    Tube amp for HD700 - confused about which one to pick!

    I'm looking at a bunch of different tube amps for my Sennheiser HD700, but it's hard to decide on one. For example is the "extra" price of amps such as Woo WA3 ($599) or Elise ($689+) worth it/necessary compared to getting a somewhat cheaper amp such as Valhalla 2, Lyr 2, Little Dot MK4 etc...

    Tube amp for hot little apartment - bad idea?

    I keep seeing people who recommend using a tube amp with Sennheiser HD700, however my small apartment is very well insulated and it gets hot in here quickly. Since I'm likely to have the tube amp turned on all day, I'm worried if the extra heat will be a problem. What do you guys think? Are...

    Audiolab M-DAC - still competitive?

    Can it be true that this DAC released back in 2010 (I think?) is still a good choice today?   What Hifi still recommends it - it even won their "Best DAC £500-£700" award just last year (it was beaten this year by Chord Mojo).   There's got to have been released many new DACs since 2010, so...

    Getting a more musical and warm sound

    My Sennheiser HD 600 headphones have a very clean, neutral and balanced sound, however recently I've started thinking they sound a bit _too_ nice.   Can I use some kind of software to get a more musical and warm sound, like in the NAD VISO HP50 and B&W P7 headphones?   All help is...

    Headphones for iPad-use - how many Ohm?

    Should I pick a 32 or 42 Ohm headphone for use with my iPad, or can I go with a 80 Ohm? I'm guessing 250 Ohm is out of the question because of the little amp that is inside the iPad, or ?   Thanks.

    Alternatives to B&W P7?

    What headphones are out there that share a (somewhat) similar sound to the B&W P7, but are cheaper? It's got to be a closed headphone, and it should have a detachable cable. Max. price level that of the B&W P7, but of course preferably cheaper.   I've fallen totally in love with the sound of...

    Closed headphones for classical music on iPad

    I listen to classical music on my iPad Mini 2 with a set of Aiaiai Tracks headphones currently, but as I have quite a bit of traffic noise outside my windows I'm now considering closed headphones. It's for home use, for when sitting or lying on my living room sofa.   If you had to pick...

    WD TV - is it silent? Or the Panasonic DMP-BDT260 Blu-Ray player?

    I'm considering getting a WD TV but I wonder if it's completely noisefree in operation? What about the Panasonic DMP-BDT260 Blu-Ray player - anybody know if it's 100% silent?   Is there another media player that is better which I should consider?   I listen to a lot of classical music which...

    I'm getting a Sound Blaster Z sound card soon in order to use the card's virtual surround sound in games, however the SB Z comes without any form of external volume control for the headphone amp.

    Sound Blaster software (X-Fi MB3 etc.) - what exactly is needed to run it?

    I just found out that Creative sells software that enables you to use their virtual surround sound technologies without buying a Creative Sound Blaster card: http://www.creative.com/oem/products/sw_solutions.asp   Now I'm wondering if my motherboard will run the software - I have an Asus...

    What should I pair Sennheiser HD 600 with for gaming? (Stereo vs. Virtual Surround)

    I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD 600 headphones which I'm using with a 12,5 year old M-Audio Delta 44 sound card and a Behringer HA4700 headphone amp. I used to make music with this setup but nowadays I'm just gaming (Battlefield 4).   I'm considering getting a gaming sound card like the...
