I just finished putting this together. iPod Classic (X3 should be here tomorrow) - ALO International - Cypherlabs Solo -db - Westone UM30 Pro w/ ADL cable. I'm loving this setup. I'm also going to switch to a balanced cable to connect the International and Solo...

Has one of you by any chance, heard the O2 amp? If so, how do you think the TTVJ performs against the O2. 
If you haven't heard the O2, but you have heard the C5, do you think it outperforms the C5 by much?

 
The TTVJ has obvious advantages in terms of size and aesthetics. Sound wise it is also very special. It has this thick and warm midrange that is 'tubey' like a lot of people explained, yet still remains an expansive soundstage and a very airy top-end.
 
Very nice An amp that you know you would keep it after listening to it (if it appeals to you)

Nonsense.  Enjoy what you have.

Exactly - I would call Rudi's gears as an example...or SAMPLE...of what's out there. He is a pioneer as far as I am concerned, blazing trails for us to ponder over and enjoy.
 
And yes if we are brave enough we can join him...
 
I for one appreciate the photography and the commentary.
 
For example - my latest little gadget was bought "on the cheap"...

Rudi,
 
Do you have any desktop amps?  Or is it all portables?

 

[snapple10]

like the different set-ups and really enjoying the pics. keep them coming
 
 
not really portable but transportable around the house. trying to get more use out of the 800s

 
like how I can connect most of my phones to the M8

Is it strange that I envy the USB cable the most in that photo?  I have a VentureCraft GoDAP but I can't bring myself to spend almost $200 on 4" of cable. 
Kudos to you sir.

Rudi,

Do you have any desktop amps?  Or is it all portables?

I have desktop amps for critical listening

I sold my dac amp Vaughan 6 month a go
Now I have :
Amp : T+A. P10.2 tube pre amp from Germany
Electrostatic amp : Stax 727 mk 2
CD player : April Music CDA 500
Dac : still on finding

The best SQ from Abyss if you drive with desktop amps , you can have more detail and power to get the strong point from Abyss

I feel to ashamed to post in this thread ever again.

Please don't say like that , my goal is only sharing that Abyss can drive with portable amp that have high current not power ,
Because planar headphone need high current than high power .

You are right , enjoy what you have

I and my friends like to have experiment with audio gear
My goal is pure for sharing , the possibility from portable Audio gear .
And every body can choose their own way from my portable set up , which ones are the correct set up
After you see my pictures .

Please don't follow my way , now slowly I sell my collection , because my wife say :
You have only two ears , why you don't want collect only the best ones , the rest you sell again .
My wife has right , my bad habit I sell seldom what I bought

Suspect money and space is the issue rather than ambition

This is pure audio world adventure , I try to find the best portable audio set up for me .
Please don't follow my bad habit

The bad character from man is :

We are happy with new set up only for while , after few month we always try to get better than ours now .
So is life , never ending with one thing , always try to find new ones .
Except wife I have only ones
