Which Lake People is that?
I love Lake People/Violectric.
I’m selling mine G111 to get the V281.
Don’t need to search for another brand!

It's the G109, predecessor to your G111, I've had it since 2013(ish) and haven't felt the need to change :)

I have the G109-A (predecessor of G111) AND the V281. I use the V281 as my main desktop HP amp and preamp for speakers + sub. And I often use the G109-A in the side system (headphone only) that's just 4 ft away.

They both sound amazing -- the "Violectric house sound." Of course the V281 is more powerful, dynamic, with more spacious soundstaging--and it's balanced. But the G109-A sounds wonderful, with a similar tonal balance.

Thank you for the comparison.
Maybe I should keep the G111 and buy the V281 in the future.
I will think about that!

What's Violectric's house sound?

Deep, firm, sinewy bass - dimensional “sculpted” midrange - airy, extended treble without edge - all with a touch of tube “liquidity” and “sweetness”: my assessment based on V280.

After a long time lurking, finally have something to share. The Violectric V380 is a demo unit that was kindly sent to me by Dune Blue (distributor) and the HD650 is new because I bought that for the demo. :grin:

That should be a synergistic pairing. Based on my experience with V280 + HD600 (mod), I hope that you are 👂👂🎼🎼😄😄

Nice setup I have yet to hear the new Dynaudio confidence series. I used to own a pair of C1 Platinums. They are great speakers.

Here is the latest from my system. I have moved on from the Hegel H360 and picked up a pair of Octave MRE 220 mono blocks to power my Atria II. The unfortunate side effect is that I have parted ways with my AB-1266 Phi TC and Formula S stack. At the end of the day they have seen very little use since we moved into the space. It is almost 100% speakers now. The only thing is that it cost quite a bit more to get to the same level with the speaker system.

I still have my clears and khan though. I can't totally get out of headfi.

I really love what I am hearing, although I can't compare to something like the HD650 with a tube amp. This though is lovely. The V380 is neutral done very well, so smooth I would expect it to be warmer than it is and with good dynamics too.
