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...- Destroysall

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...- RAZRr1275

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- RAZRr1275

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...- DjAmTraX
