    DIY: Mini--> Mini

    I am in the process of getting a good quality mini->mini cable for my iPod-->amp setup, and have realized that those cables are just too expensive.  I am looking at cables that are between $150 to $250, and I just could justify that (plus I don't have the $ for it). Instead, I am thinking DIY...

    Looking into a mini3.

    Like the title says, I'm looking to get a fairly cheap yet decent portable amp, and possibly some re-0's. My Monster Turbine Golds have bass that seem out of place in some songs, and I want to try a different listening style without spilling a ton of money. Looking into amps, I found that the...

    NFB-12 OR HRT MS2 + Mini3 for HD650

    Hey head-fiers!   Just like the title reads, im interested in some new gear for my newly acquired HD650s. Mind you, i will be using my computer as my main music source so a usb-capable device is a must! My budget this time around is approximately 250, though i CAN stretch it to 300 if the...

    Need help on Mini3 Parts.

    From the part list for "Integrated Circuits" on the website, there are 2 U4 and 2 U5. Does it means that we choose either 1? Is it alright if I choose "high performance" edition for both U4 and U5?      Another question is there are knob and volume/power switch. Are they referring to...

    How to fix my Mini3?

    Hi-   A couple years ago, I ordered a amp/dac unit from MisterX, here on the head-fi forums.  The unit had a Gamma Lite DAC and a Mini3 amp, and it has been awesome!!   But, last winter I broke it.  Here's what happened: I was wearing a comfy blanket while listening to music with my...

    Mini3 left side no sound

    Mine was working but after yesterday's charging, suddenly there's no sound from the left earpiece. I charged it for 2 hours only so I don't think I had overcharged it. I tried to resolder the output jack and a few other parts but its still the same. Tried with other earpiece and its the same...

    2007 Awards for Headphones and Amps

    With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

    Three-way Review: HeadAmp AE-2 vs RSA Hornet M vs Rockhopper Mini³

    Intro More than 5 months ago, at the beginning of the summer, I had plans to do a multi-way review of the latest portable amps. 5 amps were going to be included. Amps I ended up tossing out and why: - C&C Box v2, because Headb.com replaced this model with the Box+, and I didn't want to...

    Comparative review of the AMB Mini3 and the Miu Audio MRB

    Introduction Some time ago I got a message from Miu Audio asking me if I would like to build one of their headphone amplifiers for free.

    Looking for portable amp for Imod

    As indicated, I'm looking for an amp for my Imod. (I mostly use Denon AH-D1001 headphones at work.) I use the Alo Audio OCC Triple-Pipe Cryo cable for my LOD. Price isn't too critical, but I would like to keep it under $250. I'm somewhat torn on an integrated DAC. On one hand, I'm quite happy...

    I have $300 to spend. Should I upgrade?

    I currently own a Musiland 02 US DAC and a mini3 amp. I've been thinking about upgrading for a while and have heard some good things about the ODAC/O2 combo. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on whether it's worth upgrading to the said combo. I plan to use it with the Denon AH-D2000...

    A warm-ish SS amp below $500?

    I'm currently driving my Ultrasone Pro 900 directly from my Yulong D100. It's an awesome DAC with a totally decent built-in headamp, but it's VERY transparent, bordering on cold. I like my DAC as transparent as possible, but for the Pro 900's I'd love a slightly warmer presentation. I'm not...

    Portable amp for my HD25-1 ii

    I use my HD25-1s for pretty much all music. On my home system, my headphones sound a lot better with my amp my father bought me, the bass is deeper and rich, the soundstage is a lot better etc. (I have no clue what brand it is.) My budget is 120 dollars, I was thinking the ZO, the pa2v2, or the...

    Best solid state amp for Denon AH-D7000s

    So I just recently upgraded my headphones to the Denon's and am absolutely loving them.  However, my audiophilia nervosa is acting up again, and I'm starting to wonder if my channel island VHP-2 is the best match for them.  I'm thinking of either getting the VAC-1 external power supply for the...

    M^3 from YBM Audio?

    Does anyone know anything about YBM Audio?   I am thinking about buying a built M^3 from them.   I have heard that it works well with the HD600.   Are there any other places to get a built M^3?   What are some opinion of the M^3 vs. other SS amps in this price range?   Also...

    [Novice] Seeking advice re: Denon AH-D2000 to D7000 upgrade + amp/DAC pairing

    Hi all, relative newb here. I've owned a pair of D2Ks for just under three years now. I had them running un-amped for a time, sourced primarily from a MacBook Pro, and eventually decided to purchase an iBasso D2+ Boa in 2009.   I've been using and very much enjoying this combination ever...

    Warm and dark solid state amp with big bass?

    I know tubes get you this sort of sound easier but I don't want a tube amp so could you recommend me a solid state that fits the description in the title?   In particular I want a really solid bass impact and extension.   Price should be in the Lehmann Rhinelander range (or hopefully...

    Any SS head amps that have tube like "warm" sound, especially in the treble

    I know the obvious answer is, get a tube head amp, but I am looking at Tube Buffer + SS amp. Am aware of gd Audio "SA" versions but are there any other makes in current production? Under $1000 & pre amp or not is ok. TIA.

    Amp suggestion for completely clueless beginner

    I seeking suggestions on a headphone amp. Low to mid price point. Headphones will be mid priced full size like Sennheiser HD600/650 or comparable.     The problem is, I don't know what I want, or do or don't like and I just need to start somewhere. I've owned two pair of Grado SR80's for...

    Amp recommendations for Superlux HD668B

    Hey guys. I'm looking for an amp for my HD668Bs for mixing (and listening). I can't spend over $100, and every dollar I'll save will be used to buy microphones and other equipment, so I'm basically looking for the cheapest option that's good. The ones I have on my mind now are the Pimeta (I'll...
