Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread
I do not know if I am allowed to say this, but I have one of these units for sale over on the 'Gon. I love this unit but must downsize at this time. Shame really...- finleyville

Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread
Thank you for sharing the pics. @LifeOnMercury, @huangwan Thanks for the info. Those Abyss 1266's are rated at only 47 ohms. Their sensitivity of only 88dB must be the reason they are known to be hard to drive. It just seems like for a headphone amp to be capable of driving the most...- finleyville

Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread
@RobertSM I use my Senns both ways actually. I have a few different cables that I play around with. While using the balanced side is definitely louder, it is not all that much. Either way, my volume is still at Gain 3 95-110 volume. To me that seems extremely high for a preamp that can...- finleyville

As far as tube-rolling is concerned... My music presentation tastes tend to lean a bit more to the solid-state than a vacuum tube style. That meant that the Mullards and the GE's I tried were way too warm, mushy, and overly bloomed bass. Conversely, the Telefunken's I tried were too bright...- finleyville

Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread
Before I respond to the tube rolling query I have a question of my own: What gain settings is everyone listening to in both headphone and preamp mode? When using either my Sennheiser/Massdrop HD6XX or in preamp mode I do not get any audible music unless I choose Gain 3. On top of that, I...- finleyville

I feel that the balanced sounds louder. I never did any measurements on mine though.- finleyville

I (usually) do not like the sound of the classic tube sound. Having said that, I love the sound from this amp. I have been using a matched pair of Psvane Mk II's as I feel they are the most solid state sounding tube out there. I love the detail retreaval, quickness, and accuracy of this...- finleyville

I, too, am interested in this. I need a amp for my HD650's and would not mind replacing my current two channel DAC if I like this one better.- finleyville

Silly Yggdrasil question
Anyway... Will the Yggy output to both the RCA outputs AND the balanced outputs at the same time? It would be nice to hook up both my speaker preamplifier and a balanced headphone amp simultaneously. Thank you.- finleyville

Sennheiser x Massdrop HD6XX Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Have these on order and already thinking of changing cables. Should I peruse the 650 thread for solid recommendations or is there a specific 6XX mod thread up? Too bad these won't ship until after Capital Audio fest to demo some amps...- finleyville

Unique Melody Mentor debut in Tokyo e-earphone festival
I am still on the fence about buying either these Mentors or the JH13's. I really wished I could audition them so I could make an informed decision. I am coming from a Westone 4. I really liked the sound, but I thought they were a little too sterile and not enough "fun." @...- finleyville

Unique Melody Mentor debut in Tokyo e-earphone festival
Would you mind elaborating exactly why? I am trying to understand the sound signatures of these high end CIEMs without ever hearing them. Tough stuff! The last thing I want is to plop down this amount of money, wait for them to be finished, listen to them and think......meh.- finleyville
