As I was saying: who the hell need a headphone setup if it does not sound as good as the speakers setup? So it is the way in which I approach the headphone sound. The headphones intrinsically have problem with MF and “wrong bass”. There are ways to d...

From Larvy Site:Features like a USB input, programmable settings, infrared remote capability, and the proprietary >PiC< Playback Image Control™ make the DA11 more than just a great sounding DA converter. In keeping with the Lavry Engineering tr...

I've sort of "analyzed" your thinking (more like taking what you've said so far and continued with my own ideas) and come to the conclusion the most you could do in "your" (could be more like mine) type of way to try to improve yo...

It is unquestionably an ambiguous project. The topmost question that I would ask myself after this project would be the following: can Milq-biased 6E5P to be as good (sound-wise) DC driver as some vintage direct heated tubes. I did ask thin question ...

After spending more time with my new headphone amplifier I decided to put it aside for time being. I have learned today that there is something g deeply wrong with it. It sounds quite fine before but today I actually has a first time not juts to “lis...

hi RomyConfusing description this headphone alikeliness. I heard couple of strong beaming horns and noticed despite the good resolution (equivalent to dampened room) also a very narrow stage. Especially the center usually being like a meter or two cl...

I can’t say that I like the headphones that people call “good.” I have heard a number of high-class phones, including the one that I was told cost over 5 thousands dollars and I was not impressed what I heard. Some people suggest the while I used tho...

Ok, I ordered this a day before making the thread, and got them yesterday. These are overall the best headphones I've used, having neutrality, details, and natural sound. What's important to note is that when you touch the back or inside, you don't r...

Ok, first off, I'm reading the second sentence of my previous post and soon after I posted it I knew something...it may sort of seem too directly rude and vulgar, but I guess there was this bad "humor" thing with some psychotic seriousness or unbalan...

I've always used to think the headphone market wasn't really that bad, more like a very healthy, "you can't go too wrong" thing. While I've already thought differently before making this thread, you just keep shitting on my face trying to wake me up ...

Hi, SearcherOfBetterSound, welcome…
I like headphones a lot and being a software developer I been using them for years. I do not pursuit for “better” headphones then I have. In my past I did - was baying “better” headphones, was baying and building ...

I listened to these files for two (2!) hours last night. Over and over again. Don't ask why. The choice of music is unfortunate but it is what it is.
There must be some physiological activity going on with the A8 box as I became somewhat accustom...

Once I've assumed my speakers system into this house won't ever be able to deliver what I wish to accomplish, I have kind of downgraded my exigences and I'm more and more listening to headphones. For the last few months I've been trying different hea...

Ok, the Headphone “Baby Melquiades” protect is over. Well, kind of over as there are some issues still are hanging in there.
A brief summary. The initial idea was to use the Melquiades’ input stage to drive headphones. Unfortunately it did not...
