| Focal Celestee I think I am going to buy the Schiit Lyr+. USA built, good reviews (incl compared to SA-1), remote controlled, good power, price & form factor. Several user express great compatibility with Clear’s. Selectable SS & tube options, which all... | |
| Focal Celestee @tony1954 Thanks, the Elears were a predecessor to the Clears and have, per reviewers a very similar sound signature. The Auralic is a very well regarded HP amp, albeit discontinued, but available on the used market at an attractive price point.... | |
| Focal Celestee @soix Thank you for your thoughts and recommendations. Just processed the return of the Celestee’s and the order for the Clear’s. The Clear’s are on back order, but they assured me they will have them in August. I am sure I will enjoy them. Will... | |
| Focal Celestee @soix Thank you for your recommendation. The Hifiman Arya is a great recommendation with great reviews. However my preference is to not buy Chinese products. I bought my Chord DAC vs a Denafrips for that reason, even though the latter may have b... | |
| Focal Celestee @icanthear Thanks, I agree. Here’s my thoughts after much research. Return the Celestee’s & buy the original new stock Clear’s from headphones.com (only $91 more). For my application, I don’t need closed backs, and didn’t properly research t... | |
| Focal Celestee Thanks, I agree with the open back design… something like the Focal Clear. As I understand it, open back provides a better sound stage, but not sure it would improve clarity, that probably lies with the HP amp. Is there a HP amp you would recomme... | |
| Best 12AU7? I have the following NOS tubes: Brimar CV4003 (upscale audio) Siemens silver plate (eBay) Telefunken medical red tips (Brent Jesse) I prefer the Brimar’s for their overall smoothness, but for your preference the Siemens. Everyone seems to lov... | |
| Hearing aid question BTW, piano music sounded wonderful. I can see why the Grand Piano review loved them. | |
| Hearing aid question @rikkipuu @rcm1203 I did buy the ASI IEM’s, and soon thereafter returned them. I found their overall sound and harmonics to be good to very good… except bass. My KEF R11’s, Rythmic F12SE’s and miniDSP are tuned beautifully. Most hearing aids (... | |
| Hearing aid question I am buying the ASI’s. Will let you know my impressions. | |
| Hearing aid question @larsman Unfortunately, there are no audiophile hearing aids. The IEM’s, such as the ASI’s would work for voice also but are ear buds with a small belt pack so not inconspicuous. I also read that while other voices sound fine, your own voice sou... | |
| Hearing aid question Their answer was in response to the following: For ASI, it appears the audiophile market is untapped although your product may be the best available solution. An audiophile wish list would be very high quality microphones with known frequency res... | |
| Hearing aid question For those interested in the ASI 3DME IEM’s, attached is their response on their utilization by audiophiles. Thank you for contacting us! We also received your comments from Grand Piano Passion. We greatly appreciate your interest in 3DME and hop... | |
| Hearing aid question A couple other thoughts. IMHO don’t knock Costco unless you tried them. Their testing equipment is outstanding and brand availability and pricing is unmatched. I ended up buying from an audiologist, but Costco was very good. Also there are music a... | |
| Hearing aid question @rcm1203 If you buy them, please let me know your impressions. I plan to buy them as a birthday present for myself 😎 in early July. Wife can’t say no if it’s for my birthday… right? For those on the thread, I recommend you take the time to rea... |
