    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    I have spent weeks reading through this forum and gathering the supplies for the DIY Aegis, and have everything except the chassis which Landfall is backed up on, only to be smitten with the ZMF version…. Ughhh…. Now I am left torn between continuing on the build or bailing and getting in line...

    Icon Audio HP205D

    I have been following your journey with the Icon Audio 205D with great interest. I have a couple planars [Caldera, Rad0] and a couple high impedance dynamics[AO, VC] and have been drooling over the Envy. I have also wondered about a Euforia Evo as a standalone with the dynamics or as a pre...

    Eddie Current Studio 300B... The Thread.

    Thanks for your response and happy to find someone that has had similar experience with the EML’s. I enjoy the EML overall and for most music it sounds great. Obviously have nothing to compare to yet. I have the WE on order and will try the RCA Jan CRC 5R4GY per Ardbeg 1975’s advice. I...

    Any thoughts on how the 5Y3GT compares to the 5R4GY?

    Eddie Current Studio 300B... The Thread.

    Which 5R4GY rectifiers have you tried? The Brimar (British) tend to have a slightly warmer signature than the array of tubes from the US From what I have read. Any experience w 5Y3GT rectifier tubes? Thanks…

    Eddie Current Studio 300B... The Thread.

    The headphones used are primarily ZMF Atrium Open and Verite Closed. I have not spent much time yet with my RadO’s on the Studio B. The edginess of the female vocals is quite a bit less on my Rogue RH5 with either Mazda or Brimar tubes. The Studio B seems a bit more ‘airy and articulate and...

    Eddie Current Studio 300B... The Thread.

    Thanks for the above. I was leaning towards giving the WE 300’s a try as they seem tom fit my preferred sound signature, but hard to ignore the circle jerk around the Elrogs…

    Eddie Current Studio 300B... The Thread.

    The traffic on this thread has been low but I wanted to pose a question and hope for some assistance. I obtained one of Craig’s last Studio B amps and have had what I hope is a minor issue with the SE/Balanced switch that I have yet to discuss with Craig, but a question about a struggle with...

    ZMF Verite Open

    Hi, I wanted to pass on my experience, admittedly limited, with the Pendant SE. I have no experience with the other amps you are considering other than reading multiple reviews. I use the Pendant with Verite closed, Aeolus, Rad 0. I love the design, appearance, and sound, but have a...

    Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread

    Thanks Robert, I had not read that review. On the Diana YouTube series, they recommend the GSX mini amp For the V2 Diana. I am wondering if anyone has had the Rogue together with the GSX Mni for comparison? Thanks M

    Rogue Audio RH-5 Impression Thread

    Hi all, I am intrigued by the Rogue RH5 and have a couple questions. I have Verite Closed, Aeolus, and Rad 0 that I have been playing through a Pendant amp. I have struggled with the hum on the high Z tap especially with the VC and have tried most of the fixes without any significant...
