    What's a "noticeable" upgrade?

    Heya,   I've been wondering lately on what would be a good possible amp upgrade in the $300 & below range from the Hifiman EF2A (w/ Mullard CV4010 Tubes)?  I own a Beyerdynamics DT990/600, and I am planning on upgrading my DAC soon to the HRT MS2.  I thought about grabbing the Schiit Audio...

    Little Dot 1+ vs Hifiman EF2A vs Bellari HA540

    So I'm looking at hybrid amps for my phones since i have a solid state and decided I want to dabble in the tube sound without sacrificing power and I'm looking at these 3. If you think that these 3 would not be the best for my phones and there is some better hybrid amp that is $300 or below then...

    Tube Rolling for Bellari HA540

    Anyone have any recommendations for tubes? My phones are the AKG K702, Grado SR80i, and Denon D2000. I'm looking with two sets with different sound signatures. Also for a budget I'd say $50 for both sets. The type of tube would be an ecc83/12ax7

    What are the differences between these amps?

    Little Dot mkiii, Little Dot i+, Bellari HA540. I'm looking to know the differences as far as sound quality. Even if you've only listened to one of these i'd like to hear your impressions on the sound. I'm open to tube rolling. Source will be FLAC or 320 kbps mp3 through foobar with an Odac...

At the same time I would like...

    Need a headphone amp for HE-500s…

    Hi again.   So I bought the HiFiMan HE-500s. and since this is coming out of a Mac pro with optical out, I needed an amp with at least one optical in.  I bought a NuForce Icon HDP, but I'm not really feeling the love from this amp.   I'm looking for a somewhat powerul headphone amp with...

    Anyone have experience with the Bellari HA540?

    Looking for ~$300 tube amp for Grados

    Just got a pair of SR325is for my aggressive rock preference of music.   I'm currently using a FiiO E7+E9 combo. I always hear that Grados with tubes is a great combo, so I'm looking in that direction.   I'm not quite an expert in the DAC subject area, but if the E7 isn't a terrible...

    Headphone & amp synergy list.

    IMO, synergy is more important than the model you buy. For example, my Denon AH-D7000 sounds great with my Bellari HA540 tube amp (upgraded to Mullard 12AX7 tube), but my Sony MDR-7506 sounds like crap with that amp. The Sony MDR-7506 sounds BEST through the headphone out on my Sony CDP-XA7es CD...
