I bought the hd600 almost 6 years ago because the reviews were not only great, but the consensus was that as your components improve you can get more and more out of them. I've made a lot of changes over the years and with every change the 600's sound better and better. I don't believe I'm...

I have Denon d7000's on the way. For the time being I'll be using my mpx3. At some point I'll buy another amp, but I'd like some advice on tubes to use until that happens. I have 6sn7, vt-231, 6f8g, 7119 and 5687. I've been using a tung sol 6f8g in front of two amperex 7119 with my hd600's. I'm...

anyone know how to get in touch with Ori? Thanks.

I have four tubes (three black glass, one clear glass) and they all have differently shaped mica. Even the two round plate tubes that I have. Any significance to the different mica shapes?

for my mpx3 Boy do I hate waiting..... I also have amperex 7119 and tung sol 5687 black plate d getters on the way. I'm curious if anyone, after trying slam tubes, went back to the 6sn7's. also if there are other tubes I should definitely try.

I've had shure e3c's for a number of years. I've always used them at the gym or on an airplane. I never noticed a hiss before, but I put them on in my office today and it was noticeable and annoying. Are all iem's like this? Anything I can do to get rid of the hiss?

I started my journey 4 1/2 years ago with HD600's and the Headsave Classic. The Headsave has been sitting in my closet for a long time. I didn't need it and felt no need to get rid of it. I recently started getting an itch to put together a rig for my bedroom. While I'm figuring that out I...

I read about it in the massive review of (seemingly) all portable amp/dacs, but I haven't seen any other impressions. anyone else try it?

I'm listening to Kind of Blue and my 5 year old just walked into my office. I asked him if he wanted to listen to some of the best music ever. He said he did so I put my headphones on him and he immediately started swaying with the music. Then he whispered "why aren't they singing?" 5 year olds...

Just wondering what the characteristics of different brands are. I've only had a few minutes with my new rca tube (and adapter) but my first impression is very favorable.

With the same headphones, same DAC, same amp, and same interconnects should there be a noticeable difference when the music is played via a computer (ripped lossless) or via a cd in a cd player?

I've owned an OMZ v4.1 since the beginning of this year. I have briefly written about my experiences with this DAC previously, but I will repeat that I have been ecstatic. My journey was from no external dac, to an emu 0404, to the OMZ. The results have been breath-taking. The breadth and depth...

I have a singlepower mpx3. Today, for the first time, I started hearing static-- in both channels. I turned everything off, replaced all of the tubes and after turning it back on and waiting a few minutes I still am hearing static. any ideas would be appreciated.

I just read an article in The Economist about Mahler's 2nd conducted by Gilbert Kaplan. The article mentioned a recording made in Cardiff in 1985. Anyone know where I can buy a copy of that recording? thanks.

After a multi-year journey I have found satisfaction. lossless music>vlc media player>OMZ>MPX3>HD600. There isn't anything about my music that I feel a need to 'fix.' However, I don't love always having to wear headphones and I'm a little curious what kind of quality I could find for an office...

I haven't even had ten minutes to listen to it yet, but I've been looking forward to this upgrade for a long time. I upgraded from EMU 0404 USB. I'll take more time for a real comparison after I've had more time to listen, but so far I would describe the OMZ as having a substantially wider and...

I have Time Out, Time Further Out, and Jazz at Oberlin. What else should I own?

The question is 'If I'm willing to spend $300-$500 on a dac, what should I buy and what improvement will I notice over my emu0404 usb? There is an amazing amount of information for people who want to find 'better' headphones and an equally astounding amount of information for people who want...

Where will I get the biggest improvement? 1) emu0404 usb > OMZ 2) lunchbox2 > darkvoice 337 the rest of the setup: imac>vlc media player(lossless)>emu0404>lb2>hd600 I listen almost entirely to jazz. Thank you

My current setup: imac>vlc media player(lossless)>emu 0404 usb>lunchboxII>hd600 I like what I have, but I'd also like to move up the ladder. I've been considering a darkvoice 337 ($650) but I'm wondering if I'd be better off buying the darkvoice 332, selling the 0404, and spending $400-$500...

copied from a website "And now another one of Sony’s standards has bitten the dust. When Sony re-engineered the PS3 to make it cheaper to manufacture (the 40Gb model) they took a lot out. Most famously backwards compatibility to PS2. It also lost it’s memory card reader and two USB ports. But...

I'm considering upgrading, but I'd love to hear from people who have made the switch and what improvements they've noticed.

I'm ready for a second amp. I have the arietta, which I am very happy with. I want a tube amp, but one that will offer a sound signature that is going to be very different from the arietta (obviously, in a good way). I use hd600 exclusively. I also use emu 0404 DAC. Budget around $500. I...

every time I try to attach a photo to a post I get a message that the file is too big. What is the easiest way to fix that? Thanks.
