That’s my findings also. Stealth/Expanse requires a good chain like Susvaras to be impressive.

Dosent matter it’s a single ended design. The balance input is only for ease of use. If you only have balanced connectors. No difference in quality or sound.

That was a steal. Never seen them used under $9.5K

I’ve heard great things about it with Susvara. I wouldn’t mind having one to pair with my Riviera.

Sent you a link

I use Danacable Lazuli Nirvana Speaker taps and Lazuli Nirvana Headphone cable to Susvaras. It’s also an outstanding pairing with the Riviera AIC-10.

We are on the same page here.

I like the U22 a lot. But orchestral type music i would say the HEKSE. These play strings and horns beautifully. The weight when the piano keys are hit are marvelous also. The U22 and HEKSE could be a great combo.

Then look at the Nirvana. I have those also. They are great. But the Lazuli Viola was made for the Susvaras. Not saying if want sound good. So that’s why a suggested the Rhapsody.

You only need the Danacable lazuli Rhapsody Cable for the HEKSE. Wonderful pairing.

Danacable Lazuli Rhapsody. You will be happy.

That would really depend on the amp. It would if it’s a fully balanced amp. But if isles a single ended design with balance connections. There should be no difference.

Buy a HEKSE used if you must and use the rest to a mojo2 or save for a used Hugo 2. You will be good. When you upgrade to an amp later your HEKSEs will scale.

Here’s my current configuration: Isotek EVO3 Aquarius with EVO3 Premier Power cable -> 2013 27” iMac -> Moon Audio Black Dragon USB Cable -> PLiXiR Statement BDC Dual Linear Power Supply 15V/6A/DC 2.5 with DH Labs Corona - Chord M-Scaler -> Wave High Fidelity Storm Reference Oyaide Dual BNC...

The Stealth Bass really depends position. I can tell you it lacks for nothing off my Chord Hugo TT2/MSvaler combo with Riviera AIC 10.

True I use them on all my headphones. Keeps all the dust off and looking good.

I thought the HE-R10P was that?

I don’t doubt that. They’ve been asking for the last 7 years.

Grab a Riviera AIC-10. Call it a day.

Never heard that.

Just posted about using the Chord Hugo TT2/MScaler combo/ Riviera AIC-10 of the speaker taps to CA-1A w/ T1-1B and Star 8 cable. Playing some Marcus Miller man this is a beautiful combination.

That’s why I said the Stealths need more power to shine. I can use with my Mojo2 only if I add the Cayin C9. I love the Stellia I have considered getting the HE-R10P also to go with my Susvara’s. But don’t know if it was worth it since I have the Stellia and Stealths.

Just picked my RAAL CA-1A’s up for listening session. Using the Chord Hugo TT2/MScaler combo/ Riviera AIC-10 of the speaker taps to CA-1A w/ T1-1B and Star 8 cable. Playing some Marcus Miller man this is a beautiful combination.

Wonder if the headband could be used on the rest of the line.
