If its mechanical hum its pretty normal, its only a problem if its audible through your headphones

I just got my xduoo ta-66 from amazon and I have to say my findings are bittersweet. This is by far the best I've ever heard my Sennheiser HD580 sound and my HD800 sound absolutely incredible aswell and I have other much more expensive gear.... The issue I'm having with it is I have a moderate...

Why would he promote a product that hurts his bottom line? He makes a commission off every Valencia sold. That’s why I learned to disregard his reviews. It’s become a joke at this point.

The left side gets hotter because torwards the front there appears to be two large regulators? In close proximity sinking heat into the side. I’m fairly sure they are power supply related. Perhaps Cayin can confirm?

This amp is a no brainer for anyone who owns a he6 he6se he6sev2. Pairing is excellent.

Yes but you would now have 2 volume controls to attenuate the signal. One on the WA22 and one on the GSX. You want to set the volume on the Woo at an appropriate level as you could potentially risk overloading the input of the GSX mini giving you harsh clipping/distortion.

So my new toy arrived... very excited as I used to own a WA6 a few years ago loved its sound but didn't find it powerful enough with some of my planar headphones. The WA6-SE is a much better fit however it wasn't without its challenges at the start. Ran into a ground loop issue (50 cycle buzz...

Not sure if this is thread appropriate but I have no idea where else to ask this. Have any early gen WA6 and WA6-SE owners seen these green label Sylvania 6DE7 tubes with black plate structure? Can't find any info about them on the internet nor a single photo so I'm guessing they are quite rare?

Sorry for the late bump, I have had both and actually prefer the sound of the D7000.... less piercing and more balanced overall. If I was looking at a potential upgrade from the D7000 I'd probably try the ZMF EIKON.

The headband went in with them too. Honestly mine are so worn I don't even care at this point.

Just chucked mine in the washing machine with some wool wash. Quick cycle 40 degrees C 800rpm. 0 Issues.

Anyone run Sundara pads on their HE-500s? Got bored and ripped the pads off mine and threw them on the HE-500 and wow these things slam hard and have great low end compared to the stock or my lawton angle pads...

Which one of the Dekoni earpads changes the sound the least on the Clears? Mine have discolored and have tried everything to clean them to no avail. Decided I'm probably better off with black earpads but don't want to change the tonality of these headphones.

Are there any measurements of this headphone online? I have no way of listening to it and just want a glimpse of its tonal character. I currently own D7000's and love them... if these have a similar sonic signature without the sound leakage count me in. I used to also own the AH D600 aswell and...

I just picked up a used pair of ZMF Atticus for a steal with the older style headband in Paduk. My god I've never heard another headphone quite so musical and liquid. They remind me of the HD650 which I love but I feel that they are better suited to pretty much all genres. The HD650 in some...
