From what I remember off the top of my head... For class A (or A biased) speaker amps, the T.amp S-150 MKII mono's, Suncoz SGP1, Schiit Aegir 2 or Tyr mono's, Benchmark AHB2 are all good options. Any good quality class A speaker amp should work. Fosi has mixed opinions so I'd avoid it.

Hey, For sale is a used set of Ikko Asgard OH5's (https://www.ikkoaudio.com/products/asgard-oh5-iems), purchased second hand in 2023. They've been unused for a little over 6 months now since I'm primarily a headphone user, so looking to sell to help fund other audio purchases. There's a little...

Something like this (https://fogcityaudio.com/products/adaptor-cable-speaker-banana-plugs-to-female-4-pin-xlr), yeah? I unfortunately won't have a pre-amp for volume control, but don't swap things around too often. So hopefully the remote or up/down volume buttons shouldn't prove too annoying if...

Do you use an adapter cable for that, like a dual 3-pin to 4-pin female? Or is there a safer/better option? Don't have any experience using a speaker amp for HPs, but people do keep recommending them for the Tungsten's. Master 10 seems like a good option, then.

Hey, For sale is my Mjolnir 3 in black, bought new 6 months ago. It is barely broken in, and sounds absolutely wonderful. It's been sitting around not in use for the past two months after receiving the Tungsten's, so figured I'd try to find it a new home to help fund other audio purchases...

Seller was very easy to work with, quick shipping, arrived well-packaged and safe!

Hey, For sale is my Loki Mini+ in black, purchased in 2021. It is in perfect working condition and well taken care of, however I'm selling off all my current equipment to fund purchases to pair with my Tungsten's. I'm also selling my Jotunheim 2 and Modius purchased alongside the Loki in 2021...

Hey, For sale is my Modius in black, purchased in 2021. It is in perfect working condition and well taken care of, however I'm selling off all my current equipment to fund purchases to pair with my Tungsten's. I'm also selling my Jotunheim 2 and Loki Mini+ purchased alongside the Modius in...

Hey, For sale is my Jotunheim 2 in black (no DAC). It is in perfect working condition and well taken care of, however I'm selling off all my current equipment to fund purchases to pair with my Tungsten's. I've since lost the original user manual, and no longer have the original packaging, but...

Hey, For sale is my Mjolnir 3 in black, purchased 6 months ago. It is just broken in, and sounds absolutely wonderful. However, I'm looking to sell it already as it's not nearly enough for the Tungsten's I received a little over a month ago. Everything original is included (manual, power...

Hey, For sale is my Bifrost 2/64 in black, purchased 6 months ago. It is in perfect working condition, however there is scratch in the front (pictured) from when moving heavy equipment around. Everything original is included (manual, power cord), but no original packaging. I'll make sure it's...

Hey, I'm looking to sell a pair of Klipsch HP-3's in ebony. I've been the 2nd owner for the past 4 years, and they have been used daily up until recently. The headphones/pads were cleaned regularly and still sound as good as when I received them--no signs of degradation. They are obviously very...

Sorry, edited my post. USB isolator.

All listening will be done through my PC, so definitely not silent. Will likely never use a streamer with my setup. Kingwa doesn't recommend the use of a USB isolator before the DDC/DAC, correct?

I know I've read somewhere in this thread before something similar to this, but going to ask again since I can't find it. Going R-8HE MK3 > HE-9 MK3 is probably preferable over DI-24HE > R-8 MK3 > HE-9 LE, yeah?

Yeah, I remember talking about the Rag2 with you a bit a while back. I ended up returning it. Could have just been gear synergy, but didn't like it's sound signature whatsoever. Yeah, that's kinda what I've gathered from reading. I'm not worried about power/pre-amp for speakers, just getting...

Ah, sorry, when I wrote "M9's" I meant the Master 9P N/S. Was at work and didn't think about the confusing wording. Lol Yeah, absolutely. Everything I've read leaves me no doubt that the HE-9 LE/MK3 or R-27HE would provide me with I want. And I doubt there's very many people other than Kingwa...

Doing the calculations, it seems like the HE-9 LE/MK3 are also just barely within the recommended spec for Tungsten's. Given that the HE-9's are regarded as the step up from the M9's, I'm wondering if having that additional power/voltage/current would be more beneficial versus the higher model...

The reason I'm asking about the Master 9P is because I was cross shopping it with the dual mono stack from Flux Labs (M-Field specifically). I need a fair bit of power and voltage for the Tungsten's, and the 9P seems like the only headamp Kingwa provides that meets the requirements. Since I was...

While I've never heard the A1 or LIM, when I had my MIB, it took a solid 100 hours or more of continuous playback for it to sound the way it should. It should not sound muddy. From what I understand, it's also best to always leave the Yggy on, as it can take a long time to sound it's best after...

There's also an A2 OG in black w/ unison on Head-Fi for $1475, posted earlier today. @Slackaveli I think it might be the unit I tried to buy for $1200 and is getting flipped, but without photos I can't tell. Lmao

No, pretty sure I just misinterpreted the news posting for a new update, when it was just an updated firmware guide on their site.

Should be this: https://www.vinshine.audio/post/fpga-firmware-update-windows-os Looks like it's just a guide, after reading it again.

I chose this route because I want a more "tubey" sound, as I strongly prefer it, and have found the Tungsten's sound amazing with tubes. 300B amps are way out of budget, and while the HA-3A more than adequately drive the Tungsten's, the class A nuclear power of the Mentor/M-Field has me too...

Aye, there's a few in silver going for $1450-1650 right now. Only jumped on it because I'd never seen it that low. I'm really just holding out until the M-Field releases before making a decision, maybe a while longer, just so I can get use to their signature before deciding what to pair it with...
