    I have $4,500 for a full headphone setup

    So I have $4,500 to spend on a pair of headphones, an amp and a dac. I’ve messed around with a bunch of low fi and midfi and want to go all the way this time. I was planning on going with the Autuer Teak from ZMF with a Soekris 1541. I feel that this may be pointless as I would most likely shoot...

    Amp for 325i?

    Hey, i was wondering what type of amp would work for the 325i. Someone's selling it cheap second hand and i was wondering if either my Darkvoice 337 or ZERO would work well with it. Any recommendations? Tried to search but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks in advance.

    Taboo

    The Taboo showed up yesterday. I only spent some very little time late last night listening to the LCD2 in the custom made jacks and sound is more open very extended and classical full range does not clip. The amp will have to be burned in before I can give detailed review and impressions but...

    Zen Mini Torii SE Amp by Decware

    Any users of this amp? I am looking for a tube amp for the K1000 and although I was looking at 300B and 2A3 type amps I found the Mini Torii SE which is based on the 6V6. I have always loved the sound of the 6V6 from my days of using the Fender Champ and various amps by Ampeg with my guitar...

    Advice on choosing a portable amp that uses a 9V

    Can anyone suggest a portable amp or dac/amp that offers easy access to a 9v for power? I am familiar with the iBasso-line. Any others that are well regarded? I would be using a Cowon 7 and U3; and occasionally the iPhone 3GS > SE535s. TIA.

    REVIEW: Decware Select Zen CSP2 Tube Headphone Amp

    I was able to convince Steve Deckert, head Zen of Decware, to send me his Zen CSP2 headphone preamp for review. While the CSP2 is also marketed as a preamp, I did not try it as such. It does have 2 inputs, and trim pots for the preamp outs. The CSP2 is an OTL (Output Transformer-Less) design...
