    OPPO PM-2 Is Available - Post Your Impressions Here

    Yup. I contacted them as well to see if they still had the velour pads and those are gone as well.   Edit: Actually, they told me last week, no more but I see the replacement pads on the site today.

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    The USB input on my Mojo seems to be dead after a very short period of ownership, but I was going to see if anyone can recommend troubleshooting ideas before I return the Mojo to Amazon. When I received the Mojo, the included Chord micro-USB did not work straight out of the box. However, my...

    Audio Zenith PMx2 Impressions page

    Can anybody in this thread comment on soundstage of PMx2 versus the following: Audeze LCD series; Ether open (original); Senn HD 6x0.  While they are all different, to me, those headphones have comparable soundstage (at least in terms of width), sounding reasonably open but not as wide as any of...

    New York Audio Show.

    I will be there. Just not sure which day(s) yet.

    Don't miss the special event at Stereo Exchange in NYC Wed June 22

    It is the owner's wife and she is a real problem (for the store that is). The owner, Dave is actually a very nice guy as are many of the salespeople. I was at the event and other than needing to avoid her, th event was quite good. I am somewhat sympathetic to a high-end store trying to weed out...

    New Loaner Program - Moon Neo 230 Headphone amp and DAC

    I received the loaner last week and am finishing up my time with it. I will definitely write up my impressions (I don't think I am necessarily qualified to write a formal review) when I am done. So far though, my impressions are very positive and I find that the 230 HAD drives all of my...

    New Loaner Program - Moon Neo 230 Headphone amp and DAC

      Yes, I have seen those and they are very useful. Still, the number of impressions and formal reviews of this product pale in comparison to say anything by Schiit or Cavalli or any other number of dedicated headphone amp makers.

    New Loaner Program - Moon Neo 230 Headphone amp and DAC

    Wow, I don't know how I didn't see this until now. I have a Google search alert on this unit and check every day practically to see if any new reviews are out as this is extremely high on my purchase consideration list. I had seen this thread periodically to see if any impressions were being...

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    I like and own the Q701 but I think the K7xx is going to be the better overall choice for most people. The Q701 is kind of bright plain and simple and can be problematic on certain tracks. The K7xx is much easier to listen to. I like and own both but can make an unqualified recommendation on the...

    OPPO PM-2 Is Available - Post Your Impressions Here

    I was that friend. I will have more thoughts later when it is not so late, but I agree with Maxx's post. Just getting the velour pad with pad mod gets you about 50% there and is totally reversible. But Maxx's full mod is critical to getting rid of that slight bit of roughness to the upper...

    Any place in NY to audition high end headphones?

    I would pass on B&H and Adorama. While they sell some high-end cans, I am not sure you can meaningfully audition any there. Both have some racks with cans plugged in. Nothing high end at Adorama although perhaps they will take out a Senn or Audeze for you, although in any event they will not...

    Moon Audio 230HAD headphone amp / dac .... Anyone heard one?

    I assume you are just comparing the DAC of the Moon with the Meier and using the Moon as an amp for the comparison. Hopefully the moon as amp outperforms the Musical Fidelity given the sizable price difference.

    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    Will be interested to hear the announcement. A couple of things that come to mind though are extending the warranty beyond one year and also making the warranty transferable if the unit is sold to someone else, with the extended warranty being most important for us original buyers.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    After a seemingly endless cross-country journey from West to East Coast, the Eagle has finally landed.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    My LC is finally en route as of last night. Hopefully it will arrive by the time I get back from vacation. Happy holidays all.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    The issue is that for some of us, we don't think the amps have been delivered to FedEx. I think it says label created because, in fact, a label was created but nothing more. I could call FedEx but I suspect they will just tell me label created but item not yet delivered to them. FedEx can have...

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    I have been in touch with Cavalli about this and all the amps were to have been picked up on Monday, but FedEx tracking  is not reflecting this. Cavalli says they are trying to figure out what happened to the final amps and hope to have an answer today.  The delay is unfortunate but I am sure it...

    Hifiman Edition X

    I have to say I agree that the HE-X sound pretty darn good out of just a portable or phone and I have demoed them several times that way. Not the most technically proficient perhaps, but they are a very enjoyable can and you can get a lot of (most) that enjoyment out of relatively...

    Moon Audio 230HAD headphone amp / dac .... Anyone heard one?

    Thanks for posting the follow-up review. Your whole series was nicely done and very informative. I am regretting a bit having picked up the Cavalli LC instead of the Moon unit (and I still need to get a DAC). Well, if I am not satisfied with the LC I think I know what my next purchase will be.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    Looks like I am expecting delivery on Dec. 23. But I will be leaving town on Dec. 24. So I guess I will receive just in time to set up for burn in purposes and amp should be burned in by time I get back. Won't get to listen though until following week.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    Hope it gets there by Momday for you. I am a bit bummed. I got an email notice a week or so ago that mine was supposed to ship by 12/18. I emailed Cavalli earlier today and they said latest from fulfillment was still that remaining amps would ship by end of this week (beinfg Friday). Anyway I...
