Hey all, I have my Little Dot II for a good few years but recently it developed a bad left channel (no sound). I swapped tubes and the right channel still works so that rules out the tubes themselves. So it could be a number of things but does anyone know if anyone repairs these? I can't...

      It is 16 feet in length.  Is it worth anything?  Clearing my house out and forgot I had this.   Thanks Ian

I'm looking for a USB DAC but all I seem to see are DAC/Head Amps.  I have no need for an Amp and just want the DAC.  I don't want to spend more than $200.  I have a DAC Destroyer already.  Is this as good as I can do given my limited funds?  My amp is a headroom amp which I like a lot.  Please...

I need to get back into  Electrostatic headphones.  Budget can only stretch to $400 right now.  Anyone know of anywhere to get good deals on Stax or Koss Electrostatics?  Used is ok by me.  I've been stalking the forums but nothing is coming up.

On a plane which works better, IEM or noise cancelling headphones?  Going to Florida soon and not sure which ones to take with me.

Sort of a strange question I know.  But besides comparing price point which is not always accurate, which model of Grado is at the level of detail and overall quality of the HD600 or for that matter K701?   I guess I'm asking how high up in the line do I need to go to have a similar level of...

Hi all,   I have approx $300 to spend.  Besides the Sennheiser 650 what is the best headphone for Acoustic music.  Really looking for airy and wide soundstage.  Comfort is an issue as well as I will wear them for hours on end at work. Used is ok too.   Thanks!

I have the SR-80 Pros paired with the SRM-Xs amp.  I believe that any Pro bias amp will also drive them?  Is this true?  Would they get any benefit from an upgrade in amplifier??   Thanks so much, Ian

My main headphones are Stax SR-80 Pro.  I like them a lot for most music.  Not perfect by any means.  I bought a pair of M50 as I was in need of closed headphones for certain times at work.  The Stax do not have a big soundstage at all.  i know the M50 are not going to have much soundstafge...

Hi all, I find myself in need of new work headphones. I'm looking for something closed with good bass but with decent soundstage. Does it exist and for less than $300?? I used to own Grado SR60, DT770, HD580, SRXMKIII for reference. Thanks Ian

So which headphones are best for bass extension? I don't mean BOOM, I mean accurate balanced bass. The headphones I have listened to are SR60, DT770, HD600, ESP950, SR202, yamaha YHD-2. I prefer the YHD-2 for bass.

My history with headphones is Grado SR60 -> DT770 -> SRX-MKIII -> SR202 -> HD600 -> ESP950 I liked the SRX-MKIII a lot but very uncomfortable and no soundstage. The HD600 were great. The SR202 were technically very good, very accurate but not foot tapping. Not very involving at all. And...

So I understand the basics I think. If I had $2-300 to spend where should I look? What brand is recommended?? I like something that doesn't go too deep in ear as well. Thanks Ian

Tyll, Do you have any plans to add crossfeed to your DACS? I ask this as I am a proud owner of a pair of Koss 950s which has its own amp/energizer. I however have very fond memories of listening with my old headroom amp ('97 I think). Ian

Does anyone own one of these? The price is tempting especially with the option to go balanced output for my HD600. If anyone has heard this amp what would it compare to? Thanks

Hi all, i've been really happy listening to my STAX SR-X Mark3 for a few months now. Even though they are old they sound quite amazing. My system is Laptop-USBDAC-Qinpu Q2-SRD-7 - SRX-Mk3. My question is where am I on the headphone scale? I know the newer STAX will probably blow mine away...

I bought a pair of Stax from 'bay. The light on the energizer (SRD-7) turns on but I get nothing out of the headphones. What could be wrong? Do they need time to charge up? Do I just leave them on?

I have never had the pleasure of listening to a Stax system. What could I buy for less than $500 that would give me an introduction to what I hear is a unique sound experience?

I have a few extra dollars and would like to experience something different if not better than my DT770. Any recommendations?

Hi all, I love my DT770, I use them at work most of the day. My source is either my iphone or my laptop. Am I right in thinking that an amp would help these cans? If so what would you recommend? Budget is up to $300 if necessary. Obviously cheaper is better. Thanks Ian

I received a pair of these headphones from a fellow HeadFier and have not stopped listening to them for the last 2 days. These are without doubt the most revealing and realistic headphones I have ever heard. (My experience is limited so take it for what it is worth.) On vocal and acoustic...

I'm building a system for my office. I can't use a computer as my source so I need a portable solution. I have an 8GB Iphone. Are there any mp3 players that have a digital output. Or alternatively is there a mp3 with a kick ass line output? How is the iphone line out?? I will be using a...

What do you guys think is a great headphone for Classical and Acoustic music. Something easy to drive would be good. Must be comfortable to wear. My SR60 bug me after a while. thanks all

A plea for help! When I first started working, maybe 10 years ago (not good with time) I had a Headroom Amp that I loved. It got stolen after 2 or 3 years of use. I can't remember the name of it but it was the small one in a cylindrical housing. I loved that amp. I loved the crossfeed...

Not sure if this is the place to ask this so please move if necessary. I have an 8gb iphone, px100 phones and $300. I want the best sounding system for my desk at work. Have to use headphones. So what is your ideal system given my budget and accessories.
