Hello all. I have an aune t1 rev1 and was wondering if this will drive he-500s properly . I tried searching but couldn't find anything definitive. I'm looking to pick up this headphone if so. I know they can drive the he400, but I may want to take the next step with the 500s to compliment my...

Are trades allowed here? I'm wondering if anyone in the US would be down to do a straight trade of one of my Amperex Orange Globes for a Voskhod (rocket logo) or Siemens, just a tube thats more forward sounding. My curiosity is getting the best of me, haha.

Thanks for the suggestion. I recently picked up this tube which is supposedly a ge but manufactured by Mullard.http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=400468021931&cmd=VIDESC I'm not sure if it's the same as the one you mentioned but it does sound a little "through the blanket" I just...

Where can I purchase an ultron PCC189? I'm also curious to try the voskhod rocket logo...   Right now i'm using an amperex orange globe w.germany and it sounds great, but i'm wanting something thats a little more forward. I've already gone through 3 other tubes as well. This is kinda getting...

Hey guys, just wanted to update.   Got my unit and it sounds great. I paired with mine a $10 amperex bugle boy tube and love its sound with my grado rs2i's and KRK studio monitors.    One thing I wanted to bring up was that I asked earlier in this thread if this unit could be controlled...

Does anyone use this dac with grados? Wondering if they pair up well

Quote: thanks for the reply.   Just to make sure, can the volume be controlled through the main windows volume (speaker icon at the bottom right of the taskbar)? On my Udac, i can control volume through music apps, but changing the main windows system volume doesn't do anything. Just...

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions.   1. Would this be an upgrade from the udac (1st gen, not udac2). Mine is starting to bite the dust and im looking for a new dac.   2. I mostly listen to music through my KRK studio monitors, and what I liked about the udac was that i could connect...

Hey Guys. Its been a while since i've been here.   I'm looking to get a new set of headphones which don't require an amp. I have a maximum budget of $200 and I should mention that my source would be a nuforce udac (gen1) as well as a sansa clip (gen 1). My current headphones are the JVC...

Sweet, thanks a_recording. Just checked their website and it seems pretty painless, though ill be paying more for shipping (to and from) compared to the $8 i actually bought the headphones for, haha.    edit: quick question   If i cut quarter-sized circles in the foam cushions, would...

Oh yeah, totally forgot about the lifetime warranty with koss! Do they need the original box and receipt though? If so, i'm out of luck cause I have neither...   Anyhow, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll look into the RE2, M1, and Proalpha.

Hello, its been awhile I'm looking for a pair of earphones or iems around 30$ price range. My koss ksc75 and jvc marshmallows both died and I really liked the sound from both. I liked the ksc75 more, but both were great. This will be mainly for use with an iphone4 with high bit mp3s but...

Actually, my swans speakers are self-powered, so that shouldn't be a problem, I believe. Swans M10 Headphones are the of least priority, but if they do need an amp with the gamma... i'd rather not go that route. The highest end headphone I'd probably get would be the AD700. I've read those...

Thanks! I'm leaning more towards the udac since I'll be able to use headphones with it if I ever get some good ones. I saw the gamma lite in the f/s thread, but i can't find any comparisons between the two. I'm worried the udac won't sound that great with speakers though. It should provide a...

Thanks for the suggestion. Do You know where I could purchase one of those? Any other suggestions/input are welcome. Also, doesn't have to be USB.. can just be external with spdif/coax

Hello all. Its been a while since i've been here. I recently upgraded my video card and have no room for my soundcard (x-fi xtremegamer) in my pc. So i'm looking for a new external usb dac to fulfill my audio needs. I have a pair of Swans m10 speakers and only use speakers with my comp. I...

So are there any other contenders that I should know of? I read mixed things about the akg k240s studio. Some say it needs an amp, some say it doesn't. I think these could work for me if they don't need an amp

Great player! I got mine for $21 shipped. Small and great, with a nice screen and good sq. IT was a refurb but looks brand and feels brand new.

Yeah it has the volume control, but I always leave it on max and control the volume on the player.

e3 works great with the ksc75

KSC75. Amazing for $6 to my ears.

Quote: Originally Posted by TopPop Your title says "closed" headphones, by the way... you might want to change that... MS-1s are great, but I'd imagine the Grado 225s would be better, and they are within your budget. WOw.. dumb late night mistake. I changed it to open!

Hey all. I'm newbie when it comes to headphones, and only have experience with my JVC HA-RX700 for full size cans, and JVC Marshmallows/KSC75's for portables. However, I think I'm now ready to try some full-fledged midrange headphones, since I don't think I will ever venture (or be able to for...
