Need help in AMP pairing - looking for a fitting amp to pair with Mr. Speakers AlphaDogs (AD) I´m kind of happy with my Matrix-M-Stage, but after all this years and some complex musical situations, where i think he could/should do better with the AD, i'm searching for a new Desktop Amp to...

So I'm interested in hearing from other folks re) that set of headphones that occupies a special place in your equipment inventory. You know...the cans that you just can't bring yourself to sell (or for that matter pitch!!) because it would be like putting your dog to sleep. For me, it's the...

This is my second review / comparison of Headphones on this forum. I first must admit I love music. Listening to quality Headphones makes a huge difference no matter the brand. For this go around I am going to compare the Beyerdynamic DT880s (250Ω) and the Beyerdynamic T1s (600Ω).   I must...

I'm thinking about buying a violectric for my hd 650 but what is exactly the difference between the 2? and is it worth the 200 euro ($275) difference?

Hi there, Soon I will be buying my first headphones in the audiophile market. First I will be buying the sennheiser hd600 headphone, with the aim to afford the hifiman he-560 in the future. I've been told that the schiit audio lyr amp and bifrost uber DAC are a great combination for planar...

This is my first posted review for any headphones. I would like to start out and state that I listen to headphones at work almost every day. My company moved to a cube environment and this required me to find another way to block ambient noise from other co-workers and be able to listen to...

Recently have a chance to compared the V100 and V200 in a dealer showroom. While I found the V200 definitely has more details, resolution, etc., I thought the V100 to have a fuller tone and more suited to vocals. Suffice to say the V200 does not appear to have a decidedly advantage over the V100...

Scootermafia keeps nagging me to buy a new amp, so which one of the superhype LCD-2 amps is it going to be?   Thanks in advance pals.

Hey guys, I'm new here. It's good that I can find this forum. Let's go straight to the topic. I have an AKG K701 and I have a MDAC. The MDAC does have DAC and Amp, but the amp kinda sucks. So I want to buy a decent amp for my k701. The thing is, I mostly listen to anime songs(japanese girls...

Hi, buddies ! I need an AMP for both DT880 (250 ohms) and AKG K702 (62 ohms), source is SONY D50. I read that DT880 needs more voltage whereas K702 needs more current. Is it very hard to get just a single amp to feed both of them (to reach a good level of performace of these two headphones)...

Hello,   Is there anyone who has listened to these both? I'm looking to buy the HD800 with a Meridian g08 and use them for classical music 60%, jazz 30%. I can't afford a good tube amp inside the EU, so I am considering one of these two. I can buy the Burson new for 590 $ or the...

the manual says, "This unit is provided with an internally settable mains supply for 115 / 230 V AC".   http://www.audiophysics.hk/downloads/pdf/15/V100-E%20Manual.pdf   Will this be hard to do? Could it just be an internal switch I have to move? Will I have to take it to a professional...

Hi,   I purchased a set last week with a HeadRoom Micro Amp.  I have a very good DAC in my audio interface (RME Baby Face) which is hooked to my iMac via USB 2.0.  I am considering returning my Micro Amp and replacing it with a "better" amp. By better I am seeking a transparent, neutral...

I was considering upgrading my HD650's for some HD700's LCD-2's or quite possible HD800's. But decided it's not time yet. However I am now considering upgrading my Amplifier/DAC. I currently have the Headroom Desktop Amp/DAC. Any suggestions to a good/better AMP/DAC or Amp and DAC?    Don't...

Hi all,    I have been reading through hundred and hundred of threads here and I am having a very hard time figuring out what options are best for me. I have HD800s and listen to music through my Mac. It's probably 50% large orchestral, and 50% a mix of pop/rock and jazz.  I'd prefer to have a...

http://www.whathifi.com/review/fidelity-audio-hpa-100   Has anyone heard this amp?   If so, how does it compare in sonic signature to tried and true favourites such as the Lehmann Black Cube, the Graham Slee Solo...etc...   The review seemed to suggest that the HPA-100 is slightly on...

Last week I purchased The Violectric HPA V100 on ebay, the amp cost me $520 shipped. In the ebay description and in the photos the amp looks kosher. The seller said in his add that the amp is new, never used, no papers and box. As well the photos in the ad showed the unit with a serial...

EDIT: stupid mistake in the title. "trade off", not "better".... DISCLAIMER: I'm not English mother tongue and I haven't written such long stuff since long time ago. Just... Don't take my writing style for "prophetic" or "guru-ish" (sometimes I've been told so). My will is just to put on the...

I was wondering why this apparently superb ampli doesn't seem to raise enough interst in HeadFi. Violectric by Lake People Very few info about it, but in Germany it's considered probably n.1 amp at the moment. It also provides a built in DAC as well (48 kHz / 16 Bit), and the price for this...

I'm looking for a new headphone amp, so I took the liberty of PM:ing our fellow inmate Fried Reim who is the CEO of lake people and ask him if the much rumored Violectric v282 is coming out anytime soon. This is the reply I got:   Quote:   So it seems they have no less than 3 new amps...

What is you opinion regarding which of these two amplifieres is better? Have you heard the V100? What's is the sound characteristics? Thanks.
