Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
I had Dennis build mine with both XLR and RCA inputs. When I use the XLR input and the 6BX7s there is no hum and I do mean no hum. I have spent a lot of time listen to the IHA-1 and comparing it to the EC Balancing Act and the DNA Stratus. I own all three. I prefer the IHA-1 to the Balancing...- Bellasperson

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-3
I switched to a DNA Stratus about 2 months ago (EML tubes). Very pleased with the way it matches up with the LCD-3F. Found it to be more detailed than the Eddie Current BA.- Bellasperson

OPPO PM-1 / PM-2 Loaner Program
Tried the PM-2s. Subsequently purchased a pair of PM-2s. Very happy with the results. I suppose the loaner program worked as it was intended.- Bellasperson

Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
It is an exceptional value. Using a single vendor would seem to be a limitation but Dennis does not seem to be motivated by volume sales.- Bellasperson

Beta testing the new Audeze Black-Box.
I am interested in participating in the beta test. I spend about 20 hours a week listening to the LCD3Fs. My listening metric would be comparison to my current set up. My signature describes my current system. I will shortly be receiving a DNA Stratus which would also be compared. ...- Bellasperson

What Cables for Audeze LCD-2?
I have 2 Q Cable French Silk. One for home, one for office. I have used them with LCD2s but I am currently listening to LCD3fs and Oppo PM2s. I have tried a half dozen other cables but found the French Silk to be the overall best combination. I am slowly changing over to French Silk connector... -

Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
Not sure on his motivation but he has balanced input and output on many of his Cary and Inspire designs. With the balanced output from the SLP 05 and the the volume of the SLP05 set at 75% I can set the volume of the IHA at about 40% when driving the Audeze LCD3f (6bx7 tubes). I have found this...- Bellasperson

Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
Purchased a GoldPoint XLR switch so I can better A/B the BA and IHA. One thing is clear. Dennis Had provides an unbelievable amount of sound quality per dollar. Not sure if has any sound impact that my IHA has xlr inputs as Dennis made it to play downstream of my SLP 05. I assume the...- Bellasperson

Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
The Balancing Act arrived this weekend. It is a very worthy amp. A very different take compared to the IHA. Which is better? neither, both . Both are excellent in different ways. The choice is a matter of taste. IHA is has a lighter, more open presentation. The BA is much more powerful and...- Bellasperson
