 It's been a month since I ordered my Concerto and StageDAC
I think it might be held up in customs.

 
My concerto just arrived last week.  It took about a month.

Already owning this amp + dtt 990 pro (love this combination ).  
 
I listen mainly to rock/swingy music/blues and also reggae, hip hop and pop.
 
I'm looking for new high-end cans.
Which headphone would you consider?
 
- sennheiser HD 800 (1000 euro)
-LCD-2                     (1000 euro)
-beyerdynamic t1      (900 euro)
 
Thx for the input.
 
 
 

I would go with the LCD-2 having heard all of those and currently owning 2 of them.
 
LCD-2 + Concerto is very much a world class sounding pairing with a "budget" pricetag.

Yes, it was your rave reviews of the MAD EAR+HD, in part, that has me thinking that the Beyer's really want (read: not 'need') tubes. I wonder how well a pair of DT880 600's would compare to the DT990's and hope to do a direct comparison with the Concerto, at some point. Feel free to let us know how the WA2 compares to both the Meier and the MAD, when you get a chance!

The T1 does well with the Concerto, eh? I am currently enjoying my DT990 600's with it, and wonder if anyone out there have been noticing similar. So much has been said about Beyer's requiring tubes to sound their best, I often wonder if I am hearing the bassy DT990's at the top of their potential. How about DT880 600's, as well? I wonder if the very detailed, slightly bright Concerto pairs well with these fairly high register/highly resolving cans?

The Concerto and T1s do work very well together...no doubt to my ears. But, I still prefer them (and all 600 ohm beyers) with tubest to get the most out of them. I should hopefully have my new Woo WA2 in late next week and as it's an OTL amp, even better suited for the T1s over my MAD Ear+HD.

Mine arrived after more than 20 days. It is usually held up by customs. They take apart all the tape on the boxes and look at what is inside.

I bet the guys at customs are listen to the Concerto, haha.
Jan told me 2 weeks but you guys had to wait 20 to 30 days then that makes me feel better.

 

[akart]

Yeah, 2 weeks will not happen - especially if you ordered it in December - because of all the Christmas and New Year's gifts going around. I found that all the tapes on the inside packages were cut - that can only mean that the customs' folks were meddling with it ...

 Nevermind, they came in today. It took exactly 1 month. I ordered on the 15th of December.

Will do. I'm thinking the WA2 will be the better match for the T1s (and likely HD800s/LCD-2s). But the MAD is breath taking with my RS1i and Ed. 8s.

i got the amp last week and really like it,very very smooth sound with DT880/600.
Thanks for Skylab great reviews.

 

[Paganini Alfredo]

So...
 
90% sure I'm gonna order the Meier Concerto/DAC units sometime soon. The HR Ultra/DPS better defend her turf or risk getting toppled from the heap and kicked to the curb.

Any predictions which will come out ahead in the end?

 

[brasewel]

My StageDac + Concerto came in 2 days ago. Took 16 days to get here, however I bought them used from someone in Switzerland. Was surprised that customs left the box untouched. Must have been lucky.

 

[GTL]

Is the stagedac->concerto->HD800 a good combo?

Absolutely...but I prefer the HD800s with either of my two tube amps.

 

[pekingduck]

Just noticed the Concerto (and the Symphony.2 too) is now SOLD OUT on Meier Audio!!!
 
Can't wait for the next killer amp from Jan

 

[brasewel]

I hope he comes out with a balanced amp and dac. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
