Corsonus Kodachi - new electrostatic amplifier
I have sold several units already but until I was sure about the supply chain issues due to covid, I didn't want to do a full public release. As mentioned before, some parts were out of stock for months and some up to a year or more lead times, even now. Yes it is fully balanced from input to...- mypasswordis

Corsonus Kodachi - new electrostatic amplifier
Yes, the review unit is kind of a mashup of parts due to the long and tedious processes involved in hand finishing the amp, and the possibility that the unit would be damaged or lost in shipping. I'd show you vids of the finishing and anodizing process but it would be more fun to watch paint...- mypasswordis

CanJam NYC 2020 Impressions Thread (February 15-16, 2020)
Hey guys, Corsonus from the meet checking in here. Just wanted to post up a pic of the amp stacked, as I forgot to have one setup stacked to show the footprint and also a few people thought the power supply was a DAC. It was nice talking to you guys, and a bit weird being on the other end of the...- mypasswordis

The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)
To all the people claiming the frequency response is deeply flawed: Almost all of these graphs seem to have a "spike" at 8-10kHz: https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/headphone-measurements-explained-frequency-response-part-two Anyone see any similarities between those graphs, this one, and...- mypasswordis

Orthodynamic Roundup
Too many collectors out there who are willing to pay huge amounts for the rare ones, thus driving prices up :( the new orthos should have driven prices back down but instead they're all thousands of dollars, not much better, and a lot less reliable- mypasswordis

Orthodynamic Roundup
Hey @DefectiveAudioComponent and @ericj! Glad you're still holding the fort down. The Magnat looks gorgeous, hope you find a good solution. Sadly, plastic doesn't age as well as metal, as I have also experienced. Not orthos but just bought these Teledynes by accident: Is...- mypasswordis

New Jecklin Float QA !!!
All that I see on the website about any improvement from the old model is that the new stepup transformers are bigger and heavier, and will improve the bass of old Floats as well. Given "thinker" 's impressions on the sound of the QA with his golden ears, it doesn't seem like the bass or...- mypasswordis

Orthodynamic Roundup
Did you buy the ones on ebay? I've been curious about the Aiwas since Kabeer brought them to our attention. So there's not a lot of bass?- mypasswordis

Official/ New York Spring Meet Sat April 5 2014
Woah, dunno how I missed this, thanks for the offer! That should work fine if you can pick me up at your nearest subway station. I guess I wouldn't expect the vast majority of people in Manhattan to have cars, myself included. In regards to actually bringing stuff to the meet, I think...- mypasswordis

Orthodynamic Roundup
PMBs and their OEM versions seem to be much rarer on this side of the pond, I'll keep a lookout but not expecting to find a pair with 55mm drivers anytime soon. I am about to buy some other rare vintage headphones anyway, so the headphone fund is empty now. The RT10 looks very beautiful, you...- mypasswordis
