    Valhalla vs Crack for HD650

    Hello all, I am considering my next amp purchase for my Sennheiser HD 650's and the Valhalla and Crack seem to be getting good reviews. Anyone tried both with the 650's? I don't care that the Crack kit is less expensive, I'm just curious to which one might sound better with the 650's.   I...

    Compare 701's bass to SR80's

    I'm in the market for new headphones, I currently have SR80's and I've enjoyed them but find them too aggressive. The 701's sound like they would be a good fit for me due to my musical tastes (acoustic, female vocals, Pink Floyd, etc.) but I worry about the lack of bass. I read that the bass...

    What is a DAC?

    I know that it is a D/A audio signal converter but I'd like someone to explain a little further and what do I run through a DAC? How much is a decent one, etc.? I'm trying to plan out my system and I'm starting from scratch so I value your opinion/suggestions. Thanks

    Best amp for Grado SR 80

    I know these are just entry level phones especially for you guys but would anyone recommend a decent amp to go with these? I was thinking maybe a CMOY or PA2V2. I love tube amps but I'm assuming that would be overkill for SR 80's. Let me know. Thanks.
