I didn't realize you posted this, oops lol. Basically the Blue Hawaii sounds the best of the bunch to my ear and also gets the loudest, not sure how many are available "in the wild". The builder said he made some upgrades since the Blue Hawaii is getting pretty old at this point so it has some...

Don't Megatrons pull like 300 watts from the wall?

This right here, my Stax 007mk2 with aftermarket flat pads uncovers the drive way more then the stock pads or the unveiled.

Still on the fence going to this but leaning towards going. Looking into hotels. I looked up the library on Google Maps......doesn't appear to be much parking around it. The last meetup I went to the parking was an absolute nightmare(there was a farmers market just outside the meetup the host...

There was a meetup just outside of Columbus last August. Maybe there will be another one?

I'm curious what is Abyss thoughts on electrostatic headphones and amps?

I've used it on my L500 mk2. Aren't they the same driver but different pads? It works perfectly fine.

Not sure I can justify the price since I already have the Arya Organic and they are so similar

Sorry I guess I dropped my phone too many times and it's blurry unless you hold it super close KGSSHV Carbon 2022 build

Was super excited by the price.....then I noticed pounds not dollars lol

If you have Foobar and MusicBee open at the same time they might conflict. You could also check if there is a new driver for the Topping on ASR, I found one for my D30 on there.

I just set it to WASAPI ( Shared ) and listen to everything that way. Works fine. It also has the same plugin support as Foobar, for example you can use the Audeze Reveal plugin if you want. However I don't do any crazy plugins or EQ with MusicBee. I use Equalizer APO and my RME for that, no...

Have you tried MusicBee? I switched from Foobar years ago. It "just works" and everything is built in, no plugins needed.

Yes its BJT with some "upgraded internals". I mentioned I was getting some "Stax farts" on my CRBN and Audeze sent me a DM and offered to refurbish it for free. Was about two weeks total there and back. Not bad for free. I actually just had a Carbon delivered yesterday from Europe. Listening...

I have an SMSL SP200, which a couple years ago was like the best price/performance amp based on how much power it gave out, it was discontinued and replaced with the SP400. When the Schiit Midgard released I grabbed one to hear the hype. Being fed by my RME ADI-2 the SP200 will not distort no...

Obviously haven't heard it yet. I like how Jude gave a shoutout to the Arya Organic as their second best after Susvara. Excellent headphones. No real desire to drop $7-$9,000 on these, how much better could they really be compared to my newly refurbished Audeze CRBN? Meh.

Blue Hawaii BJT with upgrades. Uses 4 EL34/6CA7 tubes

The Blue Hawaii was also specific designed for the 007. Don't have to buy the BHSE. Can find one used if you really look.

Maybe you would prefer the Lambda series so L300/500/700mk2. There is a popular audio reviewer ZReviews. He says he prefers the Lamba series because the 007/009 sound like "regular headphones" to him.

Just got my CRBN back from Audeze, fully refurbished. Sound great. When people say they sound "dark" or have a "small soundstage" I wonder if they just got a bad pair? Or a real bad amp pairing? Dunno. I would never call these dark:

I just got my Audeze CRBN back in from Audeze today. If I do come I will be sure to bring the Blue Hawaii + CRBN. People seem to really like the tubes:
