Hello guys. I'm holding on to a pair of SE535ltds and after hearing so much about aftermarket upgrades, I thought I would give the cables a try.   After some research, I narrowed down to the MK2 (being the most popular).   & then I saw the new MK3s which apparently is made of the same...

Hi all,   My Vsonic Gr07 mk2 (1,5 years old) broke down due to water damage (really dumb story, but I put my headphones in a glass of water by accident, like a total brainfart lol).  I am looking for new in-earphones. I liked the Vsonic Gr07 mk2 but there were also things I did not like about...

Please share impressions if you've had a listen.. The headphone output is protected against dust under the chrome-plated brass cover cap labelled “PHONES” and is switched via the “PHONES ON” button on the left. We believe this switching ability to be absolutely necessary for the sound quality...

Hi. Having a problem with the jack on my RS1's. I can only assume it is a connection problem with the cable as it loses bass until wiggled (no giggling). I am looking for some advice as to how I can rectify this or where to send to have fixed. I am actually contemplating having the cable split...

Id like to get into tube stuff and I'm looking for a cheap (under $350 if possible) tube amp to power a couple speakers and to use as a headphone amp. It would be nice if it was sensetive enough to run IEM's but Il mostly use it with full sized cans.   I looked at a could I really liked the...

Howdy: This is my first post here, and i am looking for some recommendations for a small tube amp.  I work away from home and would like to get a small, decent tube headphone amp that i can take with me. I recently bought  some Grado RS2i's, but find my portable Decware ZH-1, although...

Overall Impression   I just picked one of these up based on the reviews on Amazon as well as a few reviews on here. And while I is a dual purpose integrated hybrid/tube amp and headphone amp, this amp really earns its money as the integrated amp. It does the headphone thing pretty good, but I...

I will soon be moving my Audioengine P4s to my office and I will need something to power them.  Ideally I could get an amplifier with a very good headphone amp to power my DT880/250 phones.  Currently that job is being performed by a Little Dot mkIII.  I don't have a whole lot of desktop real...

REVIEW: Musical Paradise MP-301 MK2 vacuum tube integrated amp   Introduction/Overview   I received a review loaner of the MP-301 Mk 2 from Garry at Musical Paradise in Canada.  I had a good experience previously with the original MP-301, and had reviewed it favorably a couple years...

I think it is worth mentioning that besides the recently announced MDR-10R series, Sony also announced an improved version of their MDR-1R line of headphones, hence the MDR-1RMK2.  I don't know too much Japanese, but here is are some quick points on the MK2's improvements over the original:  ...

Please suggest phones for good mids and balanced sound. I mostly listen to classic rock,indie,hard rock,etc. Have to use them for casual listening. I'm totally new at this and just want the best i can get out of my music. Comfort and portability important. From what i've gathered from reading...

Hi. I need a good amp for around $100-$150. Are there better alternatives than these? If not, which is the best? Oh and the amp can be used if you find a used one for a good deal

Anyone heard this amp before? Specs look alright and it currently goes for 269 euros.                 Edit: French Valhalla vs. Panda MK2...
