I was just listening to Dangerous by Michael Jackson and i think this and pretty much every MJ song has really good drums section. Not sure about songs with other instruments though, need to think on that.

Looking forward to your impressions.

I like forward vocals, some would say it's unbalanced but it's the way i like my music, anyway i'm thinking now maybe to go back to oratory1990 eq but add a shelf to the mids and raise it by 4-5db

I have APOaqualizer and i tried oratory1990 and innerfidelity eq, i liked innerfidelity eq better so i'm using it. I probably should buy some tubes and maybe upgarde my DAC as well. currently i have stock tubes and Topping d10s. i'm thinking maybe to get R2R DAC. i'm considering Holo audio...

There's a thread for this amp but it's dead since 2009, and from what i understand there were several updates to this amp since then.

Hi. Has anyone heard about Ray Samuels Thunderbolt A-10 electrostatic amplifier? I found two reviews on it but i wanna know some additional info, especially how it compares to other amps.

I think i made a mistake buying the sr-007 mk1 instead of es labs es-1 alpha or sr-009s i had good deal on both headphones but i went with the mk1 without taking into consideration it's power requirements. Now i'm stuck with a fine setup but i'll probably never be satisfied until i have the...

Also do you think the amp would pair well with Stax sr-007? I have currently CCS modded Stax srm-T1 amp form Mjolnir audio, i want to upgrade to the bhse but the price is just too much for me, so i'm considering the Shangri-La amp instead specifically for the sr-007

Hi, i'm curious if any of got a chance to compare the Shangri-La Jr amp to other electrostatic amplifiers, i'm mainly interested in a comparison with the bhse since they're both tube amplifiers.

Man i'd love to hear the x9000 on Eksonic T2. I'd pay money just to get an hour with that combo.

Can you link a thread where someone actually make some comparison?, has anyone ever try to use speaker amp with electrostats? I'd love to this myself but i'm kinda short on funds currently.

But what if we compare it to bhse (6500$) or kgsshv carbon (5500$) and for the sake of the argument the bhse is a tube amp so in this case instead of the ahb2 i'll go with willsenton r800i. The specific amps here are not the point. What I'm trying to say is what if i take a good cheap enough...

The stax sr007 that is. I thought i queted the previous comment but apparently i didn't.

Regarding my previous comment about pairing them with benchmark ahb2 and ifi iesl I meant to quote that.

I wonder if i could reach to similar lvl of kgsshv if i'd pair them with a good speaker amp like benchmark ahb2, with something like ifi iesl instead of woo wee.

Ok, i always take others opinions with a little bit grain of salt so to speak, but from what i read here and there he's very knowledgeable and should be trusted, so i expected some more "refined" comments from him.

Has anyone here got a chance to compare the z10e to Audiovalve Solaris? The Solaris is also an all in one like the z10e and i wonder how they compare.

Ok, thank you, i'll check there.

I'm kind of a noob, and few months ago i purchased modded T1 from him, but i just recently found out about head-case and from what i see there i'm feeling very uncomfortable with what they say about other companies. Back to topic, is the LTA Z10E a good product? I'd love to have some...

Hi. I was thinking maybe to purchase LTA Z10E because i really like the idea of having an all in one solution for all of my headphones, so i did some searching and i stumbled upon head-case.org from what i understand spritzer from Mjolnir audio who's very highly regarded on head-fi (or at least...

Know what, when it comes to the he-1 i can somehow accept it since it's the one special system with different kind of technology and it came from a reputable company with years of experience, although it's still overpriced in my opinion. About watches let's not go into this, this the most bs...

I suppose you're right, i still think there's something in what i said and that there isn't enough criticism in this hobby. Speaking personally i find it annoying that i can easily buy the best GPU or Tv but i could never dream to buy the higher end amps and dacs. On another note i find it...

Continuing the rant above. It would all be fine if there were only a select few companies who allow themselves to charge high price but it's not the case. Because of what i said above every audio company whether it's Hifiman, Luxman, Onkyo, Marantz, or, Denafrips or any other company they all...

At the beginning i came at this from a personal perspective but I've done some thinking and i'd say the only reason that these companies sell these amps or dacs or whatever for these astronomical prices is because people buy it, and that would be fine if it had only affect them but it's not...

I just can't make sense of headphones amplifiers at the cost of my car, the engeneering and materials prices could never justify the end products prices. On the other hand i want to have the best, i guess that it's kinda childish but i still want it and it pisses me off.
