Damn, Bose 35 ii sound great. Best low impedance headphones I heard and best for listening on the go from a phone. Better sounding than Beyerdynamic DT770 32ohm or Custom One which are 16ohm. They sound close to well powered high impedance headphones.

Guys, I'm not an expert but when you open a vintage receiver there are a few more fuses inside as well.

Hi Thx for this. I am skeptical though. I have a real problem now with power. When I power on my PC into the same power grid in the room I get high pitched modulated electrical noise in all audio equipment connected nearby, it's like hearing hdd working in all speakers and headphones. The...

Hi guys, I just tested my newly bought Yamaha CR-1000 Receiver from 1975 side by side with Phonitor Mini and Little Dot MKII Amp. With 250ohm and 600ohm Beyerdynamic headphones. Source from Meier Corda DAC and DACMagic. Test Results:   Detail Yamaha wins, Bass Yamaha on top, Treble...

I don't have low impedance headphones. This amp has around 0.1ohm on output that bodes well for low impedance high sensitivity headphones.

I use Beyerdynamic DT990 premium 250 ohm usually. I don't think the full features of big Phonitor are worth the price difference and the bulkiness.  

Nobody did :) I used to have Phonitor 1, now have Phonitor 2 mini, sounds the same to me. I'm happy with the small size though. take care Andy

So the tubes arrived. C3G do not much my Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones at all, bass is bloated and poorly controlled, Voshod perform much better, also they (c3g) don't sound much off some bassy ef95 tubes. it's my problem with beyerdynamic DT770/880/990 cans that most tubes make them sound too...

Hi   Some people claim there's a huge sound improvement to the Plus model with better PSU. I wonder how much of snakeoil is in that?   I have Dacmagic Plus with its original psu.  I also bought the old Dacmagic with a bulky replacement psu, I don't know if it affects sound but it produces...

I also connected DC adaptor from Dacmagic Plus to the old Dacmagic, but it must be a lesser crime for it has survived :) Honestly, you don't hear such stories very often here, do you?

Well thx but it's still on warranty so maybe they will fix it for free, if it's not obvious what I did.

OK, I have a vague idea about it. So I fed Dacmagic Plus from AC adaptor and f@c%ed it up. Will they find out at the repair shop that I am a stupid ass as it's still on warranty?

Hi I connected my maple psu 12V 3A to my Dacmagic Plus rated 12V 2A and I never heard from it again. I had used and I am still using the maple psu with my old Dacmagic (non plus) that is rated lower 12V 1.5A.  Have I burnt my DAcmagic plus with the maple psu?

OK, thx Just ordered a pair of c3g and 6SN7 with all adapters. I took 6SN7 vintage Sylvania nice looking black plate, chrome top, moderately priced, I doubt they affect quality really so want them to be lookers :)

So I think of using 6SN7s as power tubes on adapters and with them c3g as drivers on appropriate adapters as well. Could you please confirm it's sensible and no other devices are needed to make it work? I am a bit afraid that it is all overkill for headphones and those tubes are rather for...

thx So I should rather think of using 6SN7s as power tubes on adapter and with them c3g as drivers on appropriate adapter as well. Regards Andy

OK   But how do they sound comparing to High Quality ef95/91/92? To make it simple I put them in order of bass amount from bassiest to the thinnest: EF95 Mullard military > EF95 Russian 80's gold/platinium plate > EF92 Mullard military  Where do c3g fit in in terms of amount of bass?   Or...

Hi   I feed analog signal from 2 RCA output sockets of a DAC into the small input jack socket of a portable headphone amplifier using 2 RCA into the small jack cable. I noticed that I have to connect the cable Left RCA to Right socket and Right RCA to Left socket to have the correct right and...

I guess it's very subjective, but I think most people prefer DT770. Beyer also marketed  the line DT770/DT880/DT990 as the most refined before the super expensive T1 and so on came along. You say you like treble more than of DT770 80ohm, to me both give no treble to talk about :) , treble...

DT150 is just not a very good headphone mate :) , it is sturdy and looks cool but it's behind in sound after other only slightly pricier Beyer cans. But to show off to friends I could not justify keeping them. Interesting thing is also that ears do not touch the sponges in DT150, I mean with...

What a satanic idea to compare these 2 headphones. I had most Beyerdynamic headphones. DT150 are the darkest sounding of them, the driver is the same as in DT250 I think. I had DT150 250ohm.The extension of treble was lower than in DT770 80ohm. DT150 250ohm < DT770 80ohm < DT770 250ohm  in...

and I think maybe it's dirty ceramic sockets, not easy to clean them though.

Hi,   I have hums from Little Dot MKII only with EF95 valves. I have two MKII amps and the other one is ok with the same valves (I have many valves to test with as well, when I replace with next EF95 pair it's ok at first then the humming gets back) . Also the humming almost disappears when I...
