Quote: What is the reason you like 627 more than 637? Is it stability, heat, sound quality?

Thanks. I use gain settings at 10 atm with my HD650, was using 18 for a while without any problems. The guy at Tangentsoft says that 637 sounds a little bit (like 5%) better then 627. Isn't anyone here using 637 with M-Stage? I don't know, I may go for the 627 after all just to be safe. The...

I am looking for some opamps to try with my Matrix M-Stage headphone amp. What I am looking to improve in the amp is to get a bigger soundstage and better separation of the instruments. After some research I came up with these choices:   - LM4562NA-ND - LME49720NA-ND (is this any different...

A few questions about some things that are not that clear about opamp and the class A mod. About opamps, as I understand it, if they are dual I can just remove the existing one and insert another 8-DIP opamp. If they are single then I need this BrownDog single-to-dual opamp adapter. Questions...

Quote: What gain do you personally suggest that I use if I go for class A? I am planning to do so later on, after I get a good picture of M-Stage's signature. Atm I am using 10 gain and have the volume usually at 12 o'clock. After listening the amp for some time, I would say that what I...

Bought a power cable and listening to  Tamp-20 right now. Volume is OK, but can't say that I'm impressed from the sound from my speakers, it causes fatigue to my ears. Not that I was expecting miracles from such a small amp anyway. Will have to do until I fix my NAD or buy a new desktop amp.

I may have got the wrong impression from some pictured of OPA Earth I have seen, but will that fit in the M-Stage case? It seems too tall to me to fit.

Quote: In the page description it says that you'll need 12V 4A power supply. I haven't tried yet the Tamp-20 either for the same reason, I guess electronics shops or even general multi-stores will have one such around.

What's the right way to turn of M-Stage? I usually close the power switch to the power strip where M-Stage and V-Dac are connected, with the headphones connected. Any problem with that?

Thanks, I think I'll give them a try. I don't have any diy skills myself, but if I have the right components I may go to a audio shop or something and have them put it together. Any idea how much that will cost me and where to get those components here in Europe? A good price would be great, as...

I received my unit yesterday, 10 days after I ordered it (time may vary I guess, depending on customs, local posts delay). I bought it from ns_fm_transmitter, he was very helpful (writing a lower price for the customs, 50 euro, and sending me the tracking number as soon as he sent the package)...

Actually I ordered the unit from them two days ago. Before doing so I sent them an email asking some things about their offer and how they could help me with the customs. Their response came shortly after and in a very professional manner. Today they sent me the tracking number together together...

Quote: Not wanting to start a new topic about this, so I'll ask here. Where are the rumors about HLLY selling a clone of a clone coming from? Did anyone had a bad experience with them? I am thinking to buy M-Stage from ns_fm_transmitter (100% Positive feedback) because they are giving for...

Hi. My first post in here, and I would appreciate it if you could help me a little bit in my quest for a decent music setup. My main source of music will be my laptop, a HP Pavilion DV7 (with an integrated 3D Sound Blaster Pro soundcard). I have already ordered Sennheiser HD650 and will have...
