Ghentaudio Cables - Impressions & Opinions. (First impressions & pictures in!)
Did your A01 cable lift the amp up like it did for the other user? Tempted to get a pair myself but wondering if a sightly longer cable would stop it doing it, as with the cables being quite chunky I don't think there's much slack hence it causing the lift.- protocol

Magni 3 Impressions
Couple of questions for those with more knowledge than me. Is the Magni 3 the one to go for over the Vali 2? As the Vali 2 is £55 (71$) more. I currently have a Vali 1 so either will be a big upgrade I'd of thought. I'm wanting to be able to switch between headphones and speakers and was...- protocol

Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread
Ok thanks. Will look into that suggestion and compare it to a standalone DAC like the Modi 2 as there's no price difference if I get the usb only version.- protocol

Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread
I currently have a Vali 1 without a DAC and have been meaning to get around to buying a DAC for ages but just heard about the Fulla 2 which does 2-in-1. Would it be an upgrade or more of a side step? My main use would be with my K7XX's and occasionally my DT 880's and I believe the Fulla 2 would...- protocol

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Wasn't sure if it was just a case of there being a bedding in period but I've had them quite a few month now. They were really comfortable to start with but can only wear them for a short period before getting uncomfortable. Tried wearing them on and over my ear differently but doesn't make...- protocol

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Does anyone else find these uncomfortable after more than an hour or so? I had same issue with the Q701s but that was to do with the awful bumps on the head band digging into my head. They seem to clamp down on my ears and I have to take them of for a bit to stop my ears hurting.- protocol

Well finally got my headphones yesterday. Big thanks to money4me247 for arranging all this and taking the time to not only test them for rattles (still no idea idea how you managed to get into the box though haha!) but to also answer my questions before and after they were posted to me...- protocol

Just phoned the depot who have my parcel and despite telling them about how I don't have to pay the handing fee, they are refusing to budge. I might have to go down there in person and speak to a manager.- protocol

Will do. It might just be standard procedure to put that on the tracking info. Guess I'll find out for sure in a day or two.- protocol

According to Parcelforce tracking system: Quote: Hopefully not too much to pay... guess this is the risk you take with importing high value items!- protocol

NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!
Just picked up a Vali second hand. Only issue is my headphones don't plug into the headphone jack. I'm assuming I need one of those 3.5mm to 6.35mm jack adapters?- protocol

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Would people say these cans benefit more from a tube amp or non-tube amp? In the process of getting my hands on a 2nd hand Vali but not sure if I'd be better off with the Magni 2 they have for sale instead. I was buying the amp for my Q701s but I'm selling them to pay for these instead.- protocol

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Tempted by these but already own a pair of Q701s and DT770 Pro. Probably have to part ways with one of them to fund the purchase of these. But which? I wouldn't have a use for three cans. Q701s are my most used out of the two but the bumps really hurt my head after awhile, even with a wool cover...- protocol

Q701 impressions thread
I have white Q701s although I didn't really have much say in the matter as I bought them off someone else. Since my CALs and DT770s are black, the white is a nice change. Black just makes them look like any other cans in my opinion.- protocol
