    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    Based on research from this thread, I bought two pairs (single ended and balanced) of the NICEHCK C4-1 6N UPOCC Copper Silver Plated Cables for my Meze RAI Solos. The sound signature is exactly what I was looking for and I like the thicker wires that don’t tangle. The first cable started...

    Comment by 'mbritt' on listing '(Price Drop) Focal Clear Mint'

    These are still available. Listing is the same. I was just waiting out all the extreme low ballers trying to get me to drop well below Black Friday and end of year clearances and for prices to stabilize.

    Dragonfly 1.2 in very good condition with leather case - no cap. Great little Dac/Amp. Used it off and on over the years but mostly sat in desk drawer in a non-smoking household. Works great and looks good but it is several years old and I can't find the cap so I rated it as Good. USPS padded...

    Redacted - bought same set of wires I have only with 4.4 balanced to do a comparison.

    Schiit Two Channel Clubhouse

    Agreed. I don't usually listen any louder than that. It's actually good that it's spelled out in a measurable way in case someone complains. Otherwise it's just a noise complaint that you are being too loud which is up for interpretation.

    Schiit Two Channel Clubhouse

    Freya S system for stereo and TV in a small space I just downsized homes to a 950 sq ft condo with floor to ceiling glass walls, odd angles, concrete pillars and an HOA rule not to exceed 85 decibels. I asked advice from an audio engineer friend and his reply was "headphones" - Ha! I did a...

    iFi audio hip-dac 2: just the tonic for headphone fans

    This looks great, especially in the new orange color. My only concern is if the battery can be replaced once it starts to fail? I recently had to go back to an original Dragonfly because a high end portable dac/amp failed and couldn't be repaired. I would like my electronics to have some...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I found myself in a similar situation this year and bought a Cambridge Audio CXC2 transport to pair with my Bifrost 2 and it's the best I've ever heard CDs sound. The best part is that I got it for $349 refurbished from Cambridge audio ebay store.

    Audeze LCD-2C Classic - Impressions Thread

    Wait until you try a Sovtek 6922! Several posts mention that as a great pairing for the LCD 2Cs and they were right. I am amazed at my little stack with the ModiMulti and Sovtek tube. There's some magic going on there. Some people describe the modimulti as being "shouty" but maybe that's a...

    Audeze LCD-2C Classic - Impressions Thread

    I'm very curious if the new pads provide a notable upgrade in SQ. I find the previous pads comfortable on the LCD2Cs And am hesitant to change them out for the new ones.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    This is an interesting product. I have a RP3/DigiOne streamer (coax to ModiMulibit) and a RP4/Silent Angel streamer (USB to Bifrost 2). I think the value proposition people are missing who say "just get a PI" is that to build something similar would cost the same or more and have to be Kludged...

    Basic question on combining headphone and speaker listening

    Roon lets you run zones and it will handle volume control for the speaker system across the room. In that scenario you could even control wireless speakers like the KEFs which are Roon compatible for a streamlined system.

    Home CD player options?

    Late to this thread but I'll add my recent experience adding a Cambridge Audio CXC V2 transport to my system. First, I want to say that none of my music listening set ups are optimized for neutrality or analytical clarity. I would even say that they might not even be revealing (gasp) but they...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    The Eitr, or at least mine, was very sensitive to static and electrical surges from turning lights off/on. The static part presented itself whenever I got up out of my chair, which is on carpet, making the music stop playing. The same thing would happen if I turned a light or ceiling fan off...

    Loki Mini Impressions

    Ha! Good point. I was so enamored with the sound I was getting from turning the knobs I hadn't thought about whether turning all knobs to the same position might just be turning up the overall volume. I think this is one of the reasons people are so hesitant to try EQ and that presets are so...

    Loki Mini Impressions

    Probably wouldn't be easy to dial in more exacting settings with only four knobs. I think the Loki is better suited to listening and tweaking with immediate feedback. It's not a big deal for me because I'm only making adjustments for one set of headphones (LCD2C) and one set of IEMs (Meze Rai...

    Audeze LCD-2C Classic - Impressions Thread

    I just posted my experience using the Loki Mini + with the LCD2Cs compared to using software EQ in Roon. I think a lot of LCD2C users would enjoy tweaking the SQ with the Loki equalizer.

    Loki Mini Impressions

    I’m really enjoying the Loki Mini + after a few days of getting to know it. I like an analog, non-fatiguing sound that has impact even at lower volumes. I don’t like overly bright headphones or speakers. After over a decade in this hobby, I have found a good match in the Audeze LCD2Cs. They...

    The LCD2Cs respond really well to silver plated copper. I bought this one from C3 Audio (single ended) and am very happy with it.

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread

    How are you liking your LCD-2Cs with the Jot 2? I'm enjoying them with Asgard 3 but the Jot is tempting me. Not ready to re-cable yet so would probably use single ended since my other amp (Vali 2+) is also single ended.
