Norbert Lehmann finally answered me. I'm waiting for the purchase invoice.

Thanks, let me know if it's a good quality DAC.

Is it possible to use it only as a DAC?

Absolutely the Lehmann Linear is an exceptional amplifier.

Who sells these faceplates? I have been waiting for a response from Norbert Lehmann for three days, he will probably have problems responding.

Bad time for my Linear. To remedy a scratch caused by hitting the jack, I caused cosmetic damage in my faceplate. I don't think there are any remedies to bring it back to the perfect conditions it was before. I'm available if anyone can give me an opinion on what to do. I also contacted...

I agree, I suggest Fiio not change anything, but simply remove the rounded edges. The amplifiers must be simple but electronically excellent.. if they are a bit bulky it doesn't hurt, the electronics ventilate better (praise for the K7 here).👍

Very good, your experience was useful for us. As it should be, if there are no electronics or settings problems, the Violectric has no noise.

If it can be useful to you, this evening I deliberately connected the following devices to a single socket + various multi-socket adapters (multi-sockets costing a few euros) : a smartphone charger, laptop charger, a lamp, DAC + V200 (to make any audiophile shudder). I set the pre-gain to -12 on...

Without turning the volume up.. if you touch the knob do you hear the noise getting worse?

Do you hear more or less noise when you touch the knob?

I will do exactly as you told me.. I imagine that the Planar II has the same cable but without that annoying cover.

In my opinion something went wrong with those headphones or the system. Mine don't present any kind of problem (tested with my other headphones). Unfortunately I still have its horrible original cable (very stiff and wrinkled) which I want to replace as soon as possible.

I don't understand how those scratches could go unnoticed during inspection. My V200 is assembled to perfection, knob and connections perfectly centered. I increasingly think that even electronically the products made years ago were part of quality and not quantity (as I currently see), even on...

If the amplifier is perfect, try asking L.P. if they can send a replacement cover, it's not difficult to replace it.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with these headphones. It's not easy to equalize the Avantone Planars. The curve I attached is perfect for my amps (Lehmann/Violectric), but may vary slightly with an amp other than mine. What equalizer do you use?

Something didn't work, but where did you buy the Avantone Planar?

If you think you have two similar amplifiers, consider upgrading the board. I checked all the audio tracks I have available (around 670) and the V200 has never outclassed the Linear and vice versa. They are two amplifiers characterized in the neutral range with slightly different audio nuances...

This is the curve I use with QRange:

The Avantone are very balanced, absolutely not tiring. When I equalize them they give me that sound that reminds me of floorstanding speakers.

The Pre-Gain should be set for a medium to medium high perceived volume (not deafening). Perfect as you did now, between 50 - 60% of the total rotation. I do the same with my V200 (now also for the Lehmann Linear).

When you listen to this amplifier you immediately perceive a high quality sound image that has been studied very carefully for a long time (even years), not a product designed to be improved with subsequent versions or redesigned from scratch. It is enough to see that even the advanced models...

The marker is discolored, it looks like a 0.6A fuse. The correct fuses to insert are T 0.5A at 120V. Lehmann linear in Europe uses fuses from T 0.25A to 240V.

The 13th is definitely the year (2013)

The Meze 99 have very dirty bass. If you equalize I recommend the Sony MDR-1AM2.
