I know these two amps are in different price leagues but is the Woo Audio worth the extra money? Currently the MK III can be had for about $225 and the Woo Audio 3 for $495 plus shipping. I am using a set of beyer dt770's and wondering if I should get the Woo Audio 3 or if the Little Dot MK III...

Starting Up   Todd The Vinyl Junkie offered me the opportunity to review the latest offering from Apex, the “Arête” headphone amp.  Which of course I jumped at – it looks like a nice design, and I had thought very highly of the Apex Peak I reviewed last year.   The Arête is really as...

Well i have my HD 598 but im looking for a amp, not sure what it is for :D but almost everybody i know owns a small amp for headphones, so after i got my mixer from behringer i looked at his amps and i found this:  Behringer HA400   http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/HA400.aspx   So i...

I have recently enjoyed listening to the new Sound Performance Lab Phonitor. A stationary headphone monitoring amplifier. After a search here on head-fi I did not find anything so I thought I might start a thread on it. (or my search was wrong ) I was really stunned! It drove an Ultrasone...

Hi all it's my first look in this forum and i need the community's help.   in 2-3 weeks i will be getting the new Phone from Samsung, the SGSII and i'm going to need a amp for this because unfortunately this devise doesn't have the on board amp and dac it's predecessor had, which used...

Hi everyone,   I'm officially new here, but have been reading you all for a while. Since apparently no one here has reported on this, I'll share the info I've gathered as a token of my gratitude for the information you've all given me through your posts...   I was in the market for a new...

I apologize in advance if this is an outdated topic. I've been interested in the Arrow amp since its inception, but have never really had the means to purchase one. Recently I looked up on the Headphonia website to find that the 3G was no longer offered, and had since been replaced with a...

Hello, I've been on here for a few months searching and searching for my perfect set up. As a student I am basically poor, so I'm unable to buy and try all the products that catch my interest, so I TRULY appreciate all the help you people give to me. I do try to do all the research I can but at...

Introduction I first heard The Predator at the NY Head-Fi meet, November 2007. Ray was very anxious for people it hear it and I was quite impressed when my turn came around. The DAC section was being compared to Ray's Meridian G08 and scarcely one of us could tell the difference in A/B tests...

I got the upgrade kit for my 2004 Solo MC approx 1 month ago. If anyone is considering going for the DIY kit but worried about fitting then don't be, it really is simple.   Since then it has been plugged in 24/7 and have clocked up a fair few hours listening now.   I was happy with my...

Has anyone actually heard/used both of these amps.  Any helpful thoughts?  I know one is tubed, the other SS.  Markl reviewed the HR-2 a while ago and thought it was not a harsh SS.  Please feel free to be as detailed as you are able. Thanks for your time..........Lori

As the title says, I want one of these amps, and I wondered what would be the better on. It will be running my iPod, with mainly acoustic jazz, and my headphones are Shure 840. I also wondered if the 'crossfeed' function is a welcomed feature.   Input and recommendations highly appreciated.

As title says - I'm also particularly interest to see where the Heed Canamp comes into this equation. Alot of people say that it's very warm, bassy, colored, and the perfect partner for the K701...etc... But it also seems to make everything sound bigger and more 'exciting' than it should be...

It has one 1/4 inch jack and one 3.5mm jack at the front end - can both be used at the same time without any damage to the headphones or the amp itself?   Has anyone done this and found it works alright?   Can the 2 headphones be of different impedance ie. 16ohms into the 3.5mm and...

Hi all;      so after reading a lot about the Little Dot I+ and how it works very well with Grados (I have a pair of SR80i's) and it sounds fantastic. The only problem that I have so far is that it seems to be pretty loud. I'm listening to it right now and the knob is around 10 (out of 100)...

Im looking to buy one of these two amps. Has anyone compared the two? Are they even on the same level?    I listen to alot of rock, metal, alternative, and some rap. I currently use HD580 with 600 grills and 650 cable. DAC will be a NuForce DAC2.  Will also be getting Grado 225 soon aswell...

I am looking for a reasonably-priced tube headphone amp for my desktop system (source: iPod or PC via Pro-Ject USB Box/Foobar 2000, Kimber Timbre cable), to drive Denon AD-H1001 headphones (from my portable setup - to be upgraded, possibly to Sennheiser 650s or similar in the medium term). I...

I was originally looking at purchasing a Woo WA5 last August but at the time was put off by the high shipping cost and the fact that I would have also wanted the parts upgrade and better tubes which would have pushed the cost out to around 6k inc. shipping so I opted for a Red Wine Audio...

I have been lucky enough to have both the WA6SE and WA2 side-by-side for a while and have spent the past couple of weeks listening to both amps. I should be finished the review over the weekend and will post it when it's all done. I primarily wanted to know for myself if the WA2 was inherently...

I have verified it, tube is not for AD700.  Why is that?  Anybody know?

I am in the market for an amp that can be used with 600 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT770. The message seems to be the same everwhere: Desktop amps work best, and there are very few (and very expensive) portable amps that work with the headphones but they don't do as good a job as desktop amps. Since I...

Hallo, here's the new portable amp by Qes labs :   http://www.qeslabs.com/e_portable-desktop_headphone_amp.asp   I've had the chance to test for some days this brand new product made by QES Labs, from the new 'FUGA' series. The Portable/Desktop Amp, as the name says, finds it's...

hi not new to the forum but i just joined as im ready now to delve into the world of high-end audio. i have decided to purchase a pair of headphones and narrowed it down to the audio technica ath-m50's or the sennheiser hd558's. im looking for a combo amplifier and DAC (im aware that separate...
