Why don't you just read some reviews of the M-stage ? LC and M-Stage should be comparable even though the LC should be slightly better. All that I can say so far that the amp sound quality is good and improved within the burn-in time. But I don't want to say too much for now since I've...

Maybe the Audio-GD NFB-12 fits to your needs. It's an amp with integrated DAC for about 200$. I don't know how it sounds though but people around here start going crazy about it. The only con is that you have to wait until you'll get one production schedule lasts til March or April. Matrix...

Nice   And you replaced the 4700µF and 470µF caps with what kind of caps? Can you hear an improvement?

Thanks Bla ! That really brought some light in the dark. But one thing I'd really like to know is whether it i normal that DC offset goes up with more play time? I used the LC for maybe 10 hours or so and the DC offset rises slowly every with every time I'd put it on.

I've got a question. Is it normal that I've got a DC offset of max. 5mV at a gain of 20dB while I've got 11mV at a gain of 0 ? Should the DC offset stay constant within the burn in time ? Is it normal when it rises or is this a bad sign ?

Just heard my LC the first time. It is my first headphone amp and until now I've also never listened through an amp. The improvement is not thaaat big but what I've experience until now is that the sound gets really more detailed, the harshness is reduced to a fair amount  and a much better...

Did you mean with BLC the Lehmann BCL ? If yes, you really think that this combo wouldn't work well ?

  Quote:   Thats really interesting.. Have you also measured the BD139 and BD140 from the stock LC compared to the BD139/140 you've bought ?

  Quote: Thanks for you're encouraging words ^^ Yeah to solder some transistors shoulnd't be that difficult. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Well alright you convinced me.. 50%? Dang...   Well see if I'll tweak my device. I never soldered anything so I guess I'm a total klutz at it.

Cool let us know how it'll perform! I'm really curious about it^^     Quote: Well thats surely a bummer. Therefore I would never buy such crucial parts from a chinese guy at ebay. Because you will certainly always get fake parts no matter how genuine these may look like. I think...

Well I don't care if these parts are counterfeit products as long as the amp sounds good. I think the slogan "you get what you pay for" fits good in here. You should always consider that the seller wants to make profit, and you should also calculate that you could get fake parts especially if...

Maybe you wanna buy the Lovely Cube ? Assembled it goes for 231$ without assembling 211$ and if you buy it without a case you can even get it for 170$.
