Very simple. You remove the case top (four screws) and inside there is a switch to slide across. Replace top. Job done.

Similar to the KGSShv typically 400 (or 450v) and 10mA output stage current. The Carbon has the same voltage but up to twice the current, as per Blue Hawaii and Grounded Grid. This particular KGST has some upgrades I put in after a year, a cascade current source output stage which gives a...

This was my own KGST for a few years. it's good to see that it is still working exactly as it should.

Earlier on this page I was praising the sound of the Voce as the last link in my headphone chain as "balanced, realistic, beautiful tone, sparkle, impact and awesome bass." A few days ago I received the new Ether/Voce earpads from the ever helpful Mark Dolbear of Electromod in the UK. I fitted...

Sometimes you take the sound of your system for granted and need a break to come back with fresh ears. This is what happened to me as I had to move my Blue Hawaii build out of the way and have been using the excellent LTA10e with my SEAS Exotic speakers and dynamic headphones. Today I moved...

Regarding switching between 120/230v ac, the amp is supplied with a 2mm hex key to remove the case top. There is a slide switch for changing the voltage inside on right of transformer.

Well I for one agree with what you say. The trend with most electronics is for smaller, safer and better energy efficiency. That is why my KGBH and KGGG have valve cages and are the smallest single box designs I could make with the published circuit boards. I have also tried to make SS amps...

That is a good question. I had for a while been using a KT150 SET with zero f/b. My initial impression when I first started listening to the Z10e was along the lines of "where did all the warmth go?" I soon realised that the euphonic warmth and thickness of the SET also involved slowness and a...

Haha, sort of! I believe this and a KGST will be my last KG ES amps . Oh correction, I just remembered I have a nearly completed SRX Plus of JimL's design which I should finish and case up when I get around to it.

The inside. Something to point out is that the amplifier boards (upright on the panels either side of the power supply board) are on fabricated heatsinks using individual porous ceramic heatsinks. They are lighter and smaller than traditional finned metal heatsinks and the amplifier case has...

Ah a bit of nostalgia. I got into headphone listening 14 years ago when my wife bought me HD650 for a birthday. They were a revelation at the time. I bought several amplifiers and then decided to make class-A amplifiers for myself. I took them to Head-fi meets and gradually worked through...

A pairing that also works very well is the KGSShv Carbon design from Kevin Gilmore. I have built several and owners who love the Voce agree with me. I am reminded to point this out because I have been without a Carbon for several years. I recently completed a build and was very pleased to...

This gives my view of the comparison; https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mr-speakers-voce-electrostatic-headphone-thread.887301/page-12#post-15414113

I am absolutely happy with my LTA Z10e which I have owned since September 2019 and it is my first choice for most things. I also have access to a very good 20W class A transistor amplifier, a 15W SET with usual transformer output and my KG Blue Hawaii. I recently built large speakers using 8”...

Does one seem to stage better than the other? (Carbon vs Blue Hawaii) Large accurate (3D) stage is a priority for me. All I can say is I would place them along with the even rarer KG Grounded Grid as very fine amplifiers, for me they would be very similar in sound stage but I don't obsess over...

This comment is a late response to your post but offered as my opinion if it helps. I have not heard the Voce on a Carbon but I have heard the Stax SR-007 and 009 on Carbon and KGSShv, BHSE and others. The Carbons I built had all the Golden reference power supplies. (super quiet, stable images...

I have not heard the MZ3 but I would expect that it is a superb amplifier with matching sound quality. Looking at the specs on their website the MZ3 should drive the most sensitive planar magnetics but I think it might struggle with the least sensitive. This is a matter of sensitivity and...

Pleased to hear that davesa. I would like to add an update to my post last year about the LTA Z10e. I have now used the Z10e for about 13 months. It continues to be a delight. I do not see the point in posting another review praising its speed, dynamics, tone, natural sound, low noise...

bagwell359’s comment touches on the original basis for appraising quality audio reproduction; live acoustic music. Electronically created music is a newer art-form and lovers of that might value different aspects of sound reproduction. It seems widely accepted on head-fi that different...

Overall you love the Voce but make a number of observations which are very different to my experience. It sounds like a problem with equipment or recording. I have just listened on my system using the Voce, to some well recorded vocal tracks of a good singer and band. The perception was of a...

It is early days yet and I started with all replay as unchanged in pitch. The object first was just to listen to see what effect the 432EVO had in the system. It was immediately noticeably better. I have now moved on to investigating the effect of pitch changing. The short answer is that it...

Thank you Nicholas for those interesting facts.

It's an Atacama (UK manufacturer)

Hi Cory glad to see you're still on the ball.

Having been using the pc and external HDD for several years I have been moving towards a good server for a while. I considered several and knew that astrostar59 was using the 432EVO. I trust his judgement on sound quality and seeing as their top range model was used as the front end of the...
