Regarding increasing "flagship" prices. You dont understand the essence of money. We do not have real money, that is why prices are skyrocketing. Measure the HD 700 vs gold and you will see that it is alot cheaper than the HD 650 when it was released. It is not prices and evil corporations that...

Sennheiser = a group of people working in a specific line of production. They create headphones. People buy the headphones if they want to. They are not forced to buy them. Sennheiser does not hold a gun to the head of Head-fi to sell their products by force. No private corporation forces the...

As the Senn HD 700 is coming with copper cable it might "tame" the brightness and deliver a somewhat better bass experience than HD 800, but its difficult to see how the HD 700 will be a totally different headphone from HD 800.   What we want is a new version of HD 650 for the same price...

But they are equal to the "normal" siemens? What are they worth?   And may I ask, this white RCA logo, can these be 1950s tubes? K

I just got my hands on 2x RCA white label 6922 gold-pin tubes. What are they?   - white label RCA(old and uncommon?) - label: 3-26, 32 331, made in germany, "A12" is ecthed into the glass at the bottom  - halo getter on broad support - grey shield/riser? - top of the tube has 4...

I recommend the Sunrise regarding price. It uses the best discrete components. It uses a very good wall-wart. It is a nice design. The volume knob is fantastic. It uses the full potential of the double triode. Other hybrids use 2 tubes, but you only need one.   But I dont really care what...

"This thread is not "the whole head-fi community" coming down on you or the Sunrise by saying that we agree much the Sunrise couldn't possibly beat much more expensive amps. "   How can you all AGREE on this when noone of you ever heard it? Many of you havent even tried anything like the...

BTW: This is a website everyone on Head-Fi should read. Get som enlightenment. Read the Audeze LCD2 review for instance. And you will see the truth about the head-fi community     http://www.bestheadphonesguide.com/   " Welcome to BHfG! tdunn | October 6, 2011 | Comments (0) A...

Every solidstate component is more revealing than a tube, you cannot fix the weakest link. That is my point which many people here dont seem to understand.   Even McIntosh cannot change that with their tube amplifiers. And yes, I think many headfiers including many big reviewers are all just...

haha... yes it is colored but not that colored, and I have had AKG K 701 and Senn HD 600 too.    Its fine by me. But this amp deserves to be tried. One really does not need any other hybrid amp.

Yes it does. Many of the headfiers are brainwashed when they believe that solidstate components are the limiting part. It is total madness.    anyhow ... please, go spend your money on more expensive amps, you will hear maybe differences, but not better sound.

I wont sound the same, but it wont be any better.   You are all sucked into this head-fi "biggest fools" game of our lifetime. There are differences between tubeamps, but as long as the tube is the limiting factor, which it is to this date, you dont get any better music by getting very...

No there is not. Check for yourself.    That is the problem here, noone are willing to compare. Try it... Woo vs Sunrise. or Sunrise vs anything else with 6922 tubes. Use the same tube and see what differences you hear. Not much. 

estreeter   which amps? Tube doesnt really change, its all tubes... 

Did noone try this amp?

The Rudistor amp is a pure SS. Its difficult, if not impossible, to compare that with a tube amp. None the less, amplification wise I would say the Sunrise is close to the Rudistor, even with stock PSU. But even though the Sunrise is very very good, it has the limitations of tube, meaning a tad...

which reviews?

Lets do a REAL comparison regarding the Sunrise amp:   Rudistor quad mono balanced amplifier:     PS Audio Dac Link III w/Cullen mod stage 4:     MIT balanced interface + MIT power interface:       Nordost coax cable:     This is a multi-thousand...

The Ultrasone ED9 is somewhat colored yes. Somewhat more colored than the Senn HD 600, but still alot better. The sound is somewhere between Senn HD 600 and AKG K 701.   I wouldnt spend more money on tube gear than this one, but your choice of course. Tubes are lacking and nothinig can be...

Big can: How do you know its not the greatest amp when you keep bringing crap headphones to the seller for a audition? Who are you to say that this amp is not what I say it is, when you admitted yourself you never heard anything else?    Noone here has heard the amp and still you all keep...

You wont get better, only different. Try to get this: The W E A K link in any tube amp is not the design but the tube. Any hybrid design will struggle with the same problem, the characteristics of the tube. No matter if its the Zana Deux or the X-can V2.   But please, spend $10 000 on...

Yes.. gimme your opinions 

How do  you know? As you said yourself , you havent heard any better :-)

I did not force you to read this thread 

It would help if you read the review. Sennheiser HD600 with Lehman/Matrix has been decleared as a amp combo which is as good as Luxman, and Luxman is one of worlds best head-fi amplifiers. The Sunrise stage is even better...
