    Esound E5 in a form of a DAC

    I once auditioned the Esound E5 Sig edition. I was in love with this CDP, really, for it's price I think he gives a knockout. The thing is I am not a person of CD's. I stream my music from my PC. I wonder whether there is a DAC which can bring a similar result/character but as a...

    ECC32/33 as a replacement for 6SN7, worth the $$ ?

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone here tried ECC32/33 as replacement for 6SN7 ? After switching from 5687 to Mullard E182CC, I started thinking about the Mullard ECC32/33. Maybe it's just MPX3, but I really like their sound and quality. The difference with the output was too big for me...

    Amping the W5000 questions

    Hey guys, I was thinking about the optimal Amplification for my W5000. I feel the MPX3 has too much wasted power on them, as they are (very) low impedance headphones. I tried various tube rolling, the differences are subtle IMO. I was thinking about auditioning an amp which will excel with...

    ATH W5000 Vs. W11JPN

    I was wondering, how does the W11JPN compare to the AT W5000(which I own) in terms of sound quality and signature, sensitivity to the source, amplification gain and comfort. Do they have the same issue as the W5000 on small/narrow heads ? giving loose fit and poor isolation ? from the...

    Anyone tried SB3->power amp setup ?

    Hey all SB3/Headfier users. I was just thinking, the SB3 can serve as a preamp, which I read is not bad at all at that department. Did anyone try using it straight to a power amp ? I know it's very hard with Headphones as I don't think there are Headphones Power AMP, except for the Jan...

    ESound E5 - before I pull the trigger

    I am just about to pull the trigger on the Esound E5 (European 220v Version) I heard it when I visited sacd_lover, but it wasn't the exact conifguration as mine (MPX3 SLAM SE->HD595). I liked it, because I also heared it on his speaker rig, so I was more confident about the source, but still...
