    Looking for entry to tubes and rolling. and warmth Little dot or Bravo, or anything else.

    I am looking for an amp that keeps the upper mids to highs under control and is overall warm and smooth and still dynamic but in a nice non fatiguing way, and/or has good tuneability to get there. Also changing opamps may be considered.    Powering zmf t50rp (similar to mad dogs in regard to...

    desk amp recommendations please. Up to $200. I have an odac already. T50RP (ZMF mod)

    I have an odac. But I'm not entirely sure i want to use the o2 amp alongside it. Would it be ok to use a Schiit amp? Is there any thing wrong with such mix matches? Are there any considerable leaps in quality from the popular $100 amps to anything closer to $200 that would really be worth the...

    T50rp question...

    http://www.zmfheadphones.com/order-the-zmf/   I'm looking here at the upgrade options this guy has for t50rp. So the basic ZMF upgraded t50rp is $190 (That includes the headphones believe it or not! which totally smashes mad dog and thunderpants deals if the sound is comparable). Anyway my...

    Just one more DT990 vs q701 thread. But it's more than that...

    I like the idea of the dynamics described with the 990, but i am afraid of that treble spike everybody keeps talking about. I can take strong treble as long as it doesn't actually get sibilant or fake sounding. I like the idea of the soundstage described with the 701 (well both really). But...

    Help me remember a piece of equipment i was reading about. I cant find the thread or remember what the thing was called.

    The subject of the thread was somebody asking whats a good bass amp if i remember correctly. People suggested this and that. Tubes and solid state arguments and whatnot. And somebody ended up recommending this adjustable equalizer amp thingy. I remember reading that this device is useful for dj...

    undecided. sub bass extension, isolation (sealed housing), and overall sound quality for under $100

    im ready for an upgrade from my atrio x. there is definitely a tad much midbass hump and muddiness throughout. what i listen to is IDM, EDM, chillout sort of stuff. (whatever you wanna call it) like future sound and aphex twin or even some makyo . lots of different techno really. also some...

    i love my new poor mans gear. atrio x with sansa fuze v2

    I have owned my atrio x's for maybe 2 months now. And they definitely loosened up a tad (in a good way i mean) after approximately 100 hours just like everyone says (both atrio and atrio x are well known to need some burn in). And i loved them even when they were new. I guess im just checking...

    rockbox and sansa fuze v2 or fuze +?

    http://www.rockbox.org/   Says here on the main page that the sansa fuze is supported. PERIOD.   nothing about the fuze v2 being an exception and nothing AT ALL about the fuze +   so im assuming they all work with rockbox and are collectively just listed as "sansa fuze" in the...

    please suggest for me a cheap small portable player just for music.

    i use flac files mostly but also some itunes and mp3s.   i would prefer something that works well with rockbox.   4 gb or 8 gb is ok as long as it will read my 16gb micro.   sound quality is of course what im going for. a cheap basic music player that plays flac and reads 16gb micro...

    why do my flac files show different bitrates in winamp?

    yes i use winamp. it does everything i need it to and i like the layout.   so anyway when i play my flac files each song shows a different bitrate usually somewhere between 700 and 1200 kbps.   i thought that flac uncompresses (plays) at standard cd quality 1411 kbps. so why is winamp...
