Been gamer for 35 years. And audiophile for 22 years. most people will find this overkill. I play cod with stax sr009s for sound location reasons. Hifiman susvara when the stax start feeling to analytical and for more immersive experience. Most of the time fall back to good tried and tested...

Sennheiser true wireless /2 without a doubt

Spent quite a bit of time swapping between hd800 and stax sr009s with ifi pro dsd and perreux speaker amp. Stax very quick on transients and incredible detail retrieval but lacking some warmth compared to hd800. Can i dare to say less bass? Enjoying both cans immensely. Considering what more...

I decided to keep it ifi and go for the pro Ican just to be told that it has been discontinued. they are building one last one for me. think of using my Krell evo402 to drive the esl :) havent even had the Stax baby running yet because of the amp situation

have loved my hd800 for years together with various sennys. recently purchased a Stax sr009s and riving with ifi stack (pro dsd, esl, ican(when its eventually built). listen to various music (vocal-rock). want to get into one more high end cost o object headphone to handle the rock better. would...

I would like to know if any headphiers beleive the ifi esl (energiser) and ifi idsd pro (dac) is good enough for the stax sr009s? I took the leap last year and got the stax. I have heard good things about the woo/stax and lte(linear tube audio-z10e)/stax combo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes going to use balanced. input sensitivity is 4,8v on 1,25kw monos. Please help. So voltage input=voltage max/gain ? for balanced on 1,25kw monos its 4,8=220/gain?  Gain of 45,8 must be  incorrect?  or is vmax ,amps wattage?  input sensitivity for mc2301 (300w) is 3,4v on balanced. i read...

This is exactly what ive done to some extent. i have tesla powerwall 2's running and swap to them when listening. im trying to go off the grid completely but will only know for sure when they solar/inverter side is up and running. This leads me to my last question...Should swopping to the...

I have been playing around with multiple furman 215ac in chain ,running 1 component (amp or source) per unit and found that it helped the noise  floor of turntables and receivers but took away the slam and sparkle of the amps (classe m600s).  This could be due to power requirements of amps .  I...

Looking for some members with very powerful amps running through power conditioners or regeneration to shed some light on the negatives of running 500wpc or more through them. It seems the verdict is not yet out if its snake oil, power limiting or the nect step up to audio nirvana

Looking to biamp mcintosh mc2301 and the 1,25kw monoblocks on bowers and wilkens 800 matrix.  Trying to make sense of the gain for each and using diffirent ohm taps to balance the midrage and tweeter(2301?s Tubes) with the bass(1,25 kw solid states). Anyone know the math to determine gain?

I just cant beleive it!!! This was the brand i went to go listen too as kid with father dreaming one day to own a set of 800s, which i do alongside other brands like porsche which i idealised. There is nothing aging regarding refinement and a impeccably built thing. Maybe just need some active...
