Airpods pro
I've done something similar, wearing my Airpod Pros under the Sony WH1000XM3 headphones with active noise cancellation enabled on both. This worked really well on the BART train system in the Bay Area, blocking out nearly all of the noise except when going through the tunnel under the Bay (that...- pbear

Airpods pro
Here's an ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274150236720. These are pretty pricey, but are supposedly made in the USA, unlike other Chinese knockoffs available on ebay. They're available in white or black. I ordered a set in white, should get them Friday. There's a video that shows how to...- pbear

Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli
The power supply measures ok: 36V and 1.5A. It's curious that it blinks while the LP is turned on, though. Yeah, I already googled (including a reverse image search) and checked on Amazon and eBay without finding anything similar before asking.- pbear

Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli
Sadly, my LP has stopped working. I'm not sure whether the problem is with the LP itself or with the stock external power supply. With the external power supply plugged into the LP and the power switch on the LP off, plugging the power supply into a wall outlet causes the LED on the power supply...- pbear

Liquid Platinum Tube Rollers.
Thanks for the recommendation, I snapped these up. They'll be my first OS tubes, so it should be very interesting to compare against Gold Lions (which are great overall but can sometimes be a little too bright with my Utopia). Unfortunately, the adapters I ordered will take a while to arrive...- pbear

Have you heard it with the Utopia? Although you no longer have the Liquid Carbon, how would you compare the Platinum to it?- pbear

Focal Utopia General Discussion
The Woo Audio stand (HPS-R) is very sturdy and works perfectly with my Utopias. The headphones rest on a metal part that matches the curve of the headband, so there's no need to worry about the stand creating dents in the headband. As a bonus, the Woo Audio stand is less than 1/3 the price of...- pbear

Yes, it does. I'm using my Pulse Infinity as the DAC with a Cavalli Liquid Carbon (v1) as the amp right now, with XLR line-level connections between the two.- pbear

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
There are supposedly different firmware versions for different models, and the firmware installer isn't smart enough to check that the firmware version is compatible with the hardware you're trying to install it on. I think LH Labs is afraid a lot of people would brick their Pulses if they...- pbear

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
I had the same problem, six weeks with no response to my RMA request, and multiple escalation tickets were closed or merged into the orginal RMA ticket. @runningwitt was nice enough to pm me the direct email for the technician, who responded right away. In my case, upgrading the firmware to...- pbear

The only internal email address I have is for Gina. I tried sending an email to her, but the email was simply redirected to the ticket system, and the ticket was closed with no response. I promised in my latest escalation ticket to continue pestering them every week until they...- pbear
