| Welcome to Headphones @soix I think the sorting order might be driven by recent activity. I've seen it go up and down a few times. | |
| headphones to use with a Chord Mojo I haven't tried them with Mojo specifically, but really liked the Focal Elegia when I had them for 15 days or so. There was nothing wrong with them per se, but my preference leans towards open back so decided to replace them with Focal Clear. Give... | |
| Welcome to Headphones Boy, this discussion group is seeing some action lately! (Not!) | |
| Wireless cans, over the ear If you can wait a couple of months, Massdrop (now just Drop.com) is coming out with bluetooth wireless headphones -- Drop+THX Panda Wireless Headphones. Usually, Drop gives you much better bang for your buck. I might be pre-ordering mine soon @ $3... | |
| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 @oddiofyl Appreciate the detailed response. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger. Quicksilver has priced them very reasonably. | |
| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 @oddiofyl Do you need a separate preamp for the Quicksilver? I'm seriously considering it. What DAC are you using with it? | |
| Beginning of a new journey... @soix TBH, I wasn't even aware of the Lyr up until now. Will definitely look into it. Right now, I'm seriously considering either the Quicksilver headphone amp or the Feliks Audio Espressivo Mark II. But will definitely check out the Lyr's reviews... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... I've put about maybe 20 hours on the Anandas so far. I know it's too early to form an opinion but so far they're quite good. The two things that I wish could be improved upon are better, deeper bass and maybe slightly smoother treble. I'm finding ... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... So the Ananda's were delivered yesterday. I have spent only a few hours with them, but so far I'm very impressed. They are much more resolving and revealing than the HD6XX. The soundstage is not only wider, but the depth and height is quite fabulo... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... @chrisr Please do let us know your impressions of the Schiit Vali 2. I'll be getting the Anandas tomorrow. Once I figure out which headphones I'm keeping (HD66x or Ananda), the next step will be a suitable dac/amp. | |
| Beginning of a new journey... @big_greg: Couldn't agree with you more. I've been listening to the HD6XXs for the last two days, and I'm blown away by the performance. In comparison, the Bose Soundlink retails for $230, and IMO there simply is no comparison. The Senns punch way... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... Great suggestions. The Auralic Taurus sounds very promising. I see a used one on this site for a little over my range, but might be worth a try. I checked the drop website for amps/dacs but it seems that anything that catches my interest is sold o... | |
| Naim Unitiqute -- repair or cut my losses? @tomic601 Thank you for the tip. I will call Audio Plus tomorrow and see what the damage looks like. | |
| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum I had been traveling quite a bit in February so didn't get a chance to try out different tubes. Finally got around to ordering new tubes from Brent Jesse as per @avanti1960 's suggestions. Was advised to get the Amperex (1960) for the center/pream... | |
| Recent upgrade to Cronus Magnum Alright folks, time for a quick update ...I checked the impedance and it is indeed set to 8 ohms. Check.I tried to lightly flick all the tubes and to my surprise, one of the front row tubes was wobbling too much. I took it out and inserted it back... |
