Man I'm torn between the red and the blue.. both are nice colors!

They may have Red available per my understanding, you may need to check

All colour's are made to order, you just need to discuss it with Vitaliy after your purchase via 'info' email. My FA-10 is complete but I had enough time to request a custom paint job before they shipped it. Hopefully ill get a preview on Monday. whats a few more days wait.

You are right nick but bias is understandable and natural. I had similar discussion with them about AKM chips as well and my feelings were similar like yours. The thing is that your products are your babies and you do indeed have some emotional attachment with it. So when you compare your product with competition then bias is natural. Also, if you do not defend your product or the decisions you took while making that product then who will defend it?

Yeah, thats kind of true. Have been accused of being rude when am stating logical FACTS and many more, automatically trying to convey the message and always seem to be attacking them with questions and such. As much attachment I have with my babies, I would never sell off with BS conduct to customer. How to deal with it ? Make better products. And now, I sound like an asshole and rude.
But it would be nice, if we can end all this BS marketing regarding audio gears.

Well, which one match your setup and your headphone collection ?

I am going with the Black one which will match my setup but I did liked the Champagne/Gold color and Grayish Silver color.

I like the gold color but even if I have not bought it earlier, I would have bought the black one. Best one to match the setup.

 

[gancanjam]

Color is personal but having said that, I liked the gold, grayish silver and subtle blue. They do not color match in a stack of the typical Black or Silver gadgets but the reason I wont mind buying them is that the shades are subtle, elegant and may not look out of place even if you put it in a stack of other colors. These specific colors are making the FA10 to look expensive also. But as always, color is a personal choice

Of course color is personal. This is why everyone is saying "I like so and so color....".

You know Saad, I am finally sticking with Black color like you to match other rigs I have in the desk though other colors tempted me a lot as those colors are subtler and doesn't look out of place to me. Regardless, Black will be the best fit for my desk with all rigs as black. Still waiting to get FCN-10, am at a point like, just send me the FCN-10 i will paint something here myself...LOL.

Booked an appointment in San Francisco to audition some HPs for FCN-10 (which I have never even listened to yet..duh) today, will share if I find anything interesting!

I was told by FLA that the volume control is more linear when running 3.5v into the SE inputs when I inquired about which output level to use out of my RME ADI.

Not sure about the XLR input voltage.

 

[VitalyDon]

I hope that the mentioned issue with the volume control isn't the case with FCN-10 due to the fact that the DAC is built-in. Logically, I must be right.

Don't they have a 15 day trial period?

They are in Ukraine, Europe.

I get that. So you're trying to save return shipping? Might want to verify that the warranty is transferrable.
