Hi,   Please let me know if you're interested in group buy for Bottlehead Crack DIY kit.  I'm considering the Speedball Upgrade as well, so let me know if you're interested in base kit only or Speedball Upgrade as well.   I sent an email to Bottlehead to find out how the logistics work...

Hello, I'm new here. :)   This topic has probably already been discussed hundreds of time, but I've not found my answer yet... So, I've been listening to my K701 through an old Pioneer DC-Z82 for nearly two years now, we are very far from Hi-Fi and I grew tired of this "amp". So I've been...

Hi from a Noob!   I've had the HD650's for about 6/7 years now. But only had them plugged into a Sherwood RX-1010 and a NAD 7125 Intergrated Amp I'm looking to spend about £100 on a nice amp. So far the Sherwood gave it that 'kick' that I love from the bass but the NAD as much as it sounds...

Hi there headfi world!   I've just recently started thinking about headphones as my primary home listening system... I don't have any equipment yet, so I'm looking for any advice I can get. Oh, I'm also a sound engineer (with an actual  engineering job... not a "home producer") so I...

Bottlehead Crack + DT880/600 ohm, good synergy? 

Everyone asks what amp with this or that headphone, I want to go the other way.  I have a WA2 and want to know what headphones work best with it.    I listen to almost everything except for straight ahead rap and AM radio country.   Like to get both closed and open can recommendations

So this is my first post here on Head-Fi, but I have been a lurker for quite some time now. Anyways, about two months ago I took a plunge and bought my first "serious" setup, which consisted of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 600 ohm version and an Audinst HUD-MX1.    Thus far, I have been happy...

Firstly, I am somewhat of an audiophile neophyte, but trying my hardest everyday to learn as much as possible.   Now, I'd like to upgrade my DAC and AMP. I'm not sure if I should go with a DAC/AMP combo like the Yulong D100 or go for something I really want like a dedicated AMP and dedicated...

I think I've got it now - the idea of how impedance works with cans. Now, I'm trying to figure it out with amps, and I'm hoping the answer is way more obvious than it seems to me. I began trying to figure this out while looking for a new jack to plug my HD580s into. What I seem to have...

They both cost the same really but I'm not sure which is better or better suited for me.   I would like to drive the Sony xb700 rated at 24 ohms.  I have found that I do love my bass if that matters. I already have a DAC kit to go with it too.   So what do you think is better in this...

Keeping the title in line with the Crack OTL's thread.   Bottlehead is releasing a new headphone amplifier, "With Output Transformer". It's not as low-cost as the Crack, but since it has output transformers, it will make it far easier to drive all headphones.   Here's the link...

... a set of akg k240's (600 ohm)?  I'm thinking no, but thought I would see if anybody has tried.    Reason I ask is a buddy of mine recently picked up a pair in pretty good shape, and they sound fine with his vintage pioneer amp, but I was curious if my little PA2V2 would be able to do...

Hello fellow Listeners,   I am looking to improve my System and would welcome any suggestions:   I am running the following Chain:   Iphone 4 + Fostex HP-P1 + Sennheiser HD 650   Most likely I should invest in a stronger amp? I like warm, "soft" Sound perhaps less analytic but...

My current setup is AT 900LTD cans, MHDT USB DAC, DiyHiFi Chazz Mk II OTL headphone amp.   I pretty much listen ONLY to 50s 60s jazz.  What's most important to me is proper timbre, fleshed-out tone & body, then dynamics, then nuance & detail.   I am interested in replacing the MHDT...

I just spent a good 3 hours with my AKG K-401's powered by the ASL MG Head-OTL. Bottom line....I liked them better than the 701's.   Normally I use the 401's with my portable rig. I don't know why it took me so long to A/B against the 701's in the main system. I guess I just assumed they...

Hi, I'm looking for a tube amp for my HD600 for under $400.

I've recently been able to try some tube amplifiers both for my stereo system and my D2000.   Of the hours I've spent listening so far, I've made a general observation that tube amps seem to sound less focused and everything is more blended together.  I've also noticed a less precise...

Hi guys, I have not been here for like 7 months, i was wondering are the dt990 600 ohm with WA3 still a good buy? I thought of buying them last time, and now i have the money. I already have a audio gd nfb3 dac. Or are there any other amp/headset that outperforms them with the same sound...

hey guys I purchased a set of these headphones now i need some help choosing an amp/dac. I've had my eye on a little dot mkIII but haven't pulled the trigger because I've read about some hiss, could have been an old thread. has the hiss/white noise issue been resolved?  i really would like...

I was just wondering if anyone out there had experience with both of these Amps and could comment on the sonic differences.  They are essentially the same price.  I know that the 6SE is Transformer coupled and so, theoretically should be better able to handle low impedance cans, but the WA2 is...

Just re the chinese built/made tube headphone amps are there any out there that are good and would you reccomend a chinese tube headphone amp. Also do most of these use chinese tubes or other brands How about their SQ ?

Hi, I just recently purchased my first set of high end headphones (AKG 701's from a head-fi user) and I was wondering on getting an amp to go along with it. I have looked around and with all the different stuff avaliable, I am unsure of what would be good. I am looking to buy something in a...

Hello everyone! Been reading all through this forum and there is a ton of great info here! So I have a question. I am looking to expand my equipment range with a tube amp. Looking to stay around the $200 mark give or take. Lets see, Music preference would mainly be Trance and Electronic music...
