I just bought a pair of Mysphere 3.2's and have had a few weeks to get to know them. I wish I'd found this thread before and will need to delve in a bit, maybe I would have found some of the quirks earlier! Firstly, as I've heard mentioned and no doubt covered elsewhere on this thread, these are...

I think I figured it out (maybe!). I had set some EQ for my Headphones (via Roon) to bump up the bass EQ by a few db....I forgot to switch it off when playing through speakers. Not sure if that could have been the issue, but haven't had any issues since. I did switch the amp off a few times in...

I'm switching between 2 DACs, a lab 12 DAC 1 ref and a Pontus II. It doesn't seem to be a consistent/continuous effect.....it just jumps out on some tracks and I notice it. I'm going to do some more checks with and without preamp, and at different gain combinations.

I must admit, the gain setting implementation of this amp is pretty crap. Seriously, a nearly $7000 amp should do better.

I'm wondering....I've been picking up quite notable distortion on some tracks. At first, I thought this might be the transparency of the amp...now I'm not so sure?

Based on my fairly short listening time so far, I prefer my Enleum paired with the Trafomatic pre-amp. On it's own, the Enleum sounds a tiny bit leaner (still very nice) but overall, just a better experience when using the Enleum as a power amp. The added benefit of using the pre-amp is that I...

I also have a Trafomatic preamp (Evolution line one) and have just started experimenting...thanks for your cues!

I received my amp a couple of days ago. Still warming her up but first impressions so far are extremely positive. Like most say, it's quite an achievement for such a small device to power speakers and headphones with so much finesse. I did notice quite a change in sound during the first 24 hrs...

So I signed up for buying this Amp at the end of march and paid the $1700 deposit. But so far nothing whatsoever from Enleum....no invoice, email....nowt! I just have the paypal advice of payment. Anyone else entered into a similar black hole. Not a particularly positive first impression! The...

I've used the Sennheiser HD 800, hifiman he100se, Heddphone and now zmf Atrium. ALL sound fantastic on the Stratus. I do use a tube preamp with the Stratus, a trafomatic Evolution Line 1, which gives more gain and additional headroom. This combination also drives the Heddphone very well which...

I just received my Atrium's this week. I've been wanting a ZMF headphone for a while and was close to buying the Verite open a few months ago, but for some reason I held back (not like me!)....but I'm glad I did. The Atriums sounded more like what I was after, based on the descriptions of the...

I placed an order for one, or at least paid the $1500 order deposit, but not sure if I'll proceed based on the price hike. It was already very expensive and feel that the increase is difficult to justify. I'm sure a 4kg box that delivers the sound (to headphones and speakers) at the level of...

Interesting....I already had a preamp that I was happy with (Trafomatic Evolution line one). It's their entry level amp, but really nice. Very simple circuit and superb components. It hooks up extremely well with the Lab 12 dac 1 ref. I also experienced quite a long burn in with the lab 12, but...

I'm not an expert in the chips used, but I think the implementation overall has a much bigger influence on the sound. I've heard great dacs with fairly cheap and cheerful (older) chips being used. My old Musical paradise MP1 was a perfect example. The use of good components and of course someone...

Only relative to the Shuguang 2a3'S which were the stock supply. I've used a ton of PSVane tubes in other amps, mainly 845's/ 211's (TII versions) and find them to be very good tubes...and reliable! The ACME's are pretty special tubes and I can't really find anything that isn't good about them...

It was Shuguang 2A3's I think. From memory the stock tubes were fine for the first few months as the unit burned in. It included the Winged C (SED) 5U4G rectifier and sovtek 6N1P. I eventually changed out the 2A3's for sophia mesh plates and used those for years with great results. (I still have...

The Stratus is a fantastic amp. Mine is one of the early ones from 2016. I have PSVane ACME 2A3's and a U52 rectifier in it currently. I actually use a preamp with mine (Trafomatic evolution line one) to give it a bit more gain with the Heddphone. The Enleum will be mainly for speaker duty, but...

I just placed an order for this Amp! Will need to wait a few months, but really looking forward to hearing it. I was actually looking for a class A (SS) amp to use in the summer months as my Line Magnetic 518ia gets so hot, that my listening room gets to be unbearable. (I'm in NZ - no a/c!). A...

Hi folks. I've had my Lab 12 DAC 1 reference for about 3 months or so. It replaced a chord qutest DAC with an mru LPS, and offered a significant improvement, especially in staging and improved timbre/tonality. I also purchased a Pontus II to handle the relatively few higher res files I have. The...

I think that's the issue with wanting to "upgrade" every 5 minutes? I think folks should consider settling down ...taking a deep breath and keeping your gear (and be happy with it) for at least a few years. There is always going to be something "better". If you play into this you'll never be...

I'm hearing improvements everyday! I'm probably close to 200 hrs by now. Reading some of the previous posts, I'll be interested to try my Trafomatic Evolution line one tube pre-amp with the Kinki. The Trafomatic gets very little press, but it looks like a shindo pre-amp inside. Very basic...

Hey folks...it's been a while. I moved to New Zealand earlier this year and still waiting for my beloved Stratus to make it here in my shipment. In the meantime I bought a pair of Hedd Headphones and running on a Kinki Studio THR-1 amp. It's a nice setup, but really hoping that the Hedd's can be...

New Kinki THR-1 owner here and currently using the HEDD headphone. Still burning in, but so far very happy! Plenty of power, even for the Hedd's. Still more burn in time required I think and waiting to connect up a better dac (using IBASSO DX300 currently until my Qutest arrives). Very much...

I just received my Hedd's and my initial impressions are excellent. I'm running them through a Kinki Studio THR-1 headphone amp, which I bought as a match for the Hedd. So far so good, although the Kinki needs 300 hrs burn-in to sound it's best apparently! Dac duty is limited at the moment to an...

I think folks need to appreciate that a lot of these new ( and frankly very innovative) companies are little more than hobbyist's with some ambition, and the price reflects that. If one of the more established brands was making an amplifier like this, it would cost two to three times as much. I...
