Geoff, you are exempt from all criticism, not least because it was you who recommended this amp to me in the first place!

You’re in for a treat with the Silver Fox!

We had to put a few out to pasture

Pulled the trigger on a silver fox. Very excited.

Unfortunately reading through this whole thread was an unpleasant chore. We have two ornery members who seem to belong to this forum only to insult people and question their integrity (I don’t need to name them, you know who they are) and more discussion of the CFA3 and Kobo than the Silver Fox.

I hope I like the amp more than I liked reading this thread.

Let us know how you like it.

I wish this amp will do well, I just have more respect for companies like Cen.Grand and Abyss who tune their stuff to be unique compared to the rest of the competition.

 

[geoffalter11]

They certainly do that. There is a wetness and saturation to their products when properly amplified (silver fox) that turns sound into resolution and beautiful air. Cen.Grand has this in spades.

This thread got off the rails for a bit. But, hopefully it is back on track. Most importantly, we look out for our own... I am so excited for you, Danny. I think you will find this amp right up your alley. Especially with your headphone stable. You are in a for a treat....

Let us know how it goes, the cen.grand gear are insanely good. A company that makes top quality gear that is reasonably priced and who don't do a lot of advertising? That's a check in my books. I know that cen.grand stuff isn't that known in our part of the world but its actually quite popular in the Far East having won a handful of awards at various hifi shows there.
Extremely happy with my LSF, are we going with that acronym now people?
Really hoping that Mr. Deng gives us a DSDAC that stacks perfectly with the LSF!
It's a bit unfortunate that some people come here to talk about other stuff, but I am loving the activity on this thread.

What does the “L” stand for?

Does anybody know the power consumption of this amp at idle and at full load? I sent email and left messages directly to cen.grand website a few weeks ago about this question, but still have not heard any response from them yet.

Just got my silver fox this afternoon. It is a beast! Didn't expect it to be so big and heavy -- more like a silver rhino.

So far I've only had time to listen to the LCD-4 on it. And so far I'm extremely impressed.

 

[project86]

Haha Silver Rhino does seem pretty accurate, though perhaps not as appealing from a marketing perspective.

Been loving it with the LCD-i4, glad you are having a great experience. Let me know what output you decide on using. I been leaning towards Parallel lately.

lol silver rhino does describe the amp perfectly

however, the idea of silver fox name, may come from this https://www.native-languages.org/silver-fox.htm (Silver Fox from native American legend)

what impedance do you guys use for planars?
I hear low impedance is less shouty and more neutral...before I listen high impedance only...

 

[dfiled]

I can't hear any difference. Also, isn't it the case that it's not really an impedance change anyway, but a different resistance?
