Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)
I am fairly certain this thread will not be updated. David Mahler did an amazing amount of work to put up the original and made it pretty clear that he was not looking to go the the process again. If you look at his profile he hasn't even been on since May of last year. A new comparison would...- pelli

Be careful, I've definitely gotten some crap tubes off eBay sold as NOS because most people don't have the gear to test them. Contesting a sale is always a pain too- pelli

FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.
It sure would be awesome to get a concrete release date and some impressions before the hype train leaves the station on Q5 mkii haha- pelli

Win a SUSVARA
Why do I want a pair? Because they look like and incredible headphone with great craftsmanship and well above something I can afford as I am expecting a new baby in July (my first). All of my previous audio budget will be pumped into something else beautiful and potentially loud haha. I'm not...- pelli

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
This is outside the point of the discussion but there was a period around 2011-12ish when Senn dropped the hammer and the HD-650 and many other of their products snapped back to full MSRP. For a few years you almost never saw them on sale. Street price was similar to today's prices before the...- pelli

Pictures of your speaker setup!
Aside from the last post, this thread seems mostly dead but I'm all for a revival!!! What speakers, DAC/Amp, transport are you using? Here is a pic of my system as it stands now, it's missing the Schiit Mjulnir which has since moved back into the living room. Music Hall mmf 5.1 >...- pelli

Brothers in Vinyl
If it ain't broke... I came across this table on my local CL for $100 and it was a close call to unseat my mmf 5.1. Admittedly it was waaaaay underpriced with the Black Widow tonearm and V15 cart. New styli are still available from a couple companies as well.- pelli

I have never understood exactly what the topic of this thread is? Keyboards, mice that make noise through headphones, speakers, Vidar, Norse mythology - we got it all. Waiting for some Schiit stuff named after Valkyries - she was one of my favorite Marvel characters. True, this has become...- pelli

It's all subjective so lets remember bot to be too absolute on speakers > headphones. As you can see from my PFP I am big into the speaker game, but the cos/performance ratio for headphones is typically more favorable in my experience. I love the actual feel of the music speakers produce but I...- pelli

Thanks for clarifying! I thought this was the case but didn't want to spread wrong information. I owned a DV 337se for many years (and the pic is still in my signature) I remain a huge fan. Cheers!!!- pelli

La Figaro 339
Not to stir schiit up BUTTTTT... I can see how that got your heckles up! The 339 is FAR from a new design or FOTM, The Darkvoice 337/337se have been around for many years and the 339 is the next evolution there. It is an ass-kicker of a design and stood the test of time. If anything I...- pelli

I know there have been a few suggestions for dealing with this but another (and a good general audio practice to get into) is to turn the volume all the way down before unplugging/plugging. Turning down before switching inputs on any amp is a great habit to get in and turning the volume...- pelli

You can buy a switch, often called a line router. Mapletree makes a very nice one that you would never feel the need to upgrade: https://hollowstate.netfirms.com/otherproducts.htm But I am sure you would do just fine with a mono price or something similar for much less...- pelli

So I have been absent from Head-Fi for a while... Seems like Multibit is the real deal huh? Anyone send in a Gungir for upgrade or do a side-by-side comparison and have thoughts on the difference?- pelli
