TURNTABLE SETUP Questions thread - don't start a new thread, ASK YOUR QUESTION HERE!
Hi all, I am in a head over toes whether I should get the RP3 Anniversary, or the RP6. The anniversary seems like a very good upgrade from what I am having, and having a good feeling since it is a half-century REGA packs, same as the anniversary for Dark Side of the Moon. But then again deep...- airil

XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions
Yeah, I was reluctant before trying, and used a couple of others such as LME49720 etc, but made the dive into V5i anyway due to the peer pressures from this thread; and yes, its meant to be in there most of the times.- airil

XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions
Wow, i am very surprised u guys havent move from XD05. I made my move to M11 Pro and sold my XD05, after the upgrade to Burson V5i, and my DAP stopped working. Mostly due to the travelling with DAP+DAC stack which wasnt so likeable. Now im a happy man, with my travelling setup S8F + M11. At...- airil

willsenton r8 tube integrated/amp/headphone amp
Yeah, so i installed the Mullard EL34, mid a bit muffled, i guess need to let it burn in, will update when it starts reaching its nirvana. Roll in the 6SN7EH gold pins over willsenton's stock, its quickly showing improvements. Soundstage is a lot better, a bit forward. The details are...- airil

willsenton r8 tube integrated/amp/headphone amp
Thanks for the advise JKDJedi, i would do just that actually. A friend of mine bought the same amp with EL34 Psvane tubes from the supplier and i kind of like the signature. But ill try the mullard and listen, if need then ill go and find the same as his. Itll be a long journey ahead :) That is...- airil

willsenton r8 tube integrated/amp/headphone amp
Hi all, Ive received this amp with stock KT88 tubes. Have been using it on most days for about 30 days, from my LP player to the speaker. Now ready to start rolling. I am in an interest to go for EL34 and thinking of mullards. For the 6SN7 and 6SL7, which are drivers?- airil

Sony D-EJ011: A in-depth review
Hi all, I looked up the ebay and saw some DEJs. I have the DNF610 readily available in my stash. Just that want to make sure if the DEJ is better sounding than the DNF610 or vice versa. (It is just me in the old times feeling envious of people with DEJ and feeling like owning 1 - now) Would...- airil

Topping D50
To change the sounds maybe to a better one? And give higher satisfaction probably. Im just asking if any of you had tried. Since I had xp with that standard opamp, and prefer the sounds of the LME49720 or ultimately the Burson V5i.- airil

Nobsound Little Bear P10
@K31TH3R lol! What a small world. I swap with my favorite tube which always been in my Bravo v2, the Psvane Tii A-grade. I have a pair of them, but to be fair to the P10, I ran it for 30hrs on standard tube, then remove the tube on my V2, and put it in the P10. Despite how increasingly...- airil

Nobsound Little Bear P10
Thanks for the detailed review. I don't really know how to write that long or technical. Having a Dt990 250ohm, and HE4xx, comparing side by side to the audio bravo v2 with same 12au7 tube swap between them (since I think it's Apple to Apple comparison), I decided to put it on the sideline. :D...- airil

@serman005 thank u! I have the v2 with psvane tube and quite happy with it being my desktop set. I am thinking if this is superior by much, u know, since we can use a lot more tubes. Heard about Bravo Ocean but never tried. Guess I just click buy and see later- airil
