So, decision has been made, course is set   :wheel:  CAVALLI LIQUID CARBON
I checked all my gear this morning once again...
The Violectric keeps on being dissapointing, especially the subdued highs without any energy. (e.g. Buddy Guy playing Hard Time Killing Floor: his guitar almost seems to have nylon strings! This sounds just fabulous through my speakers with their ribbon tweeters).
I also checked all suggestions made here on Changstar the last few days...
and I come to the conclusion the Liquid Carbon could just fit the bill  :)p7, even though it is going to be more expensive because I am in Germany... but it is nice to have something a little exotic here and I really like Alex Cavalli, just from reading about him or watching photos from him. Gives me a good feeling about where my money goes.

So my chain as of september will be: Macbook Pro - Audirvana+ - Concero HD - Liquid Carbon - ATH-W3000ANV

My order nr is 100000877. I guess that number might indicate soon there will be 500 sold units.

Thanks to Changstar for their great expertise.

Congrats, I wonder when the 500 units will be done. I've heard some people speculating it'll be around 910~ or so...

Last order number I saw posted on the web was 910, so there can´t be that many left anymore...
This week my ATH-W3000ANV will travel to Poland to get recabled with a nice balanced cable + 4-pin XLR-plug by Matthew from Forza Audioworks. :-DD

I was order 405, in the first few minutes of when Cavalli was accepting orders.  And I'm 10th or so.  So it must be close to a sold out situation, keeping in mind some orders are for other Cavalli amps...

My order was 909.

Coming from the Ragnarok, my expectations are of compromise. Can't wait to hear it though. Hoping for no delays in shipment.

I just ordered a Liquid Carbon. Cost $970 AUD including shipping. I probably chose a poor time to buy considering the weak Aussie dollar. Order #964 for the LC.

Gonna be pairing the LC with HD800's, LCD-X's and DT250's. I also plan on buying one of Schiit's upcoming trickle-down Yggy DAC's to go with it  :)p7

Gonna be selling a Gustard stack (U12 + X12 + H10) to help fund all of this. I do like the Gustard equipment, so hopefully the Cavalli and Schiit products cure that upgrade itch nicely!

EDIT: @olor1n, there's almost always a compromise, but there's been a number of people who say they prefer the musicality/euphony of the LC over the Rag :)

We have similar taste in headphones.  I have Beyer DT-880 250 ohm, DT-250 80 ohm, and a Mad Dog Pro.

I had a chance to hear the LC at a Chicago meet and enjoyed the sound immensely with my DT-250 and Mad Dog Pros.  I think you will also enjoy the sound.  headbang

Aye caramba! That should be roughly same price I'd pay in SGD, if I order LC. Then again, maybe I can sell my amps too...

I'm selling some of my other amps/DACs/headphones to help offset the costs for my incoming system (Gungnir Multi Bit + Liquid Carbon). This is my end-game.

Would definitely recommend selling off the equipment that doesn't quite captivate you, and use the proceeds to buy equipment that does :)

I actually have a pair of DT880's as well :). They definitely share the HD800 type of sound signature, and sometimes are actually more enjoyable (but less technical).

Greatly looking forward to hearing the LC with the GMB. The GMB cost about $1960 AUD shipped directly from Schiit.
