    Grado HP1000: just a musical instrument !!!

    What ? Yes, my impression is that this Grado HP1000 (I have found a NOS pair), is simply a musical instrument like no any other cans I remember, even considered the king R10 or my K1000. This baby is so musical and no technical that I' can't imagine something like this. No any other Grados...

    Denon AH D5000: first impression

    I like this can A LOT, sure much better than the JVC DX1000 (considering these two closed headphones side by side). I like the quality of building and I find the D5000 one of the most RELAXED sound and fit perfectly in my head. So relax for the sound and for the position on the head. With...

    K1000/Air Tight... nothing can touch, but ...

    Nothing can touchyes !!! I never had a lot of cans and amps like this time… I always had just one headphones but this time I used many cans and amps to do a relaxed and long comparison… I spent a lot of time for this. I think that after all the setups I had in my life, the K1000/Air Tight is...

    K1000 + Air Tight ATM-300

    Just two words... I cant' believe that 8w + 8w 300B can do a better work than a 150w + 150w of a fantastic hybrid BAT (in a fully balanced setup). Keep in touch, K1000's lovers !

    K1000 new drivers in the last units...

    "AKG used for many years a driver in the K1000's (I don't know the name of it). But in the last units they produced, they put in a special, upgraded driver, called the 101". This is what a person of AKG told me... do you knew this? Best! Nicola

    If you enter in the beautiful web page of STONEAUDIO, you think … oh… this is a very professional online shop: NOTHING ! They only have a good appearance! I do not recommend anyone to buy something by STONEAUDIO. Why? 1)They generally do not have many things in stock, you must wait a very...

    The fantastic AVVT 300B c37

    This is the last 300B I have tested on my setup... yes, the last because I don't think I'd can find any 300B better. This tube beats all the others 300B I have, unfortunately very rare to find another NOS pair like this, but this tube has a 40.000 hs life time !!!

    Zu Mobius vs Equinox (HD650/Cary)

    These two cables has been tested with HD650/Cary CAD SEI. I just write few words, because I do not have a lot of time… The two cables are 8ft. These cables are different and I don’t think one better than the other. The Equinox has better construction, the Zu do not fit properly on the pads...

    The incredible JJ Tesla 300B

    Yes, I'm very surprised how the cheapest tube is the best performance (at the moment) on my setup. The JJ Tesla 300B on the Cary/HD650/Equinox is simply incredible, all the other 300B tested at this moment are colored and muffled... Next comparison will be with AVVT C37 and Full Music solid.

    Sophia Princess vs WE 300B

    After a very long test with these two kind of 300B on my Cary CAD SEI, I must admit that the Princess are better matched with the sound of the setup (HD650/Equinox). In comparison the WE give a too soft sound especially in the med-bass and bass, the highest are also a bit rolled off, the med...

    GS1000 sn 112 (arrived today)

    I don't think I'll have the patience to wait for a full burnin time... I find this a 701 sister... similar "school" even if american production, very impressive at the first listening... but, but, but... ...not for highest headphones listener (IMHO). (Tested with Cary)
