That's normal, wouldn't worry about that. He always waits till the time when he makes it, depends how many are in line, sometimes it's quicker. I don't think he can remember or keep up with the many custom details unless he makes it that same day, I don't know who could. Usually it's about a...

I enjoy those aplenty on my 2^5 cut-out. Different focus, the most revealing sound in the mids and upper I've ever seen. The 2^5 at 'detailed' is actually deeper than my very detailed open backs were with these pads on quite a bit of content. Square still better overall to me but these are just...

Prompt payment, easy transaction, would sell to again!!

I bought all of my fuses from high end, including one of the new pink fuses.

Ultimate cable = OCC copper with nice flowing dialectics, gold connector which is neutral. Real high flow designs with OCC copper is brighter, but this is a positive attribute to me and part of hifi. The full spectrum of sound requires brightness where it is and many other special effects. I see...

32 Ohm Beryl is more transparent than 64 Ohm. Both are plenty good.

For under 1k iBasso DX260 is really good. Brand new tech, I am breaking mine in, can't wait to see it's full potential, it is very good for this price. Imaging is really good for this price point, and this is XTC strong point it goes together nicely. I also got my DX320 with 2 amplifiers, one is...

A joy to sell to, understanding and easy transaction. Thank you!

Just finished this system a couple of months ago. It's been nice enjoying it and not working on it so much. Endless plans in the future. This hobby never ends.

Balanced stack. Original owner. Includes Krait XLR from Schiit and a power cable. I also have longer Krait XLR if you need those just let me know. It will need a USB C cable to connect to Modius from source. This is the latest Modius ESS Sabre balanced DAC from Schiit. There is a scratch from...

Just changing the circuits they are plugged in to so the ground arn't connected. The ground loops from where the ground in the power cable is plugged in and also the interconnect end can cause the loop. Breaking up the loop on either end can work

It's unlikely to do anything for buzz/hum with any amp, it didn't do anything for mine and I tested it a bunch. It can suck out some ground noise in equipment in cases that have noise. The original recommended tubes for a tube amp help make the tube amp more resilient to hum/buzz. Separating the...

Audiophile optical can make a large difference in a revealing system for sure just like the rest of cables. Thankfully I'm not stuck with optical though. I think optical is on all devices because it breaks up ground loops and doesn't pass high frequency noise, good in those scenarios. If your...

Coax can be better than optical and vice versa. For me Supernova 7 optical beat regular amazon optical. Aliexpress Odin 2 Coax beat amazon optical. Supernova 7 optical beat odin 2 Coax. Audio Envy and Atlas Ascent Ultra Coax beat those. I would bet on higher end Coax winning out and it's what...

Yea I felt like these arn't too bad for some reason and I'd expect it to be worse. The only headphones I don't notice if I wear them all day long is the open backs, wow those things are lightweight, just a feather.

Heck yea, awesome. These headphones are something special for sure.

Stuff often gets stuck in customs for a long time. Sometimes it just blows by though too. If customs decides to process, it can take weeks, pretty standard. I've had many things get stuck in customs for weeks, even a month, but it showed up eventually. Sometimes it blows through. Doesn't mean...

Does 'timed' mean there are different types of slow-blow fuses. Or is that just what a slow-blow fuse is, a timed fuse (I'm guessing). Sounds like simply all 5x20 16A Slow blow or Fast blow will work.

Glad your making progress. If one stays dedicated you will always get there some day. Remember to write down the exact setup when your really happy with it or you will forget changing and rolling things. Even small things can really make a difference to the entire chain when it's just right like...

Mixing AES/RCA or balanced/unbalanced causes this stuff too, especially in big chain on a bunch of circuits. Audio pro told me this about my 2 10-2 lines that this is an issue in cases. Balanced end puts pressure on the coax end and the tube amp picks it up, swapping interconnects, optical and...

Got one of these used with gold knobs, feels like a real bargain. Can't wait to try it out. Synergistic Research PINK Quantum Fuses × 1 Small 5x20mm (0.75") / Fast (F) / 16A The above is correct I believe. Anyone confirmed the orientation?

Yea I own an R26. I don't want to go too in-depth as I'm still learning my DACs even more and my system is still changing, about to add another AMP and it I will be able to A/B these DACs with XLR/XLR. I can AB them with RCA/RCA on my tube amp. I will have better insight some day and it's easy...

After a while of not having I2s with my Pegasus I figured out what was wrong with it. My extra fat I2s cables put much pressure on the nearby Coax input and the I2s stopped working and I can confirm this. I decided the other day to try out Coax for the first time on the Pegasus having acquired a...

It sounds like a ground loop hum, ifi ground blocker is correct for that. I have one for sale if you need one. First thing to determine it's not a ground loop between DAC/AMP then go from there. You can find out if it's a simple ground loop by getting an extension cable and trying out other...

If worried about oxidation just use a $20 red/gold deoxit kit or Furutech Nano Liquid.
