FrankHiNRG is a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended head-fier.

As I am selling my HE6se (https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/hifiman-he6-he6se-adorama-edition.64817/) I no longer need the Hifiman HE adapter to connect them to my power Amp speaker taps. I have the original box and will double-box for shipping. My asking price includes PayPal fees and...

I bought these HE6se new from Adorama in February 2022 to hear how the original high-end ortho would sound off the speaker taps of a Benchmark AHB2. The answer is exciting, impactful, and finely resolving (and not fatiguing at all!). Having moved to a bigger place, I have room for a nice speaker...

Hi, I am offering for sale my Hegel H160 Integrated Amplifier/DAC/Streamer. Stereophile has an excellent review of this great integrated from Norway. I rate it in 8/10 conditions for a small smudge on the top cover that may come off with a bit of elbow grease. For a close-up picture of the...

A quick and smooth transaction. It was a pleasure dealing with whitefang. As a bonus, we had a tremendous f2f conversation about cables and cabling, of which Eric is an expert. Thanks again for the coffee! :xf_cool:

I am selling these beauties (the pictures I took with my phone don't do them justice). I bought the Elear from Echo Audio in July 2018 to use as my office phones. Needless to say, they have seen very little use over the last two years. Excellent conditions (8/10). Sonically like new. No nicks...

Great buyer, paid promptly, smooth transaction. Thanks!

Having just upgraded to a HANA ML cartridge, I am putting my two-year-old HANA SL moving coil cartridge up for sale at a very competitive (and therefore firm) price. The Shibata stylus has less than 300 hours on it, and the cartridge looks and sounds like new. For $425, I will ship the HANA SL...

You may have already come across the BPO European Concert of 2020, freely available at https://www.berliner-philharmoniker.de/en/titelgeschichten/20192020/european-concert-2020/ A chamber ensemble of a dozen or so BPO players well-spaced on the Philarmonie stage performs three well-known...

That's doable if you have a DVD reader attached to your computer, and if you are willing to install certain applications that you can find how with some googling. You'd miss Villazon acting though: he's quite the comedian!

This one is fun https://www.amazon.com/Donizetti-LElisir-Netrebko-Villazon-Staatsoper/dp/B000F3T3CS both well sung and well-produced (in an appropriately silly setting). You can sample it on youtube The DVD has a better sound quality of course.

Coming back to this thread after a while to share a great COVID-19 freebie: Bach's "Christ Lag in Todesbanden", BWV 4 performed live by the Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra so sweet and moving, perfect for the moment. There is a lot more in the Monteverdis youtube channel in excellent sound (and...

my apologies for having confused you :-)   Let's make sure we are using the word "transparent" in the same way. What I mean by transparent is "not there", "easy to forget about". I agree with those saying that the Elear and the HD600 have a very similar timbre on the warm side of neutral. I...

I am not sure that "realness", and "clean" are the most prominent attributes of the Utopia. To my ears it lacks ultimate transparency. I must have listened to the Utopia for over one hour on Saturday. Still, every time I switched back to the Utopia I would be impressed - but  distracted - by its...
