Lol don't just go killing off people Koiloco.

  Exciting weekend ahead of you! Enjoy 

> More so than the HE-500?

  Seems with a good seal the bass smoothes out flatter along with very slight increase in treble energy around the 8-9khz region. But what could be the reason for -5dB decrease in FR Mag with a good seal between the 5-6kHz mark? Is something being cancelled out?

@jerg Are you still sticking to the angled jergpads. Any negative remarks on the angled mod now that you've had them for a short while? Those photos seem to suggest you also removed the vents as well?     Cheers nk88 (modded 2014 version)

The plot thickens....

Ahhh I see. I saw an ad for someone chasing a transformer (not sure of brand) specifically for an F6 and wondered why there weren't as many F6s out in the wild by now. Cheers Brunk.

An amp which I followed a year or so back was the First Watt F6 JFET (I believe) amp - any of you FW aficionados know or have had experience with this particular amp. I stopped following the F6 DIYaudio thread a long time ago though, but all this recent talk regarding Nelson Pass' work kinda got...

An interesting write up on the LCD-XC here by Srajan (6moons) on Darko's DAR site: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2014/01/audeze-lcd-xc-headphones-review/

A fantastic philosophy Silent One. 

Looks like this thread is gonna be busy in the coming year...Nice

@Modulor: Love your work mate.

  ODAC is always seems to be labelled as great bang for buck. Will need to get it one of these days. Otherwise this post is merely to confuse you with even more options/suggestions. None of which I have had the pleasure of listening to but perhaps you might consider if you are now looking at...

^Fantastic!

  With regards to the Jergpads - do you mean the pads with holes pre-cut and whatnot...     Never heard of him. 

  Just to add to this comment for anyone else reading that output impedance does not affect planar magnetic driver frequency response if folks are trying to decide on amps for their orthos. Therefore low or high output impedance amps should do well with either low or high impedance planar...

Indeed.

Do I smell a comparison between the upcoming Tralucent DAC/AMP and the upcoming UHA760...? It will be an interesting new year. 

Oh no no. By luck I meant your attempt to use this as a startup to take over the world. Good Luck! On a serious note, I thought this was an unfinished mod without reading the whole post.

Always interested in such mods. Good luck Jerg.

  Thumbs up I guess. It is a very nice amp for the price!     Perhaps a new thread can be started for this at a later date. I see a few guys have tested it on the Tralucent 1Plus2 thread.

So anyone got a chance to hear the new AMP/DAC Tralucent combo yet? Keen to hear more on this...

  Only if he lives in the US. I think Canada possibly might get away with cheaper shipping but rest of the world will have to include shipping costs. Add $100 to that total and that would be something prospective overseas consumers should be considering. 

You don't have the HE-500 to test with as well by any chance?

  Was the gain reduced in the 'v2' model you mentioned or was it just the battery?
