    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-3

    Thanks, those options didn't cross my mind. Part of me wants to just go for the multibit gungnir and a mjolnir2 and call it a day.

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-3

    Hi friends,   Looking for recommendations for an amp and DAC for my LCD-3F. I have a $1,500 budget for the new gear.   I currently have a Schiit Bifrost DAC and a Lake People G109A amp.   The Oppo HA-1 looks interesting, and it is in my budget range. I was also looking at a Schiit stack of...

    Introducing Violectric (by Lake People) Cables

    Yes, I'm using them at the moment with the Lake People G109-A. It's a close fit, but it works without issue.

    Introducing Violectric (by Lake People) Cables

    I just received my Violectric RCA interconnects along with my Lake People G109-A headphone amplifier. I am amazed at the quality of both products, but especially the RCA interconnects.   I will start with a little bit about my cable history. Thus far I have mostly used cheap monoprice...

    GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier

    Hey guys, I'm looking at the massdrop for the Gustard X12. Is it a good deal? What are some other options around $450 if the drop doesn't go through?   Thanks

    For the money, it's great. I'm using Windows 10 and it plays nicely. I don't ASIO or anything fancy like that. I just plugged it in and started using it with the windows generic sound driver. I used it with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-800 600 ohm cans for years and it produced a very nice SQ. I...

    Lake People G109 / G103 thread

    I bought mine straight from violectric-usa.com and it was very close in price to the massdrop price. It also gets shipped right away when you buy from them unlike massdrop.

    It sounds totally neutral. It has tons of power for any headphone. It really let's the headphone show you its character. The soundstage is expansive with plenty of air between instruments.

    Lake People G109 / G103 thread

    I just joined the club with the G109-A. It is great!       Build:   The amp is sharp looking with a nice black finish. The gold silk screening has a nice appearance, as well as the gold feet. The amp looks like a classic piece of hifi equipment and will fit on any desk. I believe anyone...

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    I just received my HE-560s and am loving them. The first thing I noticed was the soundstage; it sounds totally natural. The instrument separation is much better than my Beyerdynamic DT-880 600 ohm. The vocals sound less compressed and more resolved. It sounds like the signer is there with you...

    Budget Summit-Fi Rig ($1300) Recommendations??

    Hey guys, there's a lot of great recommendations in here.   I have made my 'summit-fi' purchase. I went with a Hifiman HE-500 and a Audio-gd NFB-10SE for the dac/amp. I absolutely LOVE my setup! It sounds superior to any of the headphones I've had previously. The detail is incredible and I'm...

    Budget Summit-Fi Rig ($1300) Recommendations??

    I was citing from the USA Clash of the Titans post. I did not know it was all relative to the RS-1. I will seriously consider them if they have more bass the senns. It's good to know they are bass neutral; I'm looking for a rather neutral sound signature.
