Hi, Anyon using their Vali 2 for PC gaming and PC Music? I would be using the motherboard’s Line or Headphone out, not sure what it has. Still waiting for the MB to arrive. It supposely has 8 channel, Asus Rob ver. E. Which brings up another question, do you use the MB’s audio which has many...

I heard Sundara, it has an airy thinner sound than M1070. It sounds great too, different sound signature than M1070. M1070 has nice mid bass and sound stage. I could only get it buying at used price. I never heard M1060. I’m finally happy with M1070 and no longer keep searching yearning for...

Hi, I followed this old post. I bought $70 worth of 6688A tubes thinking they are the correct ones. What is going on? I just received the Amperex 6688A tubes and they are 9 pin. The Nobsound NS-08E is 7 pin tubed. Hitting my head on the wall now, got tubes and can’t use them. Did Nobsound...

Hi, I did not listen long enough. I could not hear much of a difference good or bad. I tried their micro suede. I’m sticking to the stock velour ones for now. That’s very cool you were able to mod and make it better. Do you EQ yours? Do you find it sounding better once EQ is used? I’ve only...

Thanks. The brainwave xl is correct size but the leather side that attaches to the headphones requires trimming. Monoprice stated they will not offer any replacement pads for sale.

Very nice. Where do you source the materials for you build?

Thanks for the info n tips.

Thanks. The smell is unusually industrial.

They said it is sheepskin. Maybe it’s a plastic sheep too. lol I understand I won’t get covid from it, still to be safe. I am getting some leather conditioner wipes. Just odd it would produce so much black yuck. So if it is PU leather, alcohol should not affect it?

Hi, I recently aquired a pair of headphones. I do not want disclose the brand at this time. Item description stated used. So of course with hygiene and covid, I wiped it all down with rubbing alcohol. There were black stains all over the paper towel and my hands. There was also a engine oil...

Hi, I’m looking for replacement ear pads for the M1070. Does not seem to be any. Do you know if M1070 is same size as M1060? There are Brainwavz XL Micro Suede I could try but it is for the M1060. Is there some youtube link that shows how to replace the ear pads on the M1070? I saw some...

LOL, wow that must be super super loud at max. I had to look up Aeon 2, darn nice, can’t touch it at that price. It is also 13 ohms, should be painfully loud even at 12:00 position? I have the humble he-4xx and just tried the hd-6xx with my Asguard 3. I put my DAC volume at 90 out of 100 level...

I will stick with the Asguard 3. I would suspect the Vali 2 would have to be turned up quite high to get normal listening levels with the same planars.

Hi, Does someone who has the Asguard 3 also have the Vali 2? I have the Asguard 3 and using it with the he4xx. I don’t have anything to compare it to. This is my first hpa. I wanted to try the Vali 2 for tube rolling but I don’t know if I will like the sound. As with the initial review, I...

I agree with you on the software side. Kinda why I stuck to Sony, solid GUI. Why it has to create a database every time it boots up, that I don’t understand.

Hi, From your experience, is there a dramatic sound quality jump when it comes to the AK DAP’s? I switched from Sony nw-a45 to then nw-a55. Sound difference to me was marginal. I have been considering the AK Kaan but its 3x price of the nw-a55. Wider sound stage, more neutral, etc... for the...

Hi, Has anyone experienced or reviewed both units? They seem to be going for about the same price. I did have a Sony NW-A45 so I’m familiar with the UI. I have been looking to upgrade to better sound quality. How would compare the sound quality between the ZX-300 vs. the Kann? That is most...
