Cayin HA-300MK2 (2022) TOTL Transformer coupled Direct Heated Triode Tube HeadAmp (Page 91)
I haven't seen any impressions of a Philips 22de4. That might be an interesting one to check out! Did they run out of Westinghouse and Raytheon?- flador

ZMF Auteur Thread
I used to own an Asgard 3, and recently got a Flux Fa-22, which I feel has a similar flavor in its sound. The Fa-22 is my favorite SS pairing with Auteur Classic, so I'd be willing to bet it sounds wonderful with Asgard 3 as well. My overall favorite amp with it has to be the Folkvangr. I...- flador

Comment by 'flador' on listing '* Price Drop * Final D8000 Pro (Silver)'
It's my first public listing. 3 out of the 4 feedback I have comes from sellers I purchased items from here. The last one is from a sale I made via private messages and did not have a public listing for.- flador

Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio
The output impedance on the Schiit Folkvangr OTL is similarly low: Schiit managed to get it down to 7 ohms without using the impedance multiplier, so I think it's reasonable xDuoo was able to get it to 5.3 Ω, but they could be using a similar technique to the multiplier in Folkvangr.- flador

Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio
I'm very impressed that in switching from a PCB to point-to-point wiring going from the TA-26 to the TA-66, the price has gone down. If the sound benefits from the new design and construction, this could be a fantastic deal for an OTL.- flador

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
MJ3 is my favorite amp with the Empyrean OG. I've only demoed the Empy II off the Ferrum Oor, but given my own impressions of the Oor compared to MJ3 I would guess it's an equally good pairing. I just sold off my Oor/Hypsos stack because I felt like MJ3 in low gain push-pull mode sounded better...- flador

This is my first listing on head-fi but I have feedback from over 30 transactions over on r/AVExchange (which is where I first acquired this headphone). I'm happy to provide evidence of my sale history if it increases your confidence!- flador

ZMF Auteur Thread
This discussion made me want to do a quick compare of my Auteur Classic against LCD-X 2021. Here's my general breakdown relative to each other: aC: Wider but flatter stage, more in-front of the head, full-bodied lows with more midbass emphasis, noticably more decay to notes, more laid-back in...- flador

ZMF Auteur Thread
I think it depends on how good of a deal you're getting, and which version of the LCD-X it is. I've owned both a 2019 and a 2021 LCD-X. The 2021 revision to the LCD-X is a big step up from the older models. Cleaner highs, tighter bass, and richer mids. I would say it's a worthy competitor to...- flador

The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
I see the main site also shows out of stock. Makes me wonder if this was some kind of warehouse clearance sale. I was almost expecting it to be discontinued after a sale like that, but the website shows a restock date this month.- flador

Schiit Folkvangr - Impressions Thread
I struggled with really enjoying my Auteur Classic until I tried it with Folkvangr. It's really a fantastic combo. I used to own a VC, but I wasn't terribly fond of it compared to my Atrium. I haven't heard the OG Auteur, but I can tell you the Atrium Open and Auteur Classic can be very...- flador

Feedback by 'flador' on listing 'RARE Pinch Waist Amperex 7062 Well Matched Pair NOS 12AT7 ECC81'
Tubes arrived quickly and I got to try them out today. They sound excellent! The way they were packaged, they could have survived being air-dropped onto my house. Great transaction.- flador
