        First impressions of the New T70p Headphones from Beyerdynamic When Alan from Beyerdynamic USA said there was a new Tesla headphone on the horizon and asked if I wanted to review it, I was like "Daaaaa Winning:)" I was thrilled to get the chance at a sneak peak. The launch of...

Hey Guys, I've just invested in some UM Miracle IEM's and am looking for a suitable portable setup, from what I've read this is pretty much the ideal setup for what I'm looking for, but as I'm quite new to all this, I thought I'd ask for some advice.   iPod Classic + Algorhythm Solo + ALO...

I'd be interested in your feedback. I dont envision going balanced, and I bought the 262s for their single-ended reputation, but it would be good to hear from someone who has actually used them in their intended configuration.

I got an SR-71B a few weeks ago & have been listening to it SE until a few days ago. I have never experienced the change between a SE & balanced set up personally but from all the reading I've done they always said it adds bass quantity & quality & texture etc plus the improved imaging.  ...

(Edit) Here you can discuss views about portable amps that go well and perhaps not so well with LCD2. Are there some amps that have better synergy with LCD2?   Some suggested amps   -Ray Samuels Sr-71b -Ibasso PB1/2 -Justin AudioUHA-120 -Justin Audio AHA-120 -Meir CORDA...

  I had lcd2 for about less than a month now and my left cup broke. :(   I don't use this headphone everyday, maybe 1 or 2 hours every other day with medium volume with RSA SR71b balanced cable.   Right side of the can is perfectly fine but just weird that one side break this easily...

I'm a noob to balanced portable listening and am interested in having my new Beyer DT1350s wired for balanced output from my RSA SR71B.   Given that the phones only cost 300, spending another 300 on new cabling seems high to me.   Is there an economical way to go that's worth it?   I...

After a purchase of a pair of DT880 Pro's, I have begun looking for a fairly good portable amp to drive them. After searching around for a while and reading other topics with the same question I have narrowed it down to 3 - mini^3 -Minibox E+ -Meiers headsix   I think im leaning more...

I've been looking at the 600 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s and am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an amplifier to keep up with the impedance. Or if anyone wants to suggest something other than the 880s, that's fine by me, too (encouraged, in fact!), but I am looking for some decent...

I've recently bought the SR71B and this is my first venture into balanced headphone world.   This is generally just for travel use so I'm not thinking large headphones.   I'm not using a balanced source yet, just ipod 160 lossless via line out port to single ended input.   While I'd...

I have been anxious for a portable dac with even more capabilities than the DB-1.    Here are some of the features:     1, Dual WM8740 +CS8416 +TAS1020B 2, 110dB SN and 101dB Crosstalk 3, Separated battery power supplies for the Analog section and Digital section. 4, Balanced...

  hey everyone, i currently have a predator and am thinking of maybe switching to a protector as I don't use the DAC much. That said, how much better is the protector as compared to the predator? That said, how good is the protector at all? I can't seem to find many reviews of the protector...

I'm new to the Head Fi world.  I have an Iphone 4 with Apple lossless files.  I'm in the process of getting my triplefi 10's remolded by fisher audio.  I am beginning the process of trying to find an external amp so i can use it when i'm on my commute to work.  So light weight and small package...

Hi Guys,    Curious about something ...    After reading many reviews and understanding the concept, I'm totally sold on the Algorhythm Solo.   However, I'm trying to decide which amp to get -- I'm considering either the SR-71B or the Rx Mk2.    The way I see it ...    SR-71B...

The title is my question... which is the best portable amp?...     if i get it good, the battle is somewhere around ibasso pb2, emmeline sr71b, practical devices xm6, and (?) fiio e11?.....        let's say that i want to drive sennheiser hd650, sennheiser hd800, akg k701...

Hey guys, I recently decided that the ultrasone pro 900 is the right choice for me, but I have doubts about the amp.. I need an amp that is portable, I thought about  The ray samuels amps, the predator or 71B looks like the right choice for me, they are both pricey the 71b goes for 650 dollars...

Has anyone heard anything of it? I was just about to pull the trigger in the toucan/ boomslang, when they release the pelican. What could the improvements on the db2 be and are they gonna be worth the wait? Has anyone heard of an eta? Id like to get a matching amp and dac but I'd like to order...

I have the best portable source/amp, hifiiman 801 and SR-71B. do you think this is good enough to power HD800, balance and give you a great sound ? or does HD800 demand better than them to be worthwhile?

Hi All, I'm a newly born Audiophile. I've always had an ear for finer sounds, but as of late of made it official :) I've got a pair of Grado RS1i's and am looking for a good portable amp to go with using an ipod as the source. I know it's not that difficult to drive Grado's but would appreciate...

First, I fully appreciate naming these little devices after some of the most powerful crafts in the world. My question is, in terms of the Protector and SR-71B, how does balancing an unbalanced source be of any benefit, as within the source device, there is already a common ground?   Thank...

I already have an Edition 9. I want to get another headphone, such as edition 8. Is it not recommended to have both the 8s and 9s? ... I will use them balanced, with SR-71B. Hifiman as source. So keep that in mind when giving a recommendation.

  I’ve been on this website for a little while and have read many of your guys’ portable amp reviews and decided after purchasing my own, it was time to give back to the community with a review of my own. *Note, that I have the Leckerton UHA-6 and not the UHA-6S which has a bunch of bells...

I've been reading head-fi over the past few months while shopping for my first part of audiophile headphones. There really is a lot of great information on this site (mostly in the forums) that eventually led me to 3 choices. I decided to pull the trigger on 3 of them at Amazon for comparison...

I was quite sure about purchasing a schiit Valhalla tube amp until I discovered Ray's portable amps. This one (P-51 Mustang) looks really cool. Could it handle a pair of HD-650 decently? If not, which one of Ray's amps (portable if possible) should I get?   Thanks
