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...

I have both, t5p's are in for repairs currently but here are my impressions:   t5p's: better soundstage, deeper/wider slightly bass shy for some music, not as fun sometimes. excellent for classical in my opinion, overall higher SQ (if coloration is not a factor considered) more...

t5p's excel in classical music, and are not foldable.   the sig pros are foldable, and have better isolation by a little bit than the t5p's.   I think the sig pros are slightly on the bassier side, and t5ps are on the bass shy side   a note is, if you have bigger ears/ones that stick...

Quote: Oops, sorry for not specifying. This was for the pro 900, and not the HE400. pretty sure they don't exist for HE400. You can get them from the forums sometime... but the person making them doesn't make them anymore.

Quote: I forgot to add, get J$ pads if possible- it makes the headphones a LOT better in my opinion. Everything sounds deeper and richer, and less anemic as it does with the velour pads. I didn't realize this until I tried switching back from j$ pads to velour pads and instantly felt that...

Quote: looking forward to it!

Sorry, a slight sidetrack but do most people prefer the t1 with tube amps?

Ultrasone pro900's are really really good, if edm is all you listen to. The mids are pretty recessed for anything else though.

Quote: Just curious, what do you listen to?

Quote: I wouldn't want to wear them all the time with glasses. I wouldn't say it puts me in pain, its just annoying. Compared to the pro900 they are a little better I feel.

Has anyone been able to compare either the d600 or d7100 to sig pros? Thanks in advance
