just received the 45rpm vinyl today and it is glorious!

I have had Rotel components in my main speaker system for around 18 years now and they have been very reliable. In my system which utilizes Magnepan speakers, I've tried three different amps. ​The Magnepan speakers are very revealing of equipment so it's easy to hear differences clearly.   ...

One of my best is Ecstacy in Number live at the HE2003 (Stereophile) show.  I highly recommend tracking down this recording.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I have a very early LD Mk3.  I ordered mine right after they were released. Even with the Senn 580's I've found that certain types of tubes cause some hum. In my case, the short Voskhod tubes cause hum. I've tried 3 different sets of those tubes with the same...

I use my 681 Evo's during the day hooked up directly to my computer.  But I have tried them hooked up to my LD MK3 at home.  When I did so, I thought I perceived a slight improvement in sound but I wasn't absolutely sure.  I typically use my LD MK3 with my Sennheiser HD580's.  So when I'm around...

Yep, I still use mine every day.  The sound in the right side sometimes cuts out. But if I readjust, the sound comes back. A little annoying but they've been great otherwise.  

My Evo's have developed an intermittent issue.  The sound on the right side goes out sometimes.  But if I twist them a little, the sound comes back.  I think I may open them up and redo the wiring over the weekend.  Has anyone else done this?  Was it fairly straightforward?  Do you have pics?  

You should add a Superlux to your list. They cost much less than $90 but will compete with headphones in that price range.  http://www.head-fi.org/products/superlux-hd-681-evo-black-professional-monitor-headphones

I found when I had just broken them in for around 200 hours, there was some sibilance with female vocals.  But that has settled down now over time. 

A couple of artists I like that play electronic music are Tycho and Com Truise.  Check them out!   https://soundcloud.com/tycho   http://ghostly.com/artists/com-truise

If I remember correctly, I had downloaded a file from this thread- http://www.head-fi.org/t/296647/could-someone-please-direct-me-to-an-mp3-file-of-pink-noise

One more thing, I found that burn-in hours with pink noise are more effective than just playing music. That's with burn-in on any piece of gear.

i think the biggest change in sound is apparent by 140 hours but burn in isnt completed until around 220 hours.
