    Airpods pro

    I've done something similar, wearing my Airpod Pros under the Sony WH1000XM3 headphones with active noise cancellation enabled on both. This worked really well on the BART train system in the Bay Area, blocking out nearly all of the noise except when going through the tunnel under the Bay (that...

    Airpods pro

    Here's an ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274150236720. These are pretty pricey, but are supposedly made in the USA, unlike other Chinese knockoffs available on ebay. They're available in white or black. I ordered a set in white, should get them Friday. There's a video that shows how to...

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli

    The power supply measures ok: 36V and 1.5A. It's curious that it blinks while the LP is turned on, though. Yeah, I already googled (including a reverse image search) and checked on Amazon and eBay without finding anything similar before asking.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Where can I find one?

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli

    Sadly, my LP has stopped working. I'm not sure whether the problem is with the LP itself or with the stock external power supply. With the external power supply plugged into the LP and the power switch on the LP off, plugging the power supply into a wall outlet causes the LED on the power supply...

    Liquid Platinum Tube Rollers.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I snapped these up. They'll be my first OS tubes, so it should be very interesting to compare against Gold Lions (which are great overall but can sometimes be a little too bright with my Utopia). Unfortunately, the adapters I ordered will take a while to arrive...

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli

    Have you heard it with the Utopia? Although you no longer have the Liquid Carbon, how would you compare the Platinum to it?

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    The Woo Audio stand (HPS-R) is very sturdy and works perfectly with my Utopias. The headphones rest on a metal part that matches the curve of the headband, so there's no need to worry about the stand creating dents in the headband. As a bonus, the Woo Audio stand is less than 1/3 the price of...

    More than we already threw at him? :toilet:

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

    Yes, it does. I'm using my Pulse Infinity as the DAC with a Cavalli Liquid Carbon (v1) as the amp right now, with XLR line-level connections between the two.

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

      There are supposedly different firmware versions for different models, and the firmware installer isn't smart enough to check that the firmware version is compatible with the hardware you're trying to install it on. I think LH Labs is afraid a lot of people would brick their Pulses if they...

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

      I had the same problem, six weeks with no response to my RMA request, and multiple escalation tickets were closed or merged into the orginal RMA ticket. @runningwitt was nice enough to pm me the direct email for the technician, who responded right away. In my case, upgrading the firmware to...

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

      The only internal email address I have is for Gina. I tried sending an email to her, but the email was simply redirected to the ticket system, and the ticket was closed with no response.     I promised in my latest escalation ticket to continue pestering them every week until they...

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

      Good for you! That's extremely rare these days.   I received my Pulse Infinity 1.0 in July 2015 (much earlier than some folks here, I know). Unfortunately, on Friday the 13th in January, it died and hasn't worked since. I filed a ticket for an RMA the following Monday, and there's been...

    LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

      I'm in the same boat. I've had a ticket open for 11 days now trying to get my Pulse X Infinity repaired, with zero response after the automated acknowledgement. I'm using a GO2A Infinity instead for now, but I don't have a suitable balanced cable to connect to my Cavalli Liquid Carbon, and...

    CES 2017: MQA announces TIDAL Masters, and more

      This may not be true for all MQA files. The MQA remastering process supposedly uses "deblurring" where possible to compensate for time domain inaccuracies introduced by the specific A/D converter known to be used in the original recording chain.  ...

    CES 2017: MQA announces TIDAL Masters, and more

      There are definitely more albums besides those shown in "What's New". For example, "What's New" has "Turn Blue" by the Black Keys and "This Is All Yours" by alt-J. However, there are other albums available by both artists in the Master format. On the Windows desktop client, there are two...

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

      Well, I'm screaming now in response to the Indiegogo update sent today about the HPA. I'm waiting on both an HPA SS and an HPA Tube, originally perked in February 2015, so at least it was good to finally hear something about them after more than 3 months since the last update.   Here's the...

    LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread

      I use my iPhone 6S+ to V2+ Infinity to JH Audio Roxannes balanced. Although balanced mode is totally worth it for the sound quality, the Roxannes are very sensitive. The steps in the iOS 9 volume control are far too big with this setup, so I researched app options for iOS and settled on...

      Did you notice a significant difference with the HiFi Tuning fuse, and did you replace the fuse in your Pulse Xfi as well?

    LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread

    No question, there have been delays and problems with the V2/V2+, and far worse delays and problems with the Pulse, compounded by frustrating and annoying communication, marketing, and pricing issues with LH Labs. All of those have tainted the overall user experience. Nevertheless, the sound...
