    Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Plus coming?

    Who was the reviewer with the silver beard and Hawaiian shirts? I'd love to see his review of this.

    QUAD PA-One Valve Headphone Amplifier and DAC

    It's a real nice amp, especially on HD600, 650, etc. If it's new that's a nice deal right there. I've owned LOTS of expensive headphones. I'm happy now with my HD600's on a good amp.

    Lake People G108 impressions?

    I've had one about a year and am always surprised at how good it is. Highly recommended.

    Original owner perfect condition Quad headphone amp/line stage. This is a spectacular piece of gear. It's built like a tank, all the switches, volume pot, etc are all really solid. Sound quality is off the charts, particularly with a headphone that likes tubes like the Sennheiser's. The DAC is...

    Lake People G108 impressions?

    No news? I'm thinking either this or the $500 more Violectric. I like the balance knob on the G108.

    Suggestions for an amp for me?

    Looking for an amp with two RCA inputs and 1/4" and XLR headphone outputs. If the Headamp GS-Mini had two RCA inputs instead of one RCA and one XLR that would be perfect. Might consider one RCA input and one DAC input if the DAC is VERY GOOD. All comments welcome.

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    My thoughts exactly. And they give it more bass when what it really needs is a wider soundstage. I don't see this knocking the Sundara off its pedestal.

    Focal meets Hifiman

    I've solved this by having a pair of Focals for Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, etc, and Arya's for classical and film scores.

    The Amazing Audio Research I50 integrated with headphones is way better than expected.

    Don't know about Germany, but if you're talking about the U.S. you are just flat out 100% wrong. American tube amp companies are not required to have people send their amps in for biasing. 45 years ago Conrad Johnson had a little LED on the top of their amp that you could use to set the...

    The Amazing Audio Research I50 integrated with headphones is way better than expected.

    Read the manual. It says 'if you replace a tube you need to send it to Audio Research to have a technician adjust it'. In other words.... we want $530 to replace your power tubes. They should give these away, they'll make it all up in service fees. It's astonishing to me that in 2022 a...

    The VA-One is a 'built like a tank' Quad headphone and speaker tube amp with a built-in dac. I bought it to use as a headphone amp and it is outstanding at that. I love a good tube headphone amp. There is a built-in dac which is good enough, but my Chord is better and I've used it through...

    This is the famous Gilmore Lite MK2 headphone amp and includes their new $300 outboard power supply. I'm not a big 'outboard power supply' kinda guy, but this power supply is a huge improvement. I've owned a lot of very expensive headphone amps but I've been very happy with this - wonderful...

    The Peachtree Sonadac sold new for $1299. This is a very light use (mostly as a dac) unit that is LIKE New. Includes remote and power cord. Makes an excellent digital preamp, I used it with a Benchmark amp and it was a great combination. It's a really nice unit, looks great and sounds...
