  1. Okay, I understand.

    Now, as a farewell, I hope you, veteran and clever forum users, can understand me too

    Puto foro de mierda de ancianos, cornudos, vuestra puta mujer os pone los cuernos con vuestro hijo porque teneis un micro pene y estáis todo el día aquí intentando ser superiores, cuando sois unos gordos de mierda con 50 o más años.

    Chuparme la polla, hijos de puta amargados, yo al menos conozco a mi padre.

    "You are not as clever as your mom says you are"

    You are not as clever as you think, your son bangs your wife while you're on Head-Case.

     

    Now, ban me please, cornudo hijo de puta.

  2. I know it is much more expensive than Holo, but I'm drooling over the new Metrum Adagio, with the new DAC Two modules and the volume control using the DAC ladders...

    EDIT: They will also launch an amplifier next year, called "Forte", to use with Adagio. To my clueless eyes looks like a nice product but you know, I'm clueless so worthless opinion, would like if someone with knowledge says if is worth it or not:

  3. Price confirmed: 50K USD for headphones & amp combo.

    Rumored price for the headphone alone is 10K USD.

    Looking at Stax Omega line of products life cycle, 009 successor should come this year...way more interesting than this HE1000 on steroids.

    There are pics of Shangri-La's final version at the other place. Same wood veneer than HE-560 (or at least it looks identical), so for 10k you get legendary Hifiman build quality too (lol).

  4. That website is full of scams, last year they had a Nagra HD DAC, with optional PSU, optional platforms and Nagra CD player, all for 5000€.

    Dragging one of the images to google showed that the same images were in Audiogon (which, of course, was the real ad).

    From the main page of the website:

  5. I was very tempted to buy Audio GD Master 10 integrated amplifier, I know that Audio GD makes incredible stuff at low prices, Master 10 is 250w/8ohm in class A/B...but, searching in the web, I found this integrated amplifier:

    Dussun R30

    DUS-R30-004,w750.jpg

    This is the description and specifications of the amplifier:

    The R30  beside others in its design offers the following highlights:

    High precise volume control in 0.1dB steps with left and right channel fine-synchronized:

    Considering the volume control device is one of the souls of an amplifier, R30 employes a DUSSUN- developed volume control device, which set up by a 16-bit performance, digital controlled analogue circuit and possesses 1/65,535 level superfine resolution within whole volume control range.

    This volume control comprising circuit high linear solid state switch and precision resistors, ensures precise synchronization of R30's left and right channel volume control at any position within its 80 dB volume control range.

    It practically eliminates all the problems such as  sound quality degradation, application intervention from frequency and phase distortion, volume synchronization errors, sliding friction noise, limited lifetime attribute of traditional volume control potentiometers, various voltage ratio, and so on.

    No matter whether working principle or practical performance, as a fact the R30 reached the highest technical level fully among the state of the art hi-end amplifier volume control and takes part  "Club of 0.1 dB volume control'.

    Power output stage with low distortion, non-feedback at power output terminal:

    The new designed "Optimized Self-Adaptive Bias Circuit", much different from routine design where output stage feedback always leads to large non-linear distortion especial at high frequency side, improves significantly linearity in output stage signal crossover region, while maintaining large power output without switch distortion. By adopting this system R30 accomplished super low crossover distortion.

    Along with the most nature and spacious tone from a "non-feedback at output terminal amplifier'', R30 achieved the perfect result of full power output, low distortion, high sound quality in whole audio frequency.

    Thorough independent dual-mono channel design:

    R30 left and right channel circuit as well as control units are equipped with individual independent power supply systems. Data used to control individual channel is transmitted optically.

    Absolute electric isolation made R30 is true to its name, dual mono channel amplifier, working same as two sets of precisely synchronized independent mono channel amplifiers, with nil stereo crossover between left and right channel, resulting in pinpoint accurate sound images.

    Strong control and pre-set functions, such as:

    • Individually pre-set gain level for all input terminals

    • Individually pre-set channel name for all input terminals

    • Display screen brightness adjustable for 4 levels

    • Maximum volume pre-set to protect expensive loudspeakers

    • Fade-in volume when switching on

    • Aluminum full function remote control unit

    About "Hyper Class A"

    The "Hyper Class A" is a "Green" Class A solution, whose technically successful adaptive-bias circuit achieves the extra-large class A power output objective under conditions of low-power consumption and low heat producing. The adaptive-bias circuit with an ideal specification permits the amplifier to maintain class A mode output even if the speakers 'impedance drops largely and output power increases several times.

    This situation is different from the traditional pure class A amplifiers' inevitable situation of returning to class B when the speaker load impedance goes down, and is much close to the ideal class A amplifier essence.

    I'm not an expert in amplification, I'm looking for an integrated amp so please, to the people in the forum with knowloedge, is this the bargain of the century or too good to be true?

    2x200W at 8ohm, all in class A (wtf!!!)

    I could hear this babies yesterday in that exact room (picture is not mine)...WOW

    Speakers are YG Sonja 1.2, and the amplifier was Accuphase A-70...best sound I heard, transient response is crazy, better than in my sr-207, they never sounded sibilant or harsh and sounstage was taller than me (like almost 2 meters tall)...I want to sell my fckn house

    40 years ago, they held up well against everything out there for the same price. As I remember they were $600 a pair. The JBL's were a bit more, and the B&O 5700 were also about $600 a pair.

    I love JBL, of course things change with time, but right now, their LSR 305 monitors are nice, I have one pair in my home studio and can't be happier.
