Hi folks,   First, it is true that I am in possession of both the Balancing Act and the Woo Audio 5 (maxxed out version).  However, live over the past 6 months have been difficult for me so I basically have no time on this hobby.  Which means....   My Balancing Act (300B/PX4 version)...

  Quote:   Hello,   Can you shed light on how much the SAA umbilical is going to cost ?  This does not seem to be a standard product of SAA yet ?   Thanks, F. Lo  

  Quote: What I don't get is what does Ruthenium mean to the sonic performance of the Edition 10 ?  There is no information about its audio properties (damping, resonance, ...etc.) so I am wondering what makes Ultrasone pick this material.  From all I read, it is like making something...

Would be good to have the opportunity to hold one in hand and listen before making a decision.   For US$3,200 this is almost insane price and many who has this budget would probably go for electrostatic setup ?   For me, there is absolute no hurry.  I know there are a few people who feel...

Jason,   First of all, best wishes to this venture and I hope Schiit is here to stay.   I quite like what is said on your page about the Valhalla, and will be ordering one as soon as your 220V 50Hz version has some good delivery forecast.   Please keep us updated on the production...

Got my shipping notice that mine will be shipped on 19th June 2010.     Now I see light ....   F. Lo

Quote: I emailed Audeze via is contact form on the website a few days ago but then I receive no reply.     So, even if I would like to buy one, I am not sure where is the best place to start.   F. Lo

Congratulations CapQ.  I am sure the V200 will keep you contended for a long while.  At that price point it doesn't have a lot of competitors in my opinion.   Enjoy :)   F. Lo

Congratulations to a world class event, and my envy to every one who can make it.   Thanks for all the photos and impressions.     The Rudistor headphone is interesting and wonder if any one has more impressions to share ?    I did plan to go at the beginning of this year but soon...

Read about this and find it quite interesting.  However, if JH is to bypass or remove the passive cross-over in existing JH13, would that also mean the custom ear mould will be damaged as well - meaning I will need to send it a new mould for the modification ?   Just want to know how this is...

May I inquire what is the best price to get a new DAC202 ? Any direction and hints would be most helpful. I am so tempted that I would look seriously getting one while trying to have 2 meals per day F. Lo

Here is a recent review on the DAC202. It is written in Chinese but the photos are of very high quality. Essentially, the reviewer said the DAC202 is one big step from the Minerva. The quality of the build-in headphone amp is in the same class as the SPL Phonitor, though slightly different...

Would be interested to know how the AES/SPDIF part of the DAC202 performs compared to other "traditional" DACs. BTW, will I benefit from the DAC202 if I have only .wav files in my computer ? Any sharing would be most helpful. F. Lo

I am lucky. Just get a confirmation about cancellation of my order. F. Lo

Mine is bought from a local dealer back in Dec 2009 and it has the new face plate. So, it guess the new design must have been some 4 - 5 months old already. F. Lo

Sounds quite expensive for the feature set. Wondering how it can differentiate itself sonically in the high-end headphone market. Awaiting impressions from some brave souls. F. Lo

I too got the email from the dealer that mine has arrived. Thought we were on the same batch. I ordered the balanced input version with ELMA stepper. Unfortunately I won't be picking up until week end. F. Lo
