Kavent S33 owners...are you out there?

Cool. Another Kavent owner coming out of the wood work. Very nice set-up you got their Kinn. I was contemplating buying an S-22 for my 2nd system but I needed a preamp with a good phono section and headphone jack. I needed to keep the 2nd system more simple than my main system where I have all sorts of separates. The S22 was very tempting though.

Wolf. Again you crack me up. Keep em coming. I saw the Bravo headphone amp but decided for a headphone amp from (you are going to get a kick outta this) Schiit Audio. Yup it is pronounced like you would think. I got the Valhalla headphone amp but haven't hooked it up to the S33 yet but might soon.

Melanco: Any luck with the XLR cable quest? Did you audition the Acoustic Zen Reference XLRs yet? Those Audioquest ones Wolf mentions are nice. If I ever get a source that was XLR outputs I may consider the Mogami Gold Studio XLR Male to XLR Female Studio Mic Cable (3') for them. I'm still pretty cheap with cables still.

I am going to be auditioning the Absolute, Silver And Matrix next week. By the way guys, you should try the HIFI Fuses(supreme) tweak on the Kavent preamp and amp.

Hello,
Whom are you guys buying these Kavent units from ...?

regards,

I guess you have to email Kelsie Audio for Kavent, although I haven't communicated with them since I bought the S33...good luck!

'Jedinite...I gave up for now (impatient, and the Diamonbacks I had bought previously started sounding really great) on the DBS 'Quests and bought another pair of Diamondbacks from the same Ebay dude for $65 bucks a pair...safe buy I think, and after my issues with the Mogami/Neutrik cables it was great to see how good the Diamondbacks sound in my system. I think the fact that they construct 'em in China makes them a steal really...just a beautiful cable. I do buy into the technology of solid wire in a somewhat neutral dialectric. I have heard of the Shiit Audio thing someplace (I suppose in my headphone amp search)...let me know how it sounds.

Just looked up the Shiit Audio site and am completely impressed. I now want one (my thing in audio is really "bang for the small buck" and the Shiit stuff just looks so cool)...although I haven't been listening to headphones that much except when recording I'm kinda getting back into it for late night fun...I even ordered a better quality JJ gold pin 12au7 for my silly BravoV2, pushing its value up another 19 bucks.
