He's looking for the best tube amp, I doubt an amp under (non-DIY) $1000 qualifies This is nothing but Headfi all over again if you're going to ignore the original poster's request. I could have recommended my SHA-1 (only tube amp I've owned), but it is far from one of the best tube (even better) tube amps available. If you have no plane of reference for the real high end why bother?

Even if what Alex posted was completely made (highly doubtful) up it does not change the fact that they denied him a $1500 refund. Unless they are now going to give him the refund now that their company name has been dragged through the mud

Who damaged the headphones then?

I bet aerius mods them.

My 2c, that is a hell of a nice amp Nate.

This is turning into the recommend the tube amp you own thread I've only heard the really nice tube amps in meets, one of the ones I really liked was a Supra-XLR. edit: this thread might offer some info, I made it when I still had a dynamic headphone: http://www.head-case.org/headphone_amplification/what_are_my_options_for_a_really_sweet_single_ended_headphone_amp-t2063.0.html

Like this?

That's one way to get on the gear modding ban list

Yeah the T40 is one of the first laptops that started doing that. Annoying, especially if you need the extra hardrive space

230 V limited edition gear is rarely cheap... I know, I just have a problem buying a CDP that will be used as a DAC all the time. I'm strange

I want to meet you. I have some Smirnoff Orange and roofies too

Sweet looks great. I especially like the new Blue Hawaii logo.

There is only one Headfi'er that posts about how good the Jena Labs R10 is (that I can think of off the top of my head). He also uses a B52...

I remember the thread warrior05 made about the shitty soldering on his ALO dock. What a fucking scam these tools are running. Great work fixing the botch job Alex.

My next laptop will be a Thinkpad. They're tanks.

Hari hari, I am having meet in Urastanabad, please send demon unit for meet impressings. Will return glady in meet finished. -postjack

Waiting forever for APL to finish their updated DAC

They are great tubes, my friend's monos use them as drivers and his system is sublime.

Probably forever since they're the only ECC99 tube maker Congrats Birgir, enjoy!

Get a Stax setup http://www.head-case.org/headphones/the_headcase_stax_thread-t834.0.html SR-Lambda in my system (this includes the very cheap Dennin' DA-500, not just my North Star) is better than any Sennheiser rig I've ever heard.

What do you want to know about the Beta22? I'm sure you could get most or all of your questions answered here since there are both B22 builders and owners on this forum. Once you decide if you want single ended or balanced the configuration choices aren't overwhelming. edit: though the discussion at Headwize is more technical I based my decision to get one after seeing how it measures and the information already available here.

My prediction is the Habs get knocked out next round.

Hear hear. Scott Walker rules.

Clifford Brown Complete Blue Note box set. Freakin' the man.

The new GnR album is apparently finished. For real this time.
