    Woo WA2 Tube Rolling Recommendations

    I switched to a second set of 5998 and it doesn't hiss anymore , but the crazy thing is I can hear a loud pop on the left side once, and then it pop on the right side. Now both tubes seem to operate fine without any weird pop/crackle noise for 2 hours.

    Woo WA2 Tube Rolling Recommendations

    Is it normal for the Tung sol 5998 to hiss at no volume, I noticed the 5998 hiss when no music is playing or at low volume, but the hiss doesn't increase when I turn the volume up. When I swap the wa2 stock tube (Jan 6080) back, I didn't notice any hiss at all at lower volume, should I be...

    ZMF Verite Open

    I am interested in the VMF verite open and auteur, I will use it with the WA2 amp. I love the HD650 but the narrow soundstage and bass is something I want to improved upon on with the new ZMF headphone, should I upgrade to verite open or auteur?

    ZMF Auteur Thread

    How much of an upgrade is the ZMF Auteur for the HD650, I know there is diminishing return for more expensive headphone, I just want to know what should be my expectation? Also should I get the verite open or auteur if I like the HD650? Also I am planning to drive it with a WA2 amp.

    Former Sennheiser engineer Axel Grell made a $200 pair of ANC true wireless earbuds - the TWS/1

    Will IOS and android user have a different hearing experience when using TWS-1? IOS only allows AAC and SBC, while android get all this aptx, aptx-hd fancy stuff. My only issue with SONY XM4 earbud is the AAC implementation is really bad, it sound so bad on IOS device while it is amazing on...

    Former Sennheiser engineer Axel Grell made a $200 pair of ANC true wireless earbuds - the TWS/1

    While I really enjoy the earfun free pro with Oluv latest tuning which he made it for his patreon group only, he keep saying the Grell TWS1 is having this weird peak frequency issue and not as smooth as he hoped all. He talked in absolute manner like every single audiophile gear is trash except...

    Should I watch movie with my 5.1 speaker, or watch movie with my grado 225?

    I have polkaudio rm705 5.1 speaker system paired with pioneer vsx 919ahk amp, I know my 5.1 sucks compare to my grado 225 when I listen to music, but what about movies? Do I get more out of the 5.1 with my speaker system or should I just watch the movie with my headphone listening Dolby 2.0

    Is Ibasso D4 a good match with grado 225?

    I have been lurking the forum and I have seen good reviews/recommendation for the D4 as a USB dac/amp, but I cant find anyone saying it pairs up nicely with 225.   Anyone has any opinion about matching grado 225 with the D4, or can you recommend any good USB dac/amp that works nicely with...
