has anyone compared the suede Vs the Lamb caldera ultraP pads? anything that stand out between those two on the VO? Specially Bass and voice thickness!

Can anyone comment on the SQ quality of the R7 vs R9 from their Digital outputs(SPDIF/USB)? Do they use the same Oscillators? Is the R9 worth the upgrade if using it as a digital transport only?

VC is not a warm headphone , but the stock cable makes it sound warm. Once you try a better cable you will be surprised of the additional detail you’ll get. Same for usb and rca cables if you’re using cheap ones.

Suede Uni for me also. The thinner pads shows more dynamics as they are closer to ears but they loose on stage. The solution is to just use a higher volume with the uni suede.

Wanted to share some Haitian art with ZMF art and also a great track AND a comment on pads. The live from union chapel. I’ve seen so much love for the Be2 pads for the VO and I do like the warmth and macro dynamics but the stage collapses too much for me. When I switched to the universe...

From reading a few threads, I know the hp8 is a bit better than the wa3. But wondering how the wa2 fair against the hp8 , knowing that it bested the wa3? Can’t decide between wa2 and hp8, I only use VO as my headphone.

Has anyone experienced a change in soundstage placement with the holo red added as a ddc? I’m looking for a way to push back the stage, as if I was seating in the 5th row instead of the first row. I use headphones and want the voice in front of me instead in my head. Since some holo products...

In search of a tube amp for my VO. This track has been my best tool to finding the best vocal sound while doing some tube rolling on my dac. It was recommended to me as one of the best female vocals but when played through different SS dacs and amps, I was not impressed. So I tried a tube dac...

When you have two hobbies! VO Portrait

Too cool not to post! The beginning of this track makes the VO completely disappear on your head.

Going from stock to a better cable is a must! Just did with those Norne Cables and the difference was really apparent. More resolution and better staging. Now from Forza to 2k, it will not be much of a difference. But, if you don’t have a balanced connector on the forza, it’s worth getting a...

The new kid on the block! Aune s17 Pro. Anyone on a budget will appreciate this post! Why all the Hype? well, this thing sounds very good and competes with amps twice his price. To my ears, better then V222, Burson soloist, and others in that price range. Very good soundstage, great dynamics...

If you’re in Europe, the EAR HP4 is end game. No one mentioned it , but that lower priced Mytek liberty thx amp is as good as the v550. Another endgame universal tube amp is the LTA MZ3 but not from Europe.

Thank you! been looking for a solution to this. i will contact him.

just an update on previous post! I was not satisfied with the mids , specially voices, too forward. But it turned out to be the Aune s17 that tends to push things forward when in High Gain. Once put in low gain, you can actually hear the mids move back a bit and sound more natural. The sound of...
