Yes it is.

Excellent buyer! Clear communication and prompt payment. Will gladly do business again!

Drayton was polite and communicative. He was very straightforward and understanding right from the beginning. Also a very passionate audio lover, and it was a lot of fun talking with him about headphones. Hope this fabulous system will serve him well!

Purchased 3 months ago in China from an authorized dealer. Also purchased a leather protection case for it. Only used a handful times. This is the second version of xd05bal, with a deep green color that seems only available in china. I don’t know why they brand it differently from what’s in...

Hi folks, I have listed my Nautilus for sale if anyone is interested. About to travel for a long period so I guess someone else can enjoy this beast more. https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/ampsandsound-nautilus.62359/

Ampsandsound Nautilus Rev1. Original price is $9200. One of the best sounding tube amps. One of the most seductive mid-range for all of TOTL amps. The reason I'm selling is I spend more time nowadays with Susvara on a speaker chain, and I am also about to move so I'm making space. I haven't...

I'm just going to copy here my notes of how Diana MR sounds across a bunch of portable devices. Translated from another language so some phrases may feel a little out of place.

Hugo2 silver. Functions flawlessly. Very detailed sound. I don't use it much nowadays but it's a fantastic on-the-go unit. Price include shipping within CONUS but not fee. If using Paypal G&S please add 3% fee. No trade please.

Re-open for sale. Thanks!

It's a funny thing. When I took the cable to canjam to demo gears, a few folks were like "dang, can I see that cable" and they would just hold it in their hands and feel its weight, with disbelief in their eyes.

Superconductor cable is a nice and noticeable improvement over stock for 1266. I used it for about a year. But I don't like that they don't disclose what materials are actually in the cable. Other high end cables you may consider is Double Helix and Norne Audio. You can configure your spec (e.g...

I have a 17.3 awg copper from Trevor, what he called "Vykari Copper". It's thiiiick.

That's right. Apparently you can configure that cable to make it surpass chimera. I would love to hear some impressions, but I myself should receive one soon!

The legendary Aperio. If you are looking at this listing, you probably know what it is. There are a ton of reviews online which I will not bore you here. I have owned this unit for about a year. I used it only occasionally, because I have so many headphones and not a lot of time to listen. The...

Prompt payment and good communication. Will do business again!

Another thought after seeing the recent pages of amp, cable, and HE discussions - If you like Susvara's sound and want a slightly different/better variant, consider Mod House Tungsten. That thing is insane. It's harder to drive than Susvara, but out of all the TOTL headphones I tried (pretty...

I have heard HE1 and my at home chain is May + WA33 as pre or Primaluna evo 400 as pre into AHB2s for Susvara. IMO, HE1 is not as exciting or wide or detailed as Susvara. When you are used to Susvara on a quality chain, HE1 actually falls behind in QUITE a few categories. However, HE1 does have...

23r is not in the same league as AIC-10. 23r is warm and veiled, and if you dig that sound, it may be good for you. But if you are looking for fullness, energy, bass, details, AIC-10 is a LOT better. Zahl hm is between AIC-10 and 23r, closer on the AIC-10 end. There are also wa33, bliss, envy...

I have heard DHC Chimera with Susvara. It is very good. Noticeably better details and bass than a thick copper Norne. Chimera is very expensive tho. I'm chatting with Trevor about a cable that'd be at least Chimera level but way less costly. But if I were to offer suggestions on your chain...

Selling my Focal Utopia OG. I simply have too many headphones and those are not getting used much. The headphones are in great condition, no scratches or blemishes. Works perfectly. The cable is 1/4" inch. The box has been in storage and the leather started to peel off. The glue behind the box...

I wrote a comparison just a few pages back. Utopia is more detailed and textured. Mr is smoother.

Yeah of course you can compare. They are just very different. Susvara on speaker amp: is brighter, airier, more detailed, and has wider soundstage. MR is thicker and warmer. Soundstage is not as wide but I found its 3d imaging quite fun and addictive.

Nice. I'm about to travel & work for a few months around the world and my plan is to take with me the MR with xd05 pro. I compared this combo against quite a few popular portable chains and I am quite happy with what it's capable of.

I spend a few minutes today with MR and Utopia 2018 on Nautilus. 1. MR is significantly harder to drive than Utopia. For Utopia, I can get fairly loud listening vol at 2-3 clock on knob, for MR, I had to go to 5 clock. At least on the knob, that's like 20% diff. 2. Utopia quite a bit more...
