Oh I see you got your v4 Stratus, congrats. I was listening to o2 yesterday on my v3 with the meitner ma3 and yeah it's really good. Still need to test Ada out on it though. I had no desire to listen to anything else when I had the o2 on yesterday. The bass was incredibly well controlled, the...

I've had the Ada for about a month now and they are great. Was able to bring them to Canjam NYC and let a few people hear them too which was fun. For me they are not as warm or rich as the o2 but still have a great tonality. I find the stage to be a bit wider and the low end less powerful...

Oops, just realize there's an Ada thread haha. Will delete the previous post and move it over there https://www.head-fi.org/threads/eta-ada-grados-competitor.971750/post-18075498

I know :laughing: . This is just for fun, I was surprised they fit on that bottom shelf there. Also hoping that shelf can support the 110lb or so of amp. Usually I run them each on their own shelf but no room for that here.

Got a Yggy GS2 on loan from a friend which I've been really impressed with for the price. It sounds a little lean vs the dacs that I'm more used to, both the Bricasti MC1 and the Meitner MA3, but it has a great sense of depth and layering. It also has pretty decent texture especially in the low...

Had a great time this weekend so here are some pictures and quick summaries of what I heard. Also some images of my favorite meals from the trip. Arrived in NYC on Friday and had some excellent food at Mitr Thai for lunch and 212 Steakhouse for dinner: Started off Saturday with a subway...

Sure I can list a few things I liked. I should really post a more thorough post in the canjam impressions thread, I haven't done that in the past. Stax SR-007 mk2, really enjoyed this was great on the Stax SRM-400S and on the Viva STX too. One of my favorite headphones for vocals at the moment...

I have yeah. Most of the comparison was done in the low nexus gain mode. Passive on Kara sounds the same as just feeding your dac to the amp without a preamp in between. I prefer the Serene. It stages larger and has more detail. Serene also has more separation and texture in the bass. However...

Probably. Wasn’t using it in a technical sense. Just to say that I can get the headphones much louder on the Tyrs.

Sounds pretty good actually. The SIT-3 is a pretty warm amp so sometimes it can be too warm based on the preamp, dac, and cabling but at the meet, from memory, the sound was pretty balanced. I've run Tungsten on SIT-3 at home but with the Serene KTE preamp and sometimes I run out of volume. But...

My previous amplifier for estats was the Schiit Tyrs with the Woo Wee along with the Holo Serene preamplifier. Just did a quick comparison to the T2. I haven't rolled the stock 6922 tubes but am running NOS Mazda EL34s from the early 60s. I did this test with both X9000 and 009S. I think I...

Any comments on how the Decware OTL compares to the Aegis? Or should I just wait for Canjam NYC to find out

Thanks, it's a stabilized Atrium from about a year and a half ago I believe. Was nicknamed "Paradox" in the ZMF Stabilized drop

I've been called out :grimacing: . Think I mentioned this on SBAF at one point but found out that it worked from @ethr with their CA-1A. It's how I like to run my SR-1b: I have a matching speaker amp to headphone adapter, it's just not setup in this picture. But there's no noise floor and the...

not yet, no

This is with natural light and the finish is an exact match :sweat_smile: . It's wild how much it changes in the light.

Thanks, yes that's correct. JJ gold pin and el34 red base from TAD

Yeah I noticed that. I think they do match it's just a very reflective finish along with uneven lighting in the room so they do look they are each a different shade.

My T2 arrived yesterday and have been enjoying it with the X9000. This is #21 and in the silver anodized finish, the same finish I saw at CanJam NYC 2023 when I decided to order it. It was a long wait, about 11 months, but well worth it. Excited to try other e-stats with it and do some tube...

Ordered one as well, looking forward to it.

I'll be there, looking forward to it!

Yes. I just looked for the one on the bottom in the Atrium closed listings and I don't see it either. It is close to "Timbre" but not the same one.

I like these, reminds me of how elements are named. Would be cool to have a "periodic table of ZMFs" with the abbreviation, full name, and picture of the grill / cup too.

That's awesome, looking forward to it
