Hey sep90

 

How's the new amp?

 

We need more pics and a review!

yo bro~!

now busy burning the amp and telos xlr and i havent get my headphones recabled to balanced yet

need some time to as i need to change my connectors to xlr but i had a 1st hand time with Jojo's Black Dragon HD800...

great separation, very very smooth + musical...now my source r bottlenecking the rest of the chain

thanks bro

phew long journey but well worth the pain

now to recable all to xlr hmm

is that a chopping board where Phoenix seated ?

you preparing fire phoenix dish ah?

why no footers under board? cannot leh, you king of tweaks how can no isolation under board

Phoenix won't sing in that way leh

 

haha.... how's the Phoenix sound bro?

well in my case it is singing on my hd800 and my franketein...

even the lousy chopping board managed to give me timbre with my harmonixs in between my papan cincang

but if u look closer there is a isolation taoc carbon cast under board itself...onli the cheapest and out of shape is the board but that i will sort it out in my next upgrade

hmm still burning the amp and the telos gold reference together with it but i can say smooooothhhh like butter....any hd800 owners will be proud of having it to drive their overpiercing treble and giving it more bass depth...almost like B22 we tested long time ago....only not as dynamic as B22 but transparency and musicalitly is slighter better

Harmonix footers on cheap chopping board?!! That's very wrong leh. And no proper rack. Some more stacking components! Half f**k leh. How can!!

Harmonix must goes with this kind of rack:

thanks for showing to me but after offloading on my balanced interconnnect,amp etc etc

i back at square one again....but next upgrade will be a proper rack since i aledi has limited space there + the power supply is really really damm hot due it's a class A biased amp

as i said, even a lousy chopping board able to give me good timbre and separation together with harmonixs...wat if i starting to use proper rack for my harmonix collections?

yup

Almost all TT comes with dust cover. I believe most us are most wiling to help you in setting up. Don't follow the snake handler Sep, cables can never give you that kind of improvement.

ahem look whos talking when he first introduced his 3 of his arcolink maxcels cables to us

Oi...Eric...still waiting for pictures!!!

coming soon bro...still managing workload and the same time sizing the pics

but here some candy shots for u guys to c

if i not mistaken, his k1000 is terminated with stefan equinox cable with speaker outputs....

it is the bass heavy version since the serial no is less than 1k lol

XLR output Eric & jojo...you may consider this new phono amp

me maybe but i enjoying the Ear HP4 signature so much that if i going for TT then Ear phono amp i will aim for

but for Jojo well he's dead stuck on RSA phono amp haha

You forgot MADONNA! Michael Jackson! Sarah Mclachlan's Wintersong (that one killed Kachui too ) You didn't stand a chance...

oh almost forget michael jackson...damm the track (beat it ) was the one deliver the finishing blow to me with ps-1.....

This is GENOCIDE!!!!

 

*Lol! What a number... my 666th post.

jojo bro...wat ever u do dont let the lawyer take out his nirvana lp, rodrigo y gabriela, eric clapton and wat else ? cant remember.. he offload every bullets,grenades and rockets to me when he offered me ps-1 for listening.....hd800 was the main dishes when he plug the crocodile eyes....i was aledi critically injured

You wouldn't worry if you had seen Eric last night...

dunno wat to think.....

source 1st or amp 1st sigh sigh sigh

god damm this thread for letting ppl like blondie, s.e.x. man and mr.lawyer running around spreading the virus ...sigh

you mentioned the Maverick has viciously forward midrange but is that through the internal DAC or just the headamp section alone ?

 

from your description of the Audiotrak's sound, seems like that's more to my liking but it's not very powerful so you think it can drive things like K702 or similar headphones as i will upgrade my headphones later ?

 

one thing is for sure, the Maverick offers a lot plus got more upgrade options like power cord and fuse some more

 

headache lah...........and got one guy suggest me Musical Fidelity V8Can some more..........aiyoh..........

the headamp itself the dac is not as good as other standalone dac...

and it's most depend on yur headphones as well ...i using hd650/hd800 and beyer dt880 600 ohm with it and overall my powercords/tunings/interconnects bring the mids forwards...

now trying to figure wat i going to buy...sigh

godammit!!!!!!

got tricked by some1 and he unexpectly put a huge trap for me to step into......

somemore he knows that i dun like electrostatics but pair with his D1 maverick and brought out his PS-1 and Hd800......

bought his killing lps and kena cincang cham

mavericks defiently rock in lower end bass and has viciously forward midrange ...

well the highs r a bit lacking compare to audiotrak and precisions not as good as audiotrak if u r using the mavericks dac itself....the dac is ok ok imo but i skipped it since i using Xindak dac-5 modded for it

the internal amp on maverick is very good and for that price it is a no brainer...

iamp is very good in driving hd800 since the hd800's trebles in need of control and warm bass with it

maverick will drive any headphones easily but whether it is the soundsignature that u wan it depends on u entirely

since u aledi mention the advantages and since if u have powercords then maverick will change according to powercords signature...and not forgetting maverick have exchangeable fuse so that the upgrade options r a lot anyone tried hifi fuse and isoclean fuse on it?

if u worry bout the reliability, i have the older version maverick and it doesnt give me any problem ...the internal structure built like a tank and it will shine after burning in for 200 hours...the highs will settle down and bass become very deep and smooth...

well that is said as much but in the end u will need to hear both whether they suits to yur taste and not relying entirely on reviews ...

cheers!

if u like fast bass, forward mids then maverick is yur gun

audiotrak is more to neutrality, precision and slightly more soundstage

both r opamps changeable and it is very easy to swap

however u may need to hear both whether it suits to yur taste

but since u using k701 the ideal amp to drive it is the maverick

more enough power to drive my beyer dt880 600 ohm bout 40% volume

that is too...... ahem tempting ????

cannot must suppress all desire....(chanting sutra )

u r not alone bro....

akabane eh?

wat r u doing here ? haha

anyway glad to have u to join our sg forums

put it this way, since i have vdh optocoupler mk2 optical cable and an oyaide bnc to rca sr-510 coaxial cable

maybe i can help u out there

i did borrow aron's home brewed rca coaxial cable which he kindly loaned it to me for comparison....

with the aron's cable i found it has same characteric as my VDH optical cable....very analogue

took me some few tracks from technos, orchestrals, and fast music to notice the different bout it..

vdh has better highs, and more airyiness while aron's cables have much thicker mids, and tighter bass..

couldnt noticed the difference at 1st then when switched to Hd800 straight it showed up

well hands down, the oyaide sr-510 wins over both of the cables...cos it using bnc ....

even fresh of the box, the soundstage were well defined,fast and articulate bass and highs were present and very airy like giving a sense of space in between and mids r very well expressed ...bottomline is the cable r very very dead quiet and u can hear all those mircodetails...

happy birthday !! eardoc

just wondering where we are will be meeting ?

Better yet. Buy the thorens td309 tt with built in suspension in its feet and you can sell your footers

maybe..... but it will take extreme dark force to completely convert me to TT

heard Stanley 404/T1 rig and Jason's Omega Stax II with Blue Hawaii with TT as source...

imo good but cannot still drag me to the dark side hehe

everything related to TT

ya, in fact we all are self poisoning

i believe the TT do need to sit on a stable platform. have no experience on Vibrapods. but the Taoc 25 footers donesn't work on my TT.

 

*listening to David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (Japan press)

hmm wan to try harmonix 999mt with syn100 under TT?

add 606 below yur amp then sure got effect

:

lol

i will relinquish my title to u if u wan haha

welcome back jojo!

lucky u werent not there when the DARK SITHS r preparing for their attacks on us

for example and 1 possibility i am still the one left

i am sure that Jojo has it since he has Rsa Apache to drive his hd800 balanced

kindly ask him for the lend
