Tír Na HiFi

I am selling my finite elemente Pagode wall shelf [it is similar to the shelf advertised by Audiofreaks in the UK] https://www.audiofreaks.co.uk/webshop/product/pagode_signature_wall-417/ This shelf is in perfect condition. Size is 630mm x 630mm. The 25mm back plate is screwed to the wall using heav...

I contacted Cloney Audio about Focal Clear headphones (a suggestion by Fran offline). Ivan suggested pairing Clears with Feliks Audio Echo 2.
