I am one the snobbiest audio people and I love the point he made about bluetooth and the cord. You will never see me ever using one of those crappy headsets. I will always use a wire and enjoy really hi fidelity thank you very much.   Throwing good money after bad is never a good idea. I...

I chained a Valhalla2 straight tube amp into a solid state Asgard. I listen thru the asgard solid state. I have a bifrost multiunit connect to the Valhalla2. Any downsides to chaining a pure tube amp to a pure solid state. I wanted to get get a good mix of solid and tube and I all ready...

I a surprised no one ever mentions this. But chaining a Magni2 uber to a valhalla2 has been way amazing. I use the Magni 2 uber as a pre amp. for the valhalla2 You can get the best solid state and tube combo that way. I have a modi2 uber for a dac with spdif toslink and the whole setup...

I have several headphones TH600 HiFiMan HE400S Beats Studio Pro AKG72XX  I have heard lots of headphones even the super high end Stax setups. I still have yet to hear any headphones that are open Dynamic or Planar that offer low end bass clarity reverberation and resonance that the TH600 and...

So I went back and forth tonight between my 400S my TH600 and my Beats Studio Pro and the lack of sub bass is considerable on the 400S. The roll off it bad. The sound stage is superior to my TH600 My AKG K7XX is close but again lacking visceral bass punch I love in the TH600. I love the...

Agreed there are times I can not tell difference between headphones back to back on the same song. A lot of times it seems equipment makes the difference. To me a lot of the headphones I own tend to take on the sound of the equipment I use. My ears are not trained to the level to distinguish...

This is my first planar set. However I am thinking it would be hard to over power them. I have had better results with the high gain mode for sure. I think the 400S does sound lovely with the right amplification. I am less than impressed using it with an iPhone no amplification and Spotify...

I don't like putting more than one sentence on a line is why. Everyone says that. That being said its just the way the wording is structured honestly. Yes it looks poem like when you structure your writing this way. You are kind to a N00B have an excellent Sunday.

Hi All, Sorry for the confusion. My Magni 2 Uber is running in the high mode. The volume is adjusted accordingly on the vali and the magni 2 As far a the bass goes. I am sure everything is getting a better punch from the solid state. The most noticeable thing to was the bass improvement...

I like the HE400S I didn't at first I thought the bass was rolled off and the sound was generally thin. What I discovered is they need amping like crazy. yeah I can listen it with my iPhone but the sound is thin and crappy to me. I literally had to add a solid state pre amp into a tube amp...

Hi all I now have my source an iMac connected with SPDIF TOSLink to the D.A.C Modi 2 Uber. The Modi 2 Uber connects to the Magni 2 Uber with RCA. The Magni 2 Uber connects with RCA to the Vali. I am running the Magni 2 Uber in high impedance mode. I am running my HiFiman HE400S to the Vali...

I have a pair of TH600 Foster and I really didn't think I would find anything I liked better. I have a pair of  HiFiman 400S planar that are a disappointment to me personally. I have that Vali Amp with a Modi 2 Uber. Damn the sound to me is amazing with live instruments. Lenny Kravitz Mamma...

I bought a magnet uber to pre amp to plug into my modi2 uber and plug into my vali as a warm pre amp. We will see how it does. I am sure in theory it will work fine that way.

I love it it adds depth to my TH600 in the weak bassline my Vali has. Dub Step Kings with that plugin. Can't figure out how it works but the music just has more dynamic punch to me. Some how thru live EQ modulation. It for sure works and the sound to me with and without is dramatic. Other...
