It is all about personal opinion my friend...

I concur with Grado PS1000's. I like open ended questions with no budget, it makes suggestions so much easier!

lol lol lol

I have a Millet Hybrid Max that I got second hand about a week ago. This is my first time with tubes and so I know very little. When I was attempting to bias the tubes I noticed that they were close to 21mV each when (if I have been reading correctly) they should be at 13.5mV each since the...

It really is all about trying a few pairs of headphones out. What is your price range BTW? I have a pair of 7506's and I would recommend them for the use you are describing. I got my pair already worn in and the bass is very good (while being fairly neutral possible leaning towards a warm...

What is your vinyl set-up?

The 2 sources I have used are my turntable and my Xbox like so: Turntable -> Receiver -> Headphone (2 diff headphones) Turntable -> Preamp -> Headphone Amp -> Headphone (2 diff headphones) Xbox -> Headphone Amp -> Headphone All of these have the same problem with the left side of the...

Do it now. Seriously... it's an amazing experience, you won't regret it! I backed myself in a corner and was afraid to go anywhere because I could hear footsteps and explosions all around me! Has anyone else tried this?

haha, brilliant

I use a pair of Sony MDR-7506 for while I'm at work. They aren't really the same as Grado's because I doubt that is really possible with a closed-back headphone, but they produce a surprisingly good sound for a steal of a price. I've also never had anyone mention sound leakage and I've even...

So, here's an update. It only gets stranger I'm afraid. After more extensive testing I found that I do sometimes have an issue when it is just my headphones and headphone amp. To fix the issue, all I have to do is turn the headphone amp off and on while my headphones are plugged in and...

Ah... I'm asking about ones that I don't have yet, not which of the above to use... Good point though, I didn't specify.

I just recently bought a Millett Hybrid Max (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/fs...s-sold-463668/) that comes with the following tubes: Sylvania 12FK6 for a gain of 7 GE 12FM6 for a gain of 10 Tung Sol 12AE6 for a gain of 14 I'm a complete n00b when it comes to tube amps (this is my...

I don't have speakers

Good idea jazzvinyl! I did that and my Millett and RS1's sounded perfect! I'm still not sure what the deal is with the turntable, it has to be the turntable right?

Ok, took my table into the shop and it's perfectly fine on his speakers. I then took it back home and am still having the problem. Different headphones do the same thing, so it isn't the RS1's and different hook ups (receiver vs headphone and preamp) have the same result. I'm still beyond...

I have no idea what is going on, but here is what I have observed: I hook up my RS1s to a receiver that is connected to a Rega turntable. I got a pair of RS1's a couple weeks ago and never noticed any issues. Today I got a new setup, a Azur 640p preamp and a Millett Hybrid Max headphone amp...

I second the idea of bring a pair of Grado PS1000's

There is a high probability that I'll be going to this meet (my first, woot!). If I can, I'll bring the following: Rega P1 Turntable, Azur 640p preamp, Millett Hybrid Max headphone amp and a pair of Grado RS1's

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! I ended up going with the Millett Hybrid Max and also bought a Azur 640p preamp. Both should be shipping tomorrow and then I can share my experience! Edit: Oh, and btw, I think if I could have gotten anything mentioned here, I would have gotten the...

I have a pair of RS1s (love them!) and I would love to upgrade it to the PS1000s at some point

More suggestions is always appriciated Anyone have any experience with the Millett I linked to above?
