Hi Arum 16, I am still new to tube amps and went with a recommendation of the Little Dot MKII as a newb friendly amp. My gear is as follow, optical to my Aune X1S, RCA to the Little Dot MKII with Riverstone Audio matched pair 7-pin GE JAN 5654W and Voskhod 6j1p-EV/6zh10-EV matched pair...

Hey, not sure if you are interested in a tube amp but the Little Dot MKii is on massdrop for $129, if you are interested in going with a tube I would highly suggest this one as it is a great starter tube amp.

If you would indulge one more recommendation, this one will be with the caveat that there may be some salty replies to what I am about to say. Some people find these headphones to be ugly, or lacking in the mids, and most of all, uncomfortable. With that in mind, I would recommend picking up the...

I will tell you something that I wish someone would have told me when I started out... wait till the budget meets the want. I did not wait and wound up with plenty of headphones, dacs, and amps that I did not really enjoy, need or want in the end. I had always had my eye on the 598se and the...

I wish I could give you a comparison between the two but I don't have the jubilee. I have heard that it does have more bass than the 6xx but it is not as clean sounding as the 6xx. I went with the 6xx because as I understand it, it is splitting the difference between the jubilee and the 700...

Somshankar, I don't want to oversell the 6xx but it is the best headphone outside of the 800s for cello music. I must also explain that I did not hear that until I put it on my tube amp. The tube seems to fill that soundspace and makes it warm without losing the detail. I was listening to...

I hate to jump on other peoples threads with questions but I did not want to start a completely new thread for a question you are asking. I would just like to expand on it and ask for advice on any brand in comparison to the Airpod as I have zero experience with IEM aside from the one that came...

I will tell you from first hand experience that the LCD 2 Closed are heavy headphones, but, it isn't as though they are so heavy as to make them uncomfortable. I personally enjoy the size and weight of these headphones. The Aeon Flow on the other hand are light as can be which to be quite honest...

First let me start by saying that Aeon Flow are great headphones, I own them and have no complaints about the what they bring to the table but more often then not I find myself reaching for my HD6xx or LCD 2 Closed depending on whether or not I am going to use my tube amp. At the Aeon Flow price...

You can get the Sennheiser HD6xx for $199 on massdrop. This is IMO one of the best headphones in this price range aside from the $250 1More triple driver over ear. The 1More has deeper bass but has comfort issues and some people find it lacking in the mids. I am not sure what kind of sound...

I am by no means a super geek when it comes to this but I can tell you from much trial and error what i have found that works for me. Let me start by saying that everyone has their own tastes and what kind of sound is pleasing and preferred to them. I would also suggest that if you have access...

Hello all, My name is Ethan and I am an audioholic. I became an audioholic in the 80's when everything was HIFI, and have been chasing this rabbit down every hole ever since. I traveled the world and the 7 seas for 22 years and did not find my tribe until I got stationed in Japan. It was...
