Unit is in flawless condition. Comes with remote and power cord in original box. I am the original owner and bought the unit in 2018. I loved it so much I recently upgraded to the 430HA, this will get you 80-85% of the way there in performance. Design features Inputs include 1 single-ended on...

Selling my Focal Kanta 2 Speakers. These have been such an excellent pair of speakers. Upgraded to Sopra 2 which is my reason for selling. Speakers have been taken well care of in a smoke, pet, and child free home. Also not exposed to sun. I am the original owner and have the original boxes and...

Focal Elex in excellent shape no scuffs, marks, or any real sign of wear. Original box, cables, and pads. The pads and cables I hardly used. Switched them for Dekoni pads and a custom cable soon after purchase [Dekoni Pads and Custom Cable not included]. Pads have been in the dekoni box for...

Thanks, just put my order in :beerchug:

Does the pre-order have a limited quantity or end date attached to it?

I was looking forward to going this year, but I picked the wrong day to get married. Hopefully will be there at ZMF III

I guess my question more specifically is ignoring the input tube debate do power tubes make a difference on their own? Could you in theory have an amp (tube or solid state) that accepts some form or external DIN connection sound different if it were to be plugged into a Tube/SS power source? Is...

Does having a tube output stage make an audible difference? Woo Audio has separate tubed power supplies, some tube amps I've seen only have tube input stages as in the Ayon HA-3 and PS Audio BHK 300. Paul McGowan of PS Audio himself said tube output stages suck. But a lot of companies still...

What about the 820? Not my favorite, but neither is the 800, or 800S. Same with the 660 and 650. If you look at the world of high end gear there aren't a lot of releases YoY (except for HifiMan). I think there are two reasons for that 1. High end gear takes a long time to R&D for improvements...

How has the DAC3 been as a standalone DAC? Any impressions?

Best of Show: Borresen 05 with Aavik Amps (Next Level AV) - Superb imaging, clarity, dynamics, and thumping bass power from these speakers. I was impressed by the Raidho 2.1 last year and Borresen continues to impress. Heard a live recording from an artist invited to record a CD for Borresen...

Awesome meet, loved the DAVE -> Headtrip -> Abyss 1266 Phi TC combo. The RME DAC was mesmerizing. Love the visualization of the music, but think it's better as a pure DAC than an amp/dac combo. Would be interested to hear it in a speaker setup. Thanks again to F1 and Jamie for hosting the event!

Can anyone provide me with the wiring diagram for the 8ohm configuration on the S.E.X 2.1 output transformers? I want to try it out since I can't turn the knob very much on my LCD 2. I have mine wired at 32 ohm right now but in over a years time I've lost the CD.

I built the s.e.x as my first diy and I got it the first try. It is kinda scary when you first plug it in but as long as you just go over your work again you'll most likely be successful. Like doc said, patience is key. I took 3 days to build the main my and then installed the c4s a few days later.

  How odd, I get a little hiss when I turn the amp past 3/4th but I can't hear anything on my LCD's at comfortable listening volume. I'm feeding it from a cheap Fiio D03K but I'm going to upgrade soon. I haven't had a chance to test my LCD with other amps so I can't really say whether the SEX...

the HE-560 is coming in March   The LCD 2 is a great match with the S.E.X. The warmness really isn't an issue for me, but I tend to like it a little bassy (thats why I own an LCD-2 I guess). I noticed with my HE-400 and LCD that the SEX puts vocals forward. I really like with the LCD since...

Damn from price history it looked like a declining trend like the T1 and I waited on it. Looks like I should have forgone my budget for a minute. Oh well maybe in a few years

The HD 800 has been on a price drop for the last month on Amazon, currently sitting at $889. Anyone have any idea whats going on here?

SELF-REALIZATION POST     When I moved from a XB-700 to a HE-400 I really didn't hear a big difference. I thought the HE-400 was a good headphone but I thought it wasn't a large improvement over the XB700. I went back to the XB-700 about 3 weeks later and oh my god; it sounded abysmal...

I've heard that all 6DN7's are the same so there's no advantage of tube rolling at all on the S.E.X. Is this true?

Oh I assumed it did to all purchases. I wasn't aware there were exceptions. Good to know. Sorry for your misfortune though
