No one ??

Hi, i am new to tube amp. Just ordered a Little Dot MK III. I am looking for some tubes online (thinking of upgrading already ), the price difference between "Matched pair" tube vs "Random/unmatched pair" is quite significant. Just wondering Is tube matching necessary (for Driver Tube)...

Thanks morfic. Is 6J1P-EV same as 6Zh1P-EV ?

Just ordered MK III to drive my K702 and Grado 325i Looking for some tubes for upgrading Anyone has any experience with 6ZH1p-EV and Mullard M8100 (big shield) ? 6ZH1P will be from Yen for $24 + $12 postage -- Quite expensive Mullard 8100 will be from Wen Audio for $30 + $10 postage...

Nothing so far. Still 6 atm

Anymore ??? Come on guys. Where are all the Head-fiers in Adelaide

Tell me about it. Regret that i didnt purchase more when AUD was 0.90 to USD I've read a post sometime ago re: D7000, owner claimed its very close to speakers in terms of imaging. Find this interesting given that its a closed headphones.

I actually cancelled my order on W5000 after reading a lot about Denon D7000. Looking forward to try stevenkelby's D5000 Marl'd,so i have an idea how D7000 will sound.

Looking good ! I will bring my Dynaudio for sure Mid April sounds good. At least i have sometime to look for a place. Any suggestion ?

Great. 3 people and counting.. Not sure about the time yet, but looking maybe in 3 weeks time. I've sent over 20 PMs to all head-fiers in Adelaide, still waiting for reply. Venue should be around the city. I'l organize that. But suggestions are welcome

SWEET... Need more people. I will bring my speaker amp too which has a headphone output. It is a class A amp, lots of power.

We had a meeting in Adelaide ~3 years ago i think, its about time for another one Anyone interested ? I've got AKG 702, Grado 325i, ER-4S, UM1, Liverwires. Will bring my speakers - Dynaudio Focus 110 if location allowed. Hope to hear from everyone in Adelaide. Cheers UPDATE...

Anyone compared D7000 and ATH-W5000 before ? I know they are not in the same class, but i am kind of deciding between these 2. Thanks

I was gonna get W5000 but with all the review, i think i have to re-consider it. Too bad i dont have the opportunity to try D7000 here in Australia

My K702 is on the way Hate waiting ................

Finally got my Livewires, my 1st custom IEM Pics Pics Pics (sorry, not the best pics, was rushing ) My impressions Love the heading "EXTREMELY URGENT - Please Rush to The Addressee". Fitting seems alright, very comfortable. But seal brakes quite easily...

Sent my impressions on 06/08/08, John received them on 13/08/08 (Australia - USA). Currently, my Livewires is on the way to Australia Shipped out on 10/09/08, was originally scheduled to be shipped out on 29/08/08 but there was some delay. Anyway, its still quicker than i expected, heard...

Got my impression done today, only $30 AUD Packing !! Ready to go ---- > USA Hope i dont have to get it re-fit

Getting my ear impression done tomorrow

Tom, whats your portable rig like ?

I actually prefer the new case. More portable in my opinion. Where can i get pelican 1010 ??

If you look at Ety's website Etymotic Research, Inc. - Earphone Comparision In terms of accuracy, 4S scores 92% vs 4P 86%, which is even lower than ER6 ! But again, score means nothing until you try it, your ears are always the final judge.
