It does work but I believe the circuit is designed to still charge and discharge the batteries at the same time for the C9 to operate instead of bypassing them completely.. But the AC noise that is present from running the amp this way is tooooo much.. but it may be better if your local...

Is the better half happy with the Hi-Fi life choice though?

The destroyer of many manufacturers' business model.. essentially turning all the other expensive 'earrings' into just another rather expensive set, nothing more 🙊

The name of that gold amp: Melus Arcadia, reminds me of an old song by Sarah Brightman / Katherine Jenkins

More on the Electronic music genre.. I have found that, as per some people's suggestion, trying to deliberately disconnect myself from reality and to let myself be taken to an alternate dimension or realm while listening to the genre is easier said than done.. However, it just happened one...

I can confirm what you are saying.. I tried some albums with my Prophile8 in neutral setting (almost flat).. great technicalities and all but absolutely lifeless with the Electronic albums that I tried.. Then I flipped both the Bass and Treble switches (more or less turning the PP8 into...

Hi Fellas, further on the Electronic music discussion: what kind of IEMs signature/tuning is generally best for the genre? I mean for IEMs with settings, such as the InEar Prophile8, 64Audio stuff with APEX modules, qdc Anole VX, Vision Ears Erlkönig, etc.. would it be best to use the setting...

IME with Brise Audio stuff.. it is not so much the cables, but the Tsuranagi amp that will give you the most improvements on soundstage and resolution/clarity.. I have tested the Tsuranagi amp with various DAPs and IEMs combination, and found that it will always move the whole soundstage...

Lots of music for me to try.. from a somewhat unfamiliar genre group too, and also to be listened in a totally different way to how I normally listen to music.. I can't wait to 'escape' to a different dimension 😆 This is a great way to keep the hobby fun and alive without having to spend on...

LOL no wonder.. I have been listening to Electronic music the wrong way all my life 🙈 Everytime I just went "Huh, what..??" But I totally get you Bro.. it's a similar reason why I watch absolutely weird Japanese indie movies (Tokyo Gore Police, anyone?) that everybody else just could not...

Wow thanks so much! 1. Electronic is the umbrella genre that I am looking for and should cover everything that I mentioned earlier 2. With the specific music example that you recommended, what do you pay attention to in the music? And consequently how would you use those things to assess...

That is a very foreign concept for me as an avid music listener but nevertheless very interesting! So what do you look for or pay attention to in said music?

Folks, there is something that I have been very curious about for a long time.. so I thought that I would ask (with the utmost respect and goodwill) for thoughts from those who understand.. I see that there are quite a few audiophiles (young and old) who listen mainly to EDM, House, Trance and...

I was wondering if the Sony DMP-Z1 is still the unbeatable king of portable/transportable player.. or is a similar performance (but maybe with a different tonality) now achievable with for instance Sony's own WM1Z/M2 as source paired with recent TOTL portable amps such as Brise Tsuranagi, Mass...

'Listening' by looking at measurements is relatively new, pioneered by certain individuals in recent years.. the real divide is actually between those looking for perfect reproduction of sound VS listening to music (need a good system to minimize distortions/distractions) and actually enjoying...
