šŸ”¶ GoldPlanar GL2000

Also, the Q5s type c comes with a 4.4mm balanced input thing so for people looking for something to drive the GL2000ā€™s Iā€™d think its a great match probably!

Mine will be arriving in a week. I recently got the iFi Signature that has 4.4 connection. This DAC/AMP already partners well with my Ananda. The power and sensitivity adjustment features and also the bass boost are great for these planars. I imagine they will be a very good match to the GL2k also.

I am currently also using a SMSL SU-9 and SH-9 desktop stack. Does anyone use these as well? Would a desktop amp upgrade result in a significant improvement (e.g topping A90)?

Received notification that mine will be shipped in Aprilā€¦ Drop refuses to refund anybody either stating that money is paid up frontā€¦ despite making people wait 4+ months to get something from them which is quite absurd in my opinionā€¦ either way, I will get to it eventually

At last! After a week in customs and taxes and fees of 120 ā‚¬ my set of the GL2K is finally here. And indeed, they come with the Pentaconn 4.4 mm connector, which is completely useless for me. What a bummer! Who has that? Yes, I know some amps have an input for this. At least not my XDuoo XD05 Plus. Only 6.35mm. I can get all the useful adapters in the United States or again from China. I am so annoyed! The fact that Linsoul doesnā€™t even include a common adapter is unforgivable. Has anyone from Germany found something suitable? An hour of Google search was unsuccessful. I couldnā€™t even find a suitable cable. Iā€™m grateful for every affordable purchase tip

If youā€™re looking for aggression any of the sendy Aiva clones offer that as a Planar.

Something like this?

And then put this in a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter that comes with almost every 6.35mm amp.

Comes from China i guessā€¦
Arrives: Feb 20 - March 2

I have the aivas :smiley: it was just an observation.

Oh perfect, love mine too, I think I should pull the trigger on these your description sounds like exactly what I need

Iā€™d still get them even if I didnā€™t need them cause they sound quite unique compared to other headphones in my collection :grin:

Iā€™ve seen someone post that they were able to stretch a ZMF pad onto these headphones (sorry to not give credit to whomst did it but you know whomst you are <3)

Yeah itā€™s so awesome seeing everyoneā€™s reviews come in. Definitely wanted to Arya type big Planar sound and I think these fit the bill

Ow oke.

I got these from Hart Audio Cables if you want premium and have some money to spare.

They come from USA but shipping (at least for me) was fast.

Ordered them 29-12-20 got them 06-01-21 (Netherlands)

Had to pay some hefty Tax and import fees at ā‚¬35 extra however.

Damn, that sucks man! But at least you saved $100 compared to people who bought it on linsoul.

The A90 will be super clean but I think go for something sweeter, some class A, some tubes or a hybrid. That would complement your setup from clean to juicy/sweet and fun.

Amp recommendations

Fa12s/rebel (class A)
Ta-30 / Alex Cavali liquid gold (hybrid)
Darkvoices or Shortest Way 51 (Tube)

Something like this adapter looks like it should work:

or for a cheap cable ( although Iā€™m not the biggest fan of the feeling of these)
