Hello there   Before I start I would just like to thank first Andy (Smial 1966) who organized the UK 2012 Head-Fi Meet in Cambridgeshire.   Also would like to thank White Bird Amplification  who donated a prize to the raffle, and I was the very lucky person who won that prize the...

Hi, I have heard the HD800s with my Grace Design m903 and i thought they sounded great (no reference to compare to). I overwhelmingly see Headfi participants recommend tube amps for the Sennheisers. If I wanted to just use it as a DAC and buy a tube amp for the HD800s what amps would recommend...

I just got my Lyr with bunch of NOS tubes. I have the tubes laying around in the ugly cardboard box. I would very much appreciate it if I can find some nice looking display boxes for them. Any advice on storing them?

I am very new to all this high end audiophile stuff but I eagerly want to become part of the community. I have about 15% hearing loss in each ear and I know that there is a world of sound around me that everyone gets to experience but me. I spend a gross amount of time at my PC and would like to...

Hello everyone , this is my first thread here, i get a chance to acquire this lovely headphone at a good price from my friend ,huge improvement from my old pairs. However, i realized that i should upgrade my system and get a proper headphones amp/dac to go with this headphones. Any...

Anyone have any suggestions on a Tube Amp under $400?  possibly $500.  It will be paired with a Fostex HP-A3 dac.

Is it possible to find an Amp that has an audio optical in port in the rear of the box, with a 6.3mm headphone port in the front?     Any recommendations?

Hey guys,    I'm new here and if there's a separate recommendations thread/forum and i'm being an ******* by posting this here, seriously sorry.    Anyway, I have a fiio e7/e9 combo im using to power my Ultrasone Pro900s. I listen almost exclusively to electronic music (trance, house...

Hey all!   I've now almost completed my headphone setup. Here it is:   Technics Sp-10, plinthless on a concrete slab. TTWeights Ultimat. Alchemist audio record weight.   Audio-technica ATP-12t broadcast arm, on an armored concrete / panzerholz armpod and mapleshade spikes.  ...

I'm thinking of getting the tubes I'm using with my Woo WA6-SE cryoed (currently using a NOS RCA 6DR7).   I'm interested to hear stories of changes from cryoing tubes, for the Woo or other amps.

    No, its not the Zodiac, and the 'worlds best' is a parting shot at Srajan for injecting that possibility into a preview of a product he hasn't even reviewed properly yet. Fans of the Mac Mini will be jubilant at the prospect.          Sadly, very few of us could afford it...

My current setup uses all SS gear but I'm keen to explore what tubes can do for my listening experience!  I've got a balanced source (Audio-GD Ref 7.1) and all my headphones are equipped with 4 pin balanced plugs so I'm keen to go for a fully balanced headphone amp.  Having done...

I have both of these amps and I am not satisfied with the customized one.  Is there anyone out there in Headfi land that has a good customized SRA 12s?  How is it set up and what headphones are you using.  I use my Stax Sigma Non Pro 6 pins on the non customized 12s.  It is an amazing sound. ...

Hi all, I am looking at my first foray into the high end headphone market. I currently have a HD650 headphone, but like every audiophile, I want the best sound obtainable.   So i'm looking at purchasing the Stax SR-009. Trouble is i'm not sure what amp to pair it with. After reading through...

Sorry for creating a new topic, but I did not see a recommendation thread on Summit-fi.   OK, here is my situation: Currently own:  AKG K701 + Sennheiser HD650.   Using my Onkyo reciever as headphone amp (and its headphone out is very capable, it can drive even the Hifiman HE6s).     I...

Hi there, This may be a funny question but coming from speaker setups where we often advocate the use of separates - as in splitting up USB, DAC, Pre-amp and going monoblocks - I've noticed many headphone amps are sold as an integrated (with pre-amp built in), even top of the line products...

I have a Pioneer Spec-1 preamplifier, and a pair of Adcom GFA-565 mono power amplifiers.     The reason why I bought the pair of power amps was to drive headphones through SPEC-1.   As you guys know, the Spec-1 doesn't have its headphone amplifier.  A power amplifier should back up the...

I have beyerdynamic DT250 headphones: 45mm drivers 250Ohms 100mW 97dB I sealed off the cup exhaust ports and covered the cups with acoustic foam to maximize isolation and tighten up the bass that was dark, overpowering and slow to release. After the changes they sounded bright and bass...

So, I currently have the DT990 600 Ohm and the Denon D7000.  I'm running them through a Titanium HD to a JDS Labs O2 amp.  I also plan on getting the HD650's if I can get lucky on a good price.   Do you think the above sound card and amp are good enough for now, or would you recommend...

Can I plug an iphone... into a DAC, then the DAC into a headphone amp, and then headphones into the amp... I can't seem to find the answer.  Is this possible?  I'm new to this...
