Vocals seem louder on my left ear
I doubt it is my equipment since even if I reverse my phones I still at least imagine that I hear the vocals (easiest to detect) more on my left side. I havent had time to try a mono test sound but I will soon, any link to where I can find one?- Vain

Vocals seem louder on my left ear
Hi! As the topic says I think that the vocals seem louder on my left ear, I have tried several phones and also reversed them but with the same results. So I figured I might just have better hearing on my left ear but then I asked my wife and she also thought the left side was louder so that got...- Vain

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
I just bought a new pair of tubes, Mullard M8161 and I noticed that the vocals are much stronger (louder?) on the left side. I tried to switch the tubes around but no difference and I did remember to move the pins to EF92. Is this something that evens out as they burn in or is something wrong?- Vain

Nuforce Icon HDP as DAC only, which volume?
Hey! I have searched the forums but haven't found an answer. I am connecting my iMac -> Optical -> Nuforce -> RCA out -> LD Mk III and am wondering if I am supposed to max the volume on the HDP or control it from there since it doesn't have a fixed output.- Vain

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
Hey all! I am really sorry if this has been answered but there is 158 pages to go through, easy to miss some info! I have a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900 and am wondering if anyone have tested which tubes works good with them? They can be a bit harsh on the treble and have somewhat recessed...- Vain

Nuforce Icon HDP vs Little Dot Mk III vs ?
I went with the Mk III because it feels I get more for my money and it also means I can afford a pair of Denon AH-D7000 in the near future.- Vain

Nuforce Icon HDP vs Little Dot Mk III vs ?
I know the Nuforce isnt the greatest amp out there but it is small and I heard it's DAC is really good for the money so I bought it with that in mind knowing I would replace the Amp part pretty soon. I want to spend at most 300 on a new amp, so with that in mind both of those options you gave is...- Vain

Nuforce Icon HDP vs Little Dot Mk III vs ?
Hey! I have a a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900 (partly Kees modded) that I currently drive with a Nuforce Icon HDP. The problem is that I find the sound just a tad bit too bright (harsh, s:es can be a bit painful depending on the song) and I have understood that both the phones and the Nuforce is a...- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
I am still checking in from time to time yes =) They have burned in for roughly 70 hours now and I have to say it has gotten better! I haven't tried them with anything else than the HDP yet since I am burning them both in but I have a Denon reciever that I will try and I'll post what I find.- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
Doubtful since I have opened them, but I will let them burn in for another 100 - 150 hours and then see, I can just EQ them in the worst case scenario =)- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
I have modded them and I still think they have a touch of sibilance. Do you think a warmer amp connected to the Icon would make a difference and in that case which amp would you suggest?- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
Maybe a lack of body, a bit of sibilance and a touch of shrillness (not alot) is a better explanation. I will try to put a bit of felt in them, but I also want them to be at least almost completely burned in before. How do I open them, just pull off the ear pads (sorry, english isnt my native...- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
I know but a week will give an indication of what they will sound like when fully burned in, also as far as I know Kees mod wont affect the thin sound?- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
So they will never lose that thin sound then? I thought I read aomewhere that they have a warm sound, but I might remember wrong. I'll give them a week to impress me or I'll return them then. Cheers!- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
Oh, I have read in multiple places that pink noise is awesome for burning in phones! I will switch to music then and give it a week, as it is it sounds good but not as good as one would think considering they cost a fair bit.- Vain

Ultrasone Pro 900, thin sound?
Hey! I just bought a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900 (as you probably could have guessed from the topic) and I am pairing them with a Nuforce Icon HDP. I have only burned them in for about 13 hours with pink noise, but at the moment they sound pretty thin on all songs (well except for the bass which...- Vain

Amp in bluetooth device
Hi! I am wondering, if you connect lets say a J3 with a SE MW600 and then connect an amp into the MW, (and then ofc your phones into that) would that give the same effect as if you connected the amp directly into the J3?- Vain
