    EHHA Rev A - Interest Thread

    I will check it. The build fit and finish, sound, and documentation are amazing. Did you find the 6GM8 tubes to be the best sounding?

    EHHA Rev A - Interest Thread

    Hello thread, i ended up with @muskyhuntr 's ehha revA. I read back a page or two and he had mentioned he grounded it differently. Anything I can help with here? I am also seeing issues with the amb e12 but only on the right channel, sometimes it works. I have yet to troubleshoot it.

    The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)

    Can one of the two people in this thread that have auditioned the headphone clear this up?   Sony states it's closed and the noise isolation has been commented on as impressive.  I am still curious if they are called closed but closer to a semi open design due to the paper filter and not a...

    Mini Dac TDA1543 X 4 NOS

    Alright well, i figured $60 is worth it to see how this NOS sounds and if the metrum octave will be my cup of tea.  I checked the DC offset on my amp and it starts highish (30mv+) then the meter counts down to about 5mv and hovers there throughout the powerband.  Is this too much that i...

    Mini Dac TDA1543 X 4 NOS

    Quote: Waiting on this since you bought one in January.   I was originally shooting for the EE minimax but the Octave looks compelling.   What I'm most concerned about is the 6 moons review doesn't talk about resolution/detail as much as I wished.  I greatly enjoy listening to...

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    It comes down to what higher frequencies you are sensitive to.  I think that with the HE-6 having a similar, lower but much broader peak in the treble allows it to sound uniform across the range and instead of just one short peak, spreads it out nicely.  Of course this wouldn't work at all if...

    Review: Audeze LCD-2 (r1 & r2), HiFiMan HE-6, Stax SR-507, Stax OII MKI/BHSE, et al

    I didn't mean to trash ASR's opinion or hard work. The review was quite thorough and put together amazingly well. Thank you for writing the review.

    Review: Audeze LCD-2 (r1 & r2), HiFiMan HE-6, Stax SR-507, Stax OII MKI/BHSE, et al

    +1 HE-6 defense force go! They got pretty torn apart in this review. Although, comparing them vastly underpowered to what is to known as one of the best headphone/amp synergies really grinds my gears.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I try to ground myself on my table as much as possible due to sitting in a microfiber chair...  I've noticed this happens with heaphones that have a metal driver or cloth over a metal cover (ultrasone).  Never happened with the SA-5000.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    That's why i use 150Wpc @ 8ohms, and it sounds great. Sadly not all music is mastered equally. My classical collection is expanding way too fast.
