Can you name some powerful all-tube amps that can rival Violectric-amps in output/voltage swing? Also: what is the most powerful all-tube amp for headphones available, if price isn't an issue?

Has anyone tried this amp? Couldn't find any reviews/info when I searched. (The company's website is in german only, so use Chrome's Translate function) http://www.xn--ptter-jua.de/Produkte/MAX44/max44.html

I love my M50s, but need something smaller with better sound isolation. Can you recommend som IEMs similar to them in sound signature. Budget: 200 USD. Minimal sound leakage is a must!   PS: I did search, but all suitable recommendations are over 5 years old.

I love my M50s, but need something smaller with better sound isolation. Can you recommend som IEMs in the price range 50-250 USD with punch(!), heavy bass and polite treble similar to the M50 sound signature?   PS: minimal sound leakage is a must!

Couldn't find a thread about these. Seems like a gimmick to me, but maybe useful for some people, if they sound good.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inspero/vinci-first-smart-3d-headphones-that-understand-yo

Can you recommend some warm-sounding, cheap studio monitor speakers? Not too large, $200-$400 per speaker?   To be used for music listening, not mixing/mastering.   I prefer a somewhat V-shaped sound signature

Hi   Can you guys recommend some good medium sized speakers with on/off/volume-knob on the front? Currently I have a pair of Creative Inspire T10. I checked out the Audioengine A5+, but they're a bit big, and also it doesn't seem possible to turn them off using the front volume knob.  ...

I really love the sound of the M50s, but are there other headphones that sound similar, BUT BETTER!? :-) Also more comfortable? I also really like the Sennheiser HD-25s. These are my two favourite headphones by far.

I'm going to Hamburg and I want to try the Sennheiser HD 800 (S) with a proper amp. Can someone recommend a store in Hamburg that has it?

I've noticed the HD 25 has got new printing on it, and "MADE IN IRELAND" on top of the headband has been removed. Can someone confirm that the new ones still are made in Ireland (it should say on the box).

Does anyone know this? Almost all (all?) other cans I've seen with a single-sided cable has it on the _left_ side. (I've personally changed this manually on my HD25)

Hello!   I know this probably is blasphemy at Head-Fi, but I want a hardware graphic equalizer I can use with my Rockboxed iPod and Cmoy-amp. (yes, I know that Rockbox has a decent equalizer and I have used it, but it's cumbersome to adjust fast/on the fly)   The only one I've found so...

Also, can someone post a link to pictures that show how I open it to check gain settings and jumpers?   Thanks!    

Hi all!   I just bought me a pair of Senn HD 25-1 II's, and I think they sound fantastic for both portable and home use (sound great out of my Zero DAC as well as my CMoy).   So, does anyone have some background-info about the series? When was the first model introduced? When did new...

Hi   My favourite can at the moment are the Shure 440's. Thight, punchy sound and they play loud without distorting (I use a little EQ). Only negative for me is comfort level. When I switched to my Senn 600's, they sounded too soft and "non-punchy". I used them less and less until I sould...

Hi   I really like the sound of my Shure 440s playing through my Zero DAC (1 year old and still workin! ;-) They are a little uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour though.. so I want something with a somewhat similar/"better" sound which are comfortable and _closed_.   I'm...

Hi I like to listen to music quite loud, and with my Koss Porta Pros there is quite a lot of sound-leakage, and that is a problem on trains etc. Can you recommend me a low-impedance (32-70 ohm approx), closed headphone with great isolation? (so I can listen to music loud without someone...

Hi I searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find anything. I own the 600's, and compared them to the 650's of a friend of mine. I noticed that the earcups, and also the room for the ears inside the headphone, were _smaller_ on the 650's than on my 600's. To those of you who have...

Hi I like the Porta Pros very much, but I recently bought an iPod Classic that just don't get them loud enough for me. Can you please recommend some IEMs that are -LOUD! -enough bass -not too costly Thanks in advance for any replies! PS: Please don't tell me "it's loud enough"...

Hi One question: On a Mac (with an optical out) Is the iTunes EQ still active when sending the signal through the optical-out, or is it disabled? I want to be able to use the EQ with the DAC. Has anyone tried this? (I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.6, by the way) regards Magnus

Hi I really like the sound of Koss Porta Pros, but after approx. 6 months of use they seem to lose alot of the mids and get "harsher"...(yes, subjective opinion) I've had: -Sennheiser 555's: good, but lacking in "punch" IMO -Grado SR60s: Too much treble (harsh) IMO -Audio Technica...

Hi I'm looking for a _cheap_ DAC with Toslink-input to increase the sound quality of my Airport Express...Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your answers! regards Magnus

Hi What are your top 3 headphones meeting the following criterias: -Closed -Easily driven (max. 70 Ohms) -Comfortable (around ear, not on it) Sound-wise, I don't want anything too detailed. I'm a big fan of my Koss Porta-Pro. (searched around the forum, and am a bit curious about...

Hi First post! I really like the Koss PortaPro. Not because they are that detailed, because they're not, but because of their "punch" and "drive" (very subjective, I know). I have a pair of Sennheiser PX100 and HD555 (now dead), which I find nice, but I think the the Senns lack some of...
