Purrin Do you mind sharing how the Geek offerings from LH Labs (whichever you have listened to) would rank in your list on page 1? Thanks.

Ok thanks. I was intially worried about the 'lack of power' as the balanced outputs of 4.5W peak at 120 ohms, higher than the 560's rated impedence.

I was also considering the Taurus for my 560. Are you driving them single ended or balanced. Thanks. 

Attaching Link:  http://lhlabs.com/downloads/updates/dianas_production_progress_chart.pdf   Can someone from LH Labs give details on the Pulse X. I noticed it has the least progress among all the 'Pulse Variations'. Larry mentioned a while back that Pulse X will not be getting any more updates...

Hey Purrin   Will you know how a Theta DS Pro Basic IIIa would stack up against the Theta Gen V-Va or the Sonic Frontiers There's an opportunity for me to grab a used one, and am wondering if I should pull the trigger.    .

  Thanks Bill, this is very useful. Is it just taking out the ear cups and then removing all the screws?   My phones are 3 weeks old and the right side has a slight fizz / buzz at certain frequencies. I've half a mind to send them back to China but not sure if they would replace it with a...

I just got my HE560 2 days ago, and while it's very clear and detailed, I'm not getting the 3D or holographic sound that quite few people have mentioned. The soundstage does seem wider, but not as deep or tall when compared to my Philips Fidelio X1. In fact the sound is very 2D and most of the...

Yes in Asia. I'm located in Singapore. :)

I received my HE560 this morning. Finally, for a while I was getting abit worried. 

Would be great if someone can share what I need to do to get a refund. Thanks.

Same situation as you, still no progress on the headphones. Have opened a ticket, person in customer service said he/she will check with Casey and get back to me. 

Sorry if the question had been asked before, didn't manage to go through all 134 pages. I currently have the ifi micro stack prior to the iDSD, so the iUSB power -> iDAC -> iTube -> iCan. How much more improvement would buying an iDSD Micro give me (mainly looking at SQ) other than...

I do live in Asia but the invoice was from LHL.

I received an invoice earlier this week to pay for international shipping. During the payment process, I indicated my shipping address.

It's great to hear that sets are being sent out. What about those who bought the geek pulse + HE560 combo. Is it possible to at least send out the headphones before Christmas

Frank I've sent you a few emails and PM over the last 6 days on the status of my cable. Can you reply to them when you get a chance.

I just saw this cable at a store near my office. Anyone tried it before, slightly more expensive than the mediabridge or monoprice ones.    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Griffin-Technology---Flat-Aux-Stereo-Audio-Cable/2182057.p?id=1218313331088&skuId=2182057

The consensus so far is: V Moda gives minimal improvement (I think it's impedance is still high at 1.3 ohms). Other better ones that have been suggested are Mogami cables or the Moon Audio Dragon series. I've personally ordered a Toxic cable but still waiting for it to arrive.

Quote: Not really, they're pretty much good to go once you get them.    I'm still waiting for my new cables to arrive, but from what I've read in this thread so far, the biggest improvement seem to come from changing the stock cable. Not burn in, not an expensive amp / dac, although...

To me a set-up could mean multiple headphones with multiple components. For example I currently have only 1 headphone, but 3 amps. I listen to a broad genre of music and different songs go better with different amps. None of my amps are superior to the other 2 for every song that I listen to...

Quote: Thanks much shigzeo. I have the Philips X1. Wanted to make sure the Vorz is not too similar to the O2 or the Porta before spending that money. Cheers. 

Hi Shigzeo   How would you compare the Duo with the Govibe Portatube, I know they both different but just wanted to find out what areas each is better in. My phones are 30 ohms and I currently have the Portatube and the O2. I find vocals on the portatube smoother than the O2 but soundstage...

Quote: The whole box wasn't sealed in plastic cover if that's what you're asking. But the sides were sealed with a transparent tape, while the top part where you can 'hang' the box at the shop looks very pristine, saying because in order to open the box, you have to fold that part down.  As...

Quote:   Bought a Fiio L2 to link the O2 to the ODAC couple days ago, and now the sound seemed to have improved, with respect to definition or instrument separation and dynamic range. I listened to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and can hear the pulling of the strings more clearly, or when...

Quote:   Yep I agree they're easy to drive and plugging it directly into my imac is good enough. Just that I had thought getting the O2 + ODAC would make it even better but not so.
