I don't understand how one decides between tubes for amps, but I'm thinking of picking up the Lyr for the fact that people seem to really enjoy this amp. What tubes would be best for a slightly warmer sound? Or maybe a more open soundstage if possible?   Sadly, I was only very impressed with...

So I purchased the Ifi amp to go along with my Audeze LCD-2's. (Rev 2, pre fazor) and I'm having problems with the amp. It has multiple leds to tell me the quality the amp is pushing out. For example, when connected to a laptop and using spotify, the amp has a cyan led that means 176/192khz...

So, I decided on buying the Audeze LCD-2's. Currently I'm running the ATH-ESW9A's with the Fiio E11 amp on my iPod. Now,I'm thinking the max I want to spend is about $1100. I found the lcd 2's at Razordog audio for $795 as part of a one day deal and added it to my cart before they went back up...

I plan on pulling the trigger on these cans. But it's a lot of money, so i want to do it right. I'm thinking of the objective2 amp custom (want an added bass knob) Swapping the cable, though i don't know what kind. Questions: I need to know how well of a difference these will make over my ath...

Open or closed. I couldn't care if they seal well or not (though sometimes it would be nice). I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH ESW9A's that I run off of a Fiio E11 (I am looking to upgrade to an E18, but that might not seem right for an iPod, which is my main source of music so I might want...

Let me start, I love how buttery smooth these headphones. It has a relaxing sound to it.   However, I'm looking for a new set of cans. Preferably something fast and punchy. High clarity would be appreciated, open or closed. I'm running my set off of the Fiio E11.   I want them for...

I mean purely in sound. 250 or 80 OHM's

Currently I have an iPod Nano with a FiiO E3 amp and my Esw9a's. These are good portable headphones, but I want to upgrade my amp at the least. I know I need to make sure my music quality is better as well, but I have some High KBPS songs on my ipod that sound really well. I'm mainly a dubstep...

I'll be using these mainly at school, so portability is nice, although i wouldn't mind lugging around the a900x's assuming they don't become too fatiguing. I don't have the option of trying out either pair before I buy, although i can return them if I must. Sound leakage should be minimal which...
