There is another users impressions on apex vs adel here if you have not seen it before. http://theheadphonelist.com/what-shadow-lies-beneath-the-bright-gleam-a-review-of-the-64audio-u12/2/ http://theheadphonelist.com/what-was-new-is-new-again-a-review-of-the-64audio-apex-modules/

it is gone! they got rid of it since it apparently was messing up the headphone jack when it malfunctioned.

yeah that seems like that might be the only available option now ;/

Issue: The Schiit Bifrost is not coming up in the sound output selection in OSX. What seems to work: -When restarted in Windows via boot camp, the Schiit Bifrost both comes up in the sound output and works. -In OSX, when I look at my -ioreg -p IOUSB or system_profiler SPUSBDataType, the...

Hey all, I was wondering what the use of socket savers are for... I thought they made replacing tubes easier, but the connection between the tube and socket saver is tighter than the socket saver to the lyr. Maybe I just made up the use of socket savers  completely in my head... anyone have...

Quote: Get new tubes! they make a world of difference (at least switching out from the stock ones)

Quote: Would you say that the HE-500 sounds better than the HE-6 on the Lyr?

Quote:   For reference, I'll sum my very limited experience with LCD's I was able to listen to the LCD2/LCD3/HD800 for about five minutes each, about 5 months ago on some amp, that I think was somewhat fancy but wasn't able to get the name of at the time. From that time, I found that...

Quote: I would agree with the d7k's, or LCD2/3. I think the HE-6's and HD800 are too similar. I feel like the HE-6 is a tad warmer/smoother, and the hd800 a tad less bassy/better mids

Quote: I do. what's your question?   I also have HE-6's and am using mullard cv2492's

I would suggest the T1 between the HD700, 800, LCD2r2, and D7000. The D7000 is the most similar to the LCD-2. It is bassy and separation isn't so great.   The t1 soundstage isn't as expansive as the hd800 but the separation and clarity are very close while being a tad bit warmer. It's...

Hey all, Looking for e88cc/e188cc/pcc88 tubes for the Schiit Lyr Especially amperex/lorenz/telefunken/siemens. Let me know what you have and how much Thanks!

Hey all, I glanced through the thread with the search function- but couldn't find a current answer. What tubes do you guys think will pair best with a T1? Both best for the money- and best in general would be very appreciated. I'm using a lyr/bifrost setup.   Thanks in advance!

Quote: I haven't heard the denon d2k, but perhaps find one of those if you can. I think the reactions towards those are much less bipolar than the pro900's. and also, the cost of the kees mod is about 5$... if thats what you mean by fully modded

Quote: The kee's mod kind of helps midrange, but I feel like it does that by toning down the bass, and make the treble a little less sharp. J$ pads are well worth the money, if you are already going the pro900 route. they make a much larger difference than the kee's mod in my opinon. I...
