    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    I am so tired I thought the amp on the right was a black cat.

    Feedback by 'NWRain' on listing 'ECP Torpedo III (Red!) + NOS tubes'

    Very positive experience with good communication, and the amp was very packed.

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    The topic of amorphous transformers has been discussed, but I noticed on Erhard that the LL1667 comes in a nano crystalline core. Has anyone tried this particular version?

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    The 450HXW220MEFR18X45 seems to be out of stock from Mouser and Digikey. I was spacing out my orders over a few months, so I was planning on waiting for it to come in restock, but you may need to find an alternative.

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Neotech teflon insulation seems to be red, and Neotech pvc insulation seems to have different colors per gauge with 20awg being blue. Any difference is probably going to be subtle at most, but I have really enjoyed OCC headphone cable. I thought it would be a fun way to personalize the Aegis...

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Thanks! I was worried about losing track of each cable. Especially around the transformers, chokes, and the impedance switch. Both of the stranded, and solid core Neotech PVC 20awg wire is blue. I was possibly thinking of electrical tape or writing short hand on masking tape but shrink wrap...

    Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

    I had a question for those who built using neotech cable. How did you organize your wire when building the Aegis? I have soldering experience, but have not built an amp before. Also, did you still use the Mogami cable? If not what Neotech equivalent did you guys use?

    These we're made November, 2016. I'm not aware of all the revisions, but I would assume that is one of the more recent ones.

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

      I used a microfiber, and a fingernail.  Whatever it is. It is stuck in the resin.  I think your words are very truthful, but I can't help thinking about it.  I sent the staff at Mr Speakers an email to get their opinion.  I sold off everything of my old rig to help fund the Ether C to start a...

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    I finally received my C Flows after a long wait.  The team at Mr. Speakers must be hard at work because mine were built on October 25th, and I received them on 28th.  The C Flow are different from the original C model I had the opportunity to listen to 5 months ago.  The original was unique, but...

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    You can choose any of those options, and XLR as well.  The MrSpeakers website shows they can come in 6ft and 10ft lengths.

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

      I would definitely like to hear impressions.  Most of my headphone ownership has been without good amps or dacs.       Thanks!

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    I put in my order through a dealer. I received an update from them, and it'll looks like it will arrive after four and a half weeks to get to my dealer. I'm pretty excited for the C Flows. I don't know if I want to go with a Chord Mojo or a separate Liquid Carbon and DAC combo.

      I just put in an order for a Closed Flow through the Source AV! I'll just use the time and research a proper amp, and dac combo for it.

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    Is an Ether Open convertible to a Closed model?  If not, what made people choose one over the other.  Most impressions to be of the open variety?  What strengths does each one have over the other?

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    I feel like I read quite often about a 10khz emphasis.  I feel like it is getting mentioned, but is it really unpleasant?  I had a conversation with a gentleman who stated that it was part of the intentional voicing of the Elear.

    Chord Hugo

    I no longer have a Hugo, but I've had something bugging me for a while.  Do Hugo's come fully charged out of the box? Is there any reason for a box to be missing cables?  Does the documentation come inside packaging or do they come loose?  The reason I ask is because I always wondered if the...

    Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV

    I bought a Hugo a few months ago while demoing Mr Speaker Ether C.  I took it home to use with my HD800, and found it was bright.  After I while I sold the Hugo because it felt unpleasant with the Sennheisers.

    MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs

    How important is the grade of a PCM1704 to the overall sound of a DAC?  I've been researching what features I want in a Dac, and was curious about vintage based chips.
