just looking around on ebay and found this, it has all the inputs and outputs i could ever want with a hybrid tube amp, it looks very tempting but i cant find anything on it so im hoping someone knows if its good/bad.    ...

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...

Hi    I bought an Audio-gd Compass back when they first offered them for sale. About 2 years later, I noticed an occasional audio dropout - like a quick 1 second blank spot...but then the sound would return.   The Compass was being used exclusively for PC audio, fed to the Compass via...

Hey guys, like alot of people I've been lurking the forums for a long time so I have learned alot from you guys but still would like an opinion. I'm looking for my first high end headphones, I've been using earbuds around 50 dollars for a long time so I don't favour or hate any particular...

Does the MF Tube Buffer V3 Power Supply Unit work with my X-Can V8?  I kinda want to get this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160570147556&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1076wt_718

Someone is selling a headphone amp chassis "kit" on eBay that includes a nice thick front panel with a recess milled out for the volume knob, comes with knob, power switch, IEC power inlet, rubber feet and so on.   Has silk-screened "VOLUME"  "POWER" and "PHONES" labels on front panel. rear...

As of now I think this is just a study in design, but boy does it look beautiful:     Here is a link to the site: http://glowka.carbonmade.com/projects/2935800#1   I really hope my next amp will look as nice.

Hi,   I'm trying to buy a HA-160D for my LCD-2s, however there seems to be a drought in the UK. I noticed Moon Audio are selling a few on ebay with international postage. Does anyone know if I bought the amp from the US it would work in the UK with a different voltage/cable?   Many thanks

Does anyone here have this amp?

This tread is meant for Schiit Lyr users to share experiences regarding tube rolling on the amplifier in question. There are some experiences in other threads, but sparse postings makes it difficult to keep track on experiences and interpret a consensus of what kind of tubes make what kind of...

So i currently run Spotify -> V-DAc -> Little Dot MkII -> AKG K701   Is the Little Dot MkII letting me down? There is an itching annoying feeling that I'm missing out big time. I know they are hard to drive but it sounds like i'm way off the mark of the true potential of these headphones...

Hello Folks,I have a spare psu from a  dac which runs at 15 volts.The psu that came with the V-cans is 12 volts.I have tried the dac psu with the V-cans and it sounds much better than the standard psu would the fact that the dac psu is 15 volts break the V-cans eventually.I have no knowledge of...

Would I expect to hear a difference between running a Total AirHead on batteries vs. a 12v wall wart that meets Headroom's specs? I know that AC power can possibly introduce noise or hum, but would the 12v supply provide something that the batteries cannot? The amp will be driving HD-600's.

Simply put, my La Figaro 332 Classic isn't working.... Comes no sound out of it..... Can I do anything about it or is my money gone in the wind ? Bought it from Luckyfrogaudio, a ebay seller.... But I can't return it there, they don't even exist anymore..... So if I can't fix this somehow, I...

I had trouble finding comments on the matchup between W5000 and Schiit Asgard. I really enjoy the sound of W5000 with even with iphone. As a first step to upgrade, I'm considering Asgard or possibly Valhalla. For DAC, I'm considering audinst. If you have had any experience, I want to know how it...

I don't understand how this can be happening.  I wish it wasn't.   If I use this signal chain, everything works just like you think it would:   Computer soundcard line out -> Little Dot MK III input -> Beyer DT880   However, if I change it to this:   Computer USB -> Musical...

So I've been reading quite a bit and have narrowed my search for a solid state amp. My goal is a "wire with gain", "revealing of the source" philosophy. So within my budget it seems that the best options seem to be the Headamp Gilmore Lite with the dedicated power supply or the Meier Audio Corda...

I've been corresponding with Garry at Musical Paradise and he shared some information on the upcoming update of the MP-301. He said it would be okay if I posted this information here. I thought it might be of general interest, given the good reception the original MP-301 tube amp received.   ...

So I'm looking to buy my first standalone amplifier to break out from the one built into my Yulong D100. My goal is to purchase the most transparent and detailed amp I can for under $1000. Some of the options I've compiled after doing a lot of lurking around here are Yulong A100, AMB M^3...

I received my Darkvoice 336SE about three weeks ago and am looking to upgrade tubes or interconnects.  I am currently running the stock tubes.****** also it may be important to note this is my first Head Amp also first tube amp.******  The interconnects are IXOS cheapies.  Obviously I want the...

Hi All,   I seem to be having a few problems with my new toy the little dot mk I+.   Problem is i'm getting some nasty interference plugging them into my Razer Barracuda sound card via headphone out (there's no dedicated line out).     The razer barracuda plugs into my Sony...

I'm definitely excited for the Lyr launch. I've been debating whether or not to get the LCD-2 but with the Lyr on the horizon, it may just make sense for those that aren't looking to build a million dollar system around the orthos.   Does anyone have the feeling that the Lyr can become the...

Alright, so I currently have Sennheiser HD 380 Pros (54 ohm), which I mostly listen to off of my desktop. My desktop is a 4 or 5 year old HP with a 4 or 5 year old sound card. Now my questions are these: 1. Do I even need an amp? 2. I'm looking at Sennheiser 595s (50 ohm), would those need...

Ok, this is my first post so be patient with me. I owe a lot to this forum because you saved me from buying the Bose noise canceling headphones and opened a world of great products up to me. This is my feeble attempt to begin repaying you for that great advice. I find myself on a plane nearly...

So, my first headphone is arriving, a Sennheiser HD428, I've only had IEMs for the time being, I'm with a pair of RE0 now. A lot of people say that HD428 need amp to sound good as hell, so I'm searching a budget and entry level amp, the problem is that I don't have too much space for stuff, so...
