    Reply to review by 'Faber65' on item 'Audio-GD Master 19'

    Great review George. i have been using my Master19 mainly with the Focal Clear and the Sennheiser HD650 and I must say that I love it. Paired with the Chord Qutest DAC it may sound somehow “dry” with some recordings. For sure not forgiving. in that case, or when I am in the mood of some...

    I don’t know the HA-300 so well or, at least, I don’t want to express an opinion without having listened the two amps in the same moment with the same headphones. What I can tell you is that the HA-6A is definitely not a laid back amp. Andy allowed me to play with the switch mode of the...

    Cayin HA-6A Class A KT88/EL34 Tube Headphone Amplifier

    I tested it at CanJam in Shanghai with the Meze Empyrean and to me it did sound amazing. Quite good in micro and macro dynamics, deep bass, a little forward mids (as expected), but I don't know how much the final result had to be given to the cans, which are phenomenal to my ears, and the amp...

    We need to be patient. I guess that even now few companies already re-started the operations, the problem is the logistics. There is a whole economic and social flywheel to restart. So far the shop in Shanghai that have the sample in display is still closed.

    Cayin HA-6A Class A KT88/EL34 Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Well, I am not Andy, but let me try to give you a rational answer. The 24th we started the Chinese New Year holidays, so no local company would make any announcement before. Then almost the same day the Government started to take countermeasures against the nCoV and now the only thing that we...

    I was one of the luckiest that had the chance to test it matched with the Meze Empyreans at the last Shanghai Canjam and I must say thank you to Mr. Andy for having allowed me to listen to that match as long as I wanted. In my opinion it was one of the gears that during the show was totally...
