Hi There headphone fanatics. I am in the process of compiling a list of headphones and headphone amplifiers (with USB a must) to review for dagogo.com. I greatly enjoy headphone listening and I am currently on a year to two year assignment teaching in China and I felt this was the best...

I recently purchased a sandisc MP3 player which has been quite good. It came with the usual terirble headphones but gave me the chance to try the Shure E2 like in ear headphones. Anyway, I went and paid $40.00 which I set as my budget for an upgraded Panasonic set but they were no better...

Hi. I have posted this on AA but this forum makes more sense. I am going to be living in Korea for a year and I am going to be buying a big external hard drive and loading all my cds on it in WMA lossless. I have a laptop that has three USB ports. Anyway money is going to be relativley tight...

What are your thoughts? I'm considering making a two-fold upgrade here. The Sugden is considered an excellent preamp and I would use it to upgrade the pream section of my Arcam Delta 290 integrated(the weak part of the Arcam is the pre amp section). I currently have the MG head DT. What would...

I was initially looking for a power amp and then connect my MG head DT up as a preamp. But when I was in getting a new Shure M97xE cart I stumbled upon a used Sugden A48B. Since it's the model that also includes a phono stage, and I like the tubeish sound I fell for it. ompared it directly...

Those considering an entry level tube pre amp might want to consider the MG Head. I went out and purchased a 1/4 pin to RCA Jack adapter and connected the Head to my Arcam Delta 290 integrated. The tube are all Russian Sovteks...the pre amp tube being the value conscious 12AX7LPS. Which I...

The following review is for the MG Head DT headphone amplifier with (Stock)2 x Russian Sovtek 6BQ5 power tubes, and 1 x JJ Tesla 12AX7 pre: The headphones used for this review were the Sennheiser HD600s. Source: Cambridge Audio CD6 with Tara Labs interconnects. Purchasing a headphone system...

Cigars to all Okay, Before I left the dealer I wanted to make sure all was well...I didn't want to make the 1 1/2 hour drive back if it didn't work. Anyway, we took it out of the big box and hooked up...turned the switch on(allowing virtually no-time to warm up). And I gotta say WOW Even...

and I'll be picking it up on Saturday As this is my first tube amp...anybody want to give me advice on the first things to do? I will use the stock tubes for the first while to break the amp in and then order some others to try. Do I have to have a voltmeter or something when I first...

I have been seeing this amp mentioned a fair bit...what is it? How much does it go for in US or CDN funds? Anyone have a site or pictures or reviews? Thanks.

I have read some of your responses to yube suggestions for this amp...I know you love those Sylvania's Bryan. The only site I could find selling tubes is at http://store.yahoo.com/thetubestore/index.html Being that I live in Canada(so shipping and duty will be far less) and all these tube...

I found a partial review of the ASL MG SI15DT Integrated http://www.uhfmag.com/Issue62/aslamp.html And partial reviews of Four Headphone amps including the MGHEAD at UHF Magazine. http://www.uhfmag.com/Issue58/HP.html I like the full reviews as they go in depth as to the strengths and...

After spending a fair amount of time listening to various Solid State Headphone amps, I've decided to go with tubes. Unfortuneately, the only tube Headphone amp I've heard is the Orpheus. I've listened to seperate and integrated tubes and even the cheap ones seem more musical than most solid...

I was perusing the Audioasylum forum under tubes and spoke to Joseph Lau (I'm guessing owner) and he told me that a new headphone amp will be presented at the Montreal show in October. It will be a headphone amp as well as a preamp for stereo use. I'll let you know when I find out more

I know a few of you own this amp and I would like some more information on it. I like British gear, Arcam, Cambridge Audio and Wharfedale so why not Sugden. I was looking at the MG HEAD(to go with my HD600s) as it's more in my budget...but I would not mind upgrading the pre amp section of my...

Many years ago I came across a salesperson that once told me about his 10 to 1 theory of headphones. Take a GOOD set of headphones and for every dollar you spend on them, you would need to spend roughly $10.00 to get as good a sound from good speakers. So you would need to spend $3000.00 on GOOD...

I am wondering if anyone has tried Double blind experiments on cd players or amplifiers with their headphones. What kind of results have you had. If DBT discussions are not allowed here I appologise in advance. Note: I am not a naysayer - Just curious. I will try in the next few months...

I know that some of you own theseproducts but I don't see any reviews for them. UHF magazine gave a good review to the MG HEAD but was wondering if you had more info on it. Also, the Sugden unit looks wonderful and I'm trying to find out how much it would sell for in Canada and if it's...

I am very new to this forum and this will be my 8th or 9th post. I have recently bought a pair of HD600s after listening to various headphones(including those Orpheus beasties) and I'm happy to have selected the best phones at this price point...well at least to my ear. I'm running the...

after 3 years of contemplating a headphone purchase. I originally bought a pair of Sont MDR 750s because of the good reviews in What Hifi Magazine. A couple of years later I heard the 580s and was very impressed, but I couldn't justify the money at that time since I had recently bought the...
