My 2-month-old Walkman went into washing machine and dryer and out. Not turning on now, of course. Wondering if there is a trick of the trade I could use to claim from Amazon a replacement or store credit or discount...

Would you say your source of information is reliable?

The way Cayin is doling out oodles of output power on its new devices, I won't be surprised if one could use C9 for even desktop amplification needs associated with full-size dynamic headphones of >250ohm. I just hope tube rolling would be made possible. I sure would love to know if this looks a...

"6" on the shell could be made smaller in size. Too big a letter, as it looks now. SA6 is one of the best looking universals, otherwise and I do like the idea of multiple options that one can't pick from but can get lucky with. Wish more manufacturers offered such organically good looking ones...

The latest TWS 800 on pre-order is highly likely an upgrade to TWS600?

Could we expect a new version of iFi Micro iDSD with 4.4mm or 2.5mm output in a few months now that you launched xCAN and Hip DAC with balanced ports lately?

Cayin or cayin't isn't the question at Cayin anymore. C9 looks solid.

Thank you for such an informative response. Very helpful.

Gotcha!

Sure looks like a great deal. Just how easy might the Bottlehead Crack the DIY assembling and wiring task for an audiophile noob?

First time Etymotic buyer yet to receive the shipping from $160 Adorama Deal of the Day. Any tips and suggestions from veteran users of ER4SR?

Very PG Wodehouse, indeed.

The exact words you too would employ when someone sends you 'NewFantasia' upgrade cables for Focal Stellia or 64A Noir. 🙂😛

Would love to know what it must possibly be like to own these when moving, price-wise, up from owning (and enjoying to a decent degree) Stellia. Close-back D8000 and Verite Closed and open-back Empyrean are the present considerations for 2021 purchase.

For mixing jobs, would NDH-20 be a better bet than LCD-XC?

:) Slummin' in the land of trust fund babies.

N3 Pro must be pretty much the only DAP (or USB DAC/amp) below $1000 that incorporates tubes and offers >800mW maximum output?

Andrew at Musicteck is known to be always kind enough to extend a discount on these.

Could you tell me just how decent these low-priced 'upgrade' cables on a scale of 1 to 10 can be? https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-V-Moda-Crossfade-Wireless-Upgrade/dp/B07Y6NF4SX/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=silver+upgrade+cable+focal&qid=1600552976&sr=8-16

All in good time, all in good time.

Almost all TVs offer digital/optical out but HDMI ARC appears to be the best interface for maximum rates and often used in pro world. But of course, only the latest and expensive TVs ($800+) seem to come with HDMI ARC output and rarely any external DAC/Amps with HDMI ARC input. Would love to...

Just the words a man would say when he meets the right woman and vice versa. :)

"High performance" and "single dynamic driver" needn't be mutually exclusive. Some flagships of well-known high performance IEM manufacturers happen to be the humble single dynamic driver that has been worked upon year after year for better results. Be it Final Audio Design's A8000 or...

Flagship closed-back sure is getting ready but I can't hazard a guess on the price. Hope they don't price it a lot higher than the open-back flagship Empyrean the way Sennheiser did with HD820.
