Metrum Pavane
As the owner of Adagio told that the difference comparing to Pavane is notable but subtle. The big advantage is incredible preamp built in. Comparing the preamp with Manley Shrimp he dicides to put Adagio into his tube monos directly. He is absolutely happy with Adagio. Now my experience with...- Gibalok

April Music Eximus DP-1
satisfied me at once. But moderately priced amp like Burson Soloist + Eximus DP-1 is even better dont even try to deal with Denon 7100 - it sounds cheap.- Gibalok

New headphone amplifier from Bryston
James, being a happy user of Bryston/Torus/PMC your statement is obvious for me :) My question is just to justify whether MPS2 brings the sound of BP26 to the next level comparing to what if you try to put it in one box. The only concern is that I only use 1 output out of 4.. And I dont...- Gibalok

Metrum Acoustics Musette NOS R-2R DAC (2015) Discussion thread
Musette is very strong competitor to other more pricey dacs (Eximus DP-1). The difference among them is in details. Musette is very soft, musicall but slightly laid back comparing to Eximus DP-1. But given the 3x smaller retail Musette is a value for money and a stole. If you are not averse to...- Gibalok

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
5% in my experience or even no difference. Some time ago i made a mistake and ordered silver cable to HD650 with the price relatively the same as Hd650 itself. It was 5% of overall sound enhancement. Better to ivnest to uiltimate amlifier. With the cable you will not change to sound signature...- Gibalok

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
IMO not need to recable TH900. They are wonderful out of the box. Better to grab good amp designed for low impedance cans. Im enjoing it from Burson Soloist. Pretty energetic, clean, soft, good oompf and deep bass, no annoying sparkle highs- Gibalok

Gents, What is your best am with he-560? I sold gustard h10 and got burson soloist which is perfect with fostex th900 but terrible with 560. He560 out of eximus dp-1 is somewhere close to where it was with h10 but not as good. Now im trading off between selling he560 to get lcd2 or get...- Gibalok
