The End-Game Solid State Amplifier Master List
The special version of CFA3 I built, with high-end JFETs in the input stage and 2 GRLV capable of delivering 30W per channel with microvolt-level noise…is end game. It’s also 2 X 2U rack-mount boxes and 30 pounds, so it’s not without demands. The other funny thing is: You get used to anything...- SolidSlug

Reply to review by 'SolidSlug' on item 'Mod House Tungsten'
Any measurements for these anywhere? Everyone says they’re the second coming, but I have not seen anything related to frequency response.- SolidSlug

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
Is this a new system to attach the pin to the yoke? I seem to notice a screw under there. That would fix my first and only gripe with the build of these ZMFs.- SolidSlug

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
The cable are adequate. I’m sure they work as well as any other cable, but Fostex knew better, since they adopted a more versatile connection method with the T60RP. They sound very good, though.- SolidSlug

Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition
I can also confirm the finicky locking cable on the pair I just received as well. You may lose a channel if the angle of the cable is not just right. And these cables are not soft. They kink.- SolidSlug

Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
Maybe so much “stuff” between the drivers and the ears is a great piece of engineering that makes conforming to a specific curve easier or possible…while creating a new kind of curtain for the wizard to hide behind. And maybe so much funneling of sound waves affects the naturalness of the...- SolidSlug

Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions
A couple of notes: It seems the whole Internet is getting out of its way to not post measurements of these. Focal, according to their ad campaigns, makes these for people who travel via private jets. So, one should expect Sony WH-1000XM5 sound quality in a luxury/premium build. Granted, the key...- SolidSlug
