PSVANE Horizon Vacuum Tube Giveaway and Audition Event
Nice! Didn't know CV181 is the equivalent to 6SN7, there's too many alternatives of the same tubes. 🤣 Thanks for the tip! And I also have a Lyr 3, so in actuality I find Lyr 3 runs 6SN7 and 6J5 tubes a little better than Solstice. BUT when running 12SN7 and 12J5 Solstice can be up there...- Hyde00

From my experience working in film/animation industry and hobbies in mechanical keyboard and headphones. What I realized is that artistic people are terrible at reading. 🤣- Hyde00

PSVANE Horizon Vacuum Tube Giveaway and Audition Event
My amp technically can use any of the following: 12AU7-AT 12AT7-AT 12AX7-AT 12BH7-AT 6SN7-AT But not to be too greedy I can take just 1 x 6SN7-AT. :relaxed: Good luck everyone! EDIT1: In the updated picture in the original post, now I don't see 6SN7-AT as an option anymore, not sure if it's...- Hyde00

Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?
Ah Audeze pads are stick on right? They should've made with a mounting system so you can swap back and forth. :grimacing: Lol nice I've always wanted to try LCD-2 one day, it's legendary like the first HD800. I wouldn't sweat over it, generally speaking the same pads made by different brand...- Hyde00

Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?
LOL who else remember the good old days when Monoprice try to make their own LCD-2 (aka M1060). And the best pad was the Audeze Vegan pad, so Audeze put a restriction on it so that only LCD owners can buy them. I'm not sure who is the biggest target audience these days but nice to see they are...- Hyde00

DAC Roundup: Geshelli Dayzee, Denafrips Ares 12th, Chord Qutest, Topping E70 Velvet
lol I did have it at one point! But I had a very weird observation....... If you're talking about strictly tonal balance, it's super musical! Really happy with it! But I had this weird problem where it sounded very flat, as in no soundstage and no layering. I was asking around in the Mojo 2...- Hyde00

Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread
Yes agree with the "hybrid" aspect, so it will always be half solid state sounding, that being said, the stock JJ tube and stock Tung Sol tube are pretty neutral. So yes getting some NOS tube will help. :relaxed:- Hyde00

Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread
LOLLLLL sorry to laugh at your misery but this is too funny. I don't know, this just reminds me those classic movies where the protagonist must endure a certain "test" to obtain power, but failure will result in death. Something like that. 🤣 Though I currently holds Lyr 3, do I need to...- Hyde00

Introducing the HIFIMAN HE-R9!
lol gotcha, but yeah for Denon/Fostex headphones, usually earpad with bigger holes will result in recessed mids, though better layering. And if the ear pad is thick it will also make vocal recessed. That being said if you're enjoying the headphone then I'd not worry about it lol. Otherwise it...- Hyde00

Introducing the HIFIMAN HE-R9!
Which ear pad did you end up using on your Lawton D5000? I find Lawton mod change sound a lot depending on earpad used. But I agree with you that Lawton put a lot of damping in the wood cup so might explain why R9 seem like it does not have as much damping. Though from what you said it seems...- Hyde00

iFi audio iDSD Signature - The saga continues!
Ah yes the classical business men vs engineers. A problem that existed since beginning of time. Do it cheap vs do it right. :joy: So what it sounds like it's basically going to be a 50/50 chance lottery then. Maybe I'll start with the cheaper, secondhand black label first to see how it...- Hyde00
