Could use recommendations for planars
Hey yooo, Here I am again. Didn't really like the Sundara. Not enough bass for me. And by the way, listening to metal mostly, and classical and trance and all. Anyhow. Anything better I can go than Ananda? Heard it has more bass. And again cannot buy used or any stuff like that. 700€...- sinisterm

Could use recommendations for planars
Hey guys! Thanks for all the recommendations. I went with Sundara, since it was in nice discount from Hifiman directly. Cost only 338€ with shipping. Pretty certain I will be fine with these for a long time, but we will see. :) Audeze LCD-2 sounded nice too to be honest, but finding second...- sinisterm

Could use recommendations for planars
Hi duderiinos, Was somewhat active here years ago, and have had a lot of different headphones and amps. Most hi-end ones were Grado GS-1000. But been moving around the world and had to first leave the LittleDot and now also the Grados as well (well they were breaking in pieces to be honest)...- sinisterm

Head-Direct Poor Customer Service?
Same here with Yuin PK-1 replacement, waited for months and they told they never received the phones. I then asked if they would refund the money, waited months, and many emails, for it and they just said it will be paid. Then I asked if I could buy some other phones and they'd deduct the...- sinisterm

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
These RTC's were pretty good straight out of box, but now with hours they got some weird boost to bass, especially drums sound boomy and so. Pretty horrible sounding to my taste at least. Tried with AKG 701, GS1000 and Ultrasone HFI-780. The 701's are unlistenable with these. Bleh, time to...- sinisterm

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
Damn these RTC's look cool. Lots of light in the bottom of the tube, and a pillar of light rising from there all the way to the top of the tube. Wish I had camera so I could share this beauty with you. ... and they sound really nice with AKG 701's, but I'll get back to it after the tubes get...- sinisterm

PK1 cable broken
I have PK1's with same problem, need advice also. First one I sent for replacement since they had guarantee but these don't have anymore. Pretty ridicilous to pay this amount of money for puds that don't last more than 6 months if you ask me.- sinisterm

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
Anyone heard of "Westinghouse 6AK5W" or "National Union JNU 6AK5"? Never ever heard of those manufacturers, or are they just some relabeled tubes? God I gotta get rid of this amp, these tubes are beginning to cost more than a new amp.. Still waiting for those France RTC 5654's, I'll post some...- sinisterm

Ultrasone HFI780 ALO Mod
Damn you guys. I haven't even received my (recabled) AKG701's yet and I'm thinking of selling them to get these. I guess there ain't any European retailer for these? Damn those VAT's and taxes, raises the price by over 25%.- sinisterm
