Hi - I’ve been out of the headphone “game” for a long time and I’m kind of coming back around looking for something simple that works with what I have and hopefully is one unit. Is there something that is a… 1. a headphone amp/dac combo that is either solid state or tube that will power nicely...

I ordered a set. Seems like nice stuff and nice price. 

is this guy still makin stuff?

Received my Tenore yesterday. They sound fine but I don't think they are blowing other IEMs in this range out of the water....

from my reading it seems that they are a really bass light iem, maybe so much to a fault to your ears.

stunning....

bump... wondering about the Carbo Tenore and VSD1S.

Im close to pulling the trigger on the curve, wish there were more reviews or comments out there though. Anyone else get to try these?

  I really want some too. The ones out there that are available are too expensive IMO.

if you cant hear it thats good. it doesnt matter....just enjoy your cans and leave this forum. its full of people who overanalyze and endlessly buy pieces of gear with minute differences between each one. my theory is that the large majority here have limited knowledge of music and or are...

thanks

decided to give these a few days actually....   gonna try more material, play some more games. pink noise at night. 

  I read that review actually, its still just one persons insights. What I said was just sort of for conversation, so go away kid.

I have the label printed but now I'm on the fence. Will the bass actually settle?

I can get them back to Amazon in about 24 hours.  

Got mine in from Amazon today. A little bummed so far, bass seems a bit bloomy...creeps into the mids imo.

      I feel like I have this type of issue when I use the bowl pads on my Grado MS2i's. Never happens with flats. I PMed you.

  Yah, your pretty much right. The bass they do handle well presented...I know they arent bass heavy cans. I was just wondering if that low end distortion can damage anything in the long run. Doesn't look its a big deal within reason.

thanks guys

I mainly listen to my MS2i's through a Magni/Modi stack. They don't handle really low frequencies very well. Sometimes even at low to medium volume levels certain bass frequencies will garble them up a bit....like a strong climax at the end of a drum crescendo in classical music, or a big bass...

  In what way do they sound "light years ahead" of the MS1i? Sounds a little extreme to me.

It ended up being a driver issue. A reinstall fixed this. Thanks!

  Wondering the same thing. I have the white label 6DJ8 and Orange globe, and I like them both at this point. The last tube I was thinking about picking up is the 7308.

I never liked my Q701's until I got my Ember. The tubes really seem to warm them up.
