Violectric V222 and V202
Yup! Just also spotted these on IG. The most intruiging to me being the pre-gain knob of the front of the 322/324!- lauthoerer

Puritan Audio Laboratories PSM136, PSM156, PSM1512 Power Conditioners
Got it. Very clear now. Thanks! Thinking about using one GM City with my tube amp or DAC separately (using one of the RCA inputs) to ground it, so they don’t „buzz“ each other… It’s really only the tube amp that’s humming, so don’t think it’s a „general“ issue.- lauthoerer

Cheers. So that is Wall socket > GM City > Route Master > PSM156? Not quite sure where/how these are connected to each other... (I've seen the pics and read the product info, but still not sure where the cables are plugged into) I'm asking as I'm currently upgrading my power supply from an...- lauthoerer

ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
Anyone using the ZMF Grand Silver Palladium with their VCs (or AC or CC)? Currently drive them with a Meze Silver Plated PCUHD cable (which sounds pretty good to me) and wanted to check if it’s worth the money as an upgrade. Also, I should add, I feel like the silver cables are especially keen...- lauthoerer

Found it. Cheers. Very interesting. Too bad that this is in UK. Don’t see a trial working out with customs etc. Will get in the „regular“ PSM156 in a couple of weeks to compare with the gordian. Let’s see…- lauthoerer

Where could I find some more info on those upgrades? Didn’t know these are even offered (only knew about the ultimate mains cable). Anyone here have any experience with the Lab12 gordian, standalone or in comparison to the PSM156?- lauthoerer

Sennheiser HD820
I very much think so (see previous page). But I also agree that a tube amp is a great match for these. Heard them on all Cayin amps and saw a linear improvement with each (incl the HA-6A I’m selling).- lauthoerer

Niimbus Ultimate Series US4/US4+/US5/US5 Pro Headphone Amps - by Lake People
I like Ohio Players alright, incl the expansion in sound, but enjoy the old ones a lot more. Realized that I only had Magic Portion in physical form, though I could have sworn that I had more of them, so got the 10 year anniversary LPs for Brother and El Camino and threw in Delta Kream for good...- lauthoerer

Meanwhile, my VC just sounds AMAZING with the US5, as does the Bokeh in it’s own right. Been listening to a lot of Black Keys the last two days, which synched perfectly with the VC. Right now, it’s Picaresque by the Decemerists, where I rotated in the HD820 and E3, which both sounded hollow...- lauthoerer

Got a Lab12 Gordian in today, so will hopefully get a pretty good idea of the current in here through it. over the weekend. Will also get a Puritan PSM156 in a couple of weeks, then decide which one fits better with my gear. While I do believe that cables and current play a significant part in...- lauthoerer

Cool. Currently deciding on a power filter/conditioner, but a DAC is next on the list after that (but will probably be a bit down the road)…- lauthoerer

Cheers! I had all of them (as well as the V281) at home side by side a couple of weeks ago and ultimately decided to go with the US5. Since yesterday, that’s the only one in the house. Sadly, as much as I would like to do an extensive comparison in writing, I simply don’t have the time to do...- lauthoerer

The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)
That looks like a VC, which, compared to a Grado is indeed a beast… and while I do find it very comfortable, I will agree on it being on the ear-muff side. On the sound, though, this is SUPER chain/amp dependent and can be super misleading if paired badly. I also found it to “perform” rather...- lauthoerer

Rocked the Bokeh for a while today, which was GREAT. Moved on to the VC now which is simply amazing. Will check the E3 tomorrow…- lauthoerer
