Hi Johan, I used MyUS to forward it. I see the Drop is active again. Cheers

My amp arrived yesterday: Got it from Drop for a good price. Shipping was a tad more than expected and customs felt the need to inspect every corner. Thanks to Curlycat for all the advice on tubes; I've already experimented with swapping out the stock tubes. Initial impressions is that it...

That's a beautiful collection of tubes. Superb condition too.

Sadly, I don't think its likely for this particular DAC. Airist doesn't seem to have much of a web presence and I have my doubts they're still in business. I stand corrected. Also there are the lingering rumors that the design was copied from  another designer. SBAF has a very long thread on...

Awesome rig! Also keen to hear your impressions of the limetree kit with the HD800. Very nice Cardas cable in the headphones too!

Good question. Audeze spares seem to be a fit tough to get locally. Yip, Amazon or Audeze (direct) is a good option. The Dekonis are apparently good but I'm not sure if they are exactly as the stock pads. Drop discounts the Dekoni pads regularly.

Maybe these are really OPEN headphones!

These do look interesting. But I am not sure what Sennheiser is doing because it will affect the sales of the 600 series especially since there is a newly released HD600 and of course the not so old 660S. But is suspect there may be a surprise in the 600 and perhaps 700 series in the near future...

I thought I'd contribute to this old thread instead of starting a new one. I got my hands on an Airist a few weeks ago. This is one that has done a few rounds originating with Ninja_Theory. It's still in mint condition which is a credit to the head-fi guys on this forum who really take care of...

Great write up ron g ! Its so cool to have all these relatively inexpensive chi-fi options available to us. You can really have an IEM for every use case.

Another gem. The emotion just builds till the end until its almost unbearable. Even more poignant given his demise. Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk

Yeah. I've had several burn out on me. Especially in winter when family members like to plug in heaters! What brand of PDU are you using? I will definitely get one of those.

Thanks for the input Dhiv. Good.question about the type of power supply. To be honest I'll have to go research that subtlety.

Yeah good point. It's a fairly old design though. Been around for for 5 years + ?

Oh yeah! Saving for some redundant but desperately "needed" gear.

Awesome! Thanks for the comprehensive reply Wolvebain. Very pragmatic viewpoints. For sure, the AC210 seems like the better device for an audiophile application.  I'm really warming to this idea of the UPS. The Eaton you suggested is not too bad, given that you also get the extra functionality...

That's a great idea. And you get a bit of battery backup. I actually saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEjGmUbNlCc that spoke about the same idea. Given the premium on the AC210, the UPS may be in the game :thinking:

Pity that. I almost got excited  :facepalm:

Yeah that's pretty scary. Our currency does us no favours.

I'd be keen to hear your views. Not high end , but have you heard the adl EH008?
