    Do audiophiles "like" music?

    Music appreciation in the context of high End  gear.    Why bother.    Simple, it is  personal, period.    For me.    One of the best ways I can think of to spend 4 min 39 seconds of my life.    One song. Narrow escape by Ray La Montagne from his  album Trouble.    This...

    The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread

    As a springbok dies its pronk opens and if you put your nose close to the skin you smell a fragrance you have never known and never will forget. As you crack open a kremetart and put a handful of the fruit in your mouth and suck, you taste a rare acid luxury.  As your heart beats in your...

    JVC HP-DX1000 Owners Unite!

     Initially this phone appeared dark and lacked sparkle. In balanced mode and rewired with pure silver wire this has changed . The top end shimmers without sibilance, if ever I have such a recording I try it with the DX1000 and the tizz is tuned out. I ran the risk of losing bottom end but...

    The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread

    The GSX MKII is my first Head Amp product. I use it every day. For the amount of pleasure it helps provide, this is a dirt cheap product. It is the least  expensive part in my component chain yet contributes more than any of the other parts costing at least double each . It drives all my phones...

    Bakoon HPA-21 : Will it achieve High End status ?

    This amp has been anticipated and mentioned on Head-Fi. It is being discussed in the High End Forum but not in a dedicated thread. It is novel in that it employs current drive and voltage drive outputs. It is dedicated to drive headphones only. It has no tubes.  It uses batteries. It...
