Oppo HA-1 in excellent condition. In addition to its excellence as a headphone amp, it's an excellent pre-amp for monitors or a stereo amp. Will ship in original packaging with remote and power cable. CONUS shipping to PayPal verified address.

Oppo PM-1 planar magnetic headphones include the original 3 sets of pads. 3 cables are included, 2 are balanced 4 pin neutrik connectors, 1 is the mobile "skinny" cable. I have a TRS to balanced cable to convert the balanced cables to SE. Original outer box, the wooden box, manual etc. and the...

James was an excellent buyer, prompt payment and follow up on delivery of the pre-amp. Thanks James.

Price includes shipping and paypal fees. Purchased new 4/16/21, and has been used on and off since then. Price includes the JJ tubes that were sent with it from schiit audio, and a second set, a matched quad of Tung-sol platinum graded cryo'ed tubes from upscale audio.

Here's a fun one. This morning I noticed that a twist tie on my desk stuck to the Freya remote. It seems this remote has magnets in it, and will stick to a metal surface. It will stick right to the sides of the Freya, a leg on my rack, etc. etc. Anyhow, check it out with yours. I don't recall...

One week ago today, I received a matched quad of the new Russian mfg. Tung-sol 6sn7gtb's. I listened to those for 6 days, and found they have a lot more detail than the JJ stock tubes. With the JJ quad, I thought there was a bit of roll off on the highs, but it wasn't horrible. Switching to...

Freya uses 6SN7 and variants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6SN7 Wikipedia has a list of a lot of variants, but still you may need to verify that these will work in place of 6sn7. I recall 5998's from Bottlehead Crack experience I have, it's a 6080 variant, and would not work to my knowledge.

I came across the same note from Jason in a different thread, about the availability of the black model. I went and looked at the order form, I didn't remember the option. Anyhow I emailed over to orders@ and just said I was fine with black. I was about 4 or 5 weeks into the wait already...

I opted for the black and tan: I had the OG Freya, and I don't recall all the reasons, hated it. Sold it, and got an XSP-1 from Emotiva, which is a fantastic solid state pre-amp. I remember reading the announcement for the freya + and thinking that they fixed all the stuff I hated. Mainly...

Here is an offer for an Atlanta area Vidar owner: I recently acquired a set of Tekton Double Impacts, and would very much like to hear them with Vidar. If you are Tekton curious, it would be a two way street, you can check out the speakers, and I get to demo the Vidar. PM me if you would be...

They were about 40% off when I ordered them. And I'm sending them back. Too heavy, too much clamp, and I don't find they really beat the sound of my Sennheiser 4.40 BT's that cost 1/3. So lots of caveats with this, PSB's have Aptx HD, Tri-mode, replaceable battery. But after a week, I just...

I'm got my pair of PSB's today, and just have a short time with them, so this will be a shortish review that I'll come back and edit to update as I am able to try out each feature. I'll start with 2 things, the batteries, and the triple mode feature of the headphones, and then some general...

Awesome. Not much in the way of real reviews yet, glad to have confirmation. The two reasonable reviews I saw mentioned you could also run regular batteries as a backup. Amazon had a crazy deal on these today, don't know when I'll get them, but they are ordered. Thanks for the follow up.

Looking forward to your update. Can you confirm the batteries are AAA rechargeable and user replaceable? That's a big differentiator for me.

I've got a Wyred4Sound ST500mkii, a very similar amp to the nord's, well at least in that they are both class D amps. Wyred uses the B&O Icepower modules instead of the Hypex modules. I also use the Elac UB5's, but I'm considering to go to the UF5's shortly. It's a great setup, massive sound...

Another Rack work in progress, the view from the Poang! Ikea Aptitlig bamboo cutting boards are sitting under the components resting on skateboard truck bushings. This is the Sanus Rack you see for sale all over the place:

I use the SE outputs for two sub's one on left, one on right while either using the SE output to a SE amp, or balanced to a balanced input amp. It works fine either way. BUT! know if you use the tube stage, and power off the Freya while those subs are powered, you will get a massive thump. 99%...

There's a Saga tube rolling thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/826632/schiit-saga-tube-rolling     Many, including myself are happy with the Tung-sol new stock 6sn7 made in Russia. So are a lot of Freya owners in their thread, but they use a quad of the Tung-sol's. 

I'm using a U-turn Pluto phono preamp, with the Saga, and for the pluto, which has 30db gain, I have to spin the volume as high at 100% with older recordings.  80-90% for most, it *just* makes is loud enough.  Now, I don't have efficient speakers, Elac UB5's, so that contributes to it also.  If...

I picked up a pair of the new Sennheiser HD 4.40BT headphones, they are $149.  I also have a pair of wired Momentum 2's.  I previously tried the B&W P7, but the hiss was too loud.  Happy to say, the 4.40 is a winner for me.  Compared to these two other headphones, the 4.40 has a bass enhancement...

Thanks for that reply.  I did send the P7's back, but right before doing so, I did flash them with the latest firmware update which greatly improved the volume control as far as going very quiet.  I had experimented with reducing the volume on my phone down to about 40-50% when listening to...

I had the B&W P7's and while I loved the sound, they were quite uncomfortable to wear for more than about 30 minutes.  Additionally, they hiss at all times when using the BT connection.  Can any of you that have the Onkyo comment on the background? Is there hiss or static?  Is it completely...

And... nearly a year later, someone tries these.  So, to set the stage, I mostly listen portable to a Momentum 2 wired, via Moto X Pure, and sometimes Dragonfly black. I also have HA-1/PM1 setup, and a Bottlehead Crack with the Senn/Massdrop 6XX fed by a modi multibit.  Monoprice is always...

Matt - for our area, we had a fairly dry day in terms of humidity.  I have static problems with my gear as well, but primarily during the winter when the heat it on, and drying out the room.   A humidifier can help, but I also find sometimes my selection of clothing has an impact, things like...

For me, the new stock Tung Sol was the first tube I got for the Saga, as I use the 12au7/6189 they make in my Crack.  I posted on this earlier in the thread, no specifically about the Tung-Sol, just that from the tubes I tried, I just don't hear a lot of difference in them, and yet, have come...
