I have a JDS Lab Element 2 I purchased about 3 years ago, and I could not be happier with it. Now I just wish JDS Labs would make Power Amps for speakers! 🤞

[@ek8507]

32:15 i have an element 1, and for a long while i had it on its side adhered to my PC case (on the left) on my desk. knob facing to the right, fantastic use of space in a messy desk setup. highly recommended with a side mount.

[@aj0413_]

Options is always nice, but I kinda like how JDS has committed to a smaller subset of things they think actually make a difference to sound/user experience for desk headphone users. More focused products/software generallu just work better

[@masterxyr]

that knob though. wish I could control everything in my life which such a knob. In fact, I might end up with one of these as since you can feed pre-out from it, I'd use it to control the volume on the other amp. And it's an amp too. Very convenient.

Plans on reviewing tiger Fox 360? Those weird sound pannle things

[@control9lcme]

18:38 "it's like six decibels" Almost, it is 2.43x, which, if my calculations are correct, translates to about 7.69 decibels :) And while it is not really that much of a use in Balanced version, in RCA high gain is 4.73x instead, and it makes much more sense there.

[@TheFIghtin]

My only gripe I had with my OG Element were the rubber feet always coming off. I replaced them with velcro, and had it in place on my table. It's now my daily driver again, as I have become too lazy to unpack from moving yet

[@ZReviews]

That did happen to mine as well. I replaced them with Blue-Tac and stuck them to whatever my surface was.

[@Prism24]

I know you said these can drive 99% of your cans perfectly well, but does that include Argons (50 and/or 60)?

[@itsmedravfrom1987]

Nah, not even close

[@ZReviews]

Those are the 1%,

Love the SIVGA SV021

[@beezlebub3955]

God that WA7* is so sexy, I want one so bad. I think it’s absurd the prices some companies charge for things, if it’s that that good though🤷🏼‍♂️ my MT602 with 1952 Sylvania tubes is pretty amazing though, highly recommend it, it makes my DT770’s actually bearable at volumes

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Grab a Little Dot MKII and throw those tubes in it, that's your next upgrade just replace the power tunes with any decent Russian Tube and you're set. At least that's how it worked for me and how I upgraded from my 602, Lyr 2 and Cavelli Hybred.

[@PaperBoat.]

I'm not a professional... But I have JBL Professional 305p MKii studio monitors to listen music. Please tell me which audio interface will be the best for listen to music on my new JBL Professional studio monitors? I can't find any DAC with true balanced output... So, I'm seeking for audio interface with the best DAC built-in. Please help.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

A balanced stack without a balanced headphone out??? Nope, sorry JDS maybe next time...

[@pobutscrackerbox]

mmmm, Cheetos and soda :)

Hi Zeos are you going to be getting the new Koss headphone BT740iQZ, Iv'e seen one review which seem really good

[@kylehowdy]

Wow, 2 seconds into the video and for some reason I killed the prime Minister of Malaysia. *blue steel*

[@ToBeSimplyMe]

Am i the only one who is bugged but the the go pro mounted ND filter getting into the frame when Z lowers his head? ive been seeing it in a couple of videos. Its mostly visible on the left but it also shows up on the right

[@ZReviews]

Yeah I notice it but the added quality of the variable ND is too great. I dialed in the settings a bit more after this and the next video. Blame 16:10

[@ToBeSimplyMe]

@@ZReviews I'd rather blame go pro for making a dumbass mounting system :)

[@k.-flynn]

I picked up an element 2 for $200 a month ago, just didn't want the screen at all.

[@Tacet137]

What the hell is with this aspect ratio

[@regiiment]

Hey! Looking to purchase two Fluid Audio FX80's and wasn't sure whether to go with the Fluid Audio FC10S sub or if there's a better alternative for the money then do you have a review of a sub you would recommend in its place? Thanks!

[@ZReviews]

If you watch the last vid I kinda poo-poo the all subs by studio monitor companies. Go check it out as the way you are hooking it up might allow for any number of decent subs.

[@randomchannel323]

I think it's misleading to say the P2 is a rebranded Aiva. They are not the same and Aiva is higher quality

[@ZReviews]

The headband changed and the pads went to the V2 Aiva. I recall the sound being very similar in the end.

[@NA-vj8yr]

He thinks the letter "z" is racist? what?

[@ZReviews]

There are articles. Ukraine has made it officially a hate symbol and implore the world to follow suit.

I see. Worldly collective understanding and consciousness have become far less interesting to me over the last few years.

Sivgas always been a safe recommendation for any normie who asks me how to get into headphones that aren't Beats.

[@Thec0nv1ct777]

I got 2nd hand mk3 argons from ebay and they came with a balanced 4 pin, so im like stuck tryin to find certain amps and dacs. Or an all in one.

[@ZReviews]

Adapters do exist, you can run any balanced headphone on a normal single ended amp, but not the other way around.

[@Thec0nv1ct777]

@@ZReviews my bad, i do have a single ended non balanced cable but already having the 4 pin balanced, im like i should try it out while i have it.

@@masterxyr Thank You

[@jamiescott1218]

@@masterxyr I knew the numbers already, was asking more about the lived experience. I've always been a big fan of the big knob but I don't want to leave anything on the table. Currently debating between archel xl and this. Or k9pro but that's less so because it's gigantic.

[@masterxyr]

@@jamiescott1218 k9pro is a must. but I love the cayin h6 amp. so gorgeous, However, for those of us who cannot resist a good knob, it's inevitable. we gonna get one sooner or later :D

[@redstang5150]

LOVE the huge knob. Rear buttons continues to ruin this.

[@ZReviews]

Eh, I think since the knob exists. You will always have access over the top. And if we talking AESTHETICS . This grand.

[@redstang5150]

@@ZReviews I guess if you don't ever switch to line out on the back and leave it on most of the time it'd be no big deal, but I switch to my speakers enough where that would bug me. Would rather the line outs were just always active then b/c the power button on my speakers is accessible.

[@KenKiLLa08]

Can you connect the EL2 Plus Balanced Amp and Dac together? Just to listen to iem's and headphones?

[@ZReviews]

Yes?
