I definitely agree. I'm very curious as to looking at the power supply section one day. Opeining it up to see for myself. I'm no electrical engineer but I hazard a guess that the filtering banks of capacitors are allowing for large levels of power storage and thus allowing for plenty of...

Will ZMF provide a pre-order list? If so please provide a link. I'm not usually the type of person who has to be at the front of the line usually in this hobby. But I'll make an effort this time-for this! Lord Gwyn ×ZMF x Cayin!! That's epic level collaborations in my book.

This is right up my alley. I already have a great rectifier collection and own most all interesting 6V6Gs and 6V6GTs. I also have plenty of 6SL7s due to using them in my Eddie Current tube phono amp. I think I'll have to get one. Side note: I've also been following this since last year. So my...

I'm a member of a Los Angeles based audio group. I've had a few people share some views to me personally.

It really is an end-game level amp. Please dont let the negative dogma take hold of your thinking. Some have been very disparaging regarding the Cayin HA-300B MK2 in terms of price and country of origin etc. The truth is it's a fantastically designed and built unit with premium parts used...

I've never done it just because I've never needed to as I listen exclusively thru a 300B tube headphone amp. But Warren Chi in his review said he used the balanced XLR connections in the rear of the unit with great success.

@jlbrach and I have resolved this in PM. This was never an attack. It was a challenge to empower oneself. The search function is your friend.

Ha! Well thats a good point. To that end, I appreciate the simple style of the Weiss DACs.

I apologize if my thoughts are taken as an attack. I began my post by stating the word first, "respectfully". I'm merely suggesting that one takes time to educate oneself with the posts of the past. Again my apologies if I came across as attacking.

I own a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90. A box of a vehicle. Many have come before and many will come in the future. But the point is if you judge the vehicle on its intended use and design. To be rugged, to be without limitations and to be absolutely dependable then I see not other competitors...

Respectfully. You ask alot of questions that have been answered many times by owners in the past. You state that that thread is long and you rely on the graces of those of us that are active to answer questions as you need them to be answered. You may consider reading up on the wealth of...

To be honest I'm very happy and satisfied with OG Utopia. My thoughts on bass are if I'm being too picky. I have a great system built and my driver tubes on the 300B amp are very extended top and bottom. I think I sometimes allow myself let my mind wonder off. But I'm staying where I am. Happy...

Yes, I'm also wondering if it's worth it to own both? I'm very happy with the OG but I do think it could use a touch more bass. But it's very minor. I know Jude states that he feels the 2022 version has gained more resolving qualities. So I'm open-minded to the fact that it could be a better...

OK to be clear. Does this item qualify for the return policy as stated on the Headphones.com site?

Thanks for the reply.

Welcome! And I don't see this as a dark side. In the two channel world this is very much discussed. In the Head-Fi world its just gaining some traction. But as setups and systems become more and more revealing I think the logical step will be to address cabling and power. Alot of people have...

Side note: I've done business with a lawyer that is based in Vancouver and I'm told has personal and maybe business relationships with headphones.com. Michael Bromm. He'll vouch for me.

Does Headphones.com have a at home audition policy? For example with other DACs I've audition I'd provide a credit card authorization for the full amount of the DAC. Usually I'd receive shipping to me on the vendor then pay I for the return. If I never returned the unit or returned the unit...

I've heard them all, except the WA33 But never back to back or even on the same day or even with the same DACs feeding them all. So my thoughts are very personal. The one thing I will say is they are all very equal in quality of sound. Not necessarily the same type of sound. But they are all on...

Sorry chap. You're not qualified to make an armchair diagnosis on this. Maybe this is similar to an issue you've heard about? Could be. But your achilles heel is clearly your inexperience and lack of internal self control.

Well I see this has turned out to be a really outstanding product. A real winner, just like the young man that seems to have an answer for everything.

I know this probably means nothing. But as a side question. What is your DACs voltage output to the amp via RCAs?

It's not as massive in sonic weight and heft as the MK2. It also puts out just a touch more than 1W. So again not as mighty. It does however have an tremendous amount of tube rolling options for the output tubes. It's very similar in that both the MK2 and the Studio Six are both linear, fast...

I felt the same way with Rossini apex & clock. Which is one level below. Technical but not emotional. But was very nice in its own way.

That's the ALO Studio Six(recently disconnected). It's a 5AR4 tube rectified SET amp that uses two OB2 gas regulators for voltage into one 6SN7 as an input tube into two 6V6G(T)s on the output.
