Up for sale is a perfectly functional LP with a small scratch on the top - see photos. Great cosmetic condition otherwise. Smoke and pet free house. Comes in original box with all accessories and stock 6922 tubes. Price includes PayPal fee and shipping within CONUS.

Time permitting, I am planning to (finally!!!) check out HQplayer tomorrow. @briantrinh86 any idea what could one expect to achieve from mac mini M2 or M2 Pro? IF I can hear a noticeable improvement - I am willing to invest in M2 or M2 Pro mac mini... currently using NUC with 8th gen i7 processor.

Guys, since it has been quite a while since I updated the tube compatibility table, and since I have a little time this weekend for a change - I will be more than happy to update the table ;-) So... any omissions you'd like me to mend, now is the time! Also, per the good advice from @Nick Ryan -...

Trying to clear some space (and funds) - up for sale is my Drop x Koss ESP 95x headphones & Amp. These are amazing for their price, and possibly the best introduction to eStat with very small investment! I probably put less than 20 hours on these, which are practically brand new! Also includes...

Trying to clear some space (and funds) - up for sale is my HiFiMAN HE-400i headphones. These, along with Sennheiser HD600, were my first audiophile headphone purchases. Preferring the HD600 (to my taste and with the amps I had at the time) - I probably barely put 10-20 hours on these, which are...

Trying to clear some space (and funds) - up for sale is my Drop x Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee headphones. These are great for their price, but owning several much more expensive headphones - I probably put less than 10 hours on these, which are practically brand new! Local pickup preferred (in SF...

Trying to clear some space (and funds) - up for sale is Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones. Great budget headphones, which I never really used. Perfect for office or noisy home use! Local pickup preferred (in SF bay area) due to low price...

Guys, I am sorry for being 3 days behind, but I am catching up! Nobody is quitting here... :unamused: Please send a PM, and I will add to the tube compatibility table ;-)

2 words: Black Cat (IEM cable by NiceHCK for ~$20 on AliExpress) Still keeps many of the pokemon Chi-Fi IEMs at under $50 (IEM + improved cable), and still represent an AMAZING value! As I shared privately with some of my buddies offline, IMHO Chi-Fi made very big steps in the last 1-2 years...

You mean better than this? :smirk:

That is exactly what a robot would say... :smirk:

I wonder if that means Susvara OG dropping to $3,000? ;-) That means used Susvara at $2,000? Hmmm..... :thinking:

I personally use both open and closed headphones. Having said that, HiFiMAN's open backs are much better (to my taste and preferences) than their closed back... 🤷‍♂️

On somewhat frequent sales, HiFiMAN discounts Susvara by as much as 25% for open box (with full warranty). So, you could already buy Susvara for $4,500... Maybe the introduction of a new flagship would permanently drop Susvara to $3-4k price? I am definitely NOT a Susvara expert by any means...

As CanJam Shanghai is getting close (I wish I could attend... :tired_face:) I am starting to wonder what new headphones may get introduced / launched :thinking: Some rumors have been circulating about a successor to Susvara :scream: In the early days of Susvara, I could not understand the...

I do not believe additional CanJam is in the cards, so you may be disappointed if you keep waiting for that to happen. However, plenty of local meetups all over... Just saying ;-)

bump

Dekoni have leather pads that would fit. Their stuff is top notch quality. How it would sound compared to stock pads? Remains to be seen... 🤷‍♂️

Coolest DAC name. EVER.

we will have a homeless neighborhood for audiophiles who invested all their money in audio gear, and ended up on the streets (with TOTL sources, IEMs, headphones, etc.) :) Edit: we'll just call it a street meetup...

In my previous job, I used also HD569, but I drove it from Monoprice DAC/Amp (I forget the model, but it was ~$100). Excellent low-cost good-sound setup! Actually, I still own my HD569... I wonder if it makes sense to keep it once I get my HD620S :thinking:

Interesting.... :thinking: Checking their website and product page, I realized this thing has a fan! Does it ever make an audible noise? Do you turn it off or do you disconnect it from the wall? Just curious...

Accepting offers... ;-)

staying current with my Head-Fi followed threads has become a full-time job... :unamused:

A true drifter... :laughing:
