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?

Clear communication, super fast shipping, well packed, and great price! Wonderful seller.

Great buyer! Quick communication and payment, and fair in negotiation. Enjoy the headphones!

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

For sale is a well-cared for pair of Final D8000 Pro in silver. I am the third owner, and am only selling because I upgraded to the Pro LE. The headband, pads, and chassis are all unblemished, though there is some dust in the photos. It will ship with the original packaging and accessories...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

Magni+ and Heretic on closeout at schiit https://www.schiit.com/products/magni-plus $69 and $59 respectively

There's some pretty huge discounts on EarMen gear at Bloom Audio today. The streamers are sold out but it looks like you can still order the amp and DAC products. 67% off their AIO seems like the biggest deal left. I wonder how well it stacks up against the Magni Unity at $200...

This is a really informative video. It's a shame about the playback speed issue on the CP13. You can clearly tell it's playing the tape too fast in the comparison section, which is a shame because I feel it also had the highest fidelity of the 4 new production models. Hopefully Fiio can address...

I've been comparing the LE to the Pro for a couple of months now and I think I'm going to have to buy a set of G pads for the LE. The LE is tuned more neutral, which does make it more well-rounded, but eventually I found myself missing the warmer, darker tonality of my Pro. I've been waiting for...

Hi everyone! I've been a lurker on this thread since mid-'23 since I got my own HA-300. I've already climbed mount Elrog and paired them with a lovely quad of Mullard vr-135, but I struggled to find the elusive Japanese rectifier tubes until @idairyou was kind enough to share the link to a...

It's exciting to see more options for premium new production 6SN7 tubes. A 3 month warranty seems a little short for a $200 tube though. I would have liked to see at least 6 months to feel like they're confident in the quality of their stock.

Based on what I heard of these at CanJam, that's a spectacular deal! Congrats on the award! I couldn't resist placing an order at that price.

It was confirmed by Jason in the Schiit Happened thread

My Auteur Classic Ash LTD arrived today! Despite all of the burl options on offer, this wood in particular caught my eye. Seeing (and hearing) it in person, I have no regrets on the choice. I'm excited to share photos for anyone else who finds this wood irresistible! And thank you @zach915m and...
