    Tube Amp for AKG Q701, and Senn HD 700

    Better performance is definitely untrue. I won't go further than we into this because it's obvious that we won't agree. Thanks, C

    Need speaker recommendation

    Dahlquist M905 is a great speaker.

    Need speaker recommendation

    You can get a lot better SQ for less money if you find older KEF or Dahlquist. Obviously, I am not speaking to the entire Klipsch line but the reference series is very commonly liked and the sound is mediocre. The same can be said about B&W but you are paying more.

    Tube Amp for AKG Q701, and Senn HD 700

    That's a very narrow, pointed view. Tubes last a long time (at least a NOS) and they're not that expensive. I do not use tubes manufacturered today from Russia or China. Tube and SS offer their own pros and cons and tube amps will not be going away in my lifetime.

    HiFiMAN HE-350 only 99,99$

    And the key to what you said is channel(s). When Massdrop does a partnership it's the only channel. Conversely, TTVJ does stuff with Grado and lists at proper pricing. Take the GH2 for example.

    HiFiMAN HE-350 only 99,99$

    So, I feel like Massdrop and their partners are borderline infringing on fraudulent advertisement as the MSRP that is generated is not a real number since all supply goes to one company. The MSRP should in theory be $99 as there are no other supply channels. They did this with the AKG 7XX...

    Tube Amp for AKG Q701, and Senn HD 700

    My best friend designed the Crack. It is the single best investment you can make as it is designed to be effective at one thing, not a one size fits all. It works incredibly well with higher impedance cans. Let me know if you want any more information.

    How to allocate $ for improvements

    Get used headphones like HD600 and find a used DAC/Amp like Oppo HA-2 since the SE revision just came out.

    Audio Power Cables / Cords - Do they really make a difference?

    One of the often unmentioned issues is a dirty power line which results in your outlet being bad. A lot of today's newer components also have internally power filtering which somewhat undercuts the value of the cable m.

    Earphones that are comfortable for wearing in bed?

    My friend seemed to like his AKG Q701 which sounds strange but he felt they were comfortable

    Do you mean in that scenario? The headphones I'm speaking of that are low efficiency tend to have a low SPL and relatively low Impedance as well. Typically, <75.

    Set me straight on headphone amplifiers...

    The one odd thing about headphones versus speakers is that a lot of it is opposite. For example, the higher efficiency headphones that tend to be easier to power run 150+ ohms. The bonus that you get is an extremely wide and accurate soundstage. You get full extension in both the highs and...

    Set me straight on headphone amplifiers...

    Just for an example, I have to run my AKG K1000s ear speakers (headphones) off of two 300b monoblocks that output 2W each, one for each channel. I connect it using a speaker tap adapter cable. The lower efficiency headphones are the hardest to drive (e.g. AKG K1000, HE-6) which typically...
