New from Garage1217, the solid-state Project Polaris!
Just opened my brand spankin' new Polaris. It is a beautiful amp with the blue LED in acrylic. Listening to it ATM and it sounds good. Cannot wait until this puppy fully breaks in :)- camui78

All set now... just purchased the Modi 2 Uber to go with my Project Polaris and HD600. Will be a definite improvement over my ATH-AD700 + O2 amp- camui78

I saw a photo on Google with the acrylic Polaris (blue LED) and was running a PeachTree DAC-iT with the HD600. Looked very nice together. I've read the PeachTree is a better DAC than the BiFrost so I will probably go this route. First purchase will be the Polaris in the next few days.- camui78

bjamn, can you please post a picture of your setup with the Polaris + M2U. If I go this route, I would stack the two together to take up less space on my desk.- camui78

New from Garage1217, the solid-state Project Polaris!
I am also listening to FLAC files through Audirvana and not sure yet which amp I want to go with ATM. The Polaris is nice since it is Solid State, around $300 with the aluminum backing (+ shipping) and no need to purchase tubes. I am also looking at the Ember which adds about another $150+...- camui78

I am about to purchase either the Polaris or Solstice and was wondering what most people choose for the covering... aluminum or acrylic? I like the looks of the acrylic since you can see all the parts inside of the amp but pictures online makes it hard to see the adjustment settings compared to...- camui78

Garage1217 Project Solstice
I am about to get my Sennheiser HD600 and looking to upgrade my O2 amp to possibly the Solstice or maybe the Ember. I see the HD650 pairs well with this amp, but how about the HD600? I will have to ask Jeremy what tube will be the best for what I'm looking for.- camui78

Three New Amps on Preorder from Audio-GD (C-2 11th Anniversary Edition, NFB-1AMP, NFB-3AMP)
I just purchased a HD600 that included a balanced cable and was wondering if I should go with the C2 or NFB1Amp. I don't have a DAC and use my iMac as the source. Not sure if going balanced is the way to go without have a DAC ATM.- camui78

Grado Fan Club!
Thanks again kayandjohn. From what you are saying, appears the G Cush are not a good match with less bass and more treble. I wish I could afford the GH-1, but for HPs, they are out of reach.- camui78

kayandjohn or stacker, is this true... G-cush on RS2e will not work. It's the leanest (bass) and brightest (treble) of the "e" series. I know they aren't the perfect combo like the GH-1, but according to Sling, they ARE NOT meant to be paired.- camui78
