    Audio-Gd Reference 10

    That's a good friend. Other DAC/amps will sound different but not better. With such a device, it's more about your ears, your recordings and the headphones you use. The 2 'flaws' l (personally) find in this unit are: - I wish it had a volume dial (even if l lose a tad bit of sound...

    Why doesn't anybody like the Denon AH-D600

    @Malfunkt I completely understand you. The AH-D600 looks quite nice and is well assembled. They are very comfortable as they offer space enough for most ears (and heads!) and have a reasonable weight. They provide good sound isolation (great for work) and, finally, they are tuned to a 'fun'...

    Audiophiles, Gear in Switzerland?

    At some point you should take a look at Interlaken area; l'd also recommend doing a hike in the Aletsch Glacier... l'm enjoying London, yes, but l'd rather be in Geneva if l'm honest. We were in Cambridge, MA (which l absolutely loved) before coming here. We'll see where my wife's job takes us...

    Audiophiles, Gear in Switzerland?

    Audio-Gd Reference 10

    Congratulations and welcome to the "Reference Club"... No, l use the original cable. Kingwa told me once that l could replace it in order to change the sound, but l'm happy the way it is. l look forward to reading your impressions!

    Audio-Gd Reference 10

    Ever since l bought my Reference 10.32 l have been very, very happy with it. l have bought many headphones (and sold a few) but l've never had the urge to replace the Reference. But, to answer your question in a simple way, l would certainly say "yes, it is worth $1000, no doubt." If l were to...

    JVC HP-DX1000 Owners Unite!

    l talked with my friend and he got a very basic 3D printer. What happens is he's just getting into the hobby now (the '3D printer' hobby...). As he explained to me, he will have lots of fun improving the 'basic printer' (e.g. adding parts to the basic model to turn it a more advance one), trying...

    A friend of mine is getting a 3D printer this Christmas (if he doesn't have it already). Would you mind to post the link to the piece in question? l'll take a look and, at least, l'll comment it to him :slight_smile:

    Holding mine on my hands, l noticed that the more a source of light is directed to the caps, the reddish they become. However, when the light is diffused or indirect, the color becomes more on the brownish side. Here, a couple more samples. Notice in the picture below how the color varies from...

    No, not yet. l thought of doing it, but the beautiful single ended plug puts me off. l'm sure l'll do it sooner or later :-)

    Well, as l said l'm using the Audio GD - Reference 10.32... lf you can afford the tubes, l would see it as an investment in entertainment. l mean, if you're looking forward to borrowing and having some great time with your friend's amp., then why not buying the tubes? l'd put it like when you...

    Hello guys, Sorry for sneaking in and brake the flow of the thread. I was absent from this thread so long because l spent a year living in Cambridge, MA, and had to leave my beloved JVCs behind (stored in a saaaaaafe place ;-) So now that l'm back, l wanted to share with you my absolute...
