No need for entry- or even mid-level DAP with this one connected to the phone. Pleasantly smooth highs, lively mids and powerful bass. Well extended soundstage. Not the perfect unit, but still quite amazing! ๐๐

An assembled ear cup of a production V2 model, featuring a matte metallic silver finish and brushed CNC machined 7075 Aluminium grills and headband sliders.
A lot of attention is put into the mechanical elements, with use of high quality NYE damping greases, PTFE teflon and stainless steel bearing surfaces, and stainless steel ball and spring plungers. This means that all hinge operation is extremely smooth and the headband size adjustment is very solid with satisfying metallic clicks, and with the headband size always securely kept in the wanted position.

Proudly introducing the new LTS Headphones logo and name, with the refreshed project website domain.
We are changing the logo in order to differentiate the new production headphones, as well as all future models, from their prototype predecessors. LTA headphones as a name will be visible on older DIY project builds, while the LTS name will take this project to a more serious level in the future.

3D printed TPU rubber plugs for the V2 headphone tuning ports.
They allow for quick and easy bass tuning without having to disassemble the headphone. The smaller the port openings are, the more bass the headphone produces, and the effect is entirely linear. This makes it easy to adjust the bass to personal tastes, slightly above or under the neutral point. The rubber plugs click into place securely and are easy to remove.

V2 modular and fully 3D printed headphones with a couple of different Brainwavz ear pads.
Itโs always handy to have access to various ear pads when developing a modular headphone in order to end up with different sound signatures. Round Hybrids are probably my favorite Brainwavz pads for their smooth frequency response and great comfort. Attached to the headphones using custom 3D printed earpad frames.

Bought a christmas present for myself, the xDuoo TA-10R.
Omg, this is perhaps the best hybrid tube DAC/AMP I have ever heard in this price class. Omg! Soooo tubish sound that it's hard to believe that this one is a hybrid design. It works perfectly with planars too (no s*** Sherlock) ๐ I love the digital volume control this unit has, just perfect. It is time to seriously listen some music (hooked this one with my TDA1541A based custom DAC) ๐คค๐ง This is going to be fun! ๐ง๐คค

Burr Brown OPA627AU. Is this a real deal, or are these fakes?
Bought three OPA627AU's for 3โฌ with shipping cost included... Should I try to install these into my Burson Fun? Or will this get ugly? ๐

Burson Fun. Bought this baby few days ago. For my surprise, this unit came with V6 Vivid Opamps already installed in!
๐ฎ I didn't even bought V6's! Thanks Burson ๐
This unit surely has some power (2.1W 32ohm), which is nice. It also fits nicely in a computer case. I really wanted to have an amp with a microphone input for gaming, now I got it, and oh boy, it surely sounds great! ๐๐๐ง๐คค
I can hardly wait to try different opamps on this unit like OPA627, Burson V6 Classic, Sparkos SS3601 etc. ๐

Yamaha HP-1. Made in Japan 1976. This baby is a testament to the true HiFi-sound from the 70's.
Isodynamic (in modern terms planar magnetic) musicality. For these, the famous Italian designer Mario Bellini designed the first suspension strap ever made in the world. Yamaha HP-1 is one of my favourite headphones, and these still sound better than many of their modern counterparts do.

A matched pair of 5654W JAN Philips ECG. Well these surely are wayyyy better than stock tubes on LD Mk II.

ESS ES9280C Pro based audio dongle (CE0130) for mobile phones. Bought this from Aliexpress.
I don't like it. It has too much treble and it lacks bass. Sounds anemic for my taste. Dongle also warms quite much when used. Going to stick with DAP's.

Now these are some good tubes! Soviet made 6N6P tubes from the 80's (Novosibirsk factory (NEVZ)).
A matched pair. These made my LD Mk II sound like an budget angel. Superb soundstaging, well behaving bass and all that tubish liquidness and mood. Now I can hardly wait to get replacement tubes to stock 6J1's. Ordered some good old matched pair of Philips ECG JAN5654W's. Lets see if it gets even better with those ๐ง๐

Little Dot Mk2. Still can't listen to it, because the JJ ECC99 tubes are the sh*****st tubes I have bought in a long time.
40% volume difference between the left and right channel. Unusable. Ordered some good matched pairs of soviet 6N6P's. Have to wait.
