Love the sound the Chord Hugo TT and a pair of Focal Elear produces - listening to a new album and some times I really have to remove to headphones just to see if the sounds are from the music or inside my house - its so real... and the smile is so big...   Preparing for the coming week is...

Quote:   Hi,   I Forgot to get back to you guys. It was just two of the tubes that needed to be replaced. And it has been playing nicely since then :)

Thanks, I only had it switched to headphones.   I took it to the repair shop earlier today and I should have an answer Friday at the latest, hope its not something serious...   Ill let you know how it turns out.   So far I can only comment on the look, and the Leben cs300xs is really...

Thanks, Ill go to the repair shop today, and Yea I also thought that if the switch is set to phones then there is no need to connect speakers, as the current is then directed to the Phone, Thanks

Thanks, Ill Check a different rca. The seller now says its my fault for using the amp without speaker attached because that destroys the amp, is that right. I only had it switched to headphone. I do think that a lot of you Guys use it as an amp to your headphones only?

Hi Project86, will you post your review in this thread, or start a new one?

Thanks, I dont have any tools that fit the screws on top of it, so I have to take it to the repair shop tomorrow, so much for a good start with the leben :(   After I pressed the jack gentle to the side and let go, It actually played for like 15 min and the volume then went down again and...

I tried with some other phones as well,   I just tried to push the input jack a little to the side while it was playing and most of the sound returned, if I let go the volume goes down and the sound sounds distant. So maybe the input jack is loose.

Quote: I don't think its because of me not liking the EL mullard sound, however I will look into tube rolling later on :)   Its more that the sound disappeared, like how it could sound if the headphones wasnt plugged in all the way, or something like that. hmmm

Hi,   My headphones are okay, I don't have any speakers, so I cant comment on the normal speaker outputs.

Hi Guys,   I just got my leben cs300xs today, but there is a problem with the headphone out.   When I started it up, it sounded like there was something loose in the headphone out. There were noise when I touched the headphone cable, then after a little while most of the sound...

Great looking forward to your findings :)

Thanks Guys :)

Fantastic looking forward to it :) sooo many new interesting dacs in the 1k range...

Anyone got their Concero hd yet :)

Hi all, I have a leben cs300xs coming next week with the sovtek tubes. I am complete new to tubes and have been reading through all the post, and I will prolly try som mullards or the setup skylab suggested. But how many of each tubes do I need. Is it 2 * 3 or 4 of one kind and 2 of another...

Great looking forward to it :)

  Hi Skylab, will you compare it to your Leben, would be very interesting :)

MrCasey: Do you have more comments on the Hilo vs. the DA8 now that you have spend some more time with them? Thanks

Hi Guys, can you tell how long it takes to recharge and is there a woltage switch or is there differentieret versions for The Staten and Europe :)

The sotm sdp-1000 also looks nice and should be in the same league as the Vega :) But also 2.5 the price of the da08 And Thanks mojolo for the reply, so many nice dacs/amps around :d

How would you say that the soloist compare with thebuild in amp of the da08, Thanks

Hi all, Thanks for the input so far, any more reflections on how it compare to the anedio d2?

  Thanks for the reply. I think I bought the Zodiac at the same time as you, and also had a welborne psu made for it, liked it but sold all my gear to finance a new car. Now with all the great impressions the biggest question is whether to make the jump on the DA8 or wait for the D8, which...

Sounds so promising :-) . Have any compared it to the antelope zodiac plus? And looking forward to the impressions with the he-500 :-D
