Funny to have stumbled on this thread as i was pondering just the same question. Was listening to some early Pearl Jam and Nirvana through my LCD2 headphones and something seemed missing. Put on my RS1i headphones and the raw guitars came alive. The sound may not have been as true, but the Grado...

Quote: I wanted to second this. I, too, was having issues pairing my CLAS -dB with some amps, such as my RSA Predator, but not with others, such as my ALO Rx Mk3-B either single ended or balanced. Returned my CLAS -dB to Cypher Labs and David Maudlin personally fixed it and sent it back the...

I personally love the combination of the CLAS -dB and the ALO Rx Mk3-B with my Audeze LCD-2's. Thought about going for the LCD-3's, but decided the extra $1000 wasn't worth it. I'm currently going all balanced using an ALO cable between the CLAS & Rx Mk3 and Moon Audio Silver Dragon balanced...

I had the same problem using the CLAS -dB with my RSA Predator which was worse using the medium & high gain settings. Have not had any similar problems with my ALO Rx Mk3-B which has worked flawlessly with the CLAS -dB on all gain settings. (I'm currently using balanced.)

Very excited to discover that a pair of iGrado headphones I had lying around managed to fit in my Smith Variant ski helmet. (I'm not a fan of skiing while listening to IEM's -- I actually do want to be able to hear my surroundings.) Certainly beats the standard OEM Skullcandy option. Now I can...

I do hear a background hiss using the ALO Rx Mk3-B with Shure 535 IEMs at low gain with no music playing. It doesn't seem bothersome unless I'm listening to a really quiet recording. Listening on either low or medium gain with my Audeze LCD-2's, I don't hear any background noise. I haven't heard...

I got the rosewood cups. I guess I'm just a sucker for hardwood (RS1i's with mahogany after all) and bamboo just reminds me of flooring (although it is sustainable).

I returned my unit with all the original accessories and received back the same unit (same S//N) with completely new innards per Cypher Labs. Also got brand new packaging and accessories.

Long time lurker on these forums (and unfortunately my wallet has suffered, but not my ears!), first time poster.   I purchased the new Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo -dB from Todd the Vinyl Junkie and wanted to provide some great feedback for both them, Cypher Labs, and most importantly, for...
