I'm looking for a quality tube amp (not interested in schitt) that retails for $1k or under. Single ended. If yall could just throw out your favorites I would appreciate it.

Looking for something more powerful than my element and preferably it be an amp/dac combination.    Thanks guys.

I am having trouble finding mid - summit fi level headphones that are neutral and forward sounding. Any suggestions?

I have a couple questions   1. What is the best/latest mod for the HD800 and how does it improve sonically on the stock HD800? 2. With that mod, how does the HD800S compare against the upgraded HD800?     Thanks guys

I loved the way rock sounded on the TH900, it sounded like a new song compared to other headphones. The forwardness and brightness really let the guitars sing and that kick drum...wow! Anyways, the highs were way too fatiguing and I just couldn't listen for a long time. Looking for something similar

I'm having a difficult time finding a quality headphone that has the visceral impact of the TH900 while maintaining a quality level expected of summit-fi headphones, or at least mid fi. Separation/clarity/soundstage etc.. (Which is why the JVC 2000 or something like that would obviously be...

I am looking for a more forward sound with the rock music really being in your face and I want the slam of the drums to be heard through the bass.For bass I would prefer a hard controlled slam rather than more of a "rumble" but I like both. These are the headphones I have tried and my comments...

I was wondering what your thoughts on the differences between the two were since I heard they are both known for their bass.

Loved the LCD 3's but the heaviness/clamping was too much to listen to for long periods of time. The bass also left something to be desired....Though it was tight and high quality, there was not a "fullness" or "rumble" to it. I would also like a wider soundstage...   - Tried the SZ2000 and...

LCD 3's are a bit too heavy and I wanted a bit more boom in the bass, so I tried out a pair of Nighthawks and love the bass but now I miss the clarity/detail and soundstage from the LCD 3. I also thought the Nighthawks bass was a bit muddy, though overall satisfying. Is there a middle ground...

Recently sold my LCD 3 for its heaviness and lack of impactful/rumbling bass...now looking for headphones.   Tried out the nighthawks and loved the bass but the soundstage seems a bit narrow and doesn't have the detail/clarity that the LCD 3's had. Though I like the "fullness" or "rumble" of...

I am selling my LCD 3's because I can not get over the weight/clamping force and I would like to find a similar headphone (not LCD 2). But, I would like more bass. The LCD 3 bass was absolutely lovely but it didn't have enough...rumble? Fullness? To put it into perspective I recently tried out...

Hello all,   I have a pair of LCD 3's that are awesome (but a bit heavy) and unfortunately, I use them mostly without music. As much as I love these things, I find myself not being able to justify the hefty price tag. So, are there similar headphones to LCD 3 that are still considered summit...

I currently have a purrin moded W1000X that isn't being properly driven, but I'm looking to upgrade to an LCD 3 in the future and would like an amp/dac that can OPTIMALLY drive both (mainly the planar magnetic). My music preferences are electronic and rock...I love that deep down bass, hence me...
