Lavricables - Impressions & Discussion Thread
How is the quality of the connector from Lavricable for the Neumann NDH 30 headphones? It looks like it is an all plastic construction. -

Neumann NDH 30
Here is a pic of the adapter from Moon Audio. The shaft is too short. I am out roughly $22 total including shipping. Not a big deal. I think it would be perfect due to metal screw on body. The connector is only $10. The remaining pictures are of my amp, EQ and DAC.- activestatic

Neumann NDH 30
Which companies sell the 2.5mm locking balanced connectors for the NDH series headphones. So far all the ones I see are cheap plastic body connectors. Hart Audio, Lavricables and Fog City Audio all use plastic bodied connectors for their custom cable builds. Moon Audio has one with a metal...- activestatic

Lake People G108 impressions?
Can the op amps be swapped out or are they soldered in place? I also saw pics of the circuit board elsewhere and I noticed there were dip switches. Is that considered to be user serviceable and is it encouraged to experiment with those settings?- activestatic

Geshelli J2S DAC and Sparkos SS2590 - YES!
Actually, I asked and they installed the SS2590 for me on the RCA output. They even let me get the Archel Pro case for a $5 upgrade once I told them I wanted to go all SS2590. The J2S is their latest version of the J2 series. I don’t think they took the SS2590 into consideration when they...- activestatic

Geshelli J2S DAC and Sparkos SS2590 - YES!
I now have the SS2590 on all three op amp sockets. I actually get louder output from the RCA connection than I do on the XLR out put. My headphone amp is the Rupert Neve RNHP. I literally toggle between A for XLR and B for RCA inputs and the RCA is definitely louder. Would this issue be with...- activestatic

Rupert Neve Designs Announces The RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier
I actually get lower output from the balanced connection. I have the baclanced and RCA connections running from the Geshelli J2 socketed DAC. Both outputs have Sparkos SS2590 Pro Dual op amps on them. I A/B both inputs on the RNHP and the RCA input is a few dB hotter than the balanced...- activestatic

This my stack. I bypass the DAC and EQ to edit on a different input. I listen to everything for enjoyment. Flipping amazing with AKM4499 and Sparkos SS2590 op amps.- activestatic
