Tried that :(   So either the cables are bad or they just can't do it. I put the white cable and red cable in their respective colors (I actually tried both sets of r/w just in case) then the other end went into the IN ports on the back of the Vali 2. Am I missing something here?

My Vali 2 came today. Box and layout was simple but nice. Like how they secured the amp in there. I was worried about breaking something when putting the tube in lol.   Unfortunately I can't get my Creative X-FI Titanium HD to work. I bought the RCA cables, set everything up, but no sound. I...

Aah okay so it would be turned off anyway. I assume that turning the switch off in the back turns off the white LED?   Wasn't sure if blocking the white led would work because a picture I saw here showed the light coming out the top of the holes, which you absolutely would not want to cover up...

Was about to order the Vali 2 but just saw it's light output in a dark room. Do most people leave the device on or do you guys hit the switch in the back? Does that turn off the light?

Didn't even know these were released. I wonder if this will be the less expensive amp sweet spot I was looking for. It's always hard to find something that will work well with most of all of your equipment.   I've been looking for an AMP or DAC/AMP that will do well with   HD700 TH-X00...

  Okay, I'm wearing them right then.

So I have used the Alpha Pads for a little bit. Not sure I'm sold on them yet. They definitely change the sound signature. The low bass is mostly gone with the mid and upper bass taking center stage. The bass is also tighter. The mids seem a bit recessed now with the highs being a bit...

  After you posted this I got to work on them. I was super worried about breaking the plastic!     I am so glad you said this. I was wondering why the sound signature sounded like completely ****. It was hollow and lacking impact. Here on both sides the clips on certain ends didn't clip...

Anyone have that link showing how to put the Alpha Pads on the TH-X00? My Alpha Pads came today :)

Basically I'm wondering if I should get an external amp (Solid State or Tubes) that outputs from my Creative X-FI Titanium HD Sound card or if it would just be a waste of money. Would it make a noticeable difference to the sound of my headphones? I don't play my headphones loud due to worries...

I ordered some Alpha Pads two days ago. They already shipped. First time modding a headphone lol.

So the above guide will enable me to use the X-FI Titanium's CMSS 3d audio processing outputted to an external DAC that will take the all digital signal, process itself, and then send it to an attached amp which sends it to headphones. Anyone here do that? How's the difference in audio quality...

Man, those B&W P7's NEVER go on sale. Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered these through Verizon Wireless. If you are a customer of them and have enough reward points, you can get these for $280 (plus tax)!   Quote:   The Fostex's he mentioned are closed. I have them. According to people they do leak a bit of sound.

Are the new Marantz receivers still capable of Dolby Headphone? Does the Denon x line not have them?
