    Entering electrostats - where's the sweet spot for a nice setup?

    I'm not in any hurry, as I haven't collected the cash yet. But I think that I somewhere along the road will get into electrostats. I have only listened to HE-60 and a Stax model which name I forgot. These HE-60 are pretty high end, and they sounded incredibly good. What I recall is impressive...

    Isabellina HPA LFP-V Edition: review and listening impressions

    This is my review of Red Wine Audios Isabellina HPA LFP-V Edition. The approach is non-technical and very subjective/personal.   A couple of years ago, I was out to find a DAC, that could give me some of the same organic and natural sound, that I was offered by my vinyl setup. I always was...

    Hifiman DAP minijack troublesome fit

    Hi   I have the HM-602 and I'm very happy with it. Only big problem is:   Not every minijack terminated headphone fits properly.   Small minijack plugs (G1A, OK1, MTPC, Westone ES cable) fits all fine, but when I plug my APS recabled HD650 in (with neutrik plug, I think), it...

    Headphones to match Hifiman HM-602

    I recently got the HM-602 and I have sold out almost all my portable gear. I just find the sound of this dap to be simply great! The analogue-like sound of the non oversampling td1543 dac chip is just what I have been looking for. I enjoy it very much with Yuin G1A. This is my favourite. The 150...

    Did anyone compare Beyerdynamic T1 vs. DT770/600 (600 ohm manufaktur ed.)?

    Anyone tried both and compared?   I have several times been very close to purchase the T1, but I have not heard this headphone yet. From what I've read, it seems that these two headphones have a lot in common.   I'm running my DT770/600 from Isabellina HPA or Isabellina > WA2 with tung...

    Help me find a USB DAC (most "analogue" sounding)

    I need some advice to get me started.   At this point I have read a little about sampling, but there's a lot left for me to work on, before I feel that I actually understand the basic issues... So I'll clarify a little bit of my listening preferences instead. My favourite set up is vinyl. I...

    I have decided to buy a Dacmagic. I have my music on external harddiscs in FLAC connected to my pc. Currently I just connect my Woo Audio wa2 amp to the 3,5 mm output on the front of my laptop (Lifebook). I guess adding a DAC will be a real winner...right? But how should I connect this DAC...

    Anyone knows where to buy nice tube amps in EU?

    I need some tips for online shops in the EU. I'm going to buy an amp for my HD650. Got my eyes set on Woo Audio, but it will cost me a fortune (up to +40 percent) to have it shipped to Denmark (vat, tax...), unless I'm really lucky...I don't always trust my luck, though... Is there any...

    is there any point in getting hd650 balanced, if the rest of the set up (headphone amp, reciever) is not?

    I'm thinking about buying hd650. Some recommend that these should be balanced. At the moment I have my mind set on Darkvoice 3322, which is a tube headphone amp - but is it balanced? And does it matter? Will the 400$ for the balanced cable be wasted, when the source is my NAD C352 reciever...
