Haha.. accessory.. I wish.. I'm already thinking of upgrading the camera!

I love it. I need to learn how to master it though, as you can see, the pictures aren't too spectacular.. and I used a tripod!

Wow. Good luck with the photo hobby. It's another expensive one.

I was thining about that myself but it's opposite of this hobby since with photography you must go outside and this headphone rig you must stay at home.

You just got it? Haven't you had the ES-1 in your sig for months?

Hehe, I put it in there when I ordered it.. but one thing led to another and it took longer than expected

Congrates on the amp,Its a killer!

 

[Ruppin]

You,ve got me drooling. I remember hearing the Orpheus with the Singlepower at the National Meet. At the time, under admittedly less than optimal listening conditions, I thought it was the best amp/phone combo that I heard.

If you wouldn't mind, would you please state the exact configuration you ordered.

Enjoy.

congrats, AK!

Does it mean you can die with the OII now!

You am gonna spend lots of more cash by tube rolling the amp for the best evaluated, see how many are up there. I would like to know how significantly the sound quality change in regard to the tubes change. Follow this up.

did you take a rear shoot of the amp?

I'll let Akwok answer about his amp, but my ES-1 has two options: silver wiring in the signal path and an upgraded PSU.

Mine has the upgraded PSU,

Anything else would've been too expensive for me! Considering the base model is already $4k..

No rear shots.. I'd have to move the amp to take shots, and it's a bitch to move!

Oh, come on!

[but yeah, if you don't bring it we should hook up for a mini meet sometime]

Congratulations on a beautiful new amp...the entire setup looks fantastic!

I'm becoming more and more seduced by all these Singlepower amps around here...

Peace,

Graz

Actually..

I hate the complete setup aesthetically right now. The D02 is silver, and the Ack Dack is black (and plain). I'm hoping the new DACs coming will make the whole thing actually look like a set - it's like mismatched socks right now!

I think the best looking setup I've had so far is either the L3000 + DHA3000 or the SA5000 + GS-1 + VDA-1/VAC-1 (I like the look of the latter more).

 

[Graz]

Sorry to post again on this...but I just CANNOT stop looking at that amplifier.

EDIT: it looks like the small tube on the front row...the left one...is a little crooked. Can you please straighten it and take/post some new pics!

Peace,

Graz

 

[dhp]

wait, what's an ES-1???

it's not on the website

Did I mention I hate you?
