    Arcam rHead Class-A Analogue Headphone Amplifier

    My unit too has a uniform resistance throughout the range of motion, without any bump. If I represent it in a graph, it might look like a step curve. There is a threshold of force for it to move, but then the force is fixed once it starts moving. It is a pity that they discontinued this. I...

    Topping A30 Headphone Amplifier

    I haven't heard the D50. Listened to the D30 at a friends. It was OK by itself. Didn't like the looks of it. For me, D50 looks a lot better. Also, the fact that it has its own volume control, can be driven from even a power bank, and its size and looks works in its favour. It stacks well and...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    I got my 4xx in good shape. No manufacturing defect or shipping damage. No rattling drivers or any such issues. The base has impact but really clean and fast. I am loving it. The highs have energy, but not harsh at all. I will not peg it as a warm headphones. It does have issues if the...

    Schiit Yggdrasil V2 upgrade Technical Measurements

    Guess it was not trolling. Also, I should say in advance that I was under the assumption that this Yggdrasil was a tube amp. Now, by high temperature, I meant 60° to 80° C or so depending on commercial or industrial grade equipment. I should also make it clear that industrial testing means...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    Lucky you. I had to pay nearly 50% extra as duty because of the stupistup of our customs department. I was expecting 30% or less, which is the actual rate, but they decided to screw me for the fun of it?

    Schiit Yggdrasil V2 upgrade Technical Measurements

    You do know that industrial testing often takes units to temperatures higher than this, right. Or, as someone said, is this some kind of trolling?

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    This is the weight and dimensions of the shipping carton. The original MD x Hifiman product box is smaller in lenght and width. Height is the almost the same. Freight forwarding companies use this dimension for their calculations. If you are planning for repackaging, I could provide the...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    Hi, I just received the package. Nearly a month after dispatch (26 days?). The outer brown carton was crumpled at the corners, but inner headphone box was in pristine condition. The cans also came in perfect condition, ie. no loose/detached cans or driver noise/rattling/disconnection. I don't...

    Arcam rHead Class-A Analogue Headphone Amplifier

    One was from the second review on head-fi review page. The first review mentions it, but second one makes it sound problematic. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/arcam-rhead-discrete-true-linear-class-a-analogue-headphone-amplifier.21589/reviews The french review, I found during some random...

    Arcam rHead Class-A Analogue Headphone Amplifier

    I read it first on head-fi reviews. Then in another review, a French one. It may have been a mashup of head-fi and innerfidelity reviews. Though I hear the word smooth in many reviews, these reviews used the word smothed-over. Also atleast 3 reviews mentioned lower details. I wasn't sure if that...

    Arcam rHead Class-A Analogue Headphone Amplifier

    I keep hearing of the lower sound stage and and that details are smothed-over. Is that compared to amps of $250, $600 or higher. How do they compare to other sub $250 amps?
