ALAC -> iTunes -> Musiland US 02 -> Cambridge Audio Azur 550A - Usher 520S Speakers ALAC -> iTunes -> Musiland US 02 -> Little Dot + -> Grado 225i   Simple and enjoyable :)  Took me a while to get here but content for the time being.   Love this thread so much and have done for the...

mine arrived this morning, its sitting at home and have to wait for another 7 hours until i can plug it in, this is just as bad right ?

Like i mentioned earlier, i chose the E92, because i figured it was an upgrade from standard, and i have a further upgrade option if i want to try tube rolling. Anyone know if when you order the Little Dot, when you select upgrades, do they replace the original or do you gain both sets? FYI...

You can order directly through little dot, as i think they are trying to clear the back orders that were placed during their holiday period. I ordered 2 days ago for the Little Dot 1+ Hybrid, he mentioned to allow for 4 - 5 business days for the amp to be built and tested, and another 6 - 9 for...

hi all, looking at potentially getting this amp very very soon, and was wondering if any once has experience 6AK5 Pentode tubes on this amp? and how they found them. Cheers!

Hmm to save the doubting i might do, i may try and arrange a test listen here in NZ first before going this route just to make certain

Cheers for the link, will keep an eye on the link. Have my money transfered and waiting What im just wanting to ensure is that this amp will rectify what i find is the problem with my Musiland amp/DAC. When i currently have it plugged in, the music is very distant, and some frequencies...

woo, yes this is exactly what i am going through right now. I use my PC as a source, and as of right now using a Musiland US 02, which for the amping section with my 225i is so horribly under whelming. After pluggin my phones into my dads yamaha home theater receiver, i can truly hear the...

whats the bing cash back>??

wait, dont you sell these :P

Wow, i only ordered last Wednesday morning and got it today. Must have been the most effcient process ive come across. Pay Pal and eBay work great together! I managed to catch the courier at the end of my street as i was going to work today, so i have it in my hot little hands but have to...

Ordered and on its way. Looking forward to this because my Grados are sounding sub par off my headphone output from my creative speaker controller :P

Hey all, just after some thoughts and advice! Now i have ordered a pair of Grado SR-225i which are on their way, and im looking at options for amping them in the very near future. I want to create a desktop setup as its all that i can really allow for right now. So i was looking at this...

Im a newbie, but if something was in Auckland i would be interested

I'm looking for a external DAC/Amp combo to use with a pair of Grado 225i's, having seen it mentioned once or twice during the 8 pages, are these not really going be a great match with this unit? Maybe a Musiland monitor 02 could quite be possibly better suited. I'm planning on having a desktop...

yup thanks you guys, its now my screensaver!

How would the ST compare with say the HiFiMan EF2 which would work out roughly the same price? Its a Amp/Dac combo. I'd be looking at using Grado 225i with either of these options.

You have made some good points there RedSky, but in regards to BordrGuy saying his source will be from his computer via his on-board chip, having the added benefit of a DAC incorporated into a amp unit, it would make a considerable difference i would think? Hmmm its hard when theres so many...

Interesting thread, I'm basically in the same position looking at the 225i model, and what would be a appropriate addition hardware wise to run from my pc. I'm currently using on board and would assume a dedicated headphone amp such as the EF2 would be better bang for buck then say the Asus STX...

I think what the others are trying to say is, that in a ideal world placements etc would be perfect. But alot of the time you have to do the best that you can. For example its not easy to just go ahead and modify that massive cabinet to just lower the center speaker half a foot. Hell it...

mine are their way from the states woo!, look forward to see how they work with my Samsung YP-K3 player. Horrible standard earphones, not comfy at all, and they just don't fit well. Then i shall see if i need to purchase the FiiO E5

Hi guys, First post on this rather dangerous forum ( for the student with not much money ) Im looking at getting the Nuforce NE-7M from here, http://www.amazon.com/NuForce-NE-7M-...8040403&sr=8-4 from what i have read, they are not the best straight out of the box ( comfort wise? ) and...
