Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Hey guys! I have owned HD650s for quite some time and absolutely LOVE them. I use them with the Schiit Valhalla 2 and the Bifrost Uber. My question to you all: is it worth trying out a pair of AKG K701 with my setup as another "flavor" to add some variety? If not, what would be a good complement...- thinkpol

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely check out the orange globes in addition to the smokies. Or should I get a "holy grail" tube for more cash than getting 2-4 cheaper tubes? Any thoughts on the Aune X3 and what amp to power it? Or better off going with the T1 into an active speaker...- thinkpol

B&W P5, Apogee One, iPad
Any thoughts on this combination? I need to be able to record sound (guitar, vocals, lectures, skype), and have a DAC / amp. Will the Apogee be the "one" to do all of this well and pair nicely with the P5s? Wasn't quite sure where to post this as it's sort of an all-in-one rig. The P5s are...- thinkpol

Creepy/scary/horror songs that aren't cheesy
Great suggestions! Added "Benighted" by Opeth too, it's perfect! I tried to find an Anton LaVey audiobook but haven't been able to so far ;-) -
Creepy/scary/horror songs that aren't cheesy
Making a playlist. Not looking for anything too "heavy" (like Gorgoroth, Cannibal Corpse, etc). Although I like metal, the person I'm making the list for doesn't. Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place Massive Attack - Heat Miser VNV Nation - Tempest Charles Manson - Ego... -

Portable headphone amp with 2 headphone outs?
I want to be able to lay down under the stars (with a girl) while we both enjoy some music out of some HD650s. What portable amp will have enough power? Should I think about splitting the signal or are there portable amps with 2 outs? Thanks!- thinkpol

Headphones & amp for Foosball playing
I'm on the road to being a "professional" Foosball player. I know, totally random. Anyway, I play at the table for 6+ hours per day and need some music to keep me company. I will probably be listening to a lot of ambient music to help with concentration (think Aphex Twin). Based upon what I...- thinkpol

Help me! Macbook Pro (FLAC) -> ?????? -> Swan M200MKIII
What would be the best DAC to put in this chain under $300 or so used? I'm assuming I'd need one that connects into a USB port, although, the new Macbook Pro has a Thunderbolt port. Would this be better? If so, are there any DACs with Thunderbolt support? It'd need to have stereo (L/R...- thinkpol

For anything bass heavy you're probably going to want an amp to really push some air.- thinkpol

Got my $11 ATH-M50 s today
No, I quoted the representative from 17th street photo who, out of nowhere, implied that purchasing the cans for $11 was thievery. Quote:- thinkpol
