Hi guys, I been enjoying the X10s for a while now. On my second pair after the first pair started ripping. The second pair that Klipsch sent me has been used for 3 months now, the tail of one pair is starting to show signs of splitting. It's no big deal, but the thing that's been bothering...

Hey guys, I been hanging in the Headphone Amp for a while and I thought to start posting here after reading for a bit. I found a great deal on a Music Hall MMF5 turntable on Audiogon. Picked it up for $245, and it just needs a replacement stylus for it's Goldring GX1012 cartridge. I want to...

Hi guys, I was just chatting with my favorite electrical engineer friend (if you read him from an earlier post) and again he is skeptical that a power tube will change the sound signature. I notice a change myself, but he said that a power tube is only suppose to amplify the sound and not...

I was shopping around for 5751's and a 6AS7G when I came across a website selling cryogenically treated tubes. They are called Kuhl Tubes. https://www.tubeworld.com/kuhltube.htm I was curious if anybody had a chance to test them and if they really are worth the extreme price premium over...

I am currently using the chinese tubes that came with my Audiotailor Jade. I am excited to start the tuberolling journey (looks expensive) and I was wondering if it would be much of an improvement if I swapped it with some RCA and Sylvania stuff. A question for tube lovers, what kind of...

I received my Audiotailor Jade today and I'm enjoying the chocolatey sound. Being my first valve amp, I was curious if the tube connesseurs here have any tips of keeping the tubes and amp in tip top shape. For one, I was pulling in and out between my Grados and HD650s earlier but I read a...

I am more of an addicted reader than a poster at Head-Fi, but after a conversation with a friend last night I had to grab some wisdom from Head-Fiers and dispel a myth once and for all. I'll start a bit with background. I ventured into the life-sucking crack that is high-fi headphone audio...

I gone and I done it again. First I was perfectly happy with a pair of HD497s, then HD595s, then add a little PA2V2, with a sprinkle of Headroom MicroDAC, and a few hours ago, I just ordered the HD650 from JR.com. I been camping out in this forum for days, but I want a more definitive...

Hey guys, I just went and brought myself a 2005 HR MicroDAC. I been enjoying the extra detail and warmth it gives to my current Macbook Pro/PA2V2 amp setup. However, I have a feeling that I'm missing something with this inexpensive amp. I was recommended to surf the amp section for a bit, and...

Alright I am in a dilemma again, not sure if it's the upgradeitis after seeing the mirror finish of the ES7. I have been fairly happy with the K81DJs so far mostly for their portability and the clamping I don't really seem to notice anymore. But then I just saw the post for ES5 and then some...

Hey guys, I recently went dorming to college and been just using my laptop lately with the URGE service for all my music needs. The laptop sound is decent, but I know I can find something that can bring my HD595 and my Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra speakers some justice. I also have a PA2V2...

I been enjoying my Senns alot, and my PA2V2 is coming real soon. I wanted to get even more out of it through the windows sound settings and make sure its set on the right one and I am not losing anything. I am running the 595 through the line out of my audigy 2. The creative console...

Hello guys, I been reading this forum for the past two weeks. I originally had a pair of HD497s and I enjoyed those for about two and a half years before the right earpiece started giving out and I literally had to tilt my head 90 degrees for the driver to work again (loose wiring?!). Lol...
