Thanks for your suggestions everybody. I did a lot of research on all of the cans you recommended. I ended up going for a pair of LCD 2C's! Very excited to hear them.

Hey guys, I want to upgrade fro my Hifiman HE4xx cans. I have a Schiit Bimby and Schiit Asgard 3. I want something with the same clarity and detail (or more), but with more bass (presence and control) as well as something a little more fun! Maybe warmer? Less bright, but without sacrificing...

Yeah I looked at those for a minute.. hard to find! What do you guys think of the HE 4xx? That's another set I've been hearing rave reviews about.

Sorry, just saw there's a dedicated recommendation section. Can't seem to delete this thread!

Hey guys! Here's the quick scoop. I have a Schiit Asgard 3, Schiit Bimby, and a set of Grado sr225e cans as well as some Koss Porta Pros (yes, with the taxi pads). I absolutely LOVE the koss phones because they're such a damn joy to listen to, but they lack fine detail, punch, and quickness. I...

you guys have any good DIY tube dampening ideas that you've used on your Valis? Kinda want to put something cool together.

Oh neat! I will definitely check out the 7n7 frankentube!! Sounds fun. I'm dying to jump into the 6sn7 game too!

I had a Mimby and then upgraded to an older Bifrost Uber. I did a few AB's. Both myself, my friend, and my non-audio-enthusiastic sister all blindly chose the Bifrost every time. I can't speak about the BF2, but a non multibit, older bifrost clearly out did the modi multibit... soo.....

I've been listening and testing the WE396a I just snagged on ebay. It's DEAD silent on high gain and volume maxed out on my Grados. It sounds pretty perfect. It's extremely transparent. It's maybe a touch on the warm side, but really just the littlest touch. It doesn't have any character to it...

Anyone have any tips for someone with a set of Grado sr225e cans that are just a bit too bright?

Ah, yes... I was told these were warm! Looking for something way more affordable for now. I spent all my pocket change on some other pieces of glass !

Any cheap 6sn7 tubes you think I should give a shot? Loving my tele ecc88 and we396a. wouldn't mind more warmth!

Interesting. Good to know, thanks! Haha, I hate zReviews' style... but there are so few reviewers out there!

I just snagged the WE396a (same construction as that GE5670) and I love it. Curious to hear how you like the GE over time. big price difference between the two tubes.
