    NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S

      This is welcome news for me.  I am just looking for a full size headphone with a balanced sound, and $300 is pretty much my budget right now.  Thanks for the early impressions.

    Anyone got this running on an android using a battery pack yet?

    Someone posted this a while back, but will this kind of cable allow you to cut out the usb hub and just connect the battery and the fulla to your S3?   http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Power-Samsung-AtomicMarket/dp/B009YPYORM?tag=androidcentral00-20

    Well, I guess I will have to wait and see if some else tries the fulla with their phone.  As for the Android issue, i don't have any first hand knowledge, but various forum discussions regarding the Nexus 5 have kept me from buying an usb based amp for my phone:   From an article: "If you've...

    I am hoping this is not the case.  I am hoping to use a fulla with my Nexus 5, now that the new Android version supports audio via usb.  A lot of portable amps use a 9v battery and last for 10 - 20 hours.  Anyone know for sure?

    V-MODA XS: A first look at the new V-MODA XS with Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV

    Well I was able to sell the M50's tonight and I pulled the trigger on the black XS from the headphonebar.  So I guess I'll see what the difference is in a few days.

    V-MODA XS: A first look at the new V-MODA XS with Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV

    @blackcoffee:  thanks for the reply.  I'm pretty sure I am going to roll the dice on the xs.  The small form factor alone will work well for travel and the office.  I had a buyer for my M50's today, but it fell through, so I may be a couple more weeks.   @Tom22:  What is it you are not liking...

    V-MODA XS: A first look at the new V-MODA XS with Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV

    Has anyone made the leap from ATH-M50 to the v-moda XS?    I've had the m50 for about 6 months and I have just totally fallen out of love with them.  They sound dull and veiled to me now.   I am wondering if the overall sound of the XS are "better" than the m50 or just on par with them.

    Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling

      I'm really surprised to hear that.  2 of the OP amps that I have are the OPA2107 and the LM4562, with the 2107 being the one I prefer.  I thought it brough out a lot of the detail in the songs and opened things up.  I think I'll try throwing the LM4562 back in for a week or so.  I remember it...

    Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling

    And now I remember why I swung by the thread in the first place:   Has anyone been able to compare the NE-408a to the WE-408a tubes?  Are they actually the same?

    Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling

    I respectfully disagree, or would at least say that op amps can have just as a dramatic effect as tubes.   I only have one set of tubes besides the stock ones, and using them sounds "different" than the stock tubes.... but I ordered 3 different op amps from TI (for free) and those were all...

    New hybrid amp by Little Dot, I+

      Thanks John.  I ended up swapping it out with a second adapter I had kicking around.  I spent an hour listening, and everything was fine.  I noticed some black smudge like marks on the first adapter, so I assume it needs to be cleaned.   Does anyone clean the port on the little dot?

    New hybrid amp by Little Dot, I+

    Hello fellow LD fans.  I am having a problem with crackling and distortion on my setup.   I have narrowed it down to the headphone jack and/or the adapter.   I am using Grado sr80i's with an adapter on my LD i+.  Yesterday I was getting a crackling here and there while I was using it.  At...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Quote: Thanks for the feedback on those amps pallentx.  The Lyr was a little more than I wanted to spend, although not out the question.  It seemed like overkill for my needs pumping 6w into 32 ohm.  Especially since I am just looking to check out tube sound vs adding any real power.  I...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Is anyone else running a Shiit Vahalla with their Grado's?   I am really interested in this amp, but have read that it is not a super match for lower impedance cans, as well as being more neutral than other tube amps.  I'd love to hear from a few people that are using a Valhalla with...

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    So I have been drooling over this T1 amp since christmas and I was just about to pull the trigger.  But I just hit a snag: I just figured out that if I run my ipod to the amp via the line out I won't actually be using the tube part of the amp?   What  is it that all you guys are running to...
