Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
With the MRs I had them left in my basket for 24 hours and was sent a £300 discount code. No idea if its possible with the DZ.- marcus2704

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
Kinda annoying having only recently forked out for a MR, but such is life. It could still be that the MR suits my Hugo 2 source better given the preamble above, but here comes that FOMO feeling once again regardless. I am very pleased that the Diana range continues to evolve and look forward...- marcus2704

Feliks Audio ENVY
I note that Western Electric offer a 5 year warranty on their 300B tube pairs, that puts my mind at rest a great deal more than the Elrogs 1 year offering and in itself would sway me towards WE. Probably there is more to it than meets the eye though, and I have written to them to clarify a...- marcus2704

Feliks Audio ENVY
Considering picking up some used Elrogs for my Envy, but having read about the unreliability of the earlier earlier Elrog tubes is really got me on the fence with it. There would be no warranty, if they went wrong next week there would be no comeback which would be galling considering they are...- marcus2704

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
I bought my MR direct from Abyss on the 14th March, applied straight away for the 10 year warranty. Since then have not heard a single thing, have emailed twice to - warranty@abyss-headphones.com - with no reply at all. Its meant to take 2-4 weeks, has anyone been able to successfully claim...- marcus2704

Feliks Audio ENVY
Thanks for all the replies! I may well be at the mercy of the used market also as to what comes up but initial feeling is that I lean towards a warmer sound than a technical one, and the WE's could be a good option. I will be sure to do some research. I enjoy the Envy w/Full Music's a lot...- marcus2704

Feliks Audio ENVY
Hi chaps, never tube-rolled before and this is also my first tube amp so please forgive if this is an obvious question, but would a Western Electric 300B or Elrog 300B be a (notable) upgrade over the Full Music 300B I have in my performance Envy? If the consensus is 'yes' then I may well be in...- marcus2704

HiFiMan Susvara
Nope, just a regular 4-gang extension socket. All ears, if you are happy to provide a little info as this isn't an area I have considered at all.- marcus2704

HiFiMan Susvara
FWIW I went from a Bliss KTE to an Envy for my Susvara and have never looked back, I have owned many combinations of equipment and for me this is the best synergy I have been able to attain. Each time I sit down to listen, it feels like a special occasion, as it should do. I have the...- marcus2704

HiFiMan Susvara
Mirrors my experience over the last couple of days. I was curious as to what they would say if I requested the 2.5 sockets be replaced for 3.5 ones, nothing at all wrong with my Susvara but I much prefer 3.5 and it does give me a few options on used cables for sale here that are also 3.5. They...- marcus2704

Arctic Cables Discussion Thread
Thank you, great info! I am sensitive to treble sometimes and so probably would not want to elevate that, whilst at the same time I am one of those people whom can never have enough bass so I am thinking a copper or a hybrid might suit me better than a silver, happy to be corrected though. A...- marcus2704

HiFiMan Susvara
Thanks, you have answered one of the questions that just popped into my mind given that the 2.5mm is so fragile, especially also as I may need a 3m one.- marcus2704

Yep, and they also just came back to me (very speedily) with a recommendation for the APERION option for my Susvara.- marcus2704
