Referencesounds/LFF's modded HE-5 >Code-X< thread
Just have to add in to my thread. Code-X driven by EC 2A3 w/ upgraded tubes... pure musical (yeah... i know, it's a word to avoid) bliss. HD800 is still favourite, but the gap between them has been closed with a transformer-coupled amp. /V- ValentinHogea

Oh... No no no... the difference are very subtle. So if you like your short brown base, stop obsessing! ;)- ValentinHogea

I paid 1600 SEK (182€/245$) for a NOS ECC35 (both black and brown base) from Roland @ tangotubes.com. Don't know if he has any left. Want me to check?- ValentinHogea

Want me to see if I can help you finding a NOS one? Not Anax 3.0 yet... He who not must be named here, I hope you understand even if you don't agree (), hasn't made the 3.0 public yet. /V- ValentinHogea

I'm not getting into thos discussion... Whatever floats your boat, as long as it has about 500 mW into 32-50 Ohms if the power is refined. Speaker amp this and that, ridiculous. The CodeX is my favorite planar up date (excl. the Abyss, as I haven't had the possibility to listen to it...- ValentinHogea

Hey mate, I bought an updated 2A3, so it's more of a side-grade than uprade. :) I want to start experimenting with high efficiency speakers.' All the best, V- ValentinHogea

Let me know if you need any unusual stuff. Tangotubes.com (Roland) is a swede that I have good contact with and he has a lot of premium tubes. Not cheap. But definitely NOS as in NOS.- ValentinHogea

Hi mate! I prefer the Tall Black Base... It's a bit more neutral while the short brown base was a bit more euphonic. It's a matter of taste. So try them out, pick the one you prefer (... and the differences aren't THAT big...) Regarding the Full Music & Sophia Electric. The official...- ValentinHogea

New high-end headphone amps: Vorzuge VorzAMPpure and VorzAMPduo impressions and review thread
http://vorzuge.com/products/vorzamp/vorzamppure-ii Prices are starting to get ALO Audio / RSA-ridiculous. Too bad, at least the 1st gen was a pretty good amp, overpriced but good. Now they fixed the problems with the first gen and bump it up 135 USD. For what... A gain switch? HAH. ...- ValentinHogea

Harald is a really cool guy! I've mailed with him on numerous occasions, but that was the first time we met (by mistakes... he sat in the chair between while I was a bit disappointed by the Orpheus-system or rather the music playing). He has heard a lot of heaphones but I think both my...- ValentinHogea

I'd say the clamping force is a bit lighter. The big difference is however that the pads and headphone don't have the "roll inwards towards the nose"-feeling. With LCD-2 r2 and LCD-3, the fluffier pads tend to create an inward rotation... the modded HE-5 doesn't have that problem. The...- ValentinHogea

I was just asked per PM what I the CodeX sounds like... Hi xxx! I'm still baffled by how fantastic the CodeX is... To be honest, to me it sounds like a mix of the following: 1) Soundstage and instrument placement of the HD800 2) Mids of the HE500/LCD-2r1 3) Bass like 90% of...- ValentinHogea
