    ampsandsound Suolo Monos

    "The Suolo Monos came about from a brainstorming session. We were looking to keep the tone of the Kenzie which is warm, musical and detailed with the flexibility of the Mogwai SE and its Tonal weight. Additionally we wanted to showcase our technical prowess, as we consider turret boards to be...

    Budget Tube amp for the HD800S?

    Sup folks Got the Jotunheim with the dac-module, not the best pairing with the HD800S I confess. Looking for budget tube amp with a warmer signature, that could reduce some of the sharp highs I'm hearing. I tried the Schiit Valhalla 2, but it's pretty neutral for a tube amp. Needs to be...

    Turntable and headphone amp suggestions!

    Hi, I've made a few posts already about headphone amplifier suggestions, but I came across this little hybrid amplifier named the NS-08E. So, I was wondering if this amplifier could be paired with the AT LP-120 to get good sound? Also I'm using the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm headphones. Thanks!

    Balanced output - implications of cable on ?

    Hi All, I've got a slightly peculiar setup that I'm working on building (and it's not a headphone setup, it's a speaker setup at home, so please bear with me). It's for my home speakers.

    Little Dot I+ tube and op-amp rolling + recommendations given

    Testing was done on Soundmagic HE400i headphones, carefully EQ'd to be roughly linear. I used an HRT Music Streamer Soundmagic II for this test. Tubes: 6JI tubes (one of which burned out after 56 hours): Stiff, dry and congested in the centre-mids, and ran hot in the upper-mids/lower treble...

    Desperation strikes--ghetto heatsink

    I was fiddling with the gain setting on my Little Dot I+, and it occurred to me that the op-amp was running pretty warm, perhaps warmer than typical for solid states, and that I'd seen people running metal op-amps with heatsinks. I had a plastic-shelled op-amp, which isn't conducive to heat...

    Very-low-voltage op-amp rolling (for Little Dot 1+)

    I'm figuring out optimal op-amps for my Little Dot I+. It supplies two parallel lines of 3.7v--so 3.7v--to the op-amp. There's less info on many choices rated for such a low voltage than for more typical voltage floors. It seems that running a higher-voltage op-amp--the OPA2107AP for...

    Op-amp rolling recommendation requests for Little Dot I+

    Hi all. I've heard the stock opamp in the Little Dot 1+ is a bit unrefined--loose in bass, a tad congested, and generally lacking transparency. Thus, I bought an AD823ANZ. But my question is this: I've heard a lot of good things about the 627/637, 2107, and a few others. It would be great if...

    Looking for a nice tube amp to pair with my new Ether Flows...

    I've been looking at the Pathos Aurium and Woo Audio wa7 as potential buys, but I can't decide which to buy. I would love some input from some experienced listeners. I have listened to the Ether Flows on the Pathos Aurium a few months ago in a department store in Gangnam Korea back before I...

    Most "Tubey sounding HP amp under 500$

    I will be using the tube amp mostly with my Beyers 1990pro. I have looked at the Schiit Lyr 3, Project Ember, and Massdrop CTH. If there are others that might fit the textbook sound of tubeyness please let me know. I realize different tubes have different sonic properties. I guess my question is...

    New to tubes is this one busted?

    I received my DarkVoice 336SE today, and it sounds like there is broken glass inside the bottom of the tube, is it busted? Might need to turn volume up to hear it.

    APPJ mini2013 6J1+6P1 Tube Amplifier

    Hi all, saw this on sale on Massdrop and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I have never owned a tube amp but thought about giving this thing a shot. It's currently going for a hundred bucks. Anyone have any input/opinions to share with this audio noob?

    Would the Monoprice USB/DAC be able to power the HE-400i.

    Question is the title. Would it be able to power them or should I get something like the TA-01 and a golden lion tube?

    Little Dot 1+ Buzzing Problem

    Hello fellow Head-fiers! I recently got a used little dot 1+ ver. 3.0 from ebay. Voshkods tubes were included (of course i use em). Everything is fine and im very happy with its sound, but there is one problem now... there is a very audible buzzing in the background. It is extremely audible...

    Cavalli Tube Hybrid + SDAC, noise/static issues

    Hey! First post here. Just picked up a CTH+SDAC off Massdrop for use at the office. Noticing a significant amount of faint noise or static. If I hold my hand over the tube it is almost entirely gone. Is this something people just deal with? Are there any recommendations for what to do in this...

    Do M1060s sound decent on a tube amp (Little Dot MkII) compared to solid state?

    I'm looking into getting M1060s as my first true hifi experience and I was wondering if they would be significantly hindered by using on a tube amp (Little Dot MkII) and if so, how exactly the sound would change. I've heard planars don't work best on tube, but I found a good combo deal and would...

    Little Dot 1+ vs MK2 or other tubes

    Hi everyone! I'm a new and budding audio enthusiast who wants to get into the realm of tubes. I had the chance to audition a cheap (non-audiophile) turntable on my HD558s, and ended up really liking the mellower and non-fatiguing and interesting distorted sound (although I somewhat wish there...
