I have the 13R and volume automatically goes to 0 under 3 circumstances of headphone usage: 1) Remote control triggered standby 2) Plug in headphones to 1/4" Jack 3) Unplug headphones from 1/4" Jack

Setting the gain to high gain from low gain on the 13R or 23R only modifies the maximum decibel output, thus increasing the dB output per attenuator step. This is because the 'volume' knob is actually a gain control knob. Instead of adjusting volume for loudness, you're adjusting gain for...

I purchased the seller's Bakoon Amp-13R. Seller was fast to respond and the item arrived in pristine condition. I would certainly recommend doing business with this head-fi member!

Any impressions with the Enleum amp-23R -> Susvara pairing yet?

Looking for a Bakoon amp-13r with everything that comes in the retail packaging. Not a big fan of the Enleum look. Let me know if you have one and are willing to sell

Steven sold me his HiFiMan Susvara. He was very quick to reply to any message I sent and was a pleasure to do business with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or do business with him again in the future.

I purchased Jake's Liquid Platinum. The item arrived next day (ultra-fast shipping) with all items from the listing in perfect condition. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

Just finished my loan period a couple of weeks ago as the last one to borrow the Manley Absolute. I've got nothing but great things to say about this little amp. First, let's talk build quality. Despite looking delicate, it feels very solid and durable. The handles provide more than adequate...

I'm a big fan of the HD650 from the ZDS with the Mullard ECC35

A big head does not mean you are smarter, it just means that there is more empty space :beyersmile:

Finally getting around to commenting on impressions of equipment from the meet. I know I will be forgetting to comment on everything that I heard, but I may add on to these impressions later. Let's start with the Oppo PM-1 driven by the Gungnir MB Gen 5 USB and Mjolnir 2: I really enjoyed what...

Carolina CanFEST 7 was an absolute blast. I enjoyed seeing and catching up with old friends as well as meeting and making many new ones. Hats off to Danny for planning and securing such a perfect venue for us to geek out on this hobby. Much appreciation to Justin for sponsoring our meet...

It's a good idea but the execution is tough. Assuming the sources are computers, you could just log in to your Spotify (or other music streaming service) account and access your personal playlists, right? Or you could bring your own source around to each table and connect if the owner allows...

Tim's honesty is quite admirable. It shows that he values customer satisfaction and product reputation over the common marketing tactic that many other companies utilize.

ECP Black diamond or Eddie current black widow?

:k701smile:

I experience the exact same thing with the volume knob on my Stratus as well. Sounds like crackling or static when turning the knob. As CoLdAsSauLt mentioned, it lessens and then eventually fades away as the volume knob continues to rotate throughout the entire range of volumes.

Just rejoined the Auteur club after selling my Teak Auteur in the summer. I secured the Blackwood Auteur this time It sounds as great as the Teak Auteur sounded and possibly better but more similar than not. In my opinion, that is a good thing because it proves that Zach has a consistent...

I am a V1 owner with V2 pads. Wouldn't ever go back to the V1 pads if I had a choice. Better overall clarity and reduces the 'softness' that is often attributed to the HEK V1 as a negative thing. The V2 pads also fit my head better because they are thicker, thus creating more clamping...

Count me in

My findings exactly

Unless I am wearing them, my HEK have been on a woo audio stand for the past 2 years, and I don’t notice any degradation in sound. I’d say that leaving them on a stand is fine, and if you’re worried about dust build up, just pick them up and listen to them from time to time. That should shake...

Just received the L3 KTE version of this DAC yesterday. Coming from the NAD M51, this DAC sounds fantastic! I'm sure it will only improve with a few days of 'powered-on' time. It's my first experience with DSD, but with the KTE Spring, I'm now a believer that DSD can sound better than PCM...

Or Zach is deceptively strong :dt880smile: Auteur plugged into Low-Z headphone out?

I had problems with two pairs of HEKv1 from Adorama. Among other build quality issues, both pairs had issues with keeping the 2.5mm ends of the headphone cable plugged into the HEK. With a heavier cable like the Moon Audio Black Dragon V2, the problem was more persistent. I'm not sure if this...
