What eq app do you use? I'm looking for one for iOS iPhone? I just sold my beats solo and ordered backbeats pro to replace them, what do I have to look forward too!

do you have the link for the used Mk2's?

I see you have the momentum 2.0 are they AE around ear? How do they compare to the mk2 you like so much?

The BBP are over $100 cheaper , I would compare the mk2 to the momentum 2.0 or the Dennon BT headphones?

My tube buffer with the Voskod "rocket" is very special. I tried more expensive tubes and I agree those colored the Adam sound to much. The main point though is Adam has great monitors and we all agree on that. I am also looking at S3x V down the road but not right now since it took me this long...

I agree whole heartily I've often wondered where the Adam users are or if I was imaging what I'm hearing.

Sorry I'm on the ass end of this but which amp?

I have my beloved TD-11 on the selling block as we type, pass the word ;D

Grant TD-11 for sale with upgrade tubes included!!!

Can't wait i'm moving things around to get the same combo too.

It never rains in So Calif but today, it brought the dreamer in me out. +1 to starting one :wink:!

You may be right while listening to my favorite Bill Evans hi-res I noticed some hot spots. A friend did some test with LCD-3's going from Burston to TD-11 and heard the same sizzle. What do you think about the Uber/Lyr combo as a preamp and HP amp for active monitors/HE-500? If I make this...

Flysweep, off topic but what do you think about the uber Bitfrost dac/Lyr combo replacing the TD-11? If I wanted the same tube flavor for my studio monitors and HP. I can't find any direct dac comparisons but the uber-Bitfrost does compare favorably against other more higher end dacs. How...

Is it the mono OP627 adapter height?  I understand you have to put spacers to reattach the acrylic plate?  Any other installation issues I should be aware of?  Im not a DIY type with tools and such!!     EF-5 smoothness with 500's doesn't mean tremble roll-off or lack of detail does it?  ...

+1. I do the same thing because fans of certain brands or models can't be objective sometime.

That sounds like a better version of the smoothness I'm getting from my TD-11 SS out. I need more power though it starts breaking up a 3 o'clock, it's only 600mw @ 32ohm. The EF-5 I understand has 2w @ 32ohm so that should put me back at 12 o'clock for semi high volume listening? It's half the...

I'm out of this Schiit, cuz I don't wanta start no Schiit !! Thanks for that :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Absolutely with change in my pocket!! When I looked at that potential mini-x sitting on my desktop and remembered why I have active monitor in the first place. I don't want racks of Schiit (I love that name) like my music room looked like in the old days (80's), album crates, later cd racks...

While waiting for my HE-500's to arrive I became so jazzed and whipped into upgrade/forum mode. After chasing all the options, Lyr, Mini-x, EF-5 and others with tubes and opamp upgrades. I'm just listening to my current setup with the 500's and I really like the sound. So I'm going to sit tight...

Anybody have a real comparison between mini-x vs Lyr with the orthos?

Is the cable on these a good match with the stock HE-550 SPC cable?

That's what I'm hearing a nice smooth and warm sound, I am just questioning power issues and getting full potential from the 500's. If I had this sound with 2w or so I'd be happy, that's why I started looking a SS amps not just tubes after hearing TD-11 SS. I didn't know It was the TD-11, I...

Hey guys where can I get a female 1/4 plug to speaker tap adapter with SPC cable similar to 500 stock cable?

Thanks guys for the speaker tap education! I get it now, back in my analog/tower days I always had a x2 minimum channel power to speaker max rating for low level detail. If I get the mini-x I can go tube out from DAC > mini-x and have best of both worlds! Thanks

How many watts is the Emotiva mini pushing into let's say the HE-500's? Update: I did a calculation and I think it's about 10 watts into 38 ohm. That's a heck of a lot of power for 1 watt recommended phones. I smell smoke!!! :scream:
