Me and Mr.Jude. Such a joy attending the event 🤩🤩🤩 I'm an electrostatic headphone hardcore fan, so yeah, I'm most impressed by the Corina + Z10e setup and the HE-1 system.

Hi everyone, I booked my flight to Singapore next weekend. And this is my 1st Canjam. Just two questions: 1- Can I purchase the Canjam tickets at the hotel? Or I have to book it prior to the event? 2- I have the Stax SR-X9000, can I bring it to the event and try it with other electrostatic...

This is a great chance to get one of the best sounding headphones out there without having to wait several months. I already received mine, if not, I'll take this in a heartbeat.

It's shootout time, Hifiman Susvara vs the new born Stax SR-X9000 and its brother SR-009S :D :D

My X9000 unboxing video. The sound of the X9k is much more than worth the waiting time :D :D

Just out of curiosity, for those who are unlucky and have had the channel imbalance for the X9000, what headamps are you guys using? I've read somewhere that some specific electrostatic headamps don't have some kind of "ballasts for the bias supply", there for it will be more likely to arc the...

How many hours did you find your Spring 3 have a "breakthrough" in sound quality? I'm burning mine for around 60 hours but no significant change yet. It sounded great out of the box.

Yes, the most obvious thing that I've noticed when coming from Spring 1 to Spring 3 is that how "tighter" the sound is. The Spring 1 is no doubt wonderful, but it sounds somewhat "loose" and much softer compared to Spring 3.

Hi everyone, I'm more thrilled to join the club with my Spring 3 DAC Level 2. I've been enjoying my Spring 1 from 2018. I'm using Singxer SU-6 feeding I2S to the Holo. Just a couple of questions: 1- I don't see the "Oversampling Mode", which I have on my Spring 1, does the new Spring 3 DAC...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a Bottlehead Mainline headamp, v1.1 is preferable. Perfect functional is the only requirement. Shoot me a PM if you're selling one. Thank you in advance! Kratos.

Just to let you guys know, there will be a 16% discount for nearly ALL products in Bottlehead in one day only - 29th Feb. I doubt there won't be a better time to get the fantastic budget Crack amp or the marvelous Mainline amp.   http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=8903.0   Happy shopping!

Hi Whirlwind,   Thank you very much! My setup really does sound absolutely wonderful, especially when it comes to Vocals, Jazz, Acoustic or other slow music.   You're correct about the 5998. I'm using a 5998 and the "Holy Grail" 12AU7 - the Amperex 7316 early 50's long plate "D" getter in...

Vocals at its best   

Hi Oskari,   The particular my Amperex 7316 has ALL the codes on the tubes, all the codes were printed on different places on the glass. But you should stick with the "Ct0" code only.   Cheers, Kratos.

Hi DDDmanian,   I actually just searched the price of the tube I have, and I was...speechless. These 7316s cost a small fortune!! And I'll definitely not tell my audiophile friend (who I bought my tube) the actual value of the tube he sold to me    Warm regards, Kratos.   Hi...

Hi FunyunBreath,   Thank you for your offer, unfortunately, I gave my CV4003 to another audiophile friend.   Cheers.       Hi guys,   I'm just so glad that you guys gave me some really great advice and ideas. Thank you so much for that!   And I'm very happy to confirm that I...

Hi guys,   I found something really interesting with the tube rolling for the Crack yesterday.   Yesterday evening, I came over an audiophile friend of mine to listen to his "hi-end" speaker system. Then he asked me what setup I'm using at home, and I replied that I'm in love with the...

Hi Sonic Defender,   Thanks for your reply. You really got a point here.   As for the USB input, I actually did an A/B test for myself, with my own system, my own music - which I'm very familiar with. And I found out the differences between using the USB input and Coaxial input were pretty...

Hi karmanfamily,   Thanks for your reply. I figured how to configure the volume setting in fixed mode. It was much easier than I initially thought.   BTW, I also have some questions which I couldn't find the answers:   - Is there any way to know which firmware version M51s are using?   -...

Hi guys,   I just bought a NAD M51 here. And I have a question:   As far as I've read, the M51 has 2 volume settings: fixed and variable. I initially thought that the fixed volume can be enabled in ALL volume steps available (i.e -10, -9, -8db...). But when I set my M51 to fixed setting, the...

  I just returned home after a long week traveling for work, turned on the beloved Crack, plugged the HD650 in and listened to all my sweet music....   Oh man, I actually forgot how addictive the music coming from the Crack + HD650 combo can be. When I listen to my setup, I no longer care...
