Quicksilver Headphone Amp
@arafiq wow. You described exactly what I hear from the Arya. "Hefty, lush and rich".I’m getting that sound using the headphone output of my Hegel integrated, (which actually beat my Burson Conductor V2+ headphone amp), so I can’t imagine how much... 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
Wow. Such glowing opinions of the headphone amp.I have the Hifiman Arya which is 35ohms.All of the glowing reviews I hear of the Quicksilver headphone amplifier are with higher impedance headphones such as the Sennheiser.Does anyone have positive ...

Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated or Separates?
Charles, LM has been on my radar for some time now. Maybe one day I'll pull that trigger. 
Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated or Separates?
@millercarbon I had the Raven Nighthawk MKIII in home for audition two weeks ago. I was not impressed. VERY noisy, high noise floor, lots of humm and hissing out of tweeters and in midrange drivers. I’m guessing the tubes were not tested or listen... 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
To the OP...The best advice I've ever heard (and I wish I heard this years ago), was:It all sounds fake. Just pick your favorite kind of fake. 
Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???
@freediver  glad to hear.I have been LOVING my Hegel integrated. That said, got the itch for tubes again so I decided to try a Raven Nighthawk MKIII integrated. The manufacturer claims that its 20 watts will sound like 100 solid state watts. I've ... 
Best DAC for around $2,500 or less
So many current dacs of today sound hyper detailed and not natural at all. Get yourself an r2r DAC or something like the Yamamoto that I have. In my opinion, it sounds more like real music.

Have a problem with my JOB INT - how to contact company for service...
Oh, I misunderstood. I had the 225 amp as well... Twice actually. Should have kept it... Twice. Lol.Love my Hegel though. My system has changed so many times since the last Job product I had so it would be impossible for me to make a comparison ag... 
Have a problem with my JOB INT - how to contact company for service...
I sold my INT a while ago. I currently have a Hegel Rost which I love. I'm curious though...1) Job is being resurrected?2) Job has a new integrated out? 
Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC
I sold the Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S speakers. While they did some things very well, in the end they just weren’t for me.I replaced them with a pair of Nola Contenders. Much more natural sounding. I think they’ll be lovely with the Yamamoto and Rav... 
Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC
@charles1dad Basically, yes. I was using the Hegel Rost as an all-in-one (DAC/PRE/AMP). Let me tell you... This thing is a killer piece. I’m really not comfortable with selling it.The Raven Nighthawk has not arrived yet. I received two emails from... 
Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC
@charles1dad Oops. Sorry. Meant Duelund. I have a close friend who is very handy with audio equipment/ soldering, etc. Maybe I’ll ask him to do it. Where did u purchase them, may I ask?The Yamamoto will be fed into a Raven Audio Nighthawk MKIII. P... 
Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC
Well, I’ve just acquired the Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC and... Wow. So natural sounding with beautiful tone. I’m floored. I have no patience for current DACs with their hyper detailed sound. The Yamamoto is so easy to listen to and brings incredible joy ...
