HD800 + WA5 with Takatsuki 300B and Takatsuki 274B is absolutely amazing. I have only the standard tubes to compare to, but the difference is night and day. Highly recommend the combo.

I ordered the Sylvania for the WA5 but got the GE instead. Is it a better or a worse tube? Does anyone have any experience with these two tubes.

I am looking for a high end DAC. I am currently looking at Bricasti M1 or one of the Total DACs. Has anyone heard either one of them or preferably both of them? From what I seen on forums there is huge variance in opinions between all the high end DACs so I am not sure what to believe. These two...

Do you guys have any experience with the Takatsuki 274B.I am thinking of getting them but I dont know how they compare to ther tubes in that class.

Does anyone know where to buy these new from? Also are they better then the Royal Princess?

I think a better route to take would be to get an amplifier in the 3000 dollar range and then use the conductor as a DAC. This way the next upgrade will be easier and the current upgrade will probably be better then buying a all in one combo again. I have the HD 800 and the Conductor and  got...

You shouldn't be asking how to illegally download music in a public form. THE thing is you would have to be a PIRATE to do that and still keep the authorities at BAY.

I am guessing its your first hifi purchase. Consider getting a sound card for your PC instead of an amp and DAC. It should completely satisfy your needs for movies, gaming and any low quality music playback like from youtube or pandora. This setup will even be great for music especially if you...

Well that's good news since the shop I am going to has both Audezes, th 900 and He 6 but not the 560s.

What about the 560, are they worth considering or are they over hyped? I have read a few review that suggest they are better the Audeze Lcd X. I don't think I will have the chance to audition them and don't want to gloss over them if they actually do live up to the hype. 

I guess I will just audition all 3 Audeze see which ones I like more.

I never heard any Audeze but I was under the impression that Lcd 3 was a better version of Lcd 2. What makes the 2 better then the 3.

Sorry I didn't mention in my first post that I have the conductor and wa5.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have the conductor and wa5 (w/ parts upgrade). As for Grado's, I heard the Ps 1000 and was disappointed by the sound quality and the fit/build quality.

Im looking for good vocals and good bass. Not interested in anything for outside home use.

Hi guys, I currently have HD 800 alongside some other cheaper headphones and I am looking to buy another flagship to have another good headphone with a different sound signature. Currently I am thinking of buying Audeze LCD X/3 or Hifiman HE 560/6. I am wondering if you guys could give me some...

This might be a stupid question, but can you bypass the preamp in auralic vega.

Just like people ask for headphone in a certain price ranges, I asked for suggestions for the best DAC in a certain price range because I believe that the quality of a product improves significantly until a certain price range. For example, headphones at a 500 dollar range are worse then...

I have already seen those DACs but they are not in my price range.

Hello,  I am looking to buy a  balanced DAC. Right now I am thinking of buying Bryston BDA 2, however I am open to any other suggestions and recommendations. There isn't a particular sound signature I am looking for, just whatever is the best or is one of the best DACs in the price range of...

Hello, I am looking to buy a new pair of headphone in the 600 dollar range.  I currently have HD 598 with which  I am very happy. The two pairs of headphones that caught my eye are the HE 500 and the T 90. I am  wondering of the two which one is better, or what are the pros and cons of the...
