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?- jfiveeight

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.- jfiveeight

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...- jfiveeight

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...- jfiveeight

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...- jfiveeight

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...- jfiveeight

+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.- jfiveeight

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.- jfiveeight

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.- jfiveeight
