    So have you tried any other tubes?   By the way what music tracks did you try with when evaluating?

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I had another listen to the Audeze LCD-XC at a hifi shop using ALO Audio Rx -Mk 2. It was still a very enjoyable sounding experience.  Unfortunately the assistant refused it to be connected to my portable amp iBasso, jds, or my laptop with audio engine d3!   The P7 in the B & W showroom sounded...

    FiiO E12 v1 vs Cayin C5 brief comparison

      I am eager to try C5 for myself now. I guess like all things audio, it depends a lot on what it is connected with.

    I enjoyed your review.  Strangely I never heard of this brand.  Did you try this through any normal integrated amplifier as well?

      I know someone who ordered from Singapore Adelphi. If you live there, try it. It is one of the biggest shopping mall full of audiophile devices and accessories.

    Comment by 'johnKenneth' in article 'Headphone Impedance'

    My brother used his old Threshold poweramplifier(+pre) to drive his (old) Stax electrostatic speakers and it was lifelike on some music. But when connected to his latest purchase Stax 009 headphones, it was a not glorious. It sounded fantastic at the shop with Blue Hawaii amp though. Could this...

    Review by 'johnKenneth' on item 'Shure SRH 940'

    The name Shure alone stands for its long time professional heritage and live components. So I was intrigued before listening.    I listened to at least 5 different music tracks and three different sources (including my usual jds headphone amp). I got consistent impressions this is a not in...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    If you think the NAD Viso HP-50 is very good, wait till you try the new Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7.   This new model unexpectedly is that good.

    Review by 'johnKenneth' on item 'Parrot Zik 2.0'

    I had the opportunity to listen to this at length against some other similar priced gears.   After pairing my device, it magically struck me WOW!   As I tried a number of music tracks , it became apparent the deep bass was almost one note and somewhat disjointed with the upper registers...

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 Discussion Thread

    If you are referring to that Sennheiser, yes this new model is surprisingly more musical and involving.     Sennheiser has been one of my long time favorite brand but this MSR7 is really a delight.

    Review by 'johnKenneth' on item 'Sony MDR-MA900 Over the Head Style Headphones'

    I managed to try this MDR-Ma900 against others in the same shop.    The comfort and ergonomics of this Sony are very good.   Initially, I was pleasantly surprised how nice it sounded.    But after a longer listen I realized there seems to be grains and slight harshness especially the...

    Review by 'johnKenneth' on item 'Xtreme Xplosives On Ear'

    I tried this twice with different devices. It sounds pretty good with big bass sounds and probably suit a lot of youngsters today.   Many very young people that I know prefer Beats or something similar with the gadgets they owned.     But if you owned a dedicated audiophile amplifier...

    Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 Discussion Thread

    The Audio Technica ATH MSR7Ltd is probably the best value headphone at the moment after which diminishing marginal returns comes into effect. Virtually all highest end gear are highly dependent on what is it connected to. But when a headphone such as the new MSR7Ltd comes along and makes...
