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?- NWRain

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.- NWRain

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...- NWRain

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...- NWRain

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?- NWRain

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...- NWRain

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...- NWRain

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.- NWRain

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.- NWRain

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...- NWRain
