    Selling my pair of 8330A's as part of overall downsizing. I'm 2nd owner, used as surrounds in a nearfield setup. Stand plates included, as well as insured shipping to CONUS. No original box but all accessories. I'd probably do $1400 without stand plates as I can use them elsewhere. Pickup around...

    Dan Clark Audio EXPANSE Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions

    Without knowing output at 23 ohm, it's hard to say. Officially 500mW@23ohm is recommended, which m8 can probably do.

    Technics Premium Stereo Earphones EAH-TZ700

    Anyone willing to share EQ? I see there's been one measurement made available, but I'm not certain if I can use that to generate my own for Wavelet somehow

    Dan Clark Audio Stealth Review, Interview, Measurements

    I really wanted it to be true, but as ASR notes in their review, not enough power for proper sub-bass response. I can confirm, with the slightly more powerful NX7 I can hear issues on the new Hudson Mohawke album. Switched back to my Ampersand and all is well. Hopefully someday!

    Selling my Ampersand, one of the first shipped to customers and I believe warranty is valid until Jan. '23. Great unit, the ergonomics of it just aren't ideal for me (carrying in pocket) Includes the extra protective case & shipping to CONUS

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    I do, by a LOT. I hated the 900mk2 and 909 - literally unlistenable to me

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    I tried those, they don't fit the ear cups tightly and sort of have 'slack' around the edges. IIRC they also rotated a little after some time as they're too big to be completely secured

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    Got my hopes up on this one! I hadn't heard of Pilot Pad, but the only thing stopping me from buying 9200 again is the earpads have a square cutout which my ears don't entirely fit into. Was thinking maybe someone finally released an official earpad replacement, but looks as though the quest...

    Ok, I need help…

    In order of price: DCA stealth Denon AH-D9200 DCA Noire If open back is an option, HD800S. Re: electronics, you'll find hundreds of creative writing essays extolling the virtues of this or that amp/DAC. I don't believe a word of them myself, I just like stuff that gets out of the way (tubes...

    CEntrance Ampersand balanced portable headphone amplifier

    I have - I would, and did, choose Ampersand. In spite of this specs, the Diablo can only output 1.4W at low impedance. And, strangely, it has to be on the SE connection. The balanced connection will trigger protection circuit at high output. The Ampersand will do this, too, but around 2.2W...

    Next Level Amplifier

    None; there are no headphones I'm aware of which require more power than the A90 can produce, especially at distortion FAR beyond audible levels. If $1k is burning a hole in your pocket, another/different set of headphones is a better choice.

    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    This typically indicates the Qudelix doesn't have adequate power for your needs. What headphones do you use?
