So, what can I expect out of this? I'm not in TOO deep, but I'd like to have a clue. The most I've played with tubes is via plug-ins and I kinda dig the unique sound those give. What I REALLY want to know is which set of tubes can I search for that would sound MOST like a Telefunken 12AX7? I...

Well, what can I say? I've tried every output possible from the MacBook Pro into the E-MU and both of them have their bad points. In fact, neither is listenable. My Lyrix is a better option at this point because it causes zero problems. On the USB side, I get playback stuttering every few...

First off, I already have a pair of Grados and love them; I'm just looking for a different flavor. I also have the HD650s, so I have both bright and dark clocking in! Anyway, I'm looking for a neutral can to balance between the HD650s and SR225is. I've done research, but it seems like all...

Please delete.

Yes, I know, ONE amp for the two MOST different sound signatures among the well-known headphone manufacturers. My budget is around $1500. Also, if there is a DAC (Up to about $700) that synergizes well with said amp; include that too. The only other hoop you have to jump through is NO TUBES! I'm...

Hey hey, kids! I'm on the lookout for some better headphones for rock to improve on my Grado SR60s (no i). I'm not going to shy away from the fact that I LOVE bass, but the Grado house sound (for the most part) works really well for me. I thought the highs on the 60s could get a little harsh...
