Looking for Audio Technica ESW10JPN substitute
Are there any portable cans with ESW10 like sound signature + isolation? I use it in office and it suits me great, but not at the coffee shop. I have tried some other cans (D1100, DT250, SRH840, Pro900), they all have better isolation which is what I need but so far I still like the esw10 sound...- nivlek

Review : AUDINST HUD-MX1 DAC/amp - a promising newcomer (compared to Audio-gd FUN, AMB Gamma2)
I just received the mx1, its such a great little device! Had a listen for few hours with the little dot hybrid. There is a big solid bass boost to my ears compared to the ibasso d10 dac, and also better clarity, vocals are more in your face. Anyone tried to hook this up to an ipad using...- nivlek

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
I tried 3x49720NA, its sounds bass heavy but loosing other details. Then I tried 2x49720NA with the stock JRC2114 to buffer. sounds alot better, with good bass but still keeping other details, more balance. Any other combination worth to try for my setup?- nivlek

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling

Little Dot MKIII problem
I switched the power tubes also, nothing changed. I am not sure if changing the tubes will solve the problem. Anyone knows how do the tubes work on this amp? One tube drives the left channel and one drives the right channel?- nivlek

Little Dot MKIII problem
I just received the MKIII as my first tube amp. Plugged in, powered on, only left channel has sound. One of the shorter tube doesn't light up, but it still has the heat. I tried to swap the tubes around, the bad tube still doesn't light up, again only the left channel has sound. Does that...- nivlek

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
I thought the preamp out will bypass the desktop amp and let the A5 amp does the job. Is that still double amping?- nivlek

I want to try that chair, but have a feeling it gets dirty easily. I find people dislike these chairs when they are into fully padded ones with leather. Some of my friends like their staples chair more, I guess they prefer the sofa like feeling instead of sitting straight.- nivlek
