aspenx, thanks for the lesson on caps. I appreciate very much and glad to know that those Nichicon caps don't get that hot. 

Quote: Thanks for your reply. Does your Lovely Cube get hot running Class A like some of the Matrix M-Stage? I'm wondering if it'll affect the durability of the Nichicon caps since they are rated at 85C instead of Elna at 105C. They are very close to those heatsinks!   One more...

aspenx, are there any differences in the sound signature in stock form compared to your previous lovely cube that's using the Elna caps? Which is better, Elna or Nichicon?   Btw, what camera are you using? Nice color.

This amp must be selling like hot cakes on ebay. It is so competitive that some sellers are giving one HLLY TAMP-20 free with every purchase!! Talk about good bargain. I wonder if that will pressure some other sellers to lower their price or give a better deal?

Try to get the M50 if you can. I bought the V6 for my first headphone after doing a lot of research here. I was impressed at first but it was too harsh for long hours of listening. Another thing that you need to take into consideration is cost of replacing the ear pads. Good luck and stay away...

I'm curious... what are the chances of the parts like caps, resistors or even the APLS pot being fake? I'm not saying that the Matrix M-Stage uses fake parts or everything that's made in China is fake. I'm just wondering how can one tell if the parts are the real deal.

Quote:   Anyone?...   I find it hard to get any reply in this forum....sigh! Is it because I'm a total noob? Or is it because I ask stupid questions? I just need some help deciding because some say the Bravo/Indeed can drive the dt990/600 and some say that the Phenix G3 can as well. I...

Can this amp power the dt990/600 properly? I've read that it can but I'm still a bit sceptical since it's not an OTL. I'm considering getting this (Bravo V2 / Indeed G2) or the Phenix G3.   I listen to electronic, jazz and rock and I'm also worried that the Phenix G3 might not be fast enough...

Just to report that there's no hiss with Shure SRH840. I've had them for two weeks. SQ is amazing!

Hi Craig, I just ordered a Pro 2 from you and just want to check if it's possible to update the firmware using a mac? Tx

I'm planning to get the AMP3 and SRH840. Anybody tried them together? I would appreciate your feedbacks. Just for reference, I find that my MDR-V6 too bright and the bass not tight enough and deep enough coming out of an iMac. I was disappointed by the sound of the V6 after doing all the...
