Finally got around to finishing up my Storm review. Truly a lovely set though a little bit temperamental (as expected).- fjlabs

Review by 'fjlabs' on item 'Subtonic STORM'
Thanks to a good friend for this Subtonic Storm loaner for a bit over a month, which I've been daily driving on a variety of sources. I find it exceptionally difficult to start the Storm review without a lengthy upfront discussion, the purpose of which should hopefully become apparent. The...- fjlabs

Decided once again to sell my BlueSound Node 2i. It's been sitting in its original packaging for over half a year after I decided I would hang onto it back in April. However, I've chosen to let it go since it really doesn't get any use. It's been reset to factory conditions and has been...- fjlabs

Rosson Audio Design RAD-0 - Alex's Beautiful New Baby
Unfortunately, my RAD-0's would've been way out of warranty anyways. This was just a mode of failure I wasn't expecting. Yea in comparison, it's definitely not bad. I forgot how much pads cost since the last time I've ever had to replace a pair was long long ago. Focal pads though... are...- fjlabs

Rosson Audio Design RAD-0 - Alex's Beautiful New Baby
Has anyone had their RAD-0 pads come unglued? Both my pads had their adhesive weaken significantly and they both more or less just slid right off the headphone leaving a bit of stickiness on the sides of the cup. Just ordered a replacement but man they are pricy pads...- fjlabs

New, Fully Balanced Burson Conductor 3X: Dual ESS9038, 7.5wpc XLR, 3.75wpc SE Headamp, Changeable Opamps
I was able to swap the board myself. About 8 total screws and 3 sets of pin-board headers (super easy to pull out, just pull perpendicular).- fjlabs

Dethonray Pegasus SG1 - BT DAC/Amp Combo
Going to entirely agree with you here. Until I hear back from Anson, I'm a little hesistant about this device and can't really recommend it given the THD+N and overall SNR. I'm still waiting to hear back to see if this is entirely a software issue that can be rectified easily or a major hardware...- fjlabs

Dethonray Pegasus SG1 - BT DAC/Amp Combo
Note that the specs of the Pegasus have changed since its original pre-release specifications. Errata is in the top of the initial post. Pretty major changes to the THD and output power IMO.- fjlabs

Dethonray Pegasus SG1 - BT DAC/Amp Combo
Theoretically, Anson is suggesting that a software update is going to fix this. Will update as soon as i know more. Following up on this daily right now.- fjlabs

Dethonray Pegasus SG1 - BT DAC/Amp Combo
Talking to Awedyo Audio [where I got mine - he has a direct line to Anson], it's being looked into. Anson is currently working on a fix apparently and hopes to ship the fix soon. Don't take this as a review, but I'm also, on initial impressions, hearing it to be quite weird and not what I...- fjlabs

New, Fully Balanced Burson Conductor 3X: Dual ESS9038, 7.5wpc XLR, 3.75wpc SE Headamp, Changeable Opamps
Reached out to Burson about this a while ago. I had an old edition USB card in mine. It requires a specific USB OTG cable to go C-C. They were willing to upgrade my card to the latest card for $50 which fixes this issue and let’s you use any USB cable without an OTG adapter.- fjlabs

New, Fully Balanced Burson Conductor 3X: Dual ESS9038, 7.5wpc XLR, 3.75wpc SE Headamp, Changeable Opamps
Oh yea same issue with everything unplugged and nothing at all hooked up. Probably I’m just using way too sensitive stuff. My IEM’s are all 16Ohm and >105dB/mW… so yea definitely a gear pairing issue I suppose. I barely notice any noise with a RAD-0.- fjlabs
