Now I'm noticing better bass response, it's getting more dynamic ...

Please come back and post some impression

As much as we know Earth is neutral and natural, I believe u review will also be neutral. I guess yr listening has improved a lot since spending $$$ hanging on to lowyat.net.

Yes now its time to rock and roll. Anyone can post some photo here of your OPA and setup.

Just receive my sun & earth, how to install it ?

use a long nose to remove the stock OPA. u will see a semi and make sure it is in the sam orientation. Godluv posted this in the earlier thread.

Holy shit i just nearly burn my earth opamp. I install it terbalik the transistor were melted slightly after on just a 10 sec turn on with burn smell & it was very hot while i try to disconnect it.

But will this damage the opamp as i reinstall it another way everything works fine but i don't know has damage anything as theres a stain on the sticker after the transistor were melted slightly.

Check carefully, there is a semi circle on any opamp, which is the head.

This head must point towards the back of ZERO.. another mistake will burn down the earth.

Be extra careful when using the extension leads. If you bend it too much near the solder ends, it might come off!

Hi kwek,

Have u got the OPA.. is it cooking now ...


which one u burn in \first. i guess it must be earth.

Just collected it from Poslaju.

Earth is in 1st. Initial impression is that the separation of instruments is much better compared to OPA627. Using Grados, the mids is more prominent while the music works around behind it. Sibilance in some songs are still noticeable. I think a tube headphone amp would complete the setup. As of now, the Earth makes the OPA627 sound like if someone turned on the "loudness" button.

Hi guys,

if u want some slight improvement, try the Volex cable. they is a slight improvement in terms of life vivacity, separation and bass department. of course, u need to listen critically to hear the difference.

Agree with you at lease the opamp were working fine but i don't think it will last long. after such damage done. I also slightly bend one of the OPA2604 extension leads while remove it.

The extension cable were useless as the wire were too short end up plug in the opamp straight on the ZERO.

For my comment about the EARTH were sound more calm on the instrument & bass were less humming, more accurate but the vocal sound like slightly lost of sharpness. As for the SUN sound more active, joyful but might felt annoying if want calm music like EARTH, SUN would be sound great for techno , rock & POP genre music.

Just got home and opened up my package...
Unfortunately the pins on the wire extension to connect to the DAC was bent, and when i tried to straighten up again the pin broke.. major bummer man....damn sad..

Moon discrete opamp?Well how much izit

stormspider,

plug it in directly first la without the top on. At least you get to listen to it while you replacement adapter gets here.

Yeah that's what i'm doing but I'm just a little frustrated that the pin was bent out of the package and when i tried to straighten it broke...

Can't see how the Earth sounds with my speakers since it's so late in the night...lol Just using headphones now.. Can't wait for day..

Added on September 10, 2008, 11:24 amYup, moon discrete opamp! Tubie sound discrete opamp, best for lush vocal, EARTH is good for vocal too but it's less "ajinomoto", thus some might think it's slight neutral

Should be coming out this 15th, pricing to be confirmed!
