I use the Ifi tube buffer to give me the smoothness and richness that helps me really enjoy this amp. Without the tube buffer, it can sound kind of clinical.

Is this still available?

I was not getting sound out of the 2.5 plug on my xcan. Ifi fixed it in a timely manner. Great customer service.

Although probably not considered a mod or maybe a tweek, I have had good results with this little device I stumbled on at amazon. Celidian Signal 0030 - Audiophile Audio Enhancement Device. It expands the sound, higher and wider sound stage. It works great with headphones or even in the car with...

What's the difference between the AQ connectors vs Hifiman connectors? Don't they both fit the 1More?

I have been using Brainwavz hybrid pads for the past week, they are very comfortable.

I returned mine after a few days. Even after burning in for about 50 hours, it still sounded like pillows were preventing the music from coming through. Absolutely no treble at all, it even made my ultrasone 780s sound dark. After reading the positive reviews, I am now convinced mine was...

I just got married, so I can't get it right away. But rest assured, I am salivating and will purchase at the first opportunity. I have had Mad Dogs, Alphas, Primes, and now Ether Flow open and have loved the sound signature of MrSpeakers cans from the first pair onward. When we were dating, my...

Yes, it's the company recommended by Cavalli. My transaction with them went smoothly. I emailed my issue to them, they wrote back with pricing and procedures. I received the serviced amp back within 2 weeks.

------------------ Mine did the same thing. I sent it to Avenson Audio for repairs. $140 bucks. I like the LCv1 too much to let it die without a fight. It works like a dream now. I use it everyday for at least 3-4 hours at a time.

I was able to get the wywires cable when there was a sale going on, so I paid around 400ish. To me it is a no doubt, definitive, (whatever superlative you want to use) upgrade. As others have said before, getting the cable, or interconnect that syncs with your system is like upgrading all of...

I use the Wywires Platinum with my open Ether Flows and they sound phenomenal. Highly recommended.

My primes are listed for sale.

Of the cables mentioned, I can only speak to the Wywires Platinum. I have said elsewhere, I consider this to be my endgame cable. It has the characteristics you are looking for and handily beats my Norne Draug 2c for transparency and realism (if that can be used as an audio term). I use the...

I received my Wywires Platinum in less than a week after ordering.

The Draug 2c is an excellent cable.  But I find myself using the Wywires Platinum more, and consider the Platinum my endgame cable. It sounded great with the open Ether and is making me appreciate my Primes more now that I am waiting on my Ether Flow upgrade. I am preparing my mind to be blown...

Great news. I'm at one week and counting....    After I get my upgrade back, it will be time to start saving for the AEON. This hobby never ends...

I said Green, but Evergreen is the correct name. Forest and Evergreen are the same cable, different connections. Anyway, I use Evergreen RCA on TV/DVD connections to receivers and Evergreen 3.5 cord in the car to connect DAP. I am very pleased with the price/performance of these $35 cables. YMMV.

I have not tried the Tower series, but I have replaced nearly all of the rca cables in my house with Forest/Green cables. Vast improvement over the cheap stock cables. After I noticed the improvement made by the Forest cables, I jumped straight to Carbon/Sydney for my headphone dac and amp...

Fingers crossed...

Any idea when the next folks in line for the upgrade will be chosen?

I ordered in September and received in December. Although it took awhile, Trevor responded to all of my emails and PMs when I was getting antsy and wondering about the status of my order. I would order from Norne Audio again. As a matter of fact, I'm really curious how the Silvergarde would...

I received the Draug 2c for my open Ethers a few weeks ago, and it is definitely worth the wait. Beautiful craftsmanship and big step above the DUM cable (which I like).

@MattTCG What would you say the major differences are between the Draug v2c and Mrspeakers DUM cable?
