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...

Hi,   I am really a new one in this forum. It is my first post here .    I am finding an amp for my HD650. I know that normally most people will chose an amp for HD650 not more than $600. (just for normal case). Firstly I have the same opinion. But after I tried T1 once, I thought I will buy...

 I asked in the HE-500 thread and got some some good responses, but not everyone who owns, or has owned, a HE-500 still reads that thread. I figured I'd ask here. I'll lay down some criteria and make it easy!   1. I've owned a Lyr. Liked it, not interested in another one. But what about that...

Hello,   Currently I use an E-MU 0404 USB DAC with a Violectric V200 setup in combination with my HD800 headphone.   My current E-MU 0404 USB has only 1 balanced stereo output and I want to purchase another DAC (with multiple outputs) so I can power both my monitors and my Headphone without...

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, this is my first post.   i have read countless posts comments, review and videos on what headphones to buy. and so far they have a got me confused some say buy them some say dont. so i thought i would post my own to make sure the head phones are good in the areas i like.   first i...

Hello all! My current set is   Output UA Apollo -> DAC V800 -> HPA V200 -> HD800   Now, I heard a lot of great remarks about the Phonitor, and how it is an amazing crossfeed / room space emulation.  I dig this and wanted to incorporate it into my setup to help prevent ear fatigue when...

Hello Guys,   I am in need of some guidance from all of you experts. I recently indulged in an impulse purchase of the HD 700's on for $649 over Christmas. I currently have a set of Beats by Dre Studio editions that ive had for years now. I was unaware of the requirement of high end headphones...

Hello everyone, I'm planning on getting a pair of LCD-2 rev.2 with a balanced cable with a 4 pin XLR plug. Now I am slightly confused about what a balanced setup looks like. For a DAC I would have the Asus Xonar Essence STX's DAC. I don't have enough money for a proper dedicated DAC at the...

Hello Head-Fi!   These two amp have gotten my attention and are currently on my wishlist. However, I can only buy ONE. I know the V200 is pricier than the Corda Classic but assuming that is not an issue, which one would suit more headphones?   Headphones I want to pair with the amps:  ...

I purchased a Schiit Magni a few months ago for use in my office set-up. I am using it to exclusively drive a pair of Mad Dogs (and in the future, I will probably alternate between Mad Dogs and Alpha Dogs). My source is a DX50 and DAC is a Peachtree DacIt, both of which I am happy with for both...

I have narrowed my choices to the following and would like you guys feedback and input to further narrow down my choices.   - Yulong A18 - Vioelectric V200 - Burson Soloist SL   I currently have a pair of Audeze LCD-2's, JDS Labs ODAC, and Schiit Lyr. I love my Lyr but I really would...

Hi all,   I noticed that there wasn't a appreciation thread for the V200, or any Violectric amp for that natter, so I decided to start one up. There were quite a few review threads but not one main appreciation thread. Hope you guys don't mind, I don't    I have been listening to this...

Hi guys,   I'm looking for a nice headphone amp under 1k$ I have identified the Soloist SL, the Violectric 200, and the recent TEAC HA-501 for which i don't find yet many reviews   That's why I'm looking for Headfiers feedback about this amp, which presents (on the paper) nice...

Could anybody help me to find the best amp for HD800 for me? I am looking for a neutralish to warmer-sounding amplifier with quality soundstage and detail... Not inauthentic sounding but reference enough for testing difference headphones as well.   A bit worried about soundstaging and imaging...

Which one to choose and why?   Source is Pioneer PD9700 and headphones are T70 & HD650. I feel really amazed. Graham has such a nice detailing and soundstage, but V200 is so relaxing..   In the future I'd like to upgrade my phones to T5p and some Grado (500 or 325)   Price is nearly...

I know the obvious choice is a V800,but my wallet does not like the $1300 price tag,especially considering it will be more by the time it gets to Canada.I would certainly consider a used V800,but they are nowhere to be found,but i have put a "wanted" post in the for sale section for the V800.In...

My current setup is as follows:    iPod 160G > Arcam drDock (internal DAC used) > Pro-Ject Head Box S > Senn HD595   I am looking for a warmer, smoother sound as there is a brightness now in my current setup that is sometimes uncomfortable for me. I would probably really like tubes, but...

I'm in a situation currently where I can potentially get myself a pair of HD800s. I had a listening test with a pair of them and some HD700s yesterday, and I absolutely love the sound of them.   I also would be in a position to get a Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp, and from what...

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...

    Just a really quick review of this fantastic amplifier,   This unit has been on my mind ever since I was fortunate enough to audition at a local retailer who happens to be the main distributor.   'Violectric' is a brand name that Lake People give themselves for the audiophile...

woo! my rig is finally half way there   the only one left: a standalone DAC   with hundreds brand available on the market, it's really hard to pick one   I've already narrow down to the following    1. Lead Audio LA-100   2. EE MiniMax   3. StageDAC   Could anyone...

At present, the V200 can drive the Hifiman HE-6 (which apparently requires a minimum of 2W per channel into 50ohm). I like that the sound signature is darker than neutral and has powerful bass. I also like the price a hell of a lot more than the DarkStar.   And if the V200 can drive the HE-6...

Review: Violectric V200 the Smooth Operator   German made products always spike my interest. When I think of products manufactured in Germany usually what comes to mind are precise products that are well designed and usually built well. The Violectric V200 is one such product. Developed...
