    CanJam NYC 2022 Impressions Thread (February 26-27, 2022)

    Had a great time today (day 2) at CanJam NYC 2022! Enjoyed Woo Audio WA23 along with the Abyss phones. Overall, I really liked the Blue Hawaii with the Voce.

    STAX SRM-D10 Portable Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier / DAC

    Been curious about the SR-003 MK 2 and finally bought one. Really liking the sound. More towards the 007mk2 sound than 009. By the way, I know a lot of folks say the D10 can't drive the 007mk2 but for my ears, it is way loud enough. I never go beyond 1 o'clock with the 007mk2. As far as...

    I’ve been using the WA11 for a year now. Such a great amp. It sounds great with all my phones. No fatigue.

    Audio technica 2018 new family lineup: ATH-CK2000 Ti, ATH-AP 2000Ti and ATH-CM 2000Ti

    I would not say "not appropriate" for jazz as everyone has a different bias for sound. The fact is the human ear canal is not a flat frequency hearing device. We all hear differently. What sounds grainy sounds smooth to another, etc. For my ears, I prefer a more pristine and less bass heavy...

    Audio technica 2018 new family lineup: ATH-CK2000 Ti, ATH-AP 2000Ti and ATH-CM 2000Ti

    I just picked up the CK2000Ti at the Tokyo Headphone Festival yesterday. I've only had it a day but I like the sound of these IEMs. I would not use it for acoustic jazz or classical but for pop music, it sounds great. Warm and big bass going deep but clear. Not bright at all and I can listen...

    Comment by 'jazzgene' in article 'Chord Mojo FAQ'

    I use an iPhone with a Mophie Battery Case. The case uses a micro usb plug. Is it possible to use a OTG cable to connect the Mojo to the iPhone with the OTG cable?

    Happy new owner of Stax

    Picked up a quartet of nos RCAs for my 007tii. On one of the tubes, with the TVR4 trimmer maxed out, I can only get to a match difference of 0.175v. The other 3 tubes, I was able to match to 0v. Hmmm. Sounds great but should I return one of the tube? Not cheap. $240 for the quartet. Or is a...

    Tube Change/Biasing a Stax 006t II

    I need to bias my SR007tII as the original tubes on the right channel died. I see in the 007tII, there are TVR3 and TVR4. I can't find a schematic for this amp and am trying to find out what these trimmers are? Is setting the DC balance and DC offset with TVR1 and TVR2 enough? TVR3 and TVR4 has...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    HD 650 and Benchmark DAC1 sounds perfect together.  Almost makes me think Benchmark designed their DAC1 around the HD 650!  My HD 800 doesn't sound nearly as good through the DAC1.

    List of DACs that work with iPad

    I was able to get the iPhone 6 to work with Teac UD-501. Had to use a powered USB hub between though.
