John, I must thank you for a job well done. I received my boxed and modded bnc unit today. What can I say, I feel like a spoiled child. This is something special.   I play Macbook pro on battery // Itunes // alac // Amarra // Jkeny modded Hiface bnc // Oyaide bnc // Audio gd Ref 1// acss //...

Yikes, your thread has me perplexed. I have read a lot of your comments and you have always had a firm point of view. I thought you had a gift for the gab, slicing painfully with scathing sarcasm.   This post seems weak,  you like the products but you doubt the company, is there a hint of...

No, it was a thread on Headphonic, an Australian headphone forum where it was suggested to use a ME 24 preamplifier, and using an adaptor from the one set of outputs to the power amp, with a Neutrik 1/4 inch receiver, to drive a pair of headphones. I must say it does so very well , even K701 is...

Great review Rob. I value you elaboration on the amping issue. Could I please have your opinion on solid state amps, and if you still have the Phoenix, your take on the pairing. Thanks.

Thanks Les. That clears a few things up.   Quote:

Peete, the volume control has degraded so badly that I can only use the remote to set the...

Thanks Skylab, its all your fault you know. Your review and comments convinced me to get this Phone and you were spot on. I have had great fun thus far. There has been a lot said about the stock DX 1000, and I was apprehensive about balancing, I am glad I had it done.   You know the...

One must have fun "working" at home.

I set my K701 free, recabled with Vortex copper cable and Bocchino xlr's then mated with the Phoenix. Just in another league , wish you were here.

I would like to add my impression of the AKG K 701 in balanced format with the Phoenix amp. There are many threads about the K701 and it is a hot love or hate topic, don't want to go there. There were many aspects of the phone I liked stock, and some I wished were different sounding.  ...

Hi winzzz , I don't measure quality in $ and cents, let's just say I am happy with a reasonable exchange of value. I guess it's easy to do if you got the skills, I had it done by qusp , a headfier and mot, a great cable builder. I can imagine a fair amount of stress working inside a $1K...

I eventually got 2 of my headphones balanced and am enjoying the full potential of the Phoenix. I have used my JVC DX 1000 single ended and found the combination slightly dark and the trebble sweet but lacking in sparkle. On the 0/70 volume setting I was comfortable at 16-19 / 70 .   I...

I use my Macbook pro 15" as my main music server with iTunes, all imports to aiff. There are some great pieces of advice in the threads on how to optimise the sound qualty, just read and follow steps. I bought Amarra mini $ 300 and initially thought it was useless using usb dacs. The big jump...

What a way with words, painting the picture, making sense of the intricate world of audio. You have a gift slim.a, keep giving. I have often felt our great headphones are limited by our sources ( bar those that are lucky to have exotic and super expensive front ends), finaly we are getting...
