It’s been a while since I’ve been around but some of you long time users might remember me. I’m back with another review! This time I had the pleasure of receiving a demo unit of the Lehman Audio Linear. The Linear is a solid state amp producing 400mw into 60 ohms and 200mw into 200 ohms. If...

Anyone have a comparison between at least 2/3? Which would you recommend? They'll be paired with a Beresford Caiman II DAC and a Cavalli CTH

Hey,   Can anyone who's heard both comment on sonic differences between the two? Thanks

So after a long journey, I finally got my first flagship - the HE-6. And they're perfect - I've never heard treble with that perfect amount of sparkle or bass that keeps extending that low or so much clarity before. But there's one problem - they don't have the immediacy and euphoric...

So I want to power my Bushmaster MKII and Temple Audio Bantam Gold via battery power. I'm looking at one of these external batteries. It looks like it only has one DC out so I'd need some sort of splitter. Both the Bushmaster and the Temple Audio have 2.1mm power ins. Which sort of cables would...

If you could pick two flagships that can be had used for $2000 or less i.e. any combo of the HD800, T1, LCD-2, HE-6, or HE-500 that have complementing sound signatures (in this case opposite ish for some variety) which 2 would you pick?

Currently I have a lot of variety in my setup with this   Headphones:   Denon D2000 AKG K702 Grado SR80I Sennheiser HD650 AKG K240 Sextett   Amps Project Ember O2   Dac ODAC   My question is do you think it would be worth it to sell off all of the headphones except the HD650s in...

I'm looking to take the next step as far as amps and was wondering if I should go for the Bijou or something like one of Woo or Decware's 1k ish options? 

Amps are the O2 and Project Ember. Dac is an odac. My current headphone inventory is the Grado SR80I, AKG K702 and K240 Sextett, Denon D2000, and a modded set of Fostex T50RPs. I'm looking for something different than the headphones that I have with no real preference of sound sig. Price isn't a...

I was told by a user in the Schiit Magni thread that sound science readers might have a few questions about my review which will be below and was asked to post it here.   There have been a lot of questions around here about the o2 vs magni so here are my impressions of the two. Excuse the...

Hey all,   This is going to be a review of the Project Ember. I'll start with a general product introduction and then the review itself. The photography takes a variations on a theme approach with versions of an image edited in different fashions. I hope you like it as well as the review...

Hey,    I'm Chris and this thread has a few purposes. First is related to hi-fi - I've started reviewing things on a blog and would like to put the content here and a centralized place to do it is going to be necessary since I plan on putting content out every other day. Second is that I'm...

After upgrading  my dac to the ODAC and amps to the O2 and Project Ember, next on my list are new sets of cans. I currently own the Grado SR80I, modded Fostex T50RP, AKG K702, AKG K240 Sextett, and Denon D2000. I'm thinking one of two options in the future for purchases   A) Get the Senn...

I can't find a thread that compares both. Thanks

I'm in the process of redoing my entire amp collection and a non hybrid tube amp is the next thing on the list. I know that the La Figaro 332C, Darkvoice 336 SE and Musical Paradise MP-301 have gotten good reviews - what else is out there and how is it? I'm looking for something that sounds...

Both in a general sense and in a more specific one. I'm currently using a dac destroyer and was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to a Schiit Modi or ODAC. Another possibility would be waiting until I get more money to upgrade straight to something like the Peachtree Dac-It. Which do you...

First of all thanks to RHA Audio for sending me a set of these to sample   You can find them on their website here   http://www.rha-audio.com/us/earphones/ma350.html   or on Amazon here   www.amazon.com/RHA-MA-350-Aluminium-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B0053R0WWG   A couple some...

What sonic differences can I expect between the two models? I own the I+ and am looking for something with a warmer, more lush, more stereotypical tubey sound to complement it and was wondering if the MK II fits the bill.

I'm looking for a closed set since they can't leak much sound and won't be used in a super quiet environment. They will most likely be used unamped so something competent without one would be nice although I would also like there to be some nice improvement with an amp as I own two, just not in...

I thought this would be kind of fun to do. I'll start   Headphones AKG K702 Denon D2000 Grado SR80i Sennheiser HD-280 pro Fostex T50RP (soon to be modded to BMF spec)     Amps   Fiio E9 Little Dot i+ with Mullard and Vokshod tubes   DAC   Fiio E7 DAC destroyer...

Little Dot mkiii, Little Dot i+, Bellari HA540. I'm looking to know the differences as far as sound quality. Even if you've only listened to one of these i'd like to hear your impressions on the sound. I'm open to tube rolling. Source will be FLAC or 320 kbps mp3 through foobar with an Odac...

So I'll be getting  Bellari HA540 soon and a new DAC seems like a good idea to get with it. I'm looking at the HRT Music Streamer II, the DAC Destroyer, ODAC and the Nuforce UDac. Which one would be the best? Source is the usb port of a laptop with mostly 320 kbps and flac music. Phones are...

Anyone have any recommendations for tubes? My phones are the AKG K702, Grado SR80i, and Denon D2000. I'm looking with two sets with different sound signatures. Also for a budget I'd say $50 for both sets. The type of tube would be an ecc83/12ax7

So I'm looking at hybrid amps for my phones since i have a solid state and decided I want to dabble in the tube sound without sacrificing power and I'm looking at these 3. If you think that these 3 would not be the best for my phones and there is some better hybrid amp that is $300 or below then...

So I own the AKG K702, Denon D2000 and Grado SR80i. I have a budget of 400-500 dollars for an amp and dac. My files are mostly 320 kpbs or flac. I have a couple of questions.   1) For this price range do I get the best performance out of my phones from a tube or solid state? I am willing to...
