Hi guys I currently own a DT990 250ohms and was thinking about getting a tube amp to improve the sound signature of the DT990s. I've read some threads about the Denon D2000s being pretty awesome for bass and in some people's opinions actually bettering the DT990s. So I was wondering, which pair...

Ok what would you buy and a strict headphone tube amp? The little dot, darkvoice, woo audio. I'm looking for some Wow factor but am scared to go to cheap. Any ideas. Thanks.   headphone = ALO recabled Ultrasone HFi 780                         ATH M50                         Denon D5000  

i consider the woo amps to be the one of the best, but i wonder what their main competition is, do they only offer head amps?

I will most likely get some HD580s, but I'm worried about how much I'll need to spend on a decent amp. All I have at the moment is a CMoy I know is nowhere near good enough (auditioned some HD600s with it. It was pleasant enough, but lacking dynamics/volume/low-end control). I'll be...

Hey all, I know this has probably been discussed to death but I'm pretty much new to the whole tube amp thing. I'm curious about your guys thoughts on these 2 amps with the hd600? Which would you buy if you had the money for either and why? It seems like I couldn't go wrong with either one...

what are some proven head amps that are notible for sounding good with your vinyl,, tube amps are said to bode well, what are some of the best sounding under 1000. also any preamps for turntables worth mentioning? how much a diff do they truly make? thanks

Hello there! My senns 650 are screaming to be amped and i was wondering which amp i should go for. I'am really fond of tubes, the warmness and musicality. But i have heard great things about meier products (german engineered, better support?). are there some other options i should go for? (...

Hello All,   I've recently bought a pair of HD600's and have connected them in to my Cyrus hifi, which comprises of   Cyrus CD8X / PSX-R , PreVs2 / PSX-R , a pair of Mono X's and Focal 816WSE's   Now these headphones are a real gem however i get the feeling that the headphone output...

Fitz's posts on modding the Darkvoice 336 are well worth a read. I'm curious if anyone has modded the DV332.   In particular, I'm curious whether anyone has determined what's going on with global negative feedback in the DV332. The lack of a very great difference in sound when tuberolling as...

Today my Darkvoice 336SE finally arrived! First few hours and it sounded great. Although some humming on the left channel but it seemed to disappear more and more. But all of a sudden it stopped working The big tube doesn't glow at all now. Can it possibly be just a broken tube? Noticed...

I'm looking at getting an OTL design tube amp for my hi impedance DT990s. I've think I've narrowed it down to the LD MKIV and the Darkvoice 336SE. I want to spend in the $300-$350 range. I've checked out the Woo Audio products and I know they would be a good match but I just don't want to drop...

I’m in the market for a new tube amp, OTL for under 400$. I’ve shortlisted the Darkvoice 3322, the Audiotailor Jade and the Little Dot MKIV (so far). It will be used mainly for 600ohm Beyers, but it would be nice if they were good for low impedance headphones as well. (The amp will be used...

I tried to use it as preamp to my speaker amp but the sound I got was no bass at all!!! Only high and dry. Anyone have any idea to solve or it's only fault of my amp?

I'm considering getting my first tube amp and I'm curious about the new, upgraded Darkvoice 336SE, now named LA Figaro 336. I haven't really seen any thread about the new 336, anyone bought it? Impressions please. I listen to mostly metal/rock and jpop/jrock. It's going to be for my Grado...

Introduction: The Darkvoice 336 that some people here at Head-fi began taking orders on early last year generated tremendous interest in this Chinese headphone amp manufacturer. Its polished looks, meticulous construction and outstanding sound grabbed my attention as well. For a couple of...

Hello head-Fiers,   What is the best tube amp that doesn't produce hiss or slight crackling. I don't want to mention what I have as I may be selling them. I'm looking and Woo, Little Dot, and Darkvoice. This will be for night stand listening. Thanks for your insight. I have an imod as the...

So I'm coming from the following so you know what my reference points are:   Home Hifi - various, unremarkable sources, marantz receiver, polk and athena speakers Head fi - Grado sr60 (the "gateway drug") and various ipods   My impressions about 20hrs in:   1. I initially missed...

Still new to this, but I own HD650's and I've narrowed my choices down to these 2 amps. Which would go best with the senheisers?   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I opened my new used DarkVoice 336i & my 78 year old father asked if I had bought an antique.  LOL He is an EE also so we both had a laugh at the "new technology" and how pretty everything looks.  But he was really shocked with how good the amp sounded with my HF-2 headphones and how low the...

How do these two amps DV336 and ASL MG Head OTL Mk III compare for 300- and 600-ohm headphones?   Also, what are the differences between the 336i and the 336se?

In some ways, it has never been easier to buy a headphone amp: unlike years ago, there is no shortage of them on the market, with a bewildering number of different brands and designs available. This “bewildering number,” however, turns the choice of which new amp to buy into a difficult and time...

At the moment, I am using my dell inspiron laptop connected via USB to spdif converter to the internal DAC on my Marantz SR-4300 AV Receiver. I suppose this sounds decent enough having never heard a dedicated headphone amp, but lately have been thinking if things would sound a lot better through...

I really like the sound of my rig: Music Hall Maverick CDP DarkVoice DV332 Beyerdynamic DT990/600 It sounds great but it can sound better, right?  I was thinking of upgrading my amp to a CSP2 , MAD Ear+ or DNA Sonnett.  My question is would this be an actual upgrade? What I like...

Has anyone got any insight/experience into this combo? The general impression is that tube amps do the sa5000's lower end some good.

After lurking for a few weeks I decided to pick up a DarkVoice 336SE as generally people seemed to be having good results and the tube rolling options were fairly wide.   I received the amp today, and unfortunately it seems to be broken =(   I tried many sources in vain to no avail, I...
