I haven’t seen many people share their experiences about PS1000 + Cary Xciter amp combo on headfi. Since I find this combination to be extraordinary and worth recommending therefore I decided to write a little bit about my first impression with them as well as the breaking-in roller coaster that...

Now that I have been using Apuresound cable for few months, I prefer Apuresound ER-4P than S by a lot. I find that Apuresound in the ER-4P configuration to have a much more organic, fuller and punchier bigger bass especially when being paired to predator. Midrange is super sweet too. The...

I'm currently using Vcap but looking for something with USB out or other means of digital out so it could feed Predator and Pico? Predator and Pico sound so good from its DAC.

I have been using Ultrasone Edition 9 since July 2007, experimented with different combinations possible. I believe I have passed that Hype New Toy Syndrome. So my comments will be more genuine, fair, and square. Basically I find that Ultrasone Edition 9 is indeed an A:MAZING CAN. It is the...

I just wanted to post some impressions on Freeway 2 since I couldn’t find any on headfi. I thought I would write a little bit of comments about it since I believe it’s to be such a great device. I was using Audigy 2 NX prior to Freeway 2. Well, my freeway 2 has been burning in for over a...

I bought an ALO Vcap portable. But I have a question. I understand that V-Cap is a capacitor that is used for those who own an iMOD. Why an iMOD must go through a capacitor first before going into any amp? Also I have tried to use a portable CD player and use its headphone out into V-Cap and...

I really don't know which section is the most appropriate for this post. Moderator, please freely move my post to a more suitable section. Anyhow, I thought I would like to post my ultimate portable gear. I find my current portable setup has great TUBE sound yet it's still in a portable...

I bought many ALO iMOD cables vampire, superkind, supercotton, Portable V-Cap etc. I have been burning in all the cables using my iMOD 5.5G. RedWine website stated that it requires at least 200hrs burned-in for Black Gate NX-Hi-Q to sound their best. I have done 200hrs for each cable. V-Cap is...

You can pair them with LISA III. It sounded great, deep warm bass, and the high is no longer harsh, the midrange is no longer sharp sounding or etchy. For the very first time over 6 months I'm finally able to enjoy back my Sensaphonics 2X-S. Thanks to LISA III.

I'm looking for a great computer source. I find that HagUSB is only about USD$100 and Freeway 2 like USD$600.- Does anyone have listened to both to compare? Does Freeway 2 sound 6x better? Does it justify the cost? I will be using them with m902 DAC.

ok, I just found out today, it's my new finding, I'm not sure why this happens. Usually I listen to my home gear using my laptop connected to external Audigy NX and then digital out to m902, using m902 internal DAC, it's out to EMP then headphones. But I found today that by replacing my...

I'm so sad, I have been burning in my hornet close to 200hrs now, and I found out today that my Hornet couldn't charge batteries anymore. Anyone experienced similar event? I guess I have to send in the amp back to Ray and without Hornet.

W5000 by default has a very coloured midrange. EMP makes it smooth and less exciting, also, it makes W5000 becomes awefully colored in the midrange area. Although it's fun to listen to such signature with certain type of music. W5000 with M902 is lacking of bass. too ruler flat, Nasty...

Does anyone else own GS1000 with m902 here? I think it's such a great match. It's very detailed, transparent, open big soundstage, deep tight bass, and most importantly, no longer sucked out midrange nor sibilance like many experienced with their GS1000. m902 brings the excitement in GS1000...

Since I'm planning to visit LA, I was just wondering any places headphone related worth a visit in LA?

Anyone has tried to use Triple.Fi with Etymotic foamies? Just remove the plastic tubes inside the foamies and then shove the foamies into the Triple.Fi. It tamed the high a little bit and sweeten or thicken the midrange. Quite a nice sound representation. Plus, you get the added isolation as a...

Well, after listening to both Cans, and swapping between EMP and M902 for a while now. I concluded that I prefer: 1. GRADO GS-1000 from m902 (Rich, Fast, transient, Texture, Clean, focused, details, blackly and cleanly background, Amazing Timber) 2. My Sennheiser HD650 from Earmax Pro(Nice...

I finally have a chance to compare between EarMax Pro Tube and Grace M902 Solid State. Bottomline, it's really very hard for me to choose between Earmax Pro and M902. Some songs I prefer EarMax Pro, others I prefer M902. It's simply crazy I think. Especially when I'm selecting shuffle in the...

It has been 2 years since Michael Grace released m902. Does anybody know Grace new development that might replace m902 soon? any Sneak peeks Perhaps New DAC that could beat DAC1 or Bel Canto perhaps. .)

Ever since I received my supermacro LE, my etymotic has been out of the drawer, Sensaphonics and ES2 have been in the drawer. I feel like the tonal balance and musicality of SMLE Ety are much better than ES2 nor Sensaphonics. Very lush, the high is sparkling, warm. very addicting!!

I thought I would like to write a little bit about my personal experience with ES2 and Sensaphonics. Hopefully, this would be beneficial for everyone. It has been a few years since I used Sensaphonics. It has been such a great companion. I just received my ES2 a few days ago, so I thought this...

I thought we already have a very advanced technology now. Why couldn't they make tubes which are more superior in sound quality compared to the ancient ones? What seems to be the problem?

Sorry I thought, I was just wondering, since many people are crazy about them, why it's rated only 3 in Headroom. Any comments? Speaking of which I have ordered one for myself today, I'm just waiting for it to be delivered to me.

I own HIghC OPA627 supermacro IV max. But today I changed the opamps to SA5534: Laid back and Sweetness like SR-71 but with better bass control. OPA227: Woah! I feel like I'm listening to SR-71 with blurry weak bass. OPA627: A bit on the analytical side. Does anybody find the same thing?

I thought I would share with you my experience with Sensaphonics fitting. I received a brand new Sensaphonics last week. After using it for over 1 hour, My outer left ear felt sore. The longer I wore it, the more pain I was experiencing. The right ear felt perfect, very comfortable. I thought...
