Referencesounds/LFF's modded HE-5 >Code-X< thread
http://i.imgur.com/HIBsB9H.jpg http://i.imgur.com/25yS4eF.jpg Here you go. Image attachment wasn't working for me. Code-X has some rug liner in front of the drivers. I meant Luis glues his headphones shut. This was necessary on Paradox/Slants since they are hermetically sealed as...- No_One411

Unfortunately, Luis seals his modified headphones so there is no simple way to show what the drivers look like. He does refinish the wood to minimize the chance of cracking.- No_One411

Just be careful with the Zana Deux or anything that uses the 6C33C. I've seen people get some pretty nasty burns from how ridiculously hot those tubes get. Definitely not a family or pet safe choice of tubes.- No_One411

GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier
Guys, while the amp does improve drastically over time with burn-in, you should still take some time to listen to it in between. It's a journey, one which you should enjoy. I wasn't really impressed with the amp until one day it kinda just "clicked". It's really hard to tell any...- No_One411

GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Beyer clone, so I can't speak for how well that pairing would work. It seems much better suited for regular dynamic headphones though. The Gustard is actually a bit on the warmer side of things. It doesn't overly romanticize songs, but it isn't...- No_One411

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Interesting... I have not actually plugged my K7xx into the the Gustard H10 yet...been mostly using it with the Schiit Vali. They are most certainly excellent headphones, and even more so when you consider their price point and value.- No_One411

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Hmmm, I use a Vali daily with my Slants, HE500, Code-X, HD800, etc... The Vali hasn't had much problem driving any of these headphones. I rarely push the volume past 12 o'clock, maybe 1 o'clock for some classical. The Magni 2 does have more power, but I find the Vali to impart a better...- No_One411

? And it certainly is a valid question with regards to the K340. It's just that you'd certainly expect it to be a worthwhile upgrade from the K340, what with the additional cost and modern update. I agree that it's main competitors will be coming from LCD-2, HD800, Ether, etc, but that...- No_One411

Well, the K340 comparison comes from the fact that they use similar technologies, dynamic driver + electrostat hybrid... Logically, people are itching to see if the tech has improved since then...- No_One411

So, the phase coherency is much better than the K340s, with some minor things they still need to tweak, mostly due to the crossover design. The reps received quite a bit of feedback from CanJam, and I'm hopeful that they'll be able to sift through all the feedback and adjust accordingly. ...- No_One411
