Original vs. Remastered Albums?
I just ordered Steely Dan Aja remastered in Nov 23, 1999. Anyone have experience with that one? I hope it is good. I must admit to automatically assuming that the remasters were typically improved upon vs. original versions. Maybe I should start another thread for people's opinions on specific... -
Upgrading my DAC/Amp, need suggestions please!
I have the Monitor 02 and Crack combo which I love with the HD 650's. I hear the HRT Music Streamer 2 has a better sounding dac than what I have so if I were in your position I would try that combo out (music streamer + Crack). The Crack sounds unbelievable for the price and it gives you a nice...- hy fi

I need help i'm looking for the best 500$ headphone amp for beyer dynamics T1... tame the high, add mid resolution and bass control, add bass texture and dynamics too
In my research on amps I see that people like the Crack with their T1's. I have the Crack for my 650's. In that price range you could do the Crack + Speedball and nicer tubes.- hy fi

Good dac for bottlehead crack amp + Sennheiser hd650s
I have the Musiland Monitor 02 and I like that combo but I have not compared it to anything else. If I had your budget then I would consider the Schiit Bitfrost. I like the modular concept.- hy fi

Musiland Monitor 02 US
I'm on WIN 7 and using the latest drivers for the Monitor 02 and Foobar v1.1.10 (the latest stable ver.). This works but on the Monitor Control Panel it shows the output as Wave and not ASIO.

Valhalla vs Crack for HD650
WelL I got my crack the other day and it sounds so good with the HD650's. Not only that but further confirmation that I made the right choice is that there is a particular tube combination that really makes a difference for me. Since the Valhalla cannot be tube rolled then you'd better like the...- hy fi

Valhalla vs Crack for HD650
Yeah I just bought a Crack so I can at least let you know how that sounds (when it gets here) even though I can't do a comparison vs the Valhalla. I ended up going for the Crack because there are many more reviews and positive feedback regarding it and people even saying it is better than a Woo...- hy fi

Valhalla vs Crack for HD650
Hello all, I am considering my next amp purchase for my Sennheiser HD 650's and the Valhalla and Crack seem to be getting good reviews. Anyone tried both with the 650's? I don't care that the Crack kit is less expensive, I'm just curious to which one might sound better with the 650's. I...- hy fi
