Okay Robert, you've made a convert. I just plugged a Tung-Sol 6SN7GT into my Vali 2 and it sounds great.

There are a lot to try, just going through the previous posts on this thread should give you an idea of some. I have the JJ gold pin and one that I found that sounds nice in a different way is a Reflector 6N1P. It works without an adapter, has a good sound, and can be found on Ebay for less...

My Vali sprouted a big tube tonight as well as I just got a Tung-Sol 6SN7 (new one, not NOS) from Vivatubes and added to the waiting adapter and tube saver I got from Ebay. It does look strange, but works. As for the sound, it is very detailed with a large sound stage. However, it is on the...

I'd love to pick up one of the Jimmy Page Telecasters, but I'm sure it will be priced way beyond what I'd be willing to pay.

Hello Cudam, I'm fairly new to the forums myself. I suggest trying to edit your subject to something like, "Recommendation for DAC and amp for my computer. You will likely get more views and recommendations on your post. Why are you looking for a DAC and amp for your computer? Is the volume...

I have no idea what the difference is. Looking at the listings it could just be a color difference, with one being more popular or rarer than the other.

The Porta Pro is a great sounding headphone, especially if you like the warm bass emphasized sound it has. but as pbui44 said, it isn't very comfortable for long periods of time. The advantage the Porta Pro has is in its name. It is extremely portable, folding in on itself to make it easy to...

The DT 990s and DT 770s do come in a 32ohm version. I have the DT 990s (250ohm) and like them. I also have a pair of Grados that I really like that have a low ohm rating. The ones I have are the SR60e, which go for around $80. These emphasis the mids and have some good bass. More...

Do you need sound isolation? Both the dt 990 and hd 599 are open back headphone so people around you will be able to hear what you are listening to. I have the dt 990s and personally like them, but they are too bright sounding for a lot of people.

I will add a +1 to what Deftone said. The Switch is a perfect companion for a PC. The biggest thing is that it is portable, letting you play your games were every you go. Also, getting to play Zelda is worth the price of a Switch as well.

Thanks for the advice. I will look at getting a 6SN7 adapter. Unfortunately Tubedepot is out of stock so I may need to order one off of ebay. I do have a 5670 to 6922 adapter that came with the amp so I can explore those sets of tubes as well. I'll put the JJ 6SN7 on my list of tubes to try...

I recently picked up a Vali 2 from another forum member and have been reading through this thread for ideas on tubes to try with the amp. The main headphone I'm using with the Val 2 is the DT 990s. I also have a pair of Grado SR60e as well. The amp came with two tubes and I picked up a third...

Hello everyone, Keith here. I decided to join the forum as my search for information on headphones kept bringing up this site. I'm hoping to learn some more about what to look for when trying to find audio equipment, and I'm also hoping to find out about any audio meets in the DC area where I...
