Audio Note probably makes the best resistors being pure silver. They make up to 2 watt resistors. https://www.audionote.co.uk/resistors Price list. https://d1b89e86-9572-4311-9f80-60009b280608.filesusr.com/ugd/89c24f_6fd2291f0d7b4887b7e2a2351a3794ea.pdf

What size resistors are used in the adapter box. They look like 2 watts but someone out there probably knows for real.

Is anyone in contact with the Viva guy in the picture. Which of his amplifiers are used because many of his models have the exact profile. How about volume, extention of the low end and all around quality.

Could someone clear up a few things on the SR1a for me as I just joined in. 1) Some have said you need over 120 watts to properly run the SR1a but I noticed the Schiit Jotunheim only has less then one watt. The Riviera AIC-10 which I was very impressed with at Munich this year playing MySphere...

I am currently at the Munich show and got to hear the MySphere headphones. During the last few days I have heard so many headphones including the Hifiman tubed electrostatics but in the end my favorite is the MySphere. Without the ear cups it feels very open and free sounding. The Riviera...

Can someone chime in that has heard the Orpheus, Shangdi La and especially the MSB with the SR-009.

Many members are bringing there rigs. Feel free to come to Trinity Lutheran Church 9424 Seventh Ave in Phoenix for a great time. Many of the members have nice can and amps of many styles. You also get to rub elbows with local audiophiles. No cost. No reply needed, just show up if you want at...

There was some very good sound there today. I thank all of you for your time and effort to bring your equipment out to listen to. It was very gracious on all of your parts. See you at the next meeting Earl Zausmer

See everyone Saturday.

See you there. Earl

Count me in and just send an email to me at  earlinarizona@cox.net and I will be there. The last meeting was great.  Off to Can Jam in Denver Friday AM. Earl

There main site has many other artist recorded in a live situation and each has unbelievable clarity and naturalness. Try each artist because they are all so different. There are hours of real audiophile listening here. I have bought many of the songs myself and they sound killer on my iphone5...

Here is another artist with a just perfect recording. The online site lets lets you listen to the entire song. This is a very high end audiophile label as they do 24/192 all the way to DSD and Double DSD resolution levels. Everything is recorded on 2 inch open reel tape. My favorite sounding...

Forgot the URL for the Suzy Bogguss binaural recordings.    http://suzybogguss.com/binaural/recordings.html

WOW did I have a great time and appreciated the generosity of all of you that brought your personal rigs for others to listen to. The tube amp with my custom in ears sounded just perfect. My home hi fi friends thought I was crazy to spend $1100 for a HEIR 8.a custom in ears, but they now look...

See everyone there

I meant mW on the last post and not m amps.  For example the VAMP puts out 150 mW at 32 ohms,   Same question on the Portaphile 627. No specs on there sheets.

Does anyone know how many ma's the sr71b puts out per channel to the headphones? It is not listed in the spec sheets I have been looking at.

I'm in for a meeting in the Phoenix or Scottsdale Area.

Your amps were clearly my favorite at Can Jam 2012.  One thing I remembered and also forgot. I plugged my UE11's into either the Fire or Glass and with the volume at max 1 level the sound was very loud and I could not go any louder. You said to switch the amp. I forgot was the Fire or Glass the...

What is the sensitivity of the Heir Audio 8.a?

I just ordered my new Heir 8.a the other day and can't wait for them to come in.  This is more of a tech question. Does anyone drive there IEM's directly from the output of there DAC and not use a headphone amplifier. My DAC drive amplifiers directly without a pre-amp and does not have a...

Are you planning on doing a comparison on how you feel about the  Heir and the Stax?  What was your reasons for getting the Heir?  What was missing in the Stax that prompted the decision?

Another interesting thing is the ratings numbers of the IEM after changes have been made. Here are 3 URL's. The end results is the Westone ES5 totaled 8 1/2 points, The UE18 got 10 1/2 points, the JH16PRo got 12 points and the Rooth LS8+ got 13 1/2 points.   Go to...

I got Accudio software for my iPhone 5 the other day and it opens up an entirely new level of audiophile sound quality for me. Using my Ultimate Audio UE11's they sound great to begin with but now they are off the scale on every audiophile recording I have. Being a person that listens to lots of...
