Roger Shah's - Openminded!?   If you like melodic trance and club mixes this release is pretty surreal. Purchased it this morning and been listening to it ever since...  

Hi Guys.    I got my Tubes swapped with the 6n1p and it's been pretty sweet so far. I think I got some noisy tubes originally. Like Mad Lust Envy and jamato8, I found the Grado very sensitive and they picked up instantly a slight hiss (almost inaudible) on my mine. I guess this is expected...

Rainy Sydney night. Candles in tow and listening to Romanza.  

Just bought and losslessed the new Above & Beyond album Group Therapy. http://www.aboveandbeyond.nu/. Listening via Schiit Lyr, Maverick Audio D1 and HE-500. If there is a Audio Heaven on Earth, I am hearing it...  

Hi Guys.    It ended up being a dodgy pair of tubes. When I switched the tubes, the static started changing channels.  Swapped with an alternative set of tubes and this has been resolved.    Have a good one. HF

The time is 11.30 PM Aussie time. I wanted to document my experience as a passionate music lover novice wannabe Audiophile. Recently I put and order in for a new set of cans and an accompanying head amp to match. I needed something that I could use to adapt and mish mash with my current...

Thanks Guys. I just tried again and I can hear the fuzz coming back. My brother had a listen and reckons it's more prominent in the right ear. I will contact the distributor where I am located. Any ideas?

Hi Mate.    Sounds like both channels. I can hear fuzz in both. I tried swapping tubes and all but still the same. Sounds like both have fuzz. My TubeMagic is just silent if I plug my headphones into it...   ?   Wasn't the best surprise.   Cheers, HF

Hi Guys,    I need some advice. I just received my Schiit Lyr amp as well as my HiFiMAN HE-500. Such a nice combo package.  Anyhow I'm having some issues with alot of static noise coming out of my headphones. I haven't used the HiFiMAN HE-500 yet, but just testing with my Grado SR325is...

I was in the same scenario. I agree, just do it. I'm anxiously waiting for mine to arrive. 

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I'm liking the Schiit Lyr atm.   Quote:  

Hi Guys,   I just pulled the trigger and ordered one of these as a birthday present for myself. Any advice on what headamp to use? I'm currently using my Maverick Audio DAC TubeMagic D1.  Thanks in adv. Hope they rock.     HF

Hi All.   Quick question. Can the D1 drive power hungry headphones e.g. HiFiMan HE 5 LE? I'm thinking of getting the HiFiMan cans and not sure whether I need to reconfigure my current setup to suit? Sounds like an expensive gesture.   Thanks in adv. HF

Thanks All for the replies. Yes the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 does have a Pre Amp Output and Audio Output (see diagram). Apologies for hijacking the thread. Just not sure when it comes to driving high quality headphones. Always get confused I'm messing up the source by layering and all in one...

I can bring my Audio-Technica QuitePoint ATH-ANC7b, Grado SR 325is. I only had a entry level DAC/Head Amp and I'm still learning.   Only a wannabe audiophile atm. I have an eclectic music collection though. I am on the verge of purchasing a new set of cans i.e. the HiFiMAN HE 5 LE but not...

Hi Guys.   Recent newbie. I'm interested in attending and meeting some people. I live in the Croydon Park area. How do I get myself on the guest list?   Cheers, HiFidelity

Amazing what these posts drum up. I was just about the ask the same question. I'm about to buy the same headphones and I've currently got a Maverick Audio Tubemagic D1...

Hi All.   This place is a treasure trove of knowledge and good stuff. I love it. Big thanks to all your guys in advance firstly. I really am digging and feeling the passion and enthusiasm.   I'm in the market to a large full sized can to add to what I'm currently using. I've been using...
