    Do we hear all alike or different ?

    If you are familiar with head-fi, chances are you have already come across those words many time: HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) or put in a different way, we all have different ears.   It seems like an indestructible axiom on those boards, and often used to explain two radically...

    HiFace, sensitive information

    I am myself a happy owner of a HiFace, bought back in february this year. I have nothing but the highest praise for this great little piece of gear.   However, recently and after easter, more and more users having just bought a HiFace raised some worries about its sonic performance, one of...

    Why no USB DAC with bal outputs under $500

    Well, it is in the title, and it strikes me... Except the new Dacmagic launched very recently, I can't think of any USB DAC in the $500/$600 range that offer balanced outputs. For people gone down the balanced route, this is very unfortunate, and for people considering going the balanced...

    unbal to bal: transformer vs opamp

    Hi all, First post in this section of the forum, so I am not sure if it is the best place to start with. Let me explain you my concern and you decide wether it should be moved to another section or not. I have a CDP delivering an unbalanced signal (through RCA connections). I love it and...

    Pre-order list for futur HD800 owners

    I though it could be a good idea to list the name of futur owners of HD800, ie people who have already placed a pre-order and are waiting for them. My name will most likely appear on that list within a few weeks. You could simply mention the distributor name from who you have been ordering...

    Sound, look and smell ?

    Hi everyone, Not sure I have seen ever such a thread around here and I thought it could be really fun to create one . Let me explain: when handling headphones, we usually give importance to factors like their physical appearance, their look and design, the build quality and also probably...

    Crackling on LDMKIII = dead tube ?

    Hi everyone, Before bothering David at Little Dot, I thought maybe I could get some help first to perform a preleminary diagnostic of my current problem. Problem is that I hear some very strong and short crackling when powering on my LDMKIII. It lasts very little and then disapears...

    Balancing my K501

    I have recently started my "balanced" journey with a pair of HD650 and a RudiStor amp NX-33, and I was trully impressed by the huge step forward in sound quality I have been able to experiment. Since I own at the same time a pair of K501, I was wondering if I could also try them balanced out...

    O2 experts: candidates for reviewing the Illusion

    Dear O2 experts I am currently getting rid of my electrostat rig made of a Stax SR-303 powered by a full size amp Manley Stingray through the Illusion transformer box, that probably most of you have already heard of. Though I very much like the sound of this combo, I know the bass are...

    Are headphone amps overpriced

    Dear Headfiers, I am currently in the process of looking for an amp for my cans, and I was somehow shoked by the large offer existing in this market. On the other side, can producers are just a few, and mostly major actor of the audio market (Sony, Denon, AKG, Sennheiser, Grado, Audio...

    Stax Pro biased, but which one ?

    Dear Stax lovers, I have read lots of interesting posts around here but couldn’t really find a clear answer to my question. I am currenlty owning a pair of SR-303. I am very pleased with its sound through my Illusion adapatator box, powered by a Manley Stingray. Still, and long before...

    Woo GES vs Illusion + Manley Stingray

    Dear Stax fellows, I have been now using happily for some time my SR-303 through an Illusion adaptator, hooked to my SS integrated amp Sphinx Project 10SE. Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase a Little Dot MKIII and used it out of my AKG501. I have been highly impressed by the...

    Stax SRD7 or Illusion ESC-1001 after an SRM-313

    Hi all, I am pretty new to the Stax world and sound... I have recenlty acquired the SR-303 "earspeakers" with their dedicated amp SRM-313. And, waouw, it sounds so rich and lean, transparent and detailed... For info, I am from Spain and unfortunately, I only know of 1 other person using...
