    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    Connect it to the pre-amp of the V281 and you have 4 SE outputs to rock with friends!

    Well, I think most complains come from pre-order units or first units that had problems while shipping due to temperature and that stuff like my unit. My problem was the volume knob loose itself but the solution was easy and fast by Violectric, no problem here afterwards.   But this unit is...

      Haha, you get used to those injuries after much soldering :P   I came across this cable in a local shop by pure chance. I was looking for local/internet dealers of Mogami or Canare cable but every single one I spoke with (and there were many) only sold it in 25 metres pack minimum (some...

      Wow! Thats some fine job right there!   The first time I did a litz braid was an adventure with so much cable, but the followings were easier!   Im very glad I inspired you :D

      Its all replaced yeah, from connector to the soldering of the driver itself. Opened cups and desolder to solder new cable!

    Just let you know guys this afternoon I balanced my Denon AH-D7000, I had to do it because the original cable was getting too anyoning so I got some good cable & connectors and here is the result:     First impresions with V281 of course: Bass is cleaner, mids and highs more neutral than SE...

    +1   I dont believe in cables either, my LCD-2 balanced cable is 66€, neutrik connectors and silver wiring, 1.5m. 14€ cheaper than Audeze's original one and because it uses silver, its very thin which is nice.   But as you say, let it be if someone believes in but doesnt make you to.

    Im not going personal or anything like that. Someone prefer A amp, others prefer B amp, thats legit.   Whats not legit is the perceptions this guy got from the V281, they dont meet anyones ones. You might like or not the the amp, but saying that it has hard trebble and it doesnt reach bottom...

    Those coments doesnt meet at all my perceptions.   Strident sounding? My god, you can plug your HD800s and turn all the volume way up to the sky and never get a tiny sibilande or harsh, thats so strange. In all the months ive been with my V281 never heard that "sibilance" thing, or strident...

    I love smooth trebles too (my main headphone is the LCD-2, I prefer it way over the HD800) and the V281 doesnt have (in either LCD, HD800, K701 or w/e) that tizzy treble or glare. The trebble couldnt be smoother! In fact, Burson Soloist had more harsh up there with the 800's.

      Amen to that.   If someone thinks V281 plus an Audeze headphone or the Senn HD800 (for example) is not top end gear, you sir do have a problem.   BTW, I dont like tubes, and Ive tried way expensive amps (McIntosh for example, some of them). And I cant get what they try:   True tube amps...

      V220/V281 SE is as warm as V200 uses to be, but balanced V281's output is more neutral, which I like very much for my LCD-2s. But that warmth doesnt "damage" the trebble, its there with all the resolution and extension.

    No difference in sound when trying various amps??!?!?!

    If the amplifier doesnt not add a signature firm of the house it comes, it doesnt change anything from the signal source, or its not supposed to do it.   If you try some high-end amplifiers which have a certain tonal firm like my Violectric V281 or the other V220 and V200 models, you'll find a...

    I you read pages ago, I was among the first ones all over the world to have the new Violectrics amplifiers, I'm pretty sure even before any american customer had one since I live in Europe and shipment is faster haha.   But I got one of the very first amplifiers which had problems with the...

      Of course Im speaking about open air equipment, or club equipment. The warm up phase usually takes a couple minutes, some models do have fans included for all the wattage. Also its recommended to not run the PA speakers on its full potential on the very first 15 minutes or so, after that...
