I'm interested to hear how the treble is tuned, I had the Z7 for awhile and liked them a lot but parted ways because I found them too recessed in that area. That and overall they weren't the most natural sounding to my ears. That bass though...

I’m looking at a Lyr possibly for my TH500RP. Does anyone have any experience with Amperex PQ 6922 orange label? I have a pair that I got for another amp but never used, these aren't the gold pin version. I'm looking for something on the warm/musical side, but still with qualities of SS which is...

Woo does it.  Pretty sureI read it in the WA Amp Owners Unite thread, though to find out for sure you would be best off emailing Woo.

Hi nspindel, What about a WA22? 4pin xlr input, I think it can be modified to have a pre-out, fits most of your criteria and is in between the LD and B52 price wise. I haven't heard it myself I just know from reading the WA Amp Owners Unite thread that its a popular combo with the HD800s.

Thanks for the reply Nosferatu, right now my main phones are HE-4s which I'm pretty happy with so I'm looking to match the amp with those. I think I tend more towards neutral on the phones and fun/lively on the amp so the Sun could be just the ticket.

Thanks for the replies, I ask because I have a Pac Valve version of the Fun on order and I'm pretty sure they use the Sun opamp along with some other adjustments, now I'm considering changing my order to the stock version A unit.

Is there a reason most go for Earth or Moon over the Sun?

  Speakers are Quad 11L actives.

Yeah I think it drives them just fine, I wish I had more amps to compare it with, I just have my old Meier Prehead-1. But I feel its a definite step up from the Prehead, much more detailed and precise, the Lavry is a quality unit for sure. I'm not too sure where I'm headed in terms of getting a...

It took me awhile but I think I've finally found my sound with the HD800s.  I've been through a lot of the popular high end phones too, LCD-2, T1, SR-507, D7000, I prefer the HD800s by a wide margin, just a matter of preference of course. Now I'm just figuring out how I should go about amping...

I'll have to keep the Headroom in mind for when I buy a dedicated amp. Right now I'm liking the headphone out on my new Lavry DA11, the clarity and detail are great, but wouldn't mind adding an amp that adds a touch of smoothness and musicality to compliment it. Not sure what that would be...

Well I received the DT48a yesterday, on my head right now. The rolled off bass isn't as bad as I remember from when I had the dt48e, I'm finding I get used to it pretty quickly, and also I'm not noticing the treble to rolled off as much as people say. As far as the rest goes, clarity and...

Cool lejaz I also saw the Count Basie Orchestra live, pretty cool experience, I don't have any albums though   Thanks for reminding me Shamu about the unterminated cable, luckily I have a fp-704 plug that I never ended up using for an extension chord I was planning to make. Was removing the...

I should be getting a pair of dt48a 5 ohm today that I ordered from B&H while they were in stock and on sale. I'll be running it out of my Meier Prehead-1 which has a 120 ohm output and a low gain switch so it should be ideal for them. I also got a pair of dt48e style pads as I've read that the...

Cool thanks Red Jacket Mike thats what I'm looking for, once I get which tubes I'm going to use finalized maybe I'll give those a try.   Quote:

Thanks for the welcome jc9394.  And I'll be sure to check out those tubes.   No those aren't quite what I'm looking for, I'll try to find a pic of the kind I mean somewhere in this thread.   Quote:

I'm happy to say I'll be joining the club with an incoming WA6. I have a few beginner questions that I'm sure have been asked/answered 100 times but...I'm going for a more 'tubey' sound so I'm going to try a Sylvania 5931 plus some RCA 6ew7's big bottle. Am I on the right track with those tubes...

One of my faves. This song is actually 'The Argument.'    

I liked this one a lot, thanks again for the recommendation keep em comin. And I also recommend that Animals as Leaders album I've had that for awhile and I think its pretty amazing. Quote:

Nice job both, palchiu I like the look of the bare wire on the Siltechs, matches the connectors well.

 Hmm maybe I will :), I should have my Headphiled Sr325is's by then too. I just meant I wasn't going to bring my whole rig or anything, I'll leave that to the more experienced meet-goers with nicer gear :)   Quote:  

Count me in hopefully, though I don't plan on bringing any gear, maybe next time. This will be my first meet.

They're Dayton plugs, they come in sets of 4, I got them at Parts Express.   Quote:  

Thanks fellas

These are my first decent diy cables after lots of projects, so I thought I'd post them.  They are both made with Mogami Neglex 2534 and 1/4in Techflex.
