Thanks for your input. I haven't tried Military Glade GE yet. On the power tube, how do you like the KT77 in comparison to the stock Mullard?

Hello, I am interested in your Utopia 2022. The picture 2 (side view) shows some bad patters on both L&R phone holder. Is that some kind of scuff, or just the photo exaggerations? Are there any potential issues that you are aware of? Best, M

Thanks a lot!

* Sales pending I am selling my rarely used Sennheiser IE 900 in-ear monitors. (Purchased from an authorized dealer, and I am the original owner) These IEMs have been used for less than 100 hours as I have transitioned to over-ear headphones. The package includes all original accessories...

Can you explain why you weren't impressed with GL, and which is your favorite driver tube? Also, in my understanding, KT77 isn't recommended by Auris, although being said, some of those work. Do you have more information or experiences with KT77?

I was lucky to find a good conditioned Nirvana v2. After it was settled in my system, I began rolling out both tubes, running a gold lion and PSVane EL34PHs (retro). The amp is paired with Susvara and Utopia OG, very happy with the results.

For sale is a Hifiman HE1000se (8 weeks old), purchased as an upgrade from the HE1000V2. It was sent from HifimanUSA on 03/05/24 as a brand new. The total running hours is less than 80, since the primary use has been with Susvara. The headphones are in perfect condition, both cosmetically and...

Very friendly and responsive communication, and the quick shipment. The package is exactly what was described. Highly recommended!

PM-ed.

TD160 MK2 with TD160 MK2 with TP-16Mk3 arm. Only a weak point IMO is incapability of the arm for a low complience cartridge due to its super light weight. I had to give up a MC cartridge. I am using AT VM760SLC on it.

Hey, nice Rigs! Auris EITERPE is a headphone amp coming with DAC of which performance level is "just in case of no other DAC". On the other hand, the amp generates attractive tuby sound. I don't use it as an amp very often, but such a beauty A detailed review can be found at...

In my room's cozy corner, my prized Ivan Moravec album from the Connoisseur Society sits near the turntable, its 45rpm LP especially thrilling on Side 2's Chopin. Next to it, a solid headphone stand occasionally filament lights on, making its own resonant sound, enriching my listening moments.

"Got it, and I totally see where you're coming from. BTW, I figured out I really do need a good amp, and I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given me with that!"

Your guys are way out of my realm. Yeah, I spent 100k for a car but hard to justify the same amount for head-fi, at least Wife kills me if she finds :D

Thanks a lot. I am looking into those.

Thanks for your insight. Regarding Flux, how do you see the difference between Mentor x 2, Mentor x 1, and volot? One of YouTube says that Mentor x1 is still attractive, but I want to understands those benefit based on my current SPL.

W23 looks very special, but don't know how good it works with Sus (enough power?). On the Si amp, I will look into both Zahl MH1 and Enleum. Thanks a lot!

I see that Envy is getting very hot now. I wonder the gap between HA300MK2 and Envy, realizing there are very few thread of it in the Head-Fi. Thanks for the name of "Flux void" which is new to me. Will look into it.

Hi everyone! 😊 I've recently got my hands on a Susvara and, wow, I'm really blown away by how amazing it sounds. But I've noticed something - when I switch albums, it feels like my SPL Xe isn’t quite up to the task of delivering those deep lows. I’ve been diving into this thread, which is an...

Thank you for sharing your thought of D8000 in comparison to SE. My value of SE is still $3000, due to the path of upgrade to SE from V2, which I paid $2000, and SE holds a good presence to me with zero regret. Current price of $2000 looks to be just a steal, but good for a purchaser.

I am interested in D8000, too, waiting for your outcome. :)

I recently acquired the HE1000 SE and was pleasantly surprised by the significant leap in sound quality it presented to my ears. Initially, Had concerns about potentially losing the expansive soundstage that the V2 is known for. However, these concerns were unfounded as the difference turned...

Out of curiosity, why are you looking for an old FW? I have experienced better performance with the latest one, it's not perfect though.

Thank you. Confirmed that the issues on DSD file and sorting order were resolved.

Hello, I am interested in your HD800s. Would you let me know 1. how old, 2, if you are the original owner, 3. how soon you can ship upon the payment complete, 4. Is shipment included in the price. Thank you M.
