New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k
Another much cheaper option is to send the Stax headphone to Mitch Barnett and let him create a convolution filter. https://accuratesound.ca/store/#_filter

If you do not want warmth and want a perfectly silent background, then check out the Holo Serene and Benchmark LA4. I used the HPA4 (same as LA4) with a warm Meze headphones and it was very good. I have not heard the Serene yet but the LA4 is my f... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
On second thought, I am going to wait on the LA4 coming back from repairs. I want to test out the modded GAN1 with the Yamaha NS5000 speaker I have coming in the next 2 weeks. If the NS5000 sounds as good as the LRS+ on the GAN1, I should dump th... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
I setup the LRS+ this morning in my office, 12 x 11 x 9 with 4 additional feet in the closet where my desk is stuffed. The room is treated, and I think it is sonically in very good shape. I learned over the weekend that my Benchmark LA4 preamp ha... 
Meze Empyrean/Elite new Angled pads. £199 well spent or a total joke.
Meze is a good company and would give them the benefit of the doubt. You likely will find your answer here. Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
The young demographics' excitement with music reproduction is with headphones. Cheaper, easier to get into, and can exceed 2-channel in many ways.

@arafiq I got lucky. When I called the dealer on Monday they said a new delivery was expected the next day. Lucky for me they had an extra unclaimed pair. I will pick them up on Sunday but will only be able to listen on Monday. @jjss49 I sold my ...

Got some good news today. My LRS+ is ready for me to pick up. Problem is finding time to make that 1-hour drive. I will have the KEF KC62 sub arriving on Friday. Since I listen for about 15 hours a day in my office these 2 units should get worked...

Goosebumps listening to his music today.

Growing up in Canada we used to sing his songs at school music classes. I still listen to his music.

Not sure if I have vast experience, just recent experience. I placed a 50% deposit on the LRS+ today. I may get lucky and get the LRS+ this week, otherwise, maybe another 3 months of waiting. I emailed Maga Risers earlier today and will order a s... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I have put up my Lumin X1 up for sale if anyone with the GAN1 is interested. I may trade it in tomorrow if I get a good offer. I am going to upgrade that DAC to the Playback Designs and the Playback Designs Stream-IF gives me the streaming functio... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Been listening some more to the modded GAN1 and my KEF LS50 Meta. Still not at the uber sonic levels of the CODA #16 gear but damn this is still some fine sound. Next month, I will be buying my Livingroom speaker, the Yamaha NS5000, and I think I ...
