sad day. just lost 1 of my matched 1957 ecc88 amperex bugle boys small crack on the bottom led to air leak. rip friend

Welcome back to our old friend.The hd 650. i have spent ungodly sums of money on my hobby(wife calls it obsession ) to get that 1 perfect sound,but after countless combos ,I still come back to these cans my ears arent golden by far and im not a can snoot by any means ,but i can honestly say...

thanks for the info guy's i appreciate it and kramer 5150 is right i am happy with my setup overall as i started with a fiio e7-e9 combo and some beyer 770's many moons ago i just feel that my system as it is now,the 650's are  the bottle neck and that there has to be something out there that...

my current equipment consists of titanium hd spdif > bitfrost > lyr >hd 650 im happy with the way it is now except for the senn's i just dont get enough bottom end from them  (slam ) i listen to mostly rock,some country,alternative---- i want something louder ,more energy,more slam----- if i...

just a warning,dont drop your cans  the other day my wife said she was in my office and saw my cans on the floor ( i assume it was one of my kids---wasntme and idontknow ) since it was christmas i didnt bother to check them and figured they were okay as my desk is only like 4 feet tall today...

great tip,1 of my drivers was popped up now reseated i couldnt figure out what was wrong with my cans sound now its where it was before thanxs

proud schiit owner i have a lyr rolled (of course) amperex heerlen orange globes paired with a bitfrost feeding my hd 650"s to my old ears this pairing is like audio nirvana  

yes this is my soundcard in my tower i have it hooked up with rca  to my schiit lyr   if i bought a bitfrost would i just bypass the soundcard and jack into usb or ???? kinda new at this sorry

ok, i'm not real bright on this subject so here goes i have my system set up as thus   foobar>creative titanium hd >lyr>hd650's what im confused about is isnt a dac the same thing as the creative titanium hd? i've got the scratch to buy a bitfrost but do i need one,would it be overkill or...

i just ordered my second set myself (1st 6n1p) amperex 6dj8/ ecc88 a frame orange globe/heerlen 1970   hope they sound good

i am going to get a dac for my system but i dont know which to get ? my system would look like this   foobar 2000>burson da-160>schiit lyr>hd650   foobar 2000 >bitfrost>lyr>hd650   my budget is (top end ) 1000.00 heres my dilemma,i like the reviews on the burson but the price is...

thanks for the input people,it's appreciated i just bought a schiit lyr and i ordered a set of 6bz7 tubes from the valhalla to go into it and so far i am pleased with the sound coming through my hd650's. ive been pouring over this site a lot lately looking for info on the different types...

sorry to be asking such dumb questions but im a noob when it comes to tubes im just wondering if you have a tube amp (schiit lyr) do you have to have a matching set of tubes in it or can you mix and match different tubes? any imput would be welcome

yeah,im going to use the fiio e7 with lod to the amp for now ,was told to expect shipping to start on aug31 with prepays getting first units

 i just ordered a schiit lyr and bitfrost with usb for my desktop was just wondering if anybody has this setup running into hd650's  and what i can expect for sound i was running my 650's from an e7-e9 combo but i thought it was a little lean on the power and low on the bottom end hoping i...
