Schiit Gungnir DAC
I'm looking for a less piercing DAC. The ESS Sabre Tooth chip in my current set up is very shrill at the top end. I would like to get a view of the Gungnir's internals.- Double F

McIntosh C50 preamp overview video
I like Mac and it holds it's value better than any other brand. Especially the amps, the prices people will pay for 15 year ones that will need a recapping is ludicrous.- Double F

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
I have been using my newly aquired M^3 with the HE500s and am happy with the results. Sound is more dynamic but retains the smoothness that is a HE500 trait. Bass has bloom, nice change after a session with the HD800 which I plan on keeping. The next step is to get the upgraded Sigma PSU to...- Double F

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Curious how the M^3 might perform with the HE-500? Just purchased 1 off the for sale forums. I have been using the headphone amp in my Mcintosh CD player which is actually pretty good but hoping to get better bass with more power. I tried the HE-500 with my Bottlehead Crack and it was...- Double F

Spotted on Audiogon
I was actually the person who bought it. He lives about 30 minutes from me. We set up a time for the meeting but unfortunately I was unable to make it due to car trouble. I emailed him and instead of setting up a new time he canceled the transaction with a rudely worded email. In...- Double F

New listening impressions of Stax C32 prototype and Shipping SR-009
Most of the current Stax produced amps are acceptable but more power takes it to the next level. This is why 1000 watt mono block speaker amps are built. Will you ever play speaker using all that power? Proly not, but the sound getting up to the volume level desired is that much more...- Double F

REVIEW SUMMARY: A ranking of 32 tube and tube/hybrid headphone amps
I had the Leben for several months. It's performance was very good with the LCD-2, however, since I only used it as a head amp I did not feel it was worth it. My version was the Japanese 300xs. There has been speculation that Leben made some adjustments to the gain with the xs version that...- Double F
