Hi all, For sale is a pair of HD800S in good condition. I think I'm the third owner based on this original listing. I tried them for 30 minutes and decided that they didn't fit in my collection, so they've been sitting pretty on the shelf. Anyway, I'm selling these to get a new office chair...

Hi all, This amp was sold nearly 3 months ago (original listing here) but was returned randomly due to the buyer's complaints about issues (burnt smell, loose volume pot, loose tubes) that were not present before or after the sale. To put any concerns to rest and for the sake of transparency, I...

Sorry for taking so long with my report, but here are my observations that might help someone. Similar to @lauthoerer, my HP8 is only about 99% pitch-black. The hum and static are the loudest at the "high" impedance, inaudible at "medium", and non-existent at "low". At the "low" impedance...

Agreed, very well put!

Having listened to both the Empyrean 2 and HE1000SE and sold the HE1000SE a week later, I agree with most of his review. I was in the market for fun, engaging, and neutral-bright but not sibilant headphones, easy to drive and available (cough cough Modhouse Tungsten) to accompany my lush and...

I have 3 XLR cables, 2 copper 1 silver, and this silver one is the most sensitive to RFI if you remember my HP8 thread last week. Thankfully it’s gotten much better now as I lace my entire setup with ferrite beads… I think it took an entire 28-pack of ferrite beads to keep the RFI at a barely...

Of course, the HP8 is the audiophile’s best-kept secret 🤫 It’s just the premium cable that came with the Empyrean 2. It’s beautiful but it’s been giving me so much headache lately…

If you’re talking about the white handheld console, it is the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme instead of the Steam Deck :) From the GamerNexus’ review, the Ally performs better than the Deck at the cost of its horrible battery life. If you’re thinking about getting one, I highly recommend getting the...

All my vices (except food) in one place.

Hi all, appreciate all of your advice and suggestions! I've tried some of these ideas but couldn't get rid of the RFI :disappointed: I'd have bought these if they were in the States. Does anyone know any alternative source? I'm just using some XLR to RCA cables from Cable Matter at the moment...

I think I'm at my wit's end with the RF interference and I'm losing it... I just moved to a new apartment in the same building - higher and not facing the street, which is much more peaceful (no more random people yanking on your backdoor at 5 am :D). However, the past 2 days have been...

One of the best sellers I've come across! Mark shipped the headphones out very fast, packaged them very well, and communicated thoroughly. Would not hesitate to buy from him again.

Jimmy's a legit and friendly buyer! Prompt payment, quick communication, and all around a good person to be dealing with.

Great headphones at an insane price, GLWS

It arrived last night and I’m experiencing something similar with the static. It only appears at the lowest volume setting, which is strange because this never happens with my Mullard 12AT7. There’s a high pitch ring when there’s a signal from Roon and when the volume knob is set past 3 o’clock...
