Thanks for pumping out so much content. I'm not really even in the market to buy anything in the near term but it's a fun distraction from real world drearyness.

@@gatobakuniano yeah it's kind of liberating to watch videos when you know you're not going to buy anything! I promised myself after I got the qudelix 5k, I was just going to enjoy the equipment I had for a long while :)

Just a note.. drop apparently allotted only a certain number of units to be sold at the coupon price. I was not made aware of this and therefore prepped multiple videos to promote it. You guys ate that shit up and killed this sale in 2 days. I'm going to try and get the coupon to reactivate at some point since I know a couple of you were waiting until the 20th AKA today

When I received my original Erish, it made me sell my 789.

That zebrawood tho, damnnn! Also Geshelli will be at the Florida Audio Expo Feb 18-20th, Room 904. If you want to see/hear these hard wood beauties in person.

Thanks for such of content, Zeos!!

Geshelli gear absolutely rocks. I bought a combination of the J2 and E2 in Oak with neon green faceplates (w USB option). Playing with HD 6XX Sennheisers. Buy with confidence. You will not be sorry. I am thinking about reftrofitting a new knob on my amp, so I agree with Z on that. I find the mix of the wood and the neon green makes a great balance of vintage and modern in visual appeal too. Feeding it with foobar2000. Tasty!

I love @Geshelli Labs. I'm lucky enough to have not one, but two Jnog's (not the J2) and 3 Enog2Pro DAC's, all with the AKM chips. Also, I have an Erish which needed a repair job last year. I got an upgraded board with better power supply components. I needed to call them for assistance on one aspect of the board swap and spoke to both Sherri and Geno at length that particular day. Wonderful people to deal with and to just have a chat with. It's great to have an American audio shop like Geshelli Labs making American products, in America. I will forever be a fan of the company and it's products. My wish list for the company is to see them branch out and start doing speaker amplifiers.

geshelli labs products are made so well that mine will likely outlive me... Something I can't say about their competitors . It seems as soon as my Topping / SMSL etc gear gets out of warranty it's toast .

I have the original Jnog and Erish, mainly listen on the Focal Elex. Great sounding products, very happy with the sound, and customer service is amazing - probably because you are talking to the actual owners every time you contact them. Sherri and Geno are the nicest people, happy to support them.

Remo Williams was derived from The Destroyer book series. One of the only book series that I have read completely. I think it was 75+ paperbacks. Good stuff

I own both the Enog2 Pro DAC and the Archel 2.5 in the aluminum enclosure. I can't say enough good things about Geshelli. The DAC and amp both sound great and easily power all my headphones - granted I'm not running anything super low sensitivity or anything fancy. What impressed me the most is the customer service. When ordering my Archel, I asked in the order notes if I could get a different color acrylic for my Enog2 Pro. I knew it was a long shot since they had discontinued the Enog2 by the time I asked. But they pulled through and sent out a few different color front panels they had left over from Enog2 production. It's those types of little details like that I remember when thinking about a company down the road. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Geshelli product. Though if I want to, I had better get on the waiting list! I'm tempted by the Archel 3.

The adventures of Remo Williams was one of my go to movies when I stayed home sick as a kid. Great movie night idea.

And BTW I just got a j2 and I love it. This is my first external dac I've ever used and I'm blown away by the difference in my old av receivers

Bought an Enog 2 Pro back in 2019. The original unit had an issue with the power input where it created a high pitched whine, but Geshelli was extremely quick about replacing it. 10/10 customer service. New unit had no issues, sounded great. Clean, and pretty much the AKM sound I expected. Only thing I didn't like was the orientation where the inputs were on one side, and the outputs were on the opposite side, so stacking was janky as heck, if not impossible, but seems this has been addressed in later models. Haven't had a reason to buy another product from them due to lack of use case, but if any friends asked me for advice on a good setup without breaking the bank, I'd be more than happy to recommend them alongside Schiit and JDS

I actually used it two videos ago but thanks a fuckton to both you and Drop for the $401 off code for the HD8XX. Can't wait to hear it and have it in my collection!

Oh that looks great. I got a 5-wood custom build E2 set to ship in the next couple of days. Sherri replied to all my questions super quickly, then talked with Joe the woodworker and came up with a design that worked for us all... the she emailed me last week to say how gorgeous it looked already... And now the wait is killing me!!

Do you like it?

I love the stuff, mainly when I use the 660s with a balanced cable on the E2.

Just bought one! Thanks spoke to Sherry

Higher load impedance draws less current from the amplifier, which indeed is easier on the amplifier. BUTTTT with higher impedances it takes more voltage to get the same output power for a given efficiency .

I've been looking for a new dac and the J2 has balanced and RCA and can do both at the same time, I can get it wood also which is amazing I think I'm doing an order this week *after finishing video* getting the DAC for sure and then getting the balanced amp for my first Balanced stack. I wanted made in America thanks zeos

Gotta say big thanks for that code I got a pair of 8XX the other day. On another note that blood wood looks interesting that and the black & blue aluminum.

@@danny170 I would give it a solid 8/10 for sound quality and looks and feel especially for the price!

I can't wait to get my j2 in a few weeks. I plan on buying multiple J2s and archel xls purely due to the customization of the looks... Plus I haven't seen/heard anyone say anything bad about the quality. If they started making phono pre amps, larger dedicated stereo amps, etc. I'd probably buy all of them. If I can buy all custom color and wood components to match all the different rooms in my house I'm gonna do it.

Update: after having my J2 for 4 months, I love it. It really cleaned up the sound of my Cambridge axr100. It didn't take away the warmth from the amp, just added a ton of detail and airiness. I have had my archel 2.5xl for a couple weeks now and while I like it, I can't figure out what its doing to the sound. It's almost like it's rearranging where some of the instruments are in songs that I know very well. It's really tweaking me out. Headphone amp wise it's awesome. It's when I use it as a pre amp that I get so confused about the sound. Oh well. It adds more detail and top end than the Cambridge +J2 alone which is sometimes good and sometimes not. Not unexpected from class D. Bottom line is I really like both products and would buy them again. Customer service is AAAAAAA+++++++

you should ask or buy each of the wooden cabinets absolutely

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

Geshelli should have barebones kits of their products for those that want to build their own case.

I wish these were available with brushed aluminum fascia for that 70s stereo look.

Zeos when you say that reviewed items are worth more just remember other countries already pay almost twice the prices in America . 🤔 nice review by the way cheers.

Adventures of Pete & Pete!

A wooden know would be sweet!! Also speaking of burn in artwork, maybe they could offer that too. What about speaker amps??

I AB tested schiit magni and geshelli archel, I prefer the geshelli, schiit sounds sterile and lifeless

Sir, thankyou for mentioning the Dollar. Boxed wood or not. Wow.......you have a CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY amount of equipment..............it's like a massive Aladdins cave monster Vin. :) get substantial insurance.

The rated power is 2 Watts Per Channel @ 32ohms.

I want you to review Tago Studio T3-01 which is closed back reference headphones. I heard that it is amazingly good!

Current drive amp and no TH-909 seen in the video ? Should make them sing

aluminum (silver) faceplate with wood. perfect.

Can u do the Perlisten speakers. Would be awesome

Z, question - I bought the vanatoo TO’s based on your review a couple years ago. I wanted small, SQ, bluetooth, and most importantly bang for the buck. Has anything surpassed them since they were released?

Not really. A few alternatives from Swan or iLoud but nothing blowing them out of the water.

Just so you all know, they pronounce their name and products with soft G and CH. Juh-shelli, Arch-el(not ark). Zeos pronounces them all wrong but it's okay.

Would this or the Erish be able to sufficiently power Argons?

Has anyone tried the DCL Stealth with the E2/J2 Combo? Have they enough power to drive the stealth properly?

tried to order the 8XX with your link however no shipping to the uk :(

Cables are "Stuck in there"? What's the story with that. Don't want to get one if it gets stuck

Anyone using the Archel 2.5 XL to drive high efficiency loudspeakers? Is 2 watts at 32 ohms the same as 8 watts at 8 ohm?

What's wrong with #2A now? Links?

Is it Resistance or Impedance. I believe it is impedance that is spec'd.

Wood cabinets sort of look like a homemade deal. Not bad though.

What's the red square 🟥 about in the video titles now?

Sunday fart, just got my schiit fulla e, sounds good, not that powerful though. But the mic input spikes every time it picks up any sound making it unusable for gaming with open mic, I end up just open mic spammy everyone all the time. Very disappointed

If you can, try to lower the mic gain in Windows. But yeah, I saw that it overpowers a lot of basic headset mics in comparison to the Hel. The Hell also has the benefit of the mic gain knob so you can adjust at the hardware level.

is “archel” not pronounced like “are-shell”
