    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    But like I said, this thread is 267 pages, comprised of people who have various versions of the Arrow. I think it’s therefor just another case of where people sometimes post in an online forum and then simply, for reasons unknown, stop posting thereafter. All I can do is continue to repeat...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    I’m actually quite disappointed in this thread. You’d think with almost 265 pages that at least someone out there would be able to reply to my previous post or the one prior to that, yet not a single person has stepped forward. It’s quite sad and disconcerting.

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Nobody replied to my previous post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/headstage-arrow-he-reviews-impressions-perceptions-sensations.475499/page-266#post-13645096 So I should ask the same question again. Does anyone have an Arrow G4 as well as a newer Arrow with which to compare? I ask this...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Quite a number of years ago, I ordered a Headstone Lyrix. Robert shipped me a Caffeine instead, which isn't really a bad amp at all; but in 2012, Robert kindly wrote me that I could keep the amp and he would ship me an Arrow G4 to complete my order (since I originally ordered the Lyrix, not the...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    I emailed Robert at his head stage email address 6 days ago and he replied to me today. I asked him this: How does the DAC in your Arrow 5TX compare with the M2TECH hiFace? http://www.m2tech.biz/it/commerce/?mod=product&cat_id=1&product_id=56 Robert replied, "Sorry, I don't know." But maybe...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Danny, I saw your link to the Arrow manual here: http://dannytang.ca/Arrow_Manual.pdf I see at the back of the manual a list of changes for the various versions of the arrow up to the 3G. But is there a newer version of the manual that lists the technical improvements to the 4G? Also, that...

    DENON D7000 revealed, impression and pics here

    This Japanese site had them listed for ¥88,200 (roughly US$803). Not listed now though, which is why my link is to Google's cache of the page. Guess Denon asked them to pull it because the product wasn't ready to be priced that low yet?

    REVIEW: PenguinAmp Caffeine portable headphone amp w/BASS BOOST - Aka HEADSTAGE LYRIX

    Well for what it's worth, I've also been in dialog with John Seaber concerning his Version 2.01 CMOY amps. I read Larry's rather aging review of an older Seaber model that lacked the volume POT. The new models are closer to what the Caffeine is spec-wise, but of course without the fancy internal...

    REVIEW: PenguinAmp Caffeine portable headphone amp w/BASS BOOST - Aka HEADSTAGE LYRIX

    The Lyrix link I posted above is the only Lyrix product I can currently find for sale. However, here is Google's cache of that page. As you can see on the cached page, there are 3 different models of the Lyrix, and the text indicates there is an option for the "total" edition (as Larry...

    REVIEW: PenguinAmp Caffeine portable headphone amp w/BASS BOOST - Aka HEADSTAGE LYRIX

    Larry, I certainly appreciate the explanation about burn-in. I had not given sufficient thought to the lower voltages of these amps, and that part makes a lot of sense. I also appreciate your comprehensive review and followup posts about the Headsix and Lyrix and Caffeine amps. I've been...
