| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 Although I had enjoyed Raal Sr1a driven by Jot R for the last three months for open and exciting sound, sometimes it got close to hot.I got Freya+ to tame the sound of Sr1a.I skipped stock JJ tubes and inserted Nos Amperex 6sn7 gtb in gain stage... | |
| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's? I had put Schitt Freya+ fitted with Nos tube in front of Jot R and it tamed the hot sound of Sr1a.Rogue Crouns Magnum II fitted with Nos Telefuken 12Ax7 and Amperex 12 Au7 make Sr1a sound sweet but it clipped occasionally at climax of orchestral m... | |
| Best headphone under 10k$ I received Freya+ this morningI skipped JJ stock tubes and inserted Nos Amperex 6sn7gtb in gain stage and Sylvania 6sn7gtb in buffer stage.After running demagnetization tracks twice( 6min each) on Freya and Jot R, I started listening to Capric... | |
| Best headphone under 10k$ I had lived with Sr1a driven by Jot R for 3 months with Dave and HMS as source.It sounds open and exciting but close to hot from time to time.Thus I had pulled the trigger for Schitt Freya to be in front of Jot R.I also placed an order of Nos qu... | |

| Nice subwoofer can make your speaker sing! @millercarbonIt is true that my listening space is kind of unique in shape but with extensive sound baffle, it works.Thanks a lot for your congratulation.Thomas | |
| Best headphone under 10k$ @213runninAfter further listening between Sr1a and Stax 009s driven by Kgsshv Carbon amp, I found 009s give more natural and sweet tone of violin.But in general, I prefer Sr1a to 009s with more open and dynamic sound.@ arelare7 I had not listened ... | |
| Can 200$ IC cable bump 2k$ Audio Note cable? I am using Teresonic Clarion cable in combination with two Audio Note speaker cables. | |
| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's? Just go for Jot R without interface.It will be enough. | |

| Why I am awake at 3PM. Pacific time? Thanks a lot my buddies here for kind word.He got born healthy 4 AM this morning .I got some of photos. |
