Portable tube amp from china?
I noticed that it can be noisy as all get out if it's within a foot of the phone. I may have to dig out my old iPod Classic for use with this. The one time I've taken it out of the house I used a 4ft stereo cable and kept the amp in a separate pocket on the opposite side of my body as my phone...- Klaatu

Portable tube amp from china?
I got the B5 in today. It is indeed functional and it seems to be driving the daylights out of my HE-400 cans. I'm going to need some quality time with it, but so far I really dig it.Those are definitely tiny little red LEDs behind the tubes, so they don't glow by themselves.- Klaatu

Portable tube amp from china?
I just purchased a Little Bear B5 for $40.99 here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Douk-Audio-Little-bear-B5-MIni-Portable-Dual-Vacuum-Tube-Headphone-Amplifier-Audio-HiFi-Amp-Free/32740509983.html It's listed at $44.99 but they gave me a $4 off coupon for joining Alibaba. They're claiming...- Klaatu

You have to be rather careful as Seagull are often copied. Whenever something looks too cheap, I always stay away. While I have yet to see one of the Seagull Toubillions in person, I understand that they're rather nice.- Klaatu

V-MODA CROSSFADE WIRELESS: Exclusive Preview, Videos, Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Actually I was trying to state that your question was a valid concern. I'm not convinced that they're enough of an upgrade to spend another $150 plus for the new features. I'd love to have the cliqfold feature, but the my phone doesn't support the new Bluetooth and I already have the XL pads...- Klaatu

It's a totally valid question. I wonder if they have a trade in program. They allegedly have bigger drivers, but from what I can see they're still listing them as 50 mm.- Klaatu

So with the V-moda crossfade wireless 2 out, has anyone gotten a set and done a side by side? Aside from folding and coming stock with the XL pads (which I consider a big deal) what are the real differences?- Klaatu

Why the Beats Hate?
Actually the $30 Casio is way more accurate than a (mechanical) Rolex. A lot of headphone enthusiasts actually are watch enthusiasts. The main reason Rolexes are so expensive is that they're a hand made, totally mechanical item. Some of us find beauty in well made, finely functioning objects...- Klaatu

I really dig that watch. It has the same Seagull movement as the 1963, doesn't it?- Klaatu

I used to have a swamp ash Jazz Bass and it was heavy as all get out, but high density is a good thing for wooden cups.- Klaatu

If I'm not mistaken, the movements in Fossil autos are made by Seagull. They're actually decent quality for a Chinese made movement.- Klaatu

Wow. I had a great experience dealing with Luke, but this was a few years back. My Vibro Vintage cups are #3 off his line. At the time he was pretty active on these forums and responded to emails within a couple hours. My dealings with Jin were rather straight forward and I got the drivers...- Klaatu

There are also the $19.99 Ear Zonk pads on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW4RWH2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=30XE24IE8WQU9&coliid=I1HNS53I5668SA although other forumers have reported them to be not terribly durable.- Klaatu

All that's left are the gimbals, the headband and the pads. I'm even considering getting the aluminum gimbals.- Klaatu

Okay, so now I have Turbulent-X drivers, Vibro Vintage cups, a Black Manta headband, and a 10' Canare L-4E6S cable. Do a set of Grados get much better? My source is an Asus Xonar ST with (for the most part) lossless digital files.- Klaatu
