That's what I did, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the idea but I'm not much of a phone guy. Typicaly phones don't have much in the way decent EQ, gapless and features I want. Additionally, using the phone for portable sound runs the battery down quickly and is just an all around pain to use for things other than phone functions.

Tried checking on the Xduoo X2, and seems to be no longer sold. Ended up buying a Hiby R2II. While it has a lot of stuff I don't care about like wi-fi, BT etc. It has reportedly good sound and an outstanding EQ system.

I’m looking for a DAP that would cost $100 or less. What is important to me is, Sound Quality. The player should have a robust warm full sound, apposed to a clean thin detailed sound profile. Don’t really care if it is ‘neutral’ or not, my belief, neutral is the enemy of exciting. What I do want...

I own them. Identical to the one put out by Bohm. They are very comfortable, well built and seem to be a decent value for the money, if you plan to use them for use on public transit they are worthwhile. I don't think using them as a home headphone you'd be that happy however.

Thanks all, it looks like I will be getting my SP MPX3 fixed instead getting something different.

Thanks,   "Kevin Gilmore has posted it a few times.    http://www.head-fi.org/t/436281/supra-schematic   Same as a supra, with some part value differences in the audio section, and LARGE differences in the power supply section.  Since every SP is just a little bit speshul, the best you...

Schematic for SinglePower MPX3?   Does anyone have basic schematic for a SinglePower MPX3? My MPX3 had the usual transformer failure last week. I currently have a amp tech who will replace the it with a more robust one.   While he has it apart, I asked that he install a “gain reduction”...

"Sh**. I hope you can get it sorted. Did you try replacement tubes?"     "My darkvoice did that once... It was just the fuse that popped. Not sure what caused it"     I check the fuse and it was burnt. Replaced the fuse and it immediately burnt again. The amp is currently with someone who...

My MPX3 was working fine until last week when it stopped working. No drama, no loud pop, no burning smell, no smoke, it just stopped and went cold mid-CD. I'm now trying to learn what is wrong with it and if it will be repair, or replace.

"I guess your choice also depends on which headphone you want to use."   Well that is part of the dilemma I use Grados, HD650s & Beyer DT990s. However, I use the HD650s / DT990s most. That said I do need something that will work with the Grados too.   Another question in my mind, of the two...

Masa -   I was listening to it a couple of nights ago and it just stopped. It went "stone dead", nothing dramatic; no loud pop, or puff of smoke, or burning smell, it just stopped. So now it is fix, or replace.

Masa -   I have found a place in Venice who says they will take a look, "Venice Amp Repair", they specialize in the custom "Red Jones" guitar amps. I will give "Rewind Audio" a try if if that doesn't work out. How is your SP amp holding up, or do you still have it?

Bummer.   BTW, I think I learned about washing / soaking Grado cushions from one of your old posts. Much smoother and softer. Thank you.     I haven't been on < headfi > much recently. Have been enjoying the music, and content with my system, until my SP MXP3 quit on me last week. Thank you...

RE: Jeffrey Angus Stay Connected 10916 South La Cienega Boulevard Lennox, CA 90304-1105 310-337-1036 Stay Connected   Thanks for the recommendation, but I checked on this guy this last weekend and he is out of business.

RE: Repairing a SinglePower MXP3 Amp?     Does anyone have a recommendation for someone in the Los Angeles area that will do repair work on a SinglePower MXP3 amp? Thanks for your interest.

I'm looking to get a new tube amp and have narrowed it down to either the DarkVoice 336SE, or Little Dot MK III 3. Any thoughts pro, or con as to which is to be preferred and why?     Thanks in advance for your input.

The Koss Sportapro / Portapros have nice bass and are reasonably priced.   - augustwest

My MPX3 still looks good and sounds good, although the resale value is zip. I no longer run it in "high power" mode and have found a tube set I prefer that shouldn't cause it any stress. It's a shame the way this all turned out.   - augustwest

"If we say stumble across a pair of M6 for $13 SHIPPED....are they really THAT much better than the HAFX35 to warrant grabbing 2 pairs? I already have one pair on the way but I'm thinking of grabbing another before the sale is over. Do I get the second pair or just spend the money on a...

"OP, with 2100 posts, I'm guessing you have an awesome home rig. You're probably thinking, "I want to spend the least amount of money possible because I only need these to listen to when I'm away from my awesome home rig". As far as IEMS go, I feel they're far weaker in the price/performance...

Ok, I have question for you guys.   A friend loaned me some JVC HA-FX35-B "Marshmellow" IEM's. This is my first experience with them, or any in ear monitor other than the cheap "buds" that come with any MP3 player/phone. Are the M6/M9's signifcantly better than the JVC's? Because the JVC's...

Anone else with any thoughts to share on this?   - augustwest
