    A new contender in the NOS realm of DACs " Lab 12, DAC1 Reference"

    I am more inclined to listen to my speakers but I do listen to phones too so when I saw this thread I had to chime in. I have a decent system, it has very good synergy and lively dynamic sound. I have been using the RME adi2 DAC fs and it's been very good. It is the Swiss army knife of...

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    Buy it...... I seldom say this about any product. It is an heirloom piece in my opinion. I am confident it will be playing music long after I'm gone.

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    My Quicksilver amp is about 10 months old and I am still blown away by how great it sounds. I love it, will never sell it , and owning it justifies owning several pairs of phones. It is that good . I listened to it the other night and immediately thought " I need to listen to this more...

    I just got into this hobby about five minutes ago. Should I buy an RME ADI-2?

    The RME is an awesome DAC. For what it is, it’s incredible . I use it as my system DAC and listen to it through my Quicksilver Headphone amp If you are looking for a great all in one box then I highly recommend it.If you are looking for a phenomenal amp the Quicksilver is hard to beat at its...

    I am using the RME with Quicksilver headphone amp and it is an awesome combo..... I know its not balanced , but it is a sweet sounding amp. Its a single ended triode , sweet EL84 sound ... best $1000 I have spent in a while.

    Rupert Neve Designs Announces The RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier

    I own the RNHP and it’s a fine amp. Actually it’s a great amp for the money. I think what we see here is Rupert Neve Designs has a great success with the RNHP and this is their attempt to appeal to the Audiofools. Look st the insides of both units they look the same. There are two builds of...

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    Ironically I’m not a huge fan of the cross feed. It’s an incredible DAC though. I run the Quicksilver from my Conrad Johnson’s Tape Out so all sources go to it. I’ve always been a “purist’ so to speak, but I’ll admit there are some sources that could benefit from EQ I’ve used the EQ and...

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    So based on several very positive reviews about the RME ADI-2DAC , I bought one . It’s awesome and the combination of the DAC and the Quicksilver amp is awesome!!! My Klipsch HP3 have never sounded better. Incredible bass from a headphone system. The RME also serves as the DAC in my main system...

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    I have the RNHP, it was my first real Headphone amp . It’s a great amp but the Quicksilver is in a different league altogether . It is such a great sounding amp for the money it’s silly. And the build quality is typical Quicksilver. They built it exactly like their big amps.

    Klipsch High End Over Ear-your input appreciated

    I think you are right about profit and the corporate mentality. It's a shame you weren't reading about them more they are one of the best sounding (to me) phones I've ever used. I love them. Fortunately the pads appear to be good quality. They are the same shape as one of the fostex pad...

    Klipsch High End Over Ear-your input appreciated

    I think you may be right , and it's too bad because they are great phones. I'd love to get a new pair of pads too but I think there's slim chance of that. Too bad the price was just a little too high. If they were made in US I could justify the price increase and maybe even say they were a...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    I am digging my newly resurfaced K240... I have had them for probably 30 years. They were stored at my Dads, I just found them today with a few other toys. They were in the box in time capsule condition. I never used them because they were the 600 Ohm "Monitor" version and I never had...

    Klipsch HP-3

    That's too bad, they are great phones and I love them .... but are they worth almost $1400? Not sure. I paid $850 new for mine about 2 months ago. At that price they were a good deal in my opinion. They are going to price themselves out of the game.

    Why Do You Listen To Headphones

    I never really listened to headphones that much but right before my divorce I bought a pair of Grado RS2e and a Neve amp. Good thing I did because I ended up packing all my gear up and putting it in storage for over six months. That system got me through a rough time. Now my system is set...
