Hey everyone. I'm selling off a couple things I bought last year to try to dip my toes into electrostat land. The Kaldas RR1 is a electrostatic headphone made by a boutique production out of Mumbai. Everyone describes it as sounding like an HD-600, but with that ethereal electrostat clarity that...

I’m the happy owner of a 5k, considering buying a T71. Could anyone help with a couple questions I have? -Has anyone had success outputting 5.1/7.1 audio from a Mac to their T71? -Does the increased power make a noticeable difference with hard to drive headphones? My daily drivers are a pair of...

Looking for a set of Audeze LCD-X, preferably the 2021 revision. The last couple of these have sold for about 650 USD, so that’s what I’m looking to spend. Please let me know if you have one sitting around looking for a new home.

Bump. Still available.

Selling my set of Massdrop Kaiser 10 Universals. I love these, and they really are equal to a set of Andromedas, but I upgraded recently and don't find myself using them much. I've had them for about 4 years, and they've been well taken care of. There is some wear around the edges where a tiny...

I will try my best to make it down tomorrow. This’ll be my first headphone meet of any kind—looking forward to seeing what’s involved. Focal Elex Noble Kaiser K10U FLC-8S Schiit Lyr 2 Topping D50

I need some good tubes to replace my current ones that have gone noisy. I'm gonna try some WE396A's. Are the JW versions noticeably better? I've seen conflicting reports on the topic. Also, is 150 overpriced? If so, I'll be patient and stalk ebay for a while longer...

Has anyone had success contacting Fender about a warranty repair? I have a pair of Harmony's that I bought right before the "new management" took over. To make a (very) long story short, the MMCX connector is shot and I need the earpieces repaired. Tried sending a message through Fender's...

Hmm...might be worth trying. Is there a particular kind of foam that I would need to use?

And here I was all this time, thinking you were a monkey listening to headphones. Guess I should learn to stop trusting avatars...

Could you fill me in on the purpose of the foam, if you don't mind me asking? 

Double +1 on the orange globes. I'm by no means a tube rolling veteran, but these things are amazing.

Just checked the tubes in my Lyr (coincidentally also 1969 Orange Globes). Slight difference in brightness, no difference in sound quality or volume. Tried swapping L and R tubes, no change in sound. You should be fine.

P.S. If anyone is in the market for a new cable, I HIGHLY recommend the Linum Estron Bax. They sound great and they're so damn thin I still can't believe they conduct electricity. Most comfortable cable I've ever used.

Had a strange learning experience today. Usually I have my ASG-2's in for a good portion of the day at work. This afternoon, I started getting a splitting headache while listening to a podcast. That, and my usually feel-like-I-was-born-wearing-them headphones were giving me a serious case of...

Haven't owned the MDP's, but I can tell you that the bass on the Alphas isn't lacking in the slightest. Quantity and quality are both there. I'm not a fan of "accurate", but underpowered bass, either. Plus, you can always adjust the bass port to your liking (assuming you would be comfortable...

I almost forgot to mention...Alpha Dog's + Schiit Lyr 2 + 60's Amperex Orange Globe's = the end of America's drug war. Who needs meth, crack, or heroin when there are experiences this good available legally. Of course, you may still have to sell your furniture to pay for either habit...

I had an interesting experience with my Alpha dogs recently. I had the unusual fortune of having two separate AD's side by side for comparison (bought my dad a pair as a gift after I blew his mind with mine), and was surprised at how different the sound signatures were between the two pairs. Not...

Woah, this is a nice surprise! I hope I'll be able to make it. If so, here's my stuff:   Mr Speakers Alpha Dogs Aurisonics ASG 2.5 Lyr 2 (stock tubes) Aune X1 (used as a DAC)

Thanks for the replies!   Sound's like I might want to avoid tubes, then. Maybe something like the Schiit Asgard 2 (all-SS, has good reviews for use with the Alpha Dogs and IEM's)?    I'm mostly just looking for an amp for home listening w/ a MBP. Not really looking for a DAP at the moment...

So I've been lurking on this thread for a long time and finally have an excuse to join the discussion...   I'm the proud owner of a pair of ASG-2's and a set of Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs. To get the most out of the AD's, I'm looking to make my first real amp purchase. I'm eyeing a Schiit Lyr...
