    had some free time after making some charts for work. I actually felt doing this was quite therapeutic somehow... lol. I kinda zoned out doing this chart up and was almost late for dinner with my wife. The Niagara 5000 will be a new a addition and hope to receive it in a couple of weeks. Might...

    random thoughts today.. was just thinking of the days I only had the Senn HD650 and a Little Dot MK2 tube amp and was so happy with the sound, and how i waited years to upgrade to an Audeze LCD2 and a Schiit Mjolnir. I also tried to count how much i've spent on audio and headfi since those...

    I got quoted early June too but I ordered mine with silver metalwork rather than the gold so not sure if that will lengthen delivery times.. fingers crossed. I listened to that particular unit with the vm1a and aic10 off the speaker taps. i felt it really sounded quite different from what I...

    High End Cables Thread (digital, analog, power)

    they recommend based on your needs and don't up sell. they can do custom stuff too, and communication is great.

    Arctic Cables is one of my favourites. both for the product and the customer service. Norne is good too, but like u said, it's tough with the communication as well as the wait. Trevor is a good guy tho.

I had a listen to my friend's brand new unit and I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. something was off with the centre imaging, and seemed like it lacked the warmth and density and low end that I heard at canjam. spoke to the local dealer about it and he...

    have a great weekend, everyone! My Riviera AIC-10 is finally on its way to me. can't wait to get it on my rack. borrowed one from a friend for a few days and fell in love with it; 1266 TC Phi sounded amazing off it, and it was the best I've heard from the Susvara. still waiting on my...

    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    I input the values into a parametric eq on Roon. I save it as a preset. then simply toggling on and off as and when needed.

    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    yes the susvara is hard to beat for tone and clarity. SolP is a different flavour; a bit darker, richer and denser imo. The oratory eq for solP improves the upper mids and highs. give it a go. I turn the EQ on and off depending on my mood and music.

    High End Cables Thread (digital, analog, power)

    I have them too. Just prefer the TWL as they're not as stiff and easier to route. I like Pete's cables.

    Riviera AIC-10 headphones & speakers amplifier

    The way I'm doing it is.. riviera Speaker cables Zynsonix adaptor box headphone cable headphone another option is to skip the adaptor box. u can get a speaker tap to 4pin female xlr adaptor cable, and then plug in your hp cable into that 4pin female xlr end.
