Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

[miceblue]

Fostex TH-X00 sounded fan-freaking-tastic out of the X Infinity (single-ended output).


They complimented the SRS-2170 so well (X Infinity as DAC) that I might consider getting one.

  I must be hallucinating. Am I seeing Pulse, "Positive Feedback"? What is happening to this thread? LH Labs doing something right? I need to print this page and pin to to my office wall!
 
*Multiple Pulse, and LPS owner!

LOL Indeed.  
 
Multiple Pulse/LPS owner as well.

I think that you can get an infinity + LPS 4 combo for less that that amount from LH labs at the moment... They had an offer running a while back.

^ thanks!

I don't have a Pulse, but I have posted about the Geek Out Special Edition (the upgraded one with the Femto clock, V1). It is a bit of a pain to use (partly because I'm not too computer savvy, settings get me crazy), but it sounds better than some well regarded sub-$1k amp/dacs Out there, particularly, for me, the CEntrance Hifi M8. I am in for too much LH Labs stuff, the Source, Wave, and Vi Tube Infinity dac, fully tricked out. Hoping for no technical problems, expecting great sound (eventually )

$1100 is less than the very early backer price, I would be very surprised if LHlabs offer even less.

There were at least three of us (Leomitch, J.P. and myself) that have been quite impressed and happy with our Pulse X Infinities in either chassis.  To echo J.P.'s comments... Yes, it's crowdfunding, it's painful to wait, communication and estimated deadlines have been, polite sarcasm here, less than optimal.

Another silent Geek Pulse x2 owner, LPS4 and Geek Out 1000. Everything works brilliant and waiting for the Wave.

I've been a happy Pulse Xfi/LPS4 owner as well. After some early hiccups that LH quickly addressed, they've been working flawlessly. So now just waiting on the headphone amp.

I have a vanilla Pulse, an Infinity, and two LPS's. I've posted over the last couple of years about both my dissatisfaction with the lack of viable information coming from LH and also impressions on the gear. I don't even remember now what the total costs were but I was in on the best pricing for all those units. I've had issues with the Pulse and the Infinity all of which were handled immediately and with minimal fuss by LH. The units have been working flawlessly for a long time now and I find the Infinity to be a terrific DAC for the price paid and it's the main unit in my desktop system. I'm pretty sure I paid $299 total for the vanilla Pulse and also can't complain at that price. I still disagree with many of the decisions the company has and is making when it comes to fulfilling orders and exhibiting any consistency in policy. And I completely understand the frustration many who haven't received their products are experiencing. I wont make any excuses for LH but I will say that the products you ordered should be tried and not sold out of frustration and disgust with the company. If you try it and don't like it, then sell it. But don't cut your nose off to spite your face, as the old saying goes.

Ditto! My Infinity has been working like a charm...makes beautiful music. Be sure you burn-in your equipment before you sell it. LH has had poor business practices for sure, but they are trying to improve. Technically, they are top notch providing the QC has been properly done. Don't sell just because you are pi**ed off with the company's poor business practice or your long wait. My wait was worth it!
 
Cheers

I agree that everyone should give the equipment a chance once they get it - nothing to lose and you may just end up liking it.

Wow, between my LPS and/or my 2G cable, it has surely made a difference for the Pulse Infinity. Much of a difference that I need to compare my Audio-gd and determine which I will keep again. I had the LPS and 2G cable burning in over 10 days while on vacation.
 
Colour me surprised.

What Auio-gd you have again bro? NFB-28 right?
