Just wanted to chime in, I love my Glenn 300b with some Omega speakers and Subs. Love it. I’m in a small room 12’x14’ and have them nearfieldish. Placing the subs was tough. I connect my subs direct to preamp, and have my glenn 300b connected to the speakers. I have the Glenn pot fixed and...- Mfalcon

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
One thing I’m trying to understand about this dap is related to the ability to bring in APK from outside sources. The description makes this seem possible but I understand this was typically not allowed with A&K devices. Can this be done?- Mfalcon

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
Hi, im strongly considering this Dap but have some questions. Has anyone been able to sideload Roon? Has anyone had good luck powering some HD800s’? The power specs make it hard to determine if they will power them well. These headphones are tricky To power. I also use iems but curious...- Mfalcon

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
Yes, although I’ve never used the TA-zh1es so I couldn’t say for certain but it’s specs are good enough and I’ve read plenty of others says it would.. the specs are up to par and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the amp.- Mfalcon

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
I will second what some are saying here. I have a 1Z, Z1R and HD800S. The z1r are driven effortlessly but the 1Z. The HD800S need more juice and are very different sounding from a higher powered desktop vs the 1Z. I use a 300b amp and the sim audio moon neo 430a. I think you need atleast 2w...- Mfalcon

Do any of y’all plug your Glenn Amp into some sort of power device to protect it from a surge? I tend not to because I didn’t like the way itsounded when I tried it years ago with a different amp but I was thinking about it earlier when someone was telling me about a surge they had a while...- Mfalcon

I would have liked to use a 4 pin XLR but i was trying to use my other amp sometimes. i love this amp though. Because I’m using a preamp to feed it I’m not missing the second input but it would be nice.- Mfalcon

I've had my first long speaker listening session with my new Glenn 300b. I listened to Mary Halvorson's Away With You all the way through. It is probably the album that has come out in the past few years that I've really worn out and am very familiar with it. I was really blown away. The...- Mfalcon

Yep, sorry about that. I've had a long week with house guests and a family friend passed (he had bad cancer without any hope for about a year so it was a mercy but still tough) I know I'd love the LCD-4s. I have a local dealer in town and he has a pair I believe. I just know that I'd like...- Mfalcon

Howdy All, I wanted to tell everyone how happy I am with my new Glenn 300b. I received it last Friday. I got it hooked up that night but this past weekend and early week we have had house guests so I've not been able to use it as much as I'd like. My version is a "permanent hexfred" or what...- Mfalcon

These LS50s are some of the best speakers I’ve heard less than 1k$ and frankly as good as most small speakers at any price but I don’t think they would work with SETs. They probably need more than 20 watts at least. Fantastic speakers for there size no doubt though.- Mfalcon

I received a Pair of CIEM Katanas and a Pair of CIEM Dulce Bass' and wanted to share some impressions. I placed the order around 3-4 months ago. I've had two pairs of IEMs before but never customs. One pair were Noble Savants which I liked the sound of but never felt comfortable wearing...- Mfalcon

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
After 300-400 hours I'm finally starting to play with the phase linearizer and some of the other non-Direct features. First I may just like most music with the phase linearizer on which was surprising to me. I haven't settled on which one I prefer. Is anyone finding that they prefer it? I've...- Mfalcon

I'm getting close to a pair of Ciem KEs. Does Noble frequently have sales? If they have them quarterly or so I may wait for a bit to catch the discount.- Mfalcon

Variable Out so I have volume control. My amp doesn't have one. If your amp has a volume control I don't know, but I wouldn't call it an amp. I would call it an integrated.- Mfalcon

Moon Nēo 430HA Reference Headphone Amplifier
I'm confused but yes you can connect Yggy > Moon (preamp out) > Amplifier This is similar to my setup. So if I want to use headphones I plug them in, if I want to use my speakers I turn on and warm up the amp.- Mfalcon

I tried to say this earlier but was less eloquent and overly wordy. Let's Say there is a 10% failure chances over first 3 years. And failure means it's a brick, not useable fixable. That means if you get a 1Z for 2200, the warranty has an expected value of $220. I don't think it it will be a...- Mfalcon
