    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    I had ER-4S's crammed so deeply into my ear canals day and night... I was enamored by them despite the complete lack of bass.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    The Susvara headphones led me down a deep rabbit hole; they were so revealing that I could hear flaws like never before. As others have mentioned, it's all about the chain and what you like. It's a costly mistake to look for quick fixes without hearing them first. I went from Bifrost 2 > BF 2/64...

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    I got that password email about a year ago... it sparked a small purchase which QUICKLY snowballed... now I'm sitting on the best system I've ever owned.

    Holo Audio Bliss

    I have not, I accidentally blew up a previous pair of Susvara, so I'm overly cautious now after a very expensive mistake.

    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Yes, 12v is within spec. The key (as I understand) is you need unregulated battery output. Also, I should point out that Rob Watts has stated that if you use a battery for MS then cables between MS and TT2 are less important, I have since added the Wave Storm BNC cables and I think the battery...

    Holo Audio Bliss

    I just switched from Mentor dual mono stack to Bliss... these two amps DO NOT sound the same. Bliss is wonderfully smooth and musical while Mentors are very analytical and clean. A single mentor isn't even worth mentioning, the dual brings so much more space. Honestly, I'd just purchase silent...

    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I tried BixPower as recommended all over this thread, and there was an audible improvement... though I got tired of keeping the battery charged. Ideally there would be someone out there who has compared battery to "upgraded" power supplies on M-scaler... I ultimately went back to the stock...

    Holo Audio Bliss

    probably not very helpful since I'm using TT2... but I listen to Bliss and Sus loud and I'm at 0 to +10, keep in mind TT2 outputs 5v instead of 5.8 that May outputs.

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I tried that, that's how I found the static which I assume is overvoltage and I'm probably being overly cautious to not ruin either device. I was just hoping for an accurate way to measure the TT2 and match it correctly to the Bliss.

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I'm trying to pair the TT2 up with a new Holo Bliss. The Bliss is expecting up to 5.8v on the XLR's and the TT2 is putting out 2.5ea... I find myself running the Bliss at or near max volume with OG Susvara so I believe I need to use "Amp mode" to boost the voltage on the XLR's. How do I measure...

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I’m one of those that hear a difference with mscaler… but my 50yr old ears would not use the word “significant”. It’s a very personal experience and you shouldn’t let us tell you… your ears and wallet must decide.

    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Today I received the BixPower BP90, I notice that it has 3 different output ports and I assume I'm to use the 9-12v output for the MS. My question is that in the documentation it states that this port starts at 12.6v and gradually decreases to 9v through discharge... is 9v enough for the MS? (or...

    Watts Up...?

    It was on a blog that I was reading and seemed like a great way to use humor to diffuse the tension in this thread on that particular day. I will add an on topic statement, though. I’ve been into high end audio for a very long time… nearly 40yrs and I can perceive differences in gear that...
