    Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier Review

    Raw measurement data from few Audio-gd product reviews on this site. Not a review of Master 11 specifically. I don't have access to other gear to compare. I do not really know how well signal chain gear measurements translate in to audio quality. I am a firm believer of science. Headphone...

    Yamaha A-1 Vintage Amplifier Review

    The specs Yamaha listed for A-1 pale in comparison to their M- and MX- lineup of power amplifiers. So I am bit confused why people are getting excited by the A-1? Some M- and MX- models can be had for around the same price or slightly more. On top of the performance they are some of the best...

    Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier Review

    I have owned Audio-gd Master 11 since 2015. It has served me well but as we now know that Audio-gd gear isn't that great... If the Master 11 would sell for 1000 euros that would be enough for Topping A90 + D90. Especially if both are bought used. A90's and A90D's seem to be well available on the...

    Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier Review

    Just to make sure. Do you recommend the Topping A90 for Hifiman HE-6's? Or is these some other amplifier you'd recommend for the HE-6's? Asking here as not to grave dig the HE-6 thread.

    Hifiman HE6se Review (Headphone)

    They were fine otherwise I guess. Heard that foil/plastic cracking noise whenever I put the headphones on. Pushing the ear cup against my head would make it sound. Only occasionally I heard it when listening music at loud volume. I used them for couple months like that. Then I sent them to...

    Hifiman HE6se Review (Headphone)

    I had that crumbling sound in Audeze LCD2F when the diaphragm had fallen apart. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audeze-lcd-2-impressions-thread.509710/page-426#post-11789261

    Best high end monitors at around 6000-9000 EUR

    I would love to suggest the Genelec 8351. Speaker design is finally moving forwards. Guess size will always win though as top of the line 14 000 euro/pair 1238A SAM seems to be more popular than the cheaper models combined. Finnish audiophiles are simply not buying the 8351 or 8260. Reading...
