FrankHiNRG is a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended head-fier.

Reverend Jim is a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended headfier!

As I am selling my HE6se (https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/hifiman-he6-he6se-adorama-edition.64817/) I no longer need the Hifiman HE adapter to connect them to my power Amp speaker taps. I have the original box and will double-box for shipping. My asking price includes PayPal fees and...

I bought these HE6se new from Adorama in February 2022 to hear how the original high-end ortho would sound off the speaker taps of a Benchmark AHB2. The answer is exciting, impactful, and finely resolving (and not fatiguing at all!). Having moved to a bigger place, I have room for a nice speaker...

Hi, I am offering for sale my Hegel H160 Integrated Amplifier/DAC/Streamer. Stereophile has an excellent review of this great integrated from Norway. I rate it in 8/10 conditions for a small smudge on the top cover that may come off with a bit of elbow grease. For a close-up picture of the...

A quick and smooth transaction. It was a pleasure dealing with whitefang. As a bonus, we had a tremendous f2f conversation about cables and cabling, of which Eric is an expert. Thanks again for the coffee! :xf_cool:

I am selling these beauties (the pictures I took with my phone don't do them justice). I bought the Elear from Echo Audio in July 2018 to use as my office phones. Needless to say, they have seen very little use over the last two years. Excellent conditions (8/10). Sonically like new. No nicks...

Great buyer, paid promptly, smooth transaction. Thanks!

Having just upgraded to a HANA ML cartridge, I am putting my two-year-old HANA SL moving coil cartridge up for sale at a very competitive (and therefore firm) price. The Shibata stylus has less than 300 hours on it, and the cartridge looks and sounds like new. For $425, I will ship the HANA SL...

You may have already come across the BPO European Concert of 2020, freely available at https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/titelgeschichten/20192020/european-concert-2020/ A chamber ensemble of a dozen or so BPO players well-spaced on the Philarmonie stage performs three well-known...

That's doable if you have a DVD reader attached to your computer, and if you are willing to install certain applications that you can find how with some googling. You'd miss Villazon acting though: he's quite the comedian!

This one is fun https://www.amazon.com/Donizetti-LElisir-Netrebko-Villazon-Staatsoper/dp/B000F3T3CS both well sung and well-produced (in an appropriately silly setting). You can sample it on youtube The DVD has a better sound quality of course.

Coming back to this thread after a while to share a great COVID-19 freebie: Bach's "Christ Lag in Todesbanden", BWV 4 performed live by the Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra so sweet and moving, perfect for the moment. There is a lot more in the Monteverdis youtube channel in excellent sound (and...

my apologies for having confused you :-)   Let's make sure we are using the word "transparent" in the same way. What I mean by transparent is "not there", "easy to forget about". I agree with those saying that the Elear and the HD600 have a very similar timbre on the warm side of neutral. I...

I am not sure that "realness", and "clean" are the most prominent attributes of the Utopia. To my ears it lacks ultimate transparency. I must have listened to the Utopia for over one hour on Saturday. Still, every time I switched back to the Utopia I would be impressed - but  distracted - by its...

 I would really like to congratulate third_eye and the rest of the organizing team for striking the perfect balance between a well-organized audio show and a wonderfully chaotic meet of headphone geeks.   Walking into the Wikia headquarters (thanks for hosting!), we were treated to the...

not really, the stock cable is good   Quote:   not unless they are defective, in which case you should return the headphone. The only "mainstream" headphones wrto which you may find the T1 lacking in detail and soundstage are the HD800. Forget the pink noise, if your drivers are brand...

looking forward to it! Count me in

 I have heard an earlier version of your amp with my T1 and thought it was a great pairing for the music I was listening to back then (mainly baroque and classical with period instruments). I have always found the T1 a bit soulless with rock/soul/R&B. Only after pairing them to the Cavalli LC I...

as a long-term fan of all three headphones, I am not sure either the T1 or the HE-6 would be an upgrade given the character of Grace Design amps. What music do you listen to?

I have posted earlier in this thread about the Cavalli Liquid Carbon as a SS amp for the T1. I doubt you can find a significantly better sounding combination below $2000.    The thing I like best about the T1, particularly when driven by the LC, is that you can play anything "from Beethoven to...

you can also use the samples provided by Philips as part of their Golden Ears challenge.  That was an interesting (and humbling) experience for me and my rig.

we have mentioned Strawinsky Rite of Spring a few times already in this thread, but I was really thrilled by this "all Strawinsky" concert https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/concert/23081 which is streaming for free ATM.   This is an exciting performance from the opening Petruska to the...
