AKG K7XX

前言

這支AKG K700系列耳機在十一月的時候從某個網站中被透露出來，因為型號像是開玩笑的K7XX，而且是限量版本，初次看到該文時有些驚訝。 由於AKG並沒在自己的官網中發表，原以為是那邊的山寨耳機，直到該文作者確認是特製版本，也給與非常正面的評價，當下決定衝首批發售。 十一月底開賣，訂購兩支順位都在前50名，十二月中寄出，剛好趕在聖誕節之前收到。

（News） Cavalli Audio Liquid Crimson

Liquid Crimson

With a smaller footprint and thinner profile, this amp is the most modestly-sized amp of the fleet, just 2.5 inches thin. It is a hybrid design with easy access to the single tube from the top of the amp. The tube cage is grated to allow ventilation and a warm-glow view of the tube in operation. You'll have two 1/4" TRS outputs for low and normal output, a single 4-pin single-ended XLR output, and two gain settings. With two line-level inputs, and a third RCA set as a loop-out, your kit's options expand. Delivering about 6 Watts per channel into 50R, there is plenty of power to effortlessly drive any headphone you throw at it with grace. It's a single-ended breeze.

前言

接觸耳機和耳擴的世界開始，GS-X一直是心中的排行前幾名的目標，但要狠下心預訂卻往往猶豫不決。 去年手上一度同時擁有BHA-1和GS-1，經過反覆的比較，考慮許久後決定放手一搏，將兩者出清改換成GS-X當成主力配備。

從跟Justin確認且付款的時間算起，經過了一年又三個多月的等待，此刻總算收到物品。

ecp audio Black Diamond

前言

大約在兩年前，innerfidelity以及Head-Fi上關於L-2耳擴的評論文讓我開始關注ecp audio。 去年換掉Bryston BHA-1後，曾考慮入手L-2或另一台DSHA-1耳擴（可惜這兩台相繼斷貨），最後決定先加入Headamp GS-X mk2的排隊行列，同時等待這台當時還在試作階段的Black Diamond。 經過半年漫長的期盼，今年初總算有後續的消息，在詢問其他人關於試作品的聽感後，毅然地加入預購行列，成為ecp audio的用戶。

據我所知，ecp audio屬於一間像是個人型態的小公司，創立者Doug本身是一位DIYer。 他基於自己的興趣，設計不同於市場上的物品，認為滿足音質上的要求後製作一批成品，隨不再持續生產，朝下一個目標、計畫邁進。 （The "business model" is to make a new design, do a small run, and move on to something else.）
