HiFiMan Susvara
It is indeed a great marriage. I love the combination of Flux Volot and my new Susvara. It has been a great weekend of listening to and enjoying music. I laughingly commented to my friend that this is end game (we all do it don't we), but Susvara is such a leap ahead for me (I previously...- apmusson

HiFiMan Susvara
Yep - revelatory is the perfect word. I hadn't expected this level of emotional engagement - I feel as though the music flows naturally through these cans. I'm not sure how the Susvara achieves this musicality - but other top tier headphones that I compared it against didn't compete -...- apmusson

Forza AudioWorks Impressions Thread
I've now owned my Noir cable for a couple of weeks and have allowed the cable plenty of time to burn in. I decided to write my impressions after trying the cable with my LCD 2 headphones. As a bit of background I had not heard of Forza Audioworks until I visited my friend - we occasionally...- apmusson

Forza AudioWorks Impressions Thread
I received my Noir yesterday. I'm taking my time as my cable seems to be changing character a lot over the last 24 hours. Initially, the sound was not how I remembered from my trial at my friend's house (same headphones and equipment). Opera in particular seemed to suffer from some...- apmusson

Forza AudioWorks Impressions Thread
Of course. I actually listened to my friends Pro iCan quite a lot when he brought it to my house in January. It sounded amazing with my HD800 headphones - really brought the bass to life - the best I'd heard! Our general feeling after our recent session was that it offered a little too much...- apmusson

I went to a friend's house recently and took my system to compare and trial with his. The equipment used was very good. Innuos Server, Chord TT2 and Mscaler, Violectric V550, Flux Volot, ZMF, Audeze, Hifiman, Sennheiser, Dan Clark Audio, Metrum DAC, IFI Can Pro, Beyerdynamic plus many others...- apmusson

Custom Cans Impressions Thread.
Thank you so much. The custom cans modded HD6XX has become my favourite headphone. It has all the best quantities of the standard HD650 and makes it better. Love it.- apmusson

Custom Cans Impressions Thread.
I've now had my customcan modded HD6XX headphones and cable for a few weeks and can thoroughly recommend the mod and the cable. I am listening on a decent headphone system (Fluxlab VOLOT / chord Hugo 2 / Mscaler / Innuos Server). Compared to my non modded HD650 headphones (yes I still have...- apmusson

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
And with an Mscaler it's 1,000,0000 taps... 😁. I wonder how the filtering circuitry and desktop power mode compares to the Hugo 2 which I'm currently using with the Mscaler?- apmusson

I'm looking forward to trying my Mscaler with the Mojo 2! I'm guessing it will make it sound better than a Dave? 😉- apmusson

Flux Lab Acoustics Dual Mono Headphone Amplifier, VOLOT - Mythical Giant or Giant Killer ? News, Speculation, Impressions, reviews and discussion
Do you use any power management or filtering with your VOLOT or is it plugged directly into your mains? I'm interested as I'm considering getting some additional power supply cabling and / or filtering. Thanks Ade- apmusson

I think mid-fi headphones will always have their 'best case' music matches... I love my HD650 with great rock and bass heavy music but prefer the HD800 with classical / opera / Jazz. Was it late at night? All headphones sound better after the sun goes down 🤣- apmusson

Great descriptions @XVampireX I can't stop smiling when I'm listening. I know it's early days but I'm listening to compete tracks without skipping... This is an indicator that I am in music enjoyment mode not in sound analysis mode. In my experience only the best equipment can do this...- apmusson

I very much like the HD800 with the VOLOT. My HD800 has Nordost Heimdall cables and Superdupont Mod. It sounds great. I'm going to provide full impressions after a couple of weeks of listening 👍- apmusson

My VOLOT has arrived. I plugged it in last night and connected it to my system. Initial excitement is very much the order of the day. It's not as big as I was expecting - it's definitely large but fits well into my setup. My wife (she's used to my debris) didn't comment! It's very early...- apmusson

I still use my Yuin PK1 earbuds directly with my Tera. I've tried many iems but always come back to the Yuins (partly for comfort, partly for the analogue sound signature). Monk Go are great value - I have a couple of pairs for general use.- apmusson

This is the best my Hifiman Sundara have sounded. Tera player providing awesome sound and a Corda Stepdance running in its high current, low gain mode. I've now owned my Tera player since 13th November 2012 and still love it. Truly musical.- apmusson
