Hifiman EF-5 headphone amplifier mods and rolls
Hello! Back in 2014 I asked Hifiman about changing AU7 tube with other variants from 12AU. They said it's ok but distortion may increase: I've been enjoying this great amp for 9 nine years now and it's been a wonderful peace on equipment. I change volpot for an ALPS potentiometer and also...- jaxz

Hi my friend. I own RS1i, SR325X and RS2X. The latest fit between the first two. RS2X have great clarity, transparency and it's very very detailed. Bass feels much more controlled and less bloated than 325X. All headphones have stock pads. Good journey!- jaxz

Grado Fan Club!
Hello! I think my last post here was from 2016, time when i bought the RS1i, which I used and enjoyed for a long time, but I gradually lost interest in favor of other brands (Sennheiser, Hifiman, etc) About a month ago I bought the 325X and liked the sound, a lot. I was surprised by its sound...- jaxz

I know everyone hears different. In my case, for my 300 ohms Senns, middle gain - 4.4 mm - at 12 o clock its very very loud, almost unbearable.- jaxz

Efectivamente, el sonido es muy detallado y claro. Es una muy buena combinación. En mi caso una mejora notable desde el combo D50/ Ember.- jaxz

The tonality of the 600S obviously mantains. I always felt that the sound of the 660S had a graininess that detracted from the experience. Now it is much less obvious, it is almost no longer present. Clarity and instrument separation is greatly increased from the 4.4mm jack. The sound is more...- jaxz

Hello! I was previously using the D50 with Project Ember. The K9 PRO delivers better volume management. There is a much greater range for using low impedance / hi sensitivity headphones. In sonic terms, the K9 PRO is more detailed, flat and crystal clear. The HD800S sounds punchier and very...- jaxz
