LH Labs' gorgeous Vi Dac ( Tube + SS outputs )
I think that there surely must be a time when we can just finally sit and wait quietly... where yelling is no longer going to gain anything. I seriously have a four year old who understands this better than several on this thread. I am very seriously 'invested' in this project. About as all-in...- CaptainCB

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Thanks for the VERY REAL reply isquirrel. i think it truly de estates the sub-industry to have pseudo science cloud what could be a very solid contribution to the hobby, art, and engineering of this "audiophile" world. I have no problem with giving into the "feel" of things. There is always an...- CaptainCB

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Thanks for the continued replies. Including Vinh from Dana cables. I think that my main concern about using adapters is this... Buying in completely to the benefits of making sure that a cable is everything you want... And the maker has minimized so many potentials for negative influences on...- CaptainCB

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Thanks for the input guys. Not familiar with Dana cables. Will research a bit. My current high end cable is terminated with audeze connectors. I really wanna be able to A/B test that with the new cables. Just for personal gratification. I do not believe myself to be in the league of most of u...- CaptainCB

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
For those of you guys that are comparing the various headphones (abyss, focal, audeze) with various cables (dhc prion or complement/spore, superconductor)... How are you swapping the cables between headphones? Using adapters from dhc? Or are the cables completely dedicated to the cans? I ask...- CaptainCB

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I'm now another week or two into enjoying this Yggdrasil. I still remain a bit blown away by how my listening enjoyment jumped again with this added. I see that there is some commentary about one headphone vs another being better or worse with this DAC. I know I'm a noob in the headphone...- CaptainCB

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I'm super new to the headphone game... but I have had my Yggdrasil installed and powered up for about a week or two now... Didn't know what i was getting myself into. I was previously using the built in Burr-Brown DAC in my Burson Conductor SL. Was very happy with that. But with the switch...- CaptainCB

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
NZtechfreak - I understand your first chain... but the second one looks like it's reducing the questyle to a preamp only. Using a separate power amp to drive the HE-6... or speakers. What am I missing?- CaptainCB

Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite
That definitely helps... in two ways. It makes me realize that there isn't as much of a setup nightmare as I imagined. And it helps push me to get one even sooner!! haha I was sent a gorgeous pic of a setup from a Woo customer. Had a DaVinci DAC feeding into the Woo 234's and then into some...- CaptainCB

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
Gotcha Lars. I do understand the part about them being separate amps. What I can't get is how to dial in the volume of two separate amps. Is it controlled by one preamp? Or one source unit like a DAC? And you set the amps at what sounds balanced to you and then the master volume is in the device...- CaptainCB

Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite
Could any of the Monoblock 234 owners comment on the ease of setup... as well as swapping between headphones? I happily view this as being in the category of "the last tube amp you will ever need to buy"... but have never owned a monoblock anything. Trying to get my head wrapped around this...- CaptainCB

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
Thanks Lars I am definitely way far away from modifying headphones. And the "block" reference does make sense considering what HappyCamper was explaining that he was doing with those amps. Seems like it would be difficult to get that setup to truly be balanced... tweaking two individual...- CaptainCB

LH Labs' gorgeous Vi Dac ( Tube + SS outputs )
I am one of those feeling lost souls who contributed during the first go round. Got the Geek Soul Tube. Felt like I could believe in these guys. Hope I still can. Lots of negative things flying around right now and darn near radio silence from LH on their own forum about this. I'm hoping that my...- CaptainCB
