does anyone still love their ps1000?
They are still my reference and out of the Meier Concerto nothing short of amazing. Quote: Me too. And the descriptive Reviews here. IMHO, PS-1 and PS1000 are on the same level. My RS-1 and PS-1 were balanced once but I did not like what it did to the sound. It works...- Kurt

Weird distortions coming from the PS1000
I never heard a distortion that was not in the recording. Allegedly, a few of the early production pairs went bad after a few hours of use and were replaced by Grado. Was the second pair you heard in a store too? If not, what did the owner say about your findings?- Kurt

Meier Audio StageDAC
Good points, guys. Also, part of getting accustomed to differences is a learning to appreciate them. Who doesn't know the newby (still sane people) sentence "Yes, it sounds better, but not X amount of money better"? Quote: This is not my experience. But if you say so.- Kurt

Quote: Noted. I probably confused them with another model. I agree with everything else you wrote, except your view of the HD800.- Kurt

Meier Audio StageDAC
Quote: I don't know the STX and it may very well be almost as good as the Stagedac. But your phones might be the weak Link in a Stagedac -> Concerto chain. Maybe you would hear bigger differences with more resolving cans. Can you borrow some? Or travel to a meet with your rig?- Kurt

Want more bass from your HD 800? – Easy mod
Quote: Not quite. The mod elevated bass as a whole. The strange midbass dip is still there. That, and I just could not get used to the sound of the HD800. A matter of taste; I guess.- Kurt

REVIEW: Meier Audio Concerto headphone amp
Quote: Thanks for the tips, Peter. The amp is already sold to JaZZ who likes it quite a bit. When I had it I liked the new production tubes more, actually. Esp. the Sovtek 12AXLPS and the EH Gold. Quote: Hehe, good for you. All the best for many more years to come.- Kurt

REVIEW: Meier Audio Concerto headphone amp
Quote: I don't know the SR325 or the Sudgen Headmaster, sorry. But I can tell you this much: With the PS-1, GS- and PS1000, I much prefer the Concerto over a maxed out Mapletree. Which is a wonderful amp but just not on the same level as the Concerto. The Concerto is the least SS...- Kurt
