Okay, so I've been inactive around here for a while after grabbing a bunch of stuff, and being generally satisfied. Recently, I came across a Fisher CA-880 amp from the 80s, and have started to prefer its headphone out (even with the route being analog from my computer to the receiver) to my...

So its been a while since I've posted here on the forums, due mostly to a lack of money (my wallet is thanking me). And to be honest, I've been pretty content with what I've been getting out of my system [optical>zero>LD MK III> HD 650s] but recently changed up my computer set-up and think its...

Hey I just turned on my MKIII and saw sparks or rather arcs in the left driver tube. I turned off the amp at once and I don't know if I should turn it back on again. Does this suggest a problem with the amp or the tube? Thoughts?

What would have the better DAC - the Zero or the Denon DCD1520. Should I skip my zero>mkIII setup all together when using the denon?

So I just bought a Zero DAC off ebay, and it arrived yesterday. I have optical out from my desktop to the Zero, and from there the zero is connected to a little dot MKIII headphone amp. The thing is, the music plays at the same volume out of the MKIII no matter what. Even if the amp is off. When...

Which is better? I'm going to be coupling it to an LDMK3 with stock tubes. Opinions?

Hey everyone, I've had my hd-595s for a few months now and I've found that they are really sharp and bright on a lot of vocals. I listen to a lot of hip hop and I find that often the male vocals are so sharp I have to turn the volume down to the point where it is hard to pick out details (the...

I recently got a Little Dot MKIII amp and when I run audio to the amp, the bass seems quite reduced. Right now, i have the audio running from my laptop, to the amp, to my headphones. Stock tubes in the LD. When I plug my headphones directly into the laptop, the bass seems more full than with the...

I have some Sennheiser 595s right now, and I like them. I'm wondering what the improvement would be (Just purchased a Little Dot MK3) if I upgraded to HD 600s. Or should I get a DAC (right now I use optical out from a SB live! to my yamaha receiver or plug it straight into my laptop)? Which...

Just wondering.

Hey guys, I've been lurking around here for a while but just registered (with new HD-595s and CMOY amp on the way...coincidence?) and I'm wondering about my computer audio setup. Right now I have the Soundblaster Live! 5.1 platnum (the model that came with the faceplate full of ports for the...
