Several bros with Tungstens are circulating and couldn't make it today but they will find the Cayin booth tomorrow

Tungstens changed my whole audio world. They are my #1 favorite and I've gone through every planar in the game, with Susvara not far behind and occasionally preferred. Amp pairing can take some experimentation but they do really well with the $400 for two, 60 pounds of Thomann S150 T.amp, a...

Will cross-post my impressions posted elsewhere. ZMF Caldera By Peter Bradstock, Double Helix Cables Welcome everyone to my early impressions of ZMF Caldera. As a long-time ZMF owner, I was given the opportunity to try these pre-release. I paired them up with my May KTE > HPA4 > AHB2 stack...

This was an experiment cable I built (15awg x 8 = 12awg x 4) to determine the relationship between cable gauge and SPL on the Raal transformer box. Not a retail product.

Yes, it’s imminent, as an actual working unit is doing its thing at a dealers house.

Bliss is 3x cheaper, if it's even close, and I suspect it will be, it'll be an exceptional value. A dealer with a Bliss right now has stopped using AHB2 with Susvara in favor of the Bliss, which says a lot; I may just be using the AHB2 as a speaker amp if the Bliss is competent enough with...

Apparently it gets destroyed by air conditioning and paused music

Definitely no music overnight, Roon was paused; everything else, other headphones were working normally and nothing looked amiss, but the Susvara that were plugged in were totally dead. I switched to another headphone and they were playing music so that's when I knew.

Yep they're less than a year old. I don't get how loud music doesn't BBQ them but paused headphone amp did.

Well, my Susvara was connected to Ragnarok2 for the night, music paused, amp on (not doing that again, just for peace of mind). The system has a PS audio power plant P3 for clean power (we hope) and protected by a rackmount Cyberpower UPS. Dac is Holo May. Susvara fine in the night. Only...

Great buyer, fast payment! Look forward to future dealings.

bump

Meze Empyrean in excellent working condition, clean and sound and great performance. A few light wear marks on the aluminum frame; light scratches on the carrying briefcase (its travel case is painted aluminum and won't hold up to any sort of travel in terms of scratch resistance, but still...

Flawless DCA Stealth. Only a few hours on these, identical to a few hours ago when they were new! Includes everything a new one includes, including original shipping carton/leather box/foams (not pictured, they're big and don't fit well in my photo setup). Price includes Fedex shipping...

Not partners, or one business, although our headphone cable industry has underwent a certain amount of convergent evolution. Businesses figure out what works and adopt it. Sometimes one company figures something useful out and the rest go with it, or figure out a way to improve it. As an...
