    What would drive TH900 well?

    So I recently bought a pair of mint TH900 for under 600 dollars (got real lucky there). I realize that my current combo is probably not going to drive them well (Schiit Modi Uber 2 + Monolith Liquid Spark). Here are some options that I'm interested in; please give me some advice as to which one...

    SRM-300 vs. SRM-313

    Hey there! I need to purchase a driver for a pair of DIY electrostatic headphones and I'd like to know which one is better-- SRM -300 for 170 dollars or SRM-313 for 238 dollars? There is an incredibly talented electrostatic headphone maker in China that I discovered. Many very respectable...

    Is there any way to access the sample-only portion of the Internet Archive?

    The Internet Archive seems to be the perfect place for finding digital versions of older, more obscure music. However, a lot of it is only offered sample-only. Is there any way for to access these files? To me, it seems useless to have hundreds of thousands of songs when nobody can access them.

    Will there be a revised version of M1570?

    I think there will be. They are, as far as I heard, exceptionally-sounding headphones with some no-brainer problems. The problems, however, can be very easily fixed--just switch the wiring or use different connectors to change the proprietary mini-xlr connectors. In fact, they have done...

    STAX 2170: Love in the Time of Corona

    Under quarantine, I wrote this review in Chinese on a Chinese forum (since I had nothing better to do). You can see the power converter because the energizer is made for 120V, and China uses 220V. I saw these for 450 bucks and pulled the trigger immediately. People always talk crap about...

    Chi-Fi Tube Amp: RFTLYS EA1A

    Reeeal sexy, ain't it? I don't have access to it right now since it's in my host family's garage (social distancing!), so I'm going to post some stock pictures. Edit: the first picture was taken with my camera so the file was too big and wasn't showing. Changed it to a slightly compressed version.

    Listening with speakers and open-back headphones simultaneously dramatically improved the soundstage!

    TL;DR: Played music through speakers and headphones at the same time; discovered that doing this yields soundstage and details that neither the speakers nor the headphones can produce alone. Context: Recently, I purchased a pair of ESP/95x's. They sound absolutely amazing on their own--I love...

    How should I route my setup?

    Hi! I just received my ESP-95X, which is a fantastic pair of electrostatic cans powered by an energizer with a 3.5mm input and only one RCA input, which is problematic. It's problematic because I have two sources--a turntable and a Schiit Modi 2 Uber, both of which produce RCA outputs. Why not...
