I'm looking for some good headphones for classical music listening - from solo violin to big symphonic Mahler. Right now I'm using Grado Sr125's and they're a little too bright. I'm also looking for something with more depth in the soundstage but still clear and articulate. As of now I've...

I really enjoy these headphones. They have very good detail and lovely midrange. I wish I can have a pair of speakers that sound very much like the K701. In terms of similar Midrange, vocals and detail etc. Thanks, S.

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...

As the title says, one that can drive (at least decently) $600-$700 cans just fine (HiFiMan HE-5)?

Just wondering what Woo Audio amp would be in the same category as the Little Dot MK IV ($350). The WooAudio 3 ($500) or the WooAudio 6 ($600)?

Hey all,   I'm looking for an amp that's solid state, very fast, very neutral (or bordering on bright) and pretty powerful.   It would a plus if the amp included a loop out and or crossfeed option.     Thanks:)

Simple. Does the Loop Out only function when the amp is turned on (does it function when it's off)? I don't have many RCA cables on hand so.   Thank you.

Hi !   I am wondering if i could use the headphone out of the GL for small 6 Ohm Speakers ?

Today while watching a documentary on my PC I hear this scratching sound and realized that the LOOP OUT  RCA outputs wires were not connected to my speaker system and instead the connector end made contact with the steel edge of my desk. Now the left channel in my Amp is outputting at around...

I know there are tons and tons of threads on this topic, believe me I'm reading a lot of them. I thought something more current might help some newer head-fier's out.   (ahem, me for starters i guess)   To keep the thread respectable, there's a given list of what two amps (users can...

I'm currently torn between several amps, and I was hoping you guys could help me out! I currently have a HF-2 (in the process of being Vixened), and already have a set up of uDac + Little Dot I+, but I was hoping for an upgrade (if it's noticeably better?). I pmed several people that I have...

As of this month, Justin has officially discontinued the Gilmore Lite. See for yourself: HeadAmp - Audio Electronics (Gilmore Lite Headphone Amp) Thank you Justin for providing this community with one of the finest products in its price category for almost six years running. The Gilmore...

I know there are already threads in the forums with similar topics and the cardinal rule of forums is to search first. I have been searching and reading for days, but the number of options and recommendations for an amp that pairs well with the AKG K702 headphones is starting to get confusing...

  Hey head-fi'ers!   I am in a bit of trouble, I hope some you guys can help me out.   I would really like to try and get my hand on the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite, however it is now discountinued and before i start a thread in the FS forums I need some advice.    I like in the EU and as...

This is a followup post to the "$500 budget for Mag Dogs" thread someone else posted. They settled on a Schiit Bitfrost and Asgard 2.   I currently have the Mad Dog's with the Schiit stack and probably will get the Alpha Dog's once reviews start coming in (and possible offered in another...

I was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with the Gilmore Lite (with DPS, in my case) and the Beyerdynamic '05 'Premium' DT990's. I am aware that there are 32, 250 and 600 ohm versions. I assume that, as the GLite is of low impedance/high current, the 600 ohm versions are not a...

This thread was previously titled "What? No Gilmore Lite Appreciation Thread?!" Seeing as there still appears to be no such thread for the Gilmore Lite and related Kevin Gilmore DIY Dynalo board-based amps, I thought it appropriate to amend the thread title so that we can wax poetic about this...

Ok! So I ordered a Glite about 2 weeks ago, never heard from Jutsin, got on the forums, got a thread locked (mostly people complaining about his lack of communication), and have been waiting patiently. Ummm, now this amp is discontinued.............So with no communication from Justin, does...
