Damn I'm pretty new to tubes but this seems like an incredible opportunity for anyone interested in experiencing different flavors. GLWS

thanks, I found a TA-20 for cheap and it's supposed to be a noticeable upgrade to the MT-604, I'll see if it holds up!

Yeah I was actually able to try out the vali and although impressions were limited on the noisy show floor, I felt that it was a bit harsh or shouty for me compared to other options like the ta-22 or lyr+. Also, in the used market a TA-20 isn't that much more than even a vali as this point. It's...

I've recently tried out some tube amps at Canjam to see what people mean by "good distortion" and now I'm sold, my "clean" sounding magni heretic now sounds incredibly dry. I've tried to find info on the title options but I can't find any reviews that directly compares these options. I'm...

Do you know of one? I can't seem to find a global EQ app on my ipad.

Besides the built-in EQ presets, does anyone know if anyone's found a way to parametrically EQ Apple Music? I'm seriously considering migrating to Tidal even though the migration process is going to be a massive pain.

I also wonder if sennheiser allows prospective buyers to audition the he1, blind buying a 60k headphone is hard proposition to make, even if there are people out there with deep pockets

I got a confirmation by email

How fast do they fill up/how many slots are there? I won't be able to reach a computer for a few hours after 5 pm due to work :(

The whole community will have passed this around by 2025 😂

I've seen a lot of discussion on how pad swapping changes the tuning for various open back headphones. To me this makes sense as open back headphone pads are typically porous to some degree, and I imagine the delivered sound is modified by passing through these porous pads. However, I haven't...

Ty, I've dabbled in a handful of sources but I'm pretty budget focused so I keep my collection slim, right now I've settled on an iPad + Apple music with a 3.5 + 4.4 mm moondrop dawn pro. Would that be sufficient source wise or is there a sizable section of headphones that are e.g. XLR only? I'm...

Just purchased tickets, but never been to a canjam before. What are things that people normally bring? Do you test out vendors' headphones/IEMs with your own source gear, and do you test out vendors' source gear with your own headphones/IEMs? Anything else to prepare?

fair enough

CP155, ended up returning them

Honestly blessing 3, I would say midrange shines with it. Used goes for just a touch above $200, which will probably drop when B3D comes out.

I'm not sure why spinfits are so popular, even with the largest tips that my ears could handle for the best seal, half the bass was deleted for me. The comfort is fine but for my B2D I ended up sticking with the default tips. Xelastecs have better seal and slightly better sound but they're so...

I ended up passing mine along which I'm probably crazy for, but for all its clarity I just was too used to a warmer sound. I do like bass, and although the MKIII had a lot of it, it was one of those things for me that was perfect and correct but just not what I found fun.

I mean but how do the May's sound without DSP? I know they're somewhat budget but if you're at that price range you can think about a dedicated dongle dac to go with it.

Anyone have any measurements on the tempotec DAPs?

I'm just waiting for that 32" 4k OLED 240 hz panel coming out next year, I probably won't be able to afford it until it goes on sale a year later but that's the one main thing I'm focused on - I'm pretty satisfied with my keyboard and audio setup now, and although my IPS panel is great OLED is...
