Yeah, the combination of headphones makes it difficult if I want tubes. I might just focus on a good tube hybrid fo now and go from there. The budget is pretty much $500 at this point. I think the focus is to get a solid tube hybrid and add a pure tube later. I've considered the Lyr but it's...

Yeah, I've thought about going the hybrid route, maybe the only way to adequately drive the Mad Dogs and AKG in a one box solution. Maybe the way to go would be a good "tubey" solid state and an affordable OTL to cover all basis. The other option would be a hybrid @PurpleAngel Do you have a...

I'm on the hunt for a pure tube amplifier to pair with my current headphones, HD 6XX, AKG KXX and some old Mad Dog Pro's. From my limited knowledge of impedance, sensitivity and such, it seems like my current headphone inventory might make it a challenge to find one tube amp that works...

This will be in my dedicated 2 channel system. 80% listening through speakers and the rest through headphones. Analog is about 50% of listening, the 50%...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my cheap earbuds to a decent IEM that I can use across a wide variety of music. My tendency is towards neutral sounding but a little bass bump isn't bad. I'll be using them mostly while on the computer or using the Fiio Xi DAP. Music is mostly a mix of classical...

I'm looking to reposition my headphone amp to make it easier to control while listening. Right now my amp is connected to my integrated amp through the tape out which works and sounds great, except the amp is across the room and I don't have easy access to it (no remote) to adjust volume. I'm...
