I have compared them briefly, however on two sets of VO. Camphor Burl had the Sued ones and the Pheasant Wood one had the Lamb ones. One thing both pads share is, that the sense of dynamics is considerably reduced on both pad sets, especially when coming from a BE2 or Verite pad. Universe Pads...

Great transaction, thank you very much!

Sold elsewhere

Imho the Svetlana is a good NOS Power Tube, it’s just hold back by the really poor PSvane‘s. Also the Svetlana is still available for reasonable prices should it die. Just switch the PSvanes for a pair of good NOS driver tubes and you will certainly be happy. 😉 Maybe a pair of Sylvanias: 6SN7W...

Final Price Drop

Great buyer, very friendly and uncomplicated :-)

For the brief moment I heard the GSE, I thought that Tube Mode made the edges of the tones slightly more rounded, especially noticable in the heighs.

Envy would be a good bet, it drives Susvara very well. Or HM1, as you mentioned, if you prefer a more neutral sound. Bliss is very sweet sounding and could lack some impact with Sus, depending on your preferences. Personally I would definitely choose Envy, it has loads of sound options by...

Thats some epic news! Now I am even more looking forward for the GSE upgrade to become available for exisiting Wandla owners!

Maybe, just maybe, a very small amount. With my tube AMP there is without a doubt 100% no difference that is audible. But with the V200 it is so hard to tell with my current headphone, that it could very well be placebo. Basically, I just confirmed the findings @GoldenSound made with Hypsos in...

So guys I have done my A/B comparison with the Elite and really don't know what to make of my findings yet. I have set Wandla to automatically startup after standby, so I had about 5-6s delay between each switch. At first I started my comparison with my Feliks Audio Euforia fitted with...

You definitly need an adapter, not because of wrong polarity but because the default plug size of the Elite is 5.5 x 2.1, but Wandla needs 5.5 x 2.5. The included white adapter with my Elite adapts BOTH polarity and size. So it is NOT compatible with Wandla even though it fits size wise.

It seems they changed to no longer include the adapters in later batches, which is a real shame... When comparing their iFi iPower X site to the iFi iPower Elite one it is clearly visible that the iPower X does ship with multiple adapters and the Elite does not anymore.... Well nevermind, the...

I dont think thats the case, iFi doenst mentioned it on their site and in this unboxing, only the center pin negative adapter is present and USB adapters, as he has the 5V unit and only this unit ships with USB adapters. I just ordered this adapter for anyone who is also interested in the iFi...

Just received my iFi elite, but the plug will not fit as it has a smaller hole then the plug of the default PSU. My iFi only came with center pin negative adapter, which does fit but is not the correct one. Do I need another adapter? Edit: Yeah looks like the center pin negative adapter also...

Exactly, I dont think that PRO mode attenuated further should sound better then RED mode attenuated less, when they both land at the same output voltage.

Selling two like new NOS RCA JAN CRC 6AS7G tubes in original cardboard packaging! Bought them unused from a collector in France, used them for about 5h in my Feliks Euforia, so the tubes are not even properly burned in yet. They have a warm, mid-forward sound profile which pairs really well...

Just ordered an iFi iPower Elite 24v from Amazon, which is priced more reasonably when compared to Hypsos. Of course, it can only power one device, but as I don't plan to get OOR any time soon, it is fine for me. I will do a thorough comparison with the stock power brick and let you know if I...

But jokes aside: did a brief listen to the GSE features at the Meze booth in Munich, the one that impressed me the most was the spatial enhancement feature. Very nice indeed and not overdone. Tube mode did smoothen the treble just a little bit, will be testing it with Euforia and a tube roll...

Selling like new Caldera Ultra Perf Sued Pads. Bought them new directly from ZMF. Have tried them once on my Verite Open and didn't like the sound, hence why I am selling them. Price is firm, shipping to Germany is included. Shipping to other EU countries and PayPal fees are on buyer.

I see you are using iFi iPower Elite with Wandla. I am currently using Wandla with stock PSU with an Feliks Euforia and VO Camphor Burl, its definitley not lacking in slam. But then again, VO has a Berillyum driver which already is very punchy. Have you tried using the stock power brick? Was...

Thats some really good advise, thank you for that!

Thank you very much for that info. I did read the Spec Sheet of Envy and thought they were joking when mentioning an RMS input voltage of 1V. Why is it so low? Considering Envy has XLR inputs... What would the setting on Wandla be to reach 1V? I have Wandla Rev 4.0 with FW 1.4.0 installed, so...

I actually have to disagree a little. Compared Caldera Ultra Perf Sueds to BE2 Lambskin, Verite Lambskin, Universe Lambskin and Universe Sued. Of all the mentioned pad options the Caldera Ultra Perf Sueds definitly reduce the sense of dynamics and impact by a huge margin compared to the Verite...
