Hi folks . Id like to ask if this C2102 is a worthy candidate to go with the refreshened BAF1, as I havent found the matching caf1 so far. I have been using the pre amps from either of my un-recapped 717 or a fully upgraded NAD 3020 series 20 , This pre amp C2102 would have the price I paid...

Hi folks. I had waited 2 months for this headphones and finally received it with broken original wire. The headset was used by the friend who suggested to have the cable changed. I made use of a low quality 3.5mm- RCA cable lying around to make this DIY headphone cable, just to hear how these...

My cousin grabbed a Hegel H1 SE amp for a month and fell in love. The amp, as I sat back and checked out sounded flawless. It had clarity and detail. What else would one ask for? The background experience of years of owning vintage amplifiers in shabby states made the Hegel a clear winner. But...
