    Denon D2000 Amping help please

    Hey everybody, so my thread earlier helped me to decide that my next set of cans is going to the be Denon D2000s. From what I hear the clean and deep sub bass that doesn't mud up the mids and highs sounds ideal for my liking.   I have also heard that they sound significantly better amped up...

    Something wrong with my Musical Fidelity X-CAN v8!

    I get a subtle but extremely high pitched ringing in the right channel... It usually settles down when I tap my fingers on the top of the amp, but this is unacceptable. What may be the cause of this? I'm guessing it has something to do with the tubes.

    Musical Fidelity X-Can V8P Gets Gold Lion Tubes

    Yesterday I installed a matched pair of Gold Lion ECC88 tubes in my Musical Fidelity X-Can V8P headphone amplifier. I don't have a clue who manufactures the stock tubes. There wasn't any name or place of origin printed on the tubes, only ECC88. I must admit that the stock tubes sounded very...

    Comparison: Lehmann back cube linear, Earmax pro, X-Can V8p (with HD 650)

    Recently, the german hifi magazine Audio published a comparison between the Grado GS 1000 and the Sennheiser HD 800. In a side note, they also wrote about the amps they used and rated them. The Musical Fidelity x-can V8p, that I own, was placed 3rd out of 4, while the Lehmann black cube linear...

    First amp, Harmony Design EAR 90 or other (cheaper) alternative?

    Hello!   I'm about ready to purchase my first amp, to be used mainly at home. I want something that will give me a good bang for the buck and work decently with a variety of phones - the idéa of having several amps to fit different headphones sounds far to combersome and expensive...

    Heed CanAmp, Graham Slee Solo SRG II, or X-Can V8P?

    These have both been around long enough to move past FOTM so I was hoping to get some opinions from owners or previous owners of these amps. This will be for a desktop rig using either an iTouch as a source or my work PC through a v-dac. The main headphones I will be using will be the D5000...

    Musical Fidelity X-Can v8 for AKG K701 (currently own Heed Canamp)?

    I currently own a Heed Canamp and use AKG K701 headphones (probably still breaking in at 100 hour mark).   Can anyone describe in detail how different a presentation the Musical Fidelity X-Can v8 would provide vs. my current Heed Canamp?

    Musical Fidelity X-CANV8P

    The X-CANV8P is an advance on the outgoing X-CANv3. The difference is similar to comparing an Audi A4 compared to an Audi RS4. They both look similar but the performance is light years apart. The X-CANV8P will drive any headphone easily (including the wicked AKG1000) and deliver sweet neutral...
