    Audio-GD DI-20

    @OCC7N Jumper settings are stock. Haven't tried doing anything yet, I figured with the external PSU it shouldn't make that big of a difference. @sajunky First i turned the power on the DI20HE off and plugged the usb out but didn't wait long, didn't unplug the power cord and waited maybe 5-10...

    Audio-GD DI-20

    I have a bit of a story with some questions for the more digital-minded among us. System - PC with jcat usb xe + clock + external psu -> DI20HE with external clock -> Dave/Gustard R26 with external clock -> Primavera I always leave my gear running 24/7 ( except the PC and the amplifier ). Over...

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    Does anyone know if it's possible to order just the mounting rings for the pads? I reached out to Ryan a few days ago, but can't really expect to get an answer, he must be flooded with messages.

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    The only remaining part from the original he-6 are the 4 screw drivers and maybe the metal in the headband. So I guess it's a lot. Wooden Cups, different shape, mini XLRs, magnetic pads, fuzzors, vents in the cups, placing drivers further from the ear ... quite a bit. The result is my favourite...

    Trafomatic Primavera Initial Impressions

    I think if You already own 437a, the difference won't be that big. But it's just a hunch, spec wise both tubes are definitely top choices. And the owner was very clear in his intentions :beyersmile: Not selling.

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    DS Tungstens have finally arrived. Obviously it will take a week or two to let both them and myself get "burned in", but the first impressions are definitely positive. Over the years I have attempted to upgrade my Shipibo modded HE-6, but sadly to no avail. Purchased Susvara twice on two...

    Trafomatic Primavera Initial Impressions

    Not too long ago I was able to borrow a pair of Telefunken EC8020s. Purchased the necessary adapters from Deyan and spent a couple of days with them. I've tried the obtainable 6C45P-E variants/equivalents, but never experienced the super tube (we 437a or tfk ec8020). Currently using the Electro...

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    If You are an Empyrean fan, I suppose the Tungsten really shouldn't be for You :beyersmile: At least based on the initial descriptions. In fact, I'm not sure if there are other high-end headphones with similar signature. Can't think of any.

    Yep, nov 3rd, ds version. I suppose domestic orders have a priority over international ones, because they don't require filling these pesky duty forms. Though if it doesn't depart by the end of the Sunday, I'll send an email, because there is a world where my order simply got lost.

    Hold Your horses with all of the estimates and calculations guys. It might be true that the order 8814 has shipped, but the 8811 has yet to do so :beyersmile:

    Does anyone know the current expected lead time for Immanis/Magna in Europe? @Aleksandar R.

    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    If an owner of the Trafomatic Primavera ever decides to pick these up, feel free to share Your thoughts and tag me! Can't wait to try them during one of the shows ( or maybe a demo will appear in Poland one day ), though based on some of the initial impressions I'd probably need to change some...

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    On a different note - I hope that the influx of the new ~2-3k-4$ headphones ( Empyrean II, Charybdis, Tungsten ) will results in even better TOTLs planars. I obviously understand that for most value per dollar is the most important metric, but ngl. I'd love to see Susvara successor, 1266 TC...

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    Apologies for the question, but did You order them on November 3rd or earlier? I'm trying to figure out if the Nov 3rd batch has started shipping :beyersmile:
