I wanted to share with you all that the LTA MZ2 amp breathed some no life in my Quad ERA-1s! It’s a really good pairing which is capable of producing holographic imaging on tracks where the spatial information is there. I’d been using my Quads with some budget solid state desktop amps and...

Hey all, with Mojo Audio no longer modding the MZ2, does anyone know of other skilled engineers/techs who will replace the Alps pot with a Goldpoint stepped attenuator for the MZ2? In his MZ2 mod thread on headfi, Ben of Mojo Audio describes what is involved with this mod, and it’s definitely...

A sapphire 4 (not sure which minor version) was at the Bay Area Audio Enclave hificon meet today in San Jose. I completely concur with the person who wrote “natural, clean, airy, and revealing recording space like nothing else I've heard.”. I used this unit as a reference amp to compare...

I have spent the last year contentedly enjoying my MZ2 with 1957 Sylvania 12SN7GT with black T plates and RCA 6201with black plates (dates unknown). The RCA 6201s are creamier in the mids than the Syl 12AT7WA grey plates that LTA supplied, which I love, and I didn’t feel the need to keep...

Thanks for sharing — my son’s name is Milo, so I’m already partial to it 😀

Last month I had the opportunity to live with the Gruve in my home for about a week while a unit was on tour. I therefore thought I’d share my listening impressions of it, in case others find them helpful. I set up a level matched rig using same source, dual output into 2 DACs, each going into...

If you’re interested in a closed back set of cans that doesn’t pressurize at all, the Fostex TH/TR series and it’s Denon and EMU siblings are often called “semi open” because they let substantially more air move back and forth than a well sealed closed back line the PM3. And they manage to do...

Excellent repair job (and much appreciated the regular comms regarding progress). Highly recommended!

Thank you @Snake0IL415 for performing this repair, explaining your approach at the start, and keeping me informed throughout including sending me pics of the disassembly. You’re an asset to our community. Truly awesome!

See the link in my post

@unuselessness thanks, please post again with your experience. @Snake0IL415 pm sent

Looking for someone to repair a busted yoke that attaches one of the cups to the headband. I’ll provide the necessary replacement part. Details including pics can be found at https://www.head-fi.org/threads/looking-for-assistance-from-diyer-in-oakland-east-bay.966325/

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll cross post to this thread

Thanks @msing539 , sure, I’ll send them to one of you, if there is an offeror! Here are a few pics them show what’s going on, as well as the parts diagram for the Th-900 (which I understand has the same yoke/headband construction), and finally links showing the yoke and the pins (called...

OP, how did you end up removing the hanger/yoke from the plastic ring it attaches to, or was that not necessary for your fix? I have a broken yoke, and I ordered the replacement part from fullcompass, but I can’t figure out how to remove the remainder of the old yoke from the cup. The yokes are...

Hello, is there anyone in the East Bay who can assist me with replacing a busted yoke for my Fostex FH-X00? I got replacement yoke from Fostex’ importer but need help with the installation. I’m more than willing to compensate for your time!

Thanks again for planning this, @DimitriSF!

Thanks Dimitri! Either date is good for me.

@DimitriSF any details yet?

I can’t swear that the iPhone 13’s lightning works the same as lightning on models past, but historically the CCK lightning to USB adapter was the only way to get 24/192 audio playback from an iphone. I don’t know why the limitation. I use a lightning to usb cable to connect my iPhone 11 to car...

@DimitriSF great explanation! Working off of your public library idea, the Rockridge branch of Oakland Public Library is in a nice neighborhood, BART access, has both limited on-site and easy street parking, and has a meeting room with a 94 person capacity...
