Something to consider is the new B-21 Raider coming out this summer from Ray Samuels Audio. I would suggest giving Ray a call if you are interested. It is a dual amp design for electrostatic and other headphones. The focus of the the design was to bring out the best of the Stax SR-X9000 and...

I was using a WyWires Golden Power Broker. Before my monobloc Aries Cerat Concero 25 had to go into the wall. With the quality of the AC4500P, you don't need to do that. Also separately designed analog / digital filters.

I recently added their AC4500P and I think it is excellent. I use the 2M 4004 power cord to plug into the wall.

I started migrating 2 years ago as I was upgrading my system to Aries Cerat so it is difficult to say exactly since they came in with a new DAC and Preamp. I was using Zavfino Fusion cables before. Overall I would say they brought more detail and naturalness to the musical presentation...

I have the Air LS4004 speaker cables and the NF2404 interconnects. The 2405 and 4005 were just recently released. They are very well built and have good synergy with my Aries Cerat 2 channel system. I do use a NF 2404 to feed my RSA A-10 electrostatic amplifier.

Why non-transferrable on the 5-year warranty?

Have you tried any of the Noble wireless?

Do you have specifications for what a headphone amplifier needs to drive them exceedingly well?

I didn't know that it varied. Thank you!

Friday's order at 11 am EST, sell out in 60 seconds??

I am listening to the Corina this evening on a RSA B-21 Raider Prototype and the Corina has strong bass and absolutely none of the siblience associated with an electrostatic headphone. Actually you wouldn't even think it is an electrostatic headphone given it's performance on the B-21 Raider.

Have you considered the Aries Cerat Helene? It is their starting DAC. When I started my DAC upgrade in 2022 I went with it but subsequently upgraded to their Kassandra Reference II.

Since the Corina was tuned with the BHSE, I would suggest being sure any amplifier you consider other than the BHSE at a minimum meets the same specifications as it.

Before I tried to order the DS from Modhouse, I tracked down a DS from Ray Samuels Audio so I'm set if I ever get Modhouse's DS.

Does anyone know how many were available in the round?

I never got to the payment section. After I hit submit it took me back to the sold out and sent my message as they copy you. It was a shock.

I had one in my cart and was adding a note and when I submitted it it sent the email and kicked me out of the order. This was 1 to 2 minutes passed 11 am EST.

Picked up a RSA Dark Star for my OG 4 screw HE-6 yesterday and it brings them alive.

Thanks for the follow up.

Hi I dropped you an inquiry from US Audio Mart. My one question relates to the condition. It is rated 10 on US Audio Mart but it says only good above. Could you clarify?

I wish I had more experience with the other amplifiers but this amplifier and the X9000 were meant for each. Then add its performance with the Abyss 1266 and you have to ask how could it get better? This is just using the Exogal Comet Plus with Roon running on a Mac Mini M2Pro.

I was wondering if anyone else in this thread lives in middle of nowhere Central Illinois and would like to stop by and listen to the RSA B-21 Raider prototype I have for a few weeks. I don't have much experience with amps outside the RSA world. To me this amp seems to be very special in its...

The prototype B-21 Raider has landed and I just finished setting it up using Roon / Qobuz feeding my Exogal Comet Plus. Right now I have the latest Abyss 1266 on the dynamic output and the Stax SR-X9000 on the electrostatic side. All you need to do is turn down the volume and flip a switch and...
