New UD-507 was just announced https://teac.jp/int/support/news/7603 has almost the same features as the UD-701. Different Dac chip but slightly more powerful headamp output. set for Late June Release.

That is a bit odd because you can directly connect Susvara/tungsten etc to the ribbon output on a HSA-1b, it comes with the cable to do it and is suggested in the manual; but i dont think the VM-1a supports it. With enough willpower and free time I'm sure someone will test it :o2smile:. I've...

I just wanted to say that i prefer mine without the filters; I've tried through Roon, Foobar and Convolver just to make sure i was using them right but did'nt like the results. For me it takes all the magic out, they just become dull and muted. The Visceral and Raw nature they give out the box...

Tried to answer all his questions and be as forthright as possible. Great guy, easy to deal with and positive Head-Fi'er A+++

When I picked up my SR2 on the second day, the left earcup nearly fell off. I hadn't noticed the screw was loose at all during the first day of fondling and listening. Its not loose now, but it still has a bit more wiggle room than the right (which seems 'normal'). I try to keep an eye on it...

Maybe it was psychosomatic 🤷‍♂️ I feel like the sub-bass has improved notably, i was also having issues getting it to normalize, it felt lacking in some frequencies it just sounded dull. after a few days and re-testing the same music, tracks that had unimpressed me before sounded much more...

Headband feels and smells like leather. earpads are super soft I cant 100% tell if its leather or not. but the stock pads are fantastic on it, i'm not sure they need replacing. I tried several pads. Brainwaves Gel + sheepskin, Dekoni LCD angled Velour, Yaxi th900 Velour, everything seems to...

I got my pair today too, how do you find the amp'ing and generally powering of them? the Dynamics are there and the detail is good. I just struggle to get them loud, i'm used to Arya's i guess. Tried pad rolling just encase, but the second set i find just tones everything down to be more...

Curiosity got the better of me after reading all these threads, I'm waiting for a pair to arrive this week :grimacing: . I use Arya as a daily driver and should be content, but I still feel there is something I'm missing. I'm no reviewer but I can try to do some a/b comparisons after its...

Norwegian shop has them on pre-order with shipping date of 2nd Sept. maybe a global stealth launch or its just a "sell when you get stocked units".. 🤷‍♂️

They replaced the JFet ( junction-gate field effect transistor) from the input signal to use another type; BJT (Bipolar junction transistor) to process the signal slightly different. " The major difference between BJT and FET is that, in a field effect transistor only majority charge carries...

From the facebook page, I think the 2 main features are Bipolar input instead of J-fet and IR remote port + i would guess motorised volume. FA-10 features - JFET inputs and BIPOLAR outputs stage circuit design; - Neat high freqs - Full-bodied mids - Fast and soft bass response with a bit...

You just hold the volume tight and pull it towards you whilst holding the amp steady; it will slowly slide off of the pin. The new volume is milled Aluminium and tightens with a grub screw + small Hex key. You can get all of the New amps painted any colour you want to, just need to email them /...

No its the FA-10.

I cant really give a great review i do not have that much experience with a wide range of gear. Using Arya and directly comparing it to THX there is a lot more overall detail and the bass hits harder. Running High gain at 12 o'clock its decent listening volume but creep it towards 1 and things...

Any colour is an option, you just need to ask nicely. :) As of right now my FA-10 is one of a kind, I asked for white but Matt silver was the quickest option; since that's what the volume + fonts usually are (inverted paint scheme). Production was delayed for part shipments... I ordered on May...

Picked up my FA-10 yesterday. It's still burning in, which is'nt hard since it runs quite warm.

All colour's are made to order, you just need to discuss it with Vitaliy after your purchase via 'info' email. My FA-10 is complete but I had enough time to request a custom paint job before they shipped it. Hopefully ill get a preview on Monday. :darthsmile: whats a few more days wait.
