I wish Eletech can do interconnects as well, but the demand of such seems fairly small.
Exactly. I have a couple of Eletech cables and they are at top quality.

I asked them if they would accept custom orders for interconnect cables, and their answer was YES!
I recommend you to contact them after next Thursday (18th Feb), because they are closed until 17th for Chinese New Year Holiday.

I'm considering to order 4.4mm to 4.4mm Iliad and Socrates one. (I have a Socrates for my IEM.)

I know it must have been Burn-In changes. At the moment I am in love too much with Class AB and Solid States!!!

That dynamic, bass slams and punchiness, that soundstage, imaging, body, textures are all to die for!!! It is almost like I am listening to my desktop but I can stand up and walk around when needed!!

Also, the amp overall sound better after 20 minutes, not just KORG tubes LOL!!! Don’t let that bother you though. It just sound great as soon as it is cranked up, just better after some minutes

im considering c9, but after following some of the earlier posts here,im concerned that the c9 will not drive my abyss diana v2 properly.
i wish someone can chime in on c9/abyss pairings
A very quick impression, C9 has more than enough power to drive V2. Half volume at high gain is already getting too loud for me.

Haven’t done any A/B with the Broadway Amp, but from my first impression, this pairing is already very enjoyable!

Edit: Do I still need my Hugo 2 anymore?? :sweat_smile: If you have the budget and want to get Hugo 2, don’t. Get C9 and pair it with a decent source and you are all good.

I feel that it’s build is so solid that there is really no need for a case. Plus, C9 heats up quite a bit, so probably not a good idea to get a tight case.

Good enough to get rid of your Composer + Broadway combo? :grin:
