Reply to review by 'tvrboy' on item 'ZMFheadphones BOKEH'
Great review and photos! When can I subscribe to your glossy, art-house headphone magazine? Honestly, you're a better writer than most professional audio reviewers (not a difficult task).- tvrboy

HEDD Audio HEDDphone TWO - Now Available for Pre-Order with Special Pre-Order Bonus
That's a good question. I would say the lack of excitement is in large part due to Hedd's product design and marketing decisions. Just to set context, I own a HP2, pre-ordered from headphones.com as soon as it was released, and you can see my review earlier in the thread. I think that although...- tvrboy

HEDD Audio HEDDphone TWO - Now Available for Pre-Order with Special Pre-Order Bonus
Totally agree on both points. Since getting my HP2 I've had many hours-long listening sessions and found the headband to be very comfortable. It is a little heavy but the pressure is evenly distributed. The HP2 also has great build quality and comes with everything you need in terms of...- tvrboy

Just ordered while co-workers discuss the weather in a virtual meeting. Looking forward to trying this out! I can't believe you can get a hybrid IEM for less than $20 now.- tvrboy

Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver
Nice video and I'm glad to see companies introducing affordable headphones instead of $5000 flagships. A few questions: It was mentioned that the headband is patent pending. Can you go into more detail on the function of the headband and how it's different than off-the-shelf options? Composite...- tvrboy

DSP-enabled, MOONDROP MAY is dropped!
Just got my May ... unfortunately I have to say this is the first headphone I've ever bought that I need to return. The main reason being, the ear tips are so small I cannot get them onto the nozzle, even after trying some maneuvers with paper clips. They were clearly made for some other product...- tvrboy

Burson Soloist 3X GT Headphone amp - US Tour
Thank you very much to Burson Audio for allowing community members to experience this awesome product! Here are my impressions: Intro My interest in the Burson Soloist started off with a question: how much better can it get? How much better than a pile of Schiit, that is. During the last...- tvrboy

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I'm not using any EQ and crossfeed feature on the Burson is off. Although both DAC and amp are balanced I lack the interconnect cables so I'm just using single ended outputs / inputs.- tvrboy

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I'd like to ask the Schiit experts in this thread for advice about a vexing issue with my Schiit: I have some sort of weird incompatibility between a new amplifier (Burson Soloist 3X GT) and my Gungnir multibit. Whenever I use the two together there is low-level bass distortion. The issue is...- tvrboy

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Haha the end game posts are truly annoying. Everyone thinks they reached endgame because they bought two $300 headphones and kept the one they liked better. It's like if someone test drove a Corolla and Civic, bought the Civic, and then posted on r/cars "hey bois I've found my car endgame, Civic...- tvrboy

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
Sorry for the late reply, just like to close the loop if someone asks me a question. In terms of power only the Midgard may be "end game" in the sense that it can power any headphone except some super high end planars. In terms of sound quality, definitely not even close to what the best...- tvrboy

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
Do you have an amplifier that you are satisfied with already? If yes, I'd stick with that. Without the Halo output, Midgard is just like a really really really good Magni in my opinion. Magni+++ if you prefer. If no, the Midgard would be the perfect starter amp using single-ended output. It's...- tvrboy

HEDD Audio HEDDphone TWO - Now Available for Pre-Order with Special Pre-Order Bonus
I received my Heddphone Two this week and have already listened for several hours. I’m surprised there aren’t more impressions here, so I’ll share my impressions of this unique headphone (abbreviated HP2 below because I’m too lazy to type of the full name). As far as first impressions go, the...- tvrboy

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
I have the Lyr+ which, according to my understanding, hasn't changed much from the Lyr 3, in tube mode at least. I did a writeup above comparing the two. Lyr is definitely better so if you are happy with that, I wouldn't buy a Midgard. It does have a more forward character which contrasts nicely...- tvrboy

Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
That's a good question. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the Lyr+ in solid state mode, but I tried it out vs Midgard regular mode tonight with the Heddphone Two. Here are my impressions: The timbre of Midgard sounds artificial in comparison with Lyr. I think Midgard would sound OK in isolation...- tvrboy

See MOONDROP planar PARA, CD player, and 2DD+8BA flagship IEM!
Wow, no digital out for the CD player? That's a big miss ... still might buy it because I've been looking for a compact CD player but it would be so much more valuable with digital output. It seems like CD players are having a moment with several new affordable transports being introduced in...- tvrboy

Shanling EH3 - Desktop DAC/AMP with Wi-Fi, USB Drive Playback and Flagship ESS ES9039PRO DAC
What is the design on the top panel? Could we have a photo? IMO this is a really-nice looking product. Really like the way that the black screen blends with the entire front panel. Perfect for a one-box system in the office.- tvrboy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
I totally agree with you. I got to try MJ3 today with my Auteur Classic at the Schiit meet in Ohio. I have a Lyr+ and was curious whether the MJ3 would be significantly better. For the Auteur Classic, I can say the answer is yes. As you described, the music has a sort of lush / liquid / rich...- tvrboy

First of all, I want to say a big thank you to everyone at Schiit for sending out all this equipment and to Jason for doing a Q&A session for us. I can’t imagine another audio company sending their entire product line for a local meet with 16 people, but that’s one of the reasons Schiit has so...
