If you get a chance, I'm curious if the balanced amp is intended to offer higher sound quality for all phones, or simply more power for the HE6/K1000 crowd?

Does anyone know about the flagship head amp? Is it a real product in development or just a silly rumor?

Does anyone know about this? I backed the balanced IEM and SS HPA, but can I use them together? Would be really lame if I couldnt.

I'm still interested in the Audience Ones despite having the KEF's. They are intended for slightly different things though. I think the Ones are designed for near field and have lower power handling. The KEF's can easily be used for medium and far field listening in bigger spaces. The KEF's seem...

Picked up a pair of these KEF's while I wait for a more expensive speaker to be made.  First day I was ready to send them back.  The first 15 hours they sounded thin, bright, and lacked dynamic contrast.   Well after tweaking the setup a bit (still only 20 hours on them), they are starting to...

Interested in this Oppo phone, but already have the Audeze LCD-2.2 so I'm not sure if its really worth the expense.   Do they use the same cable connectors?  Will an aftermarket Audeze cable work with these?

Justin, Any plans for the custom tip group buy once units are shipping on a regular basis?

Bummer! Was any reason given for the delay? I think a custom tip group buy is a great idea though. I want!

Does anyone know if the new SR-002/SR-003mkii has the same type of tip attachment as the original? I would want the Starkey custom tips but they are made for the last gen so I want to make sure they would work fine on the new model too. Also, it would be interesting for experienced Stax users...

Looking forward to your impressions

Kunlun, any updates here?

Kenman, Have you received your AS-1's yet? I looked through most of this thread but didn't see any impressions. Thanks!

Why do you use two midrange and treble drivers? Is it done for higher SPL capabilities? You say C5 bass goes lower than C4, but LFF states C4 doesn't roll off until 10hz. Is he exaggerating? Why would you need to go any lower? I wonder how he can even tell its rolling off that low if those...

Quote:   Fair enough, we can forget about the Paradox in this thread.     Focusing on the C4 that you reviewed though, how do you know it is neutral?  Obviously that word gets misused a lot, and so it's always instructive to ask somebody what their reference is.
