Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
Yes, hard to say as there's been no reports. I would expect the final version to be colour matching, though. One thing I note is the optical and coax would seem to be out of use with Suzi, which is a bit of a shame. I hope the USB implementation is indeed an improvement from the stock Hugo 2...- Nostoi

Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
So did anyone at Munich actually demo/see/touch the Suzi? Edit: further pictures: https://www.facebook.com/chordelectronics/posts/pfbid0382vZWo6yaunEy4k395zLnewUNquyqAd2QSZE3828pxwq8m1qnyg2BYLZccTwCFnPl Pretty pumped for this, I must say.- Nostoi

Tom Christiansen Audio HPA-1 solid state amp. Very transparent, very clean sounding amp but not overly dry. Bought recently from another member, but not really needed after all. Condition good - some minor wear on front. I'll also include a Supra SPC power cable, 1m. Will be sent from...- Nostoi

3 new Ultrasone Signature Headphones: Master, Natural and Pulse
Just received Signature Pure. First impressions - comfort improved. Sound - slightly mid-bass flabby/muddy, bit boxy, otherwise fine. They benefit from some EQ in the mid-bass section. Wonder if the drivers benefit from usage [burn-in]? One issue - there's something weird going on with the...- Nostoi

Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp
I'll be curious to hear if it changes with some use. There's definitely a restrained presentation out of the box. I tried to figure out the Astell AMP stage, but couldn't get my head around it. It's class A/B, I guess, or class D? Overall, it's a great unit and very capable bedside unit.- Nostoi

Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp
Just received my Amazon UK unit. First impressions: very nice build, great form factor. No issues with UI on local library. Roon all good. Sound impressions: Hugo 2 was mentioned at the outset of this thread. Sorry, CA1000 is nowhere close to Hugo 2 level. Mojo 2 maybe, but at a push. CA1000...- Nostoi

The End-Game Solid State Amplifier Master List
I just got this amp second-hand and would absolutely recommend it for those searching for a totally transparent amp with excellent technicalities. I was a little concerned it would be dry/sterile/THX sounding amp (not least because it's approved by ASR) but it's actually quite "musical" with...- Nostoi

Comment by 'Nostoi' on listing 'NPAudio modded Acoustic Research AR-M2'
I guess if the washing machine is drowning out other noise, then music indeed! I've not heard the DX320 - I'm put off by the reports of the step volume control - but it's impressive that AR-M2 continues to hold ground so many years after launch. The amp to my ears is really the magic of this...- Nostoi

Comment by 'Nostoi' on listing 'NPAudio modded Acoustic Research AR-M2'
Thanks, friend. The domestic commitments are relatable - reason for sale: I need to buy a washing machine. Sadly true! Yes, would be great if an owner with a stock AR-M2 bought it for comparison. I did the comparison myself some time back and came to the conclusion that the modded version...- Nostoi

This is an NPAudio modded Acoustic Research AR-M2 with a new battery installed. You can read about the mod work here and here. I had the the original and the modded version together, the mod cleans up the sound rendering the presentation more precise but without losing any musicality. If you...- Nostoi

Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth
I asked but didn't hear anything, not even anything on this wireless dongle, which frankly speaking isn't terribly exciting to me. I suppose at some point Lotoo will integrate this into a DAP and they'll join the streaming market. Meh. I'm more excited by rumours of a anniversary edition of...- Nostoi

CanJam Singapore 2024 Impressions Thread (April 6-7, 2024)
The Lotoo CanJam announcement looks to be some kind of streaming dongle. But is there any info/news/rumours on the far more exciting 25th anniversary Paw Gold non-touch? Edit - to clarify, rumors circulating the Lotoo anniversary edition of the Paw Gold itself, which may or may not coincidence...- Nostoi

Bakoon HDA-5210MK4 (and related Bakoon Products/Satri Circuit Laboratory news)
This is true, indeed, sadly. I had put Elise Audio in the UK in contact with Bakoon, and I think for a while they had the 5210MK4 in stock. More here. But it would be great to see MusicTeck or something similar stock Bakoon/Satri Circuit Lab in the future. I think one problem is that, unlike...- Nostoi

No, I have the OG edition - the neutral version - with the Rognir dynamic (ECL-03?) pads. Maybe later versions have more warmth. I've said it before, this is the perfect tuning for me. I would change nothing. I understand Kennerton no longer makes this tuning as all versions now come stock...- Nostoi
