    Uhm, just as an update, I tried contacting Yuking directly a week ago and never heard anything back

    Looking for the right sounding tube amp for 750-1000 for HD600s

    I wanted to ask for a short list of amps that people think I should consider and read more about, or try to listen to, as my next amp purchase. I'll be using HD600s with the hope of eventually switching over to an 800 s ref at some point. I was about to buy a La Figaro 339 as I read nothing...

    La Figaro 339

    I've heard about great support from yuking throughout this thread, over the years, but it seems like if you buy directly from him you pay 750 (plus substantial shipping) just for the non upgraded la figaro... as opposed to 650 at Shenzhen with free shipping, or 550 in the massdrop that just...

    La Figaro 339

    I canceled my order for a La Figaro, through Shenzen Audio. After waiting since early September, I was told that my amp wouldn't be available to ship when they said it would. Which I wasn't told until the awaited day finally came. It was through my proactively e-mailing them to confirm that...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    So wait, these are supposed to be like an HD650 with even more bass? I'm an HD600 fan over the 650s, although my number one complaint would probably be that i might want a smidge more bass on them. Yet I have never liked the 650s. So, these don't really appeal to me from what I've read so...

    Any others here who use a Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC?

    I only hear and experience the best of things about it where there have been reviews or other people to talk to about it.. but not a lot of people, really. Just curious to see how many people around here even know what it is? http://www.jolida.com/product/glass-fx-tube-dac-iii I had to...

    La Figaro 339

    It's pretty easy to find them on ebay, isnt it? I remember checking for all of these things on ebay and while I wouldn't say there was an overabundance by any stretch of the imagination, there were definitely enough for us to take care of ourselves without being hung out to dry for pricing over...

    La Figaro 339

    After reading this whole thread, there are really only two combinations of tubes that I would like to try: GEC/Tung Sol 5998 /// RCA 5693 "Red Hot" or RCA 6AS7G (Black Plate) /// EF800 Telefunken GE 6AS7G (Copper Rods) /// EF800 Telefunken JAN GE 6AS7G (Copper Rods) /// EF800 Telefunken It...

    La Figaro 339

    Thanks for the heads up! That's a pretty nice buy! I'm tempted, but I've already waited a whole month for the upgraded version and feel inclined to just let it ship in a week or so. I'm just glad that more people are picking up this amp. I hope you'll all join me back here to share...

    CanJam @ RMAF 2017 (October 6-8, 2017) Impressions!

    Just got back from my short, one day visit to RMAF/CanJam. I at least tried the flagships for everything there, and honestly felt like the hd800 S ref w/ the new sennheiser 820 amp were in a class of their own for me. Which is super surprising, because I just would never have expected for...

    CanJam RMAF 2017 (October 6-8, 2017)

    Is there an impressions thread somewhere? I'll be attending tomorrow morning/afternoon. Looking forward to being blown away left and right.

    La Figaro 339

    Mine should ship in about 10 days, I'm wondering what are the latest improvements, too. I'm so excited to receive this amp :o

    La Figaro 339

    But this would kind of be my only chance to upgrade the LF339 itself because I'm not going to be sending it back for small mods etc :p

    It's Done! Power Cord Shoot-Out-- 22 Power Cords Reviewed!

    Question.. so these cables from C2G are supposed to be equivalent to the jellyfish (According to the post above me and what I've heard elsewhere) .. but if you compare:   http://www.cablestogo.com/product/48007   to   http://www.cablestogo.com/product/48008   They appear to be the exact...

    VA / MD / DC meet - Saturday, January 18, 2014

    Just moved out to the area for a new job, which affords me my anticipated re-entry to a home rig.  Pop onto head-fi and see that there's a meet 20 minutes from me in less than 12 hours.  Doesn't get much luckier than that :D!  Pretty sure I'll make it out there tomorrow.  Right now I'm looking...

    Best IEMs for the budget?

    I'm willing to buy used.  I just need to pick up a pair of IEMs (the deeper/snugger they get into my ears, the better - I am someone who honestly can't get normal ear 'buds' to stay in my ears.  I am not kidding.) for being able to listen to music while at work.  But I've been away from the hifi...

    What are the cheapest DAC/AMP combo products?

    Been away for a while and wondering what some of my options are for a $100~ dac/amp combo for use with my PC.  Interested in hearing of both 'DIY' and 'non'.  TY :)

    Head-Fi/Can Jam @ Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2009 (CJ@RMAF 2009): It's Official!

    Holy crap this is tomorrow - snuck up on me. Dudes, I wasn't officially in, but I'm out. I'm a double s deep in work. But I demand that some Infected Mushroom be listened to off of some nice stereo rigs in my honor.

    Colorado High-Fi Meet 7/25/09 Impressions

    Firstly, Thanks to Asr for making the meet happen. Second thanks to Larry, for having so much gear and expertise as to draw more people to our meets. I noticed that my listening abilities hardly existed anymore. Discouraging, but to be expected when having been completely withdrawn from...

    Is it better to have a large music collection or a smaller, focused one?

    Medium-to-large but still focused, imo. We should be too varied to limit ourselves to something smaller than not, imo. New music is a new way of thinking, feeling - a new us. It's expansive.

    Minimalist Metal

    I'm not sure Meshuggah can even be called repetitive because of the constant variation in each pass through of what looks/sounds to be the same continued structure but I cite this as an example of how things can count as minimal and be complex, as opposed to a claim that meshuggah isn't...
