Metrum Acoustics Octave
I said it before, people often says it needs 30 days non stop to burn in but I really believe it needs at least 3 times more than that to settle. The improvements after the first 30 days should be very obvious and this harshness goes away and everything expands to a whole new level.- Sganzerla

He may be noticing more 'air' in the music. I use a Metrum Octave with my 339, no interest in upgrades in my system since them.- Sganzerla

Metrum Acoustics Octave
I think I have the same "problem" with my system, unless your is faulty. Maybe you are hearing your ears not matching 100% of the time because of the impressive soundstage your system may be offering. I think there are a lot of music with slightly off center channel too (for both sides of...- Sganzerla

Metrum Acoustics Octave
Stitch, I think its sound is very lifelike, clear, open, natural, real and dynamic. This was already my impression after at least one month non stop, but it improved further after more time. If you close your eyes you can have the feeling that you're listening to a real person, which is...- Sganzerla

I have the impression that it take a lot more burn in than people say. Only a month non stop is not enough in my opinion.- Sganzerla

Metrum Acoustics Octave
My transport is an Audio-GD DI with 2 audiophile USB cables, a USB Isolator, some upgrades in the hex inverter and TCXO, a battery with better DC copper cable and connected with a DIY power cable to my power line. It is oversampled to 192kHz. This transport may very well be the weakest link on...- Sganzerla

Metrum Acoustics Octave
Yes, the package looks simple but is very good. I'm running it non stop since the day it arrived (12 days ago ~300hours) , and the sound had some major changes, as every review says. Two words that could describe it right now are: 'airy' and 'clean'. Its character changed between these...- Sganzerla

Metrum Acoustics Octave
My Metrum Octave arrived!!! First impression is that it sounds almost exactly like my "old" NFB3, but with some improvements in detail, attack, air, bass and better placement of instruments. Timbre and everything else sounds very much alike. 15 minutes of listening... let's see how it...- Sganzerla

La Figaro 339
I don't know if I talked about it a while ago... a technician changed some parts of my amp to make it work better with my country electric power system. Sound was better on every single area. Then I don't know why the hell I had this idea of replacing my Porter Port outlet to the Maestro...- Sganzerla

Does anyone own the Wyred4sound DAC 2?
Hope this info is worth... I bought an Furutech GT2 a while ago and it "destroyed" my system,making everything brighter. After a while I replaced it with a DH Labs, a much better product in my opinion. But I'm using another DAC. By the way... have anyone compared this DAC to Audiolab M-DAC?- Sganzerla

Do you leave your amp's volume at their matched position when turning on and off? Or do you always turn them all the way down to turn off, and when turning on?- Sganzerla

OTL vs SET Amp for HD650
Take a look at La Figaro 339 because looks like this amp can drive almost anything. I can tell you that I'm still impressed by its sound quality, even after 6 months. I have a recabled DT880/600. Any upgrade I make in my system is easily heard with this amp.- Sganzerla

A New Binaural Vacation (recorded 06-05-2012) in true high density binaural sound....
Good work!!! Soundstage is impressive and "real" on my system, which is a very hard thing to do. I've been "playing" with binaural recording too, have a few videos on my YouTube channel. There is one a little more hardcore, riding on the street.- Sganzerla

La Figaro 339
I went to bed last night after posting here. Today I tried to change the power tube first and my (theoretically) NOS tube with a few hundred hours is dead. Now, with the same volume on both sides, is obvious taht the left channel is louder than the right one. The good thing (at least for...- Sganzerla

I may have a problem again, this time a big one. I heard a pop sound on my right channel, and after some seconds it sounded as it loose some of the bass. I decided to turn it off. After some minutes I turned on again to see if it wasn't my mind playing any tricks, and now there is no...- Sganzerla
