Hi everyone, I need an amp (not neccessarily portable) for my iems at home and possible future headphones (i intend to keep this one for a while) I heard from Ray that they have the sr71a back in stock (i thought this was originally a limited item). I know that probbably no one has heard all...

Hi everyone, I need a new amp mainly for my home rig but since I mostly use iems a portable will do, might also be nice with my iphone 4 on the go. I am deciding between the rsa mustang and the headstage shadow. The price difference does not matter to me and both battery times would be long...

Hi guys,       Some I was going to purchase an amp (this will be the first decent amp i'll be buying because i've used the Fiio E5 before and i thought it didn't change the sq at all, which kinda discouraged me from buying portable amps for a while), and i was wondering the difference...

Hey! I use D50 run with D5000 but I'm not  satisfied the sound now i wanna use a portable amp i don't care if it has dac . I'm wondering like stepdance iqube or lisa3? please!!!!! Thanks!!!!

Hey guys I love everything about my IE8s and I find they are absolutely perfect for my taste except in one area, clarity. I find they have a sort of a cloud over the sound, which isn't quite noticable until I switch to my other IEMs. I have considered getting other top tier IEMs but I can't seem...

I'm using Senn 650s/580s with a HeadRoom Total BitHead amplifier. I love BitHead's dual output feature a lot. My wife and I can listen together.   However, BitHead is not designed for driving 300ohms phones. I feel the sound is not crystal clear and the bass is not tight, though the volume...

Hey fellas, long time lurker here. I own a FiiO E7 amp but it's not quite cutting it for me and I'm looking for something much better. After some research I've narrowed it down to 3 portable amps. I'd appreciate any info you guys can provide as to what would give me the most "wow" factor. I...

OK in the past I have used the hornet, tomnhawk, and the pico original w/ dac. Well time has come again to get an amp shortly. Is the p51 that much better than the tomahawk? Is there something else I should try?

I am a big fan of Ray's amps and over the past 5-6 yrs have owned the original Blackbird, the Hornet M, and the Tomahawk. Currently all I use is the Tomahawk because of its very small size--I use the newest tiny Nano and the older square Nano (the one that came out just before the newer video...

Hey guys,     Having owned the Arrow for a few months now, I am curious about the lack of comparison to other amps. Not to mention the lack of detailed reviews. I have made a slew of upgrades to my system recently, but I promise once I feel I have achieved the sound signature I wanted and...

Hey guys this is Ben This is my first time creating a new thread so understand if i make mistakes.. I bought se535 and sold my um3x (cost me 100$) i use ipod touch 4g which i just got and i think i want a portable amp to go with... is portable amp necessary? also i was looking at RSA...

I'm looking for a headphone amp around that price range. I will use them to power an M50, and in the future, either a Denon AHD2000 or Audio Technica ESW9. I listen to all types of music. If it helps, i like the sound of the M50's before burn-in occurs. I like the fullness of the bass of the...

Hi All!   New blood here :)   I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum cans (which are great!) and I'm thinking of picking up a headphone amp to go with them.   I have been considering one of the Ray Samuels amps - either the P51 or the Shadow...   Mainly just running off...

I know this question is like trying to determine what ingredients are in Wolfgang Puck's signature dish, but I cannot find the answer to this question anywhere.

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

hi everybody, it's my first time posting.   I was wondering if the P-51 mustang would be able to power up a pair of Ultrason HFI 780 headphones? or would I just be better off getting a pair of IEM's?

Hello all, I have finally settled on my new rig. I am waiting on my UM3X's to arrive and, for now, I will stick with my classic until something better comes through or I decide to DIYmod a 5.5gen Ipod. A lot of the reviews make the UM3X out to be very accurate but not "fun" so-to-speak. The Amps...

Hi, i would appreciate if any of you guys could help me out on this. I've done a lot of reading, but am now just looking for some direct answers. I'm looking for a good DAC and headamp to use with some PRO900s. I'm currently using computer soundcard as source. The 900s have about 100 hours...

as above....esp most RSA amps have protruding case which makes it a problem to mount DAP on top of it! I would find tat a Pico amp have better designs on their case work which have flush case. The protruding part tends to scratch the DAPas well! :(    

I searched the forums and did not find anyone else that has done this. I am hearing good things about Ray Samuels Protector Balanced head amp and am thinking of getting my Etymotic er4s's recabled anyone have any thoughts? Is the Protector better than the P51 Mustang?

Anyone find an amp that has great synergy with the 13s yet? Mustang, Pico, Tomahawk?

would there be any noticable difference between using a shadow, with a pair of grado 225I or monster pro golds, i always thought the shadow was targeted to iems, so i wanted to know if there would any sort of difference between the two

Hello, so like the title says I am looking for an ultra portable headphone AMP to use with Sennheiser IE8 and COWON D2. Size of COWON is: 78x55.4x16.6mm (WxHxD). Any recommendations would be very helpful Thanks

Hello, I currently use the RSA Hornet with the Ultimate Ears UE-11 and was thinking of getting the JH Audio JH16 or the UE-18 and possibly upgrading the amp if there has been any breakthroughs in portable amps that can offer me something that would be considered better than what I currently...
