Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
The 12 volt iPower elite is 10% off at Amazon in the US. I think (?) it was full price last night at $299. Nice surprise when I waited a day to order.- nwavesailor

At $300 and 'free returns' I may have to snag one for the M scaler and give it a listen!- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
I may have the Immanis as soon as Saturday (GO, :fingers_crossed:UPS!) and I have had the OG Sus for 3 years. I have no ribbon headphone experience at all so I may need some time to figure out the Raal or........ it will be stunning and jaw dropping from the first track, we'll see! I'm not good...- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 Immanis
I just got an update from UPS that my Immanis may indeed be arriving Saturday! I've mentioned this before........I have never heard any of the Raal hp so I am excited but not sure what to expect with all planar hp: Sus, LCD-5 and tungsten DS.- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
I do love bass but without giving up detail and clarity. 'Too warm and smoothed over' is not for me. I may receive my Immanis tomorrow and will see if the DAVE, paired with Envy + Elrog TM300B is a combo with great bass as well as detail.- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
I am one of those Envy owning tube rollers and love it! Most sit in boxes unused (I need to sell off a bunch!) but the true gems are so superior to the OEM tubes its laughable. If you like more warm and romantic then the WE are for you. If you want a bit more of everything.........go Elrog with...- nwavesailor

Feliks Audio ENVY
I have sent emails to Feliks regarding the need, and availability, of the slotted transformer cover for my Envy after a transformer replacement. I think it is a pretty simple question and I was wondering if 2-3 days is normal for a reply when emailing Feliks? EDIT: I was way too quick to post...- nwavesailor

I have pre-ordered the SusUv and will compare them to my OG Sus. One pair may stay unless the Immanis is so stunning I decide to go totally Sus-less!!! :scream:- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
I'll be joining you @Roasty with a silver Immanis soon! I read a post that the Silver units sound way better than the standard gold..........but then again it could just be a Head-Fi rumor.- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
I tend to put stock in the opinion of HeadFiers I have been following for years. I trust their ears and also their honesty in a post or review. Anyone can post anything here and that's fine. We all have opinions and it's up to us to judge who is worth reading and then believing what they post!- nwavesailor

NEW HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled!
If the Sus OG 'tanks' in measurements, it hasn't meant a thing to my enjoyment of them. I knew from the very first track on day one that the Sus were special. As always, YMMV. I have Immanis ordered and expect it to be amazing hp. If I find the SusUv is indeed a better Sus and a good stable...- nwavesailor

NEW HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled!
Yes, these look like the thickness my Sus stock pads. The Dekoni I received were way thinner. My ears never touched with the OEM Sus pads and did with the single Dekoni pad pair I tried.- nwavesailor

NEW HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled!
I tried those 'F' Sheep skin Dekoni pads with my Sus and my ears hit. My OEM Sus pads were thicker and I returned the Dekoni. I recall some owners reporting they had thinner pads on their Sus.- nwavesailor

Do you have the OG Sus? Kind of curious how they compare in SQ and wonder if the Susan pads are thinner than the OG Sus.- nwavesailor

RAAL 1995 Immanis
I am currently a Sus boy and hope to be a Immanis boy very soon! Without hearing the Raal, think I'd like to stay in both camps unless the Raal is so good that the Sus simply gathers dust. As @Kiats suggests, I may get both!!!- nwavesailor
