Hello All,   I just recieved my new pair of monster MD iems, I am listening to some music on my ipod classic 120gb ripped at 320kbps and the bass does not seem to hit as hard as I thought it would, I am looking to purchase an amp the ones I had in mind were: TTVJ slim, pico slim, or the...

I just ordered the Beyerdynamic DT1350. Since these headphones seem to react well to amplification, I'd like to get my first and only portable headphone amp to use with them. The amp should serve me as a long-term investment, so it should not only work well with the DT1350, but all my future...

Hello:   I am pretty new to Head-fi.  I have had a fantastic time wasting too much money on this new headphone hobby though.  I would like the ask the following question(s):   How vast of a difference is there in the SQ between an amped and umamped JH13 (likely with a portable amp)? ...

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 posted this in the portable amp forum because it started out as a question about amps, but turned into an all out throwdown between these headphones. Just thought I'd move it to this forum since people seem to be curious about these headphones ... here ya go!   " Okay, just in case...

Hi All,        I'm afraid the 'Reviews' flagged by Head-Fi's search engine are just threads discussing the amp rather than actual impressions, and the Slim doesnt seem to get a lot of keystrokes. There are a couple of impressions over at Headfonia, but I think Skylab's reviews of Todd's...

Hi everyone.   I will be purchasing an iPhone in the summer (likely the new gen, but not certain) and it will fill both my need for a new phone as well as a new music player. I listen to foreign music, usually trance/house and club but also rock so I mainly have access only to mp3s as source...

Hello all.   I really didnt want to write another 'what should I get' thread, but Im a bit overwhelmed by the information here.   I recognize that different headphones are better suited to different types of music. Much of the music I listen to is Trance or House, or other club music...

Id like to upgrade from the total bit head which i find good, but a bit lacking in general.  MAin use is with W3.  Id like a slim form factor.  In sum,  is there something on the level of an RSA Predator but skinny.....   Options i found thus far are   TTVJ w/ dac Leckerton slim  ...

I listen to pretty much everything, but I'd say my focus is mainly on Rock/Metal and female vocals. I have a pair of k702s, but I'm thinking of returning them because I need closed cans for isolation and I'd like a tiny bit more oomph. They have about 200hrs of break in, so not sure how much...

What are the best ultra portable amps for IEM's under $400USD?   Obviously, I will be using it with IEM's and I want it to be slim and portable.

I was wondering besides RMCAudio and Amazon, are there other sites that you guys could recommend?

While I wait for my incoming ms-1i, back in the day, headfiers were pretty happy with the TTVJ flats. There were lots of Grado mods, but those were very popular more or less across the board for stock Grado/Alessandros. Times have changed though, maybe having something to do with the i updates...

So I'm in audio nirvana with my desktop setup and am really happy with it (electrostatic, HE90's playing out of a Woo WES maxxed w/ nos tubes, source is a Amarra 4 DAC / heavily tweaked headless mac mini with linear psu and lots of power cleaning).  Itching to get some nice quality audio while...

Hi all   Would be interested to learn if anyone has any opinions on these 2   Would be using a Ipod Classic and TTVJ Slim to listen to Apple Lossless   Cheers   jon

*** EDIT *** This started out as a Q and A post, apparently either poorly written or lame...  It is now an occasional chronicle of my reconfiguring.   My concerns with Portable gear: I listen at low volume levels, and have trouble with the likes of the Headstage Arrow (too much gain.  Rob...

The successor to the TTVJ Slim is out, the new Apex Glacier   I just got mine and I'll update this post as people start getting theirs and put up reviews and comments.   From talking to Todd, the dac is a big step up from the old one in the Slim. While the amp is basically the same, it...

Hi, I'm currently running a P-51+Nano 5G as my portable rig. I'm in the market for another portable amp to be used w the nano and an ipad.   I was wondering if anyone can comment on the SQ between the Rx and TTVJ Slim (with DAC) and how they compare with the SQ of the P-51?   Many thanks!

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...

I am looking for a headphone amp that is very slim and can be slipped into a pocket along with phone, and can be listened to on the move. When in office, it should double as USB dac so that I can listen to virtually unlimited files/ radio stations.   IEMs - UE tf 10vi, and few other cheaper...

Need some advice from TTVJ Slim amp owners regarding the gain settings. I currently have Fischer Audio DBA-02 and Grado 225i. with sensitivity of 108db and 98 db respectively. Which maximum gain setting (low, medium, high) would be best suited for the phones that I have?

Hi all, searched head-fi for some TTVJ slim reviews and impressions but so far no luck apart from one thread. Not many people tried it yet? Any impressions or comments from owners will be greatly appreciated. Currently have the Ibasso D10 for my portable listening and might consider...
