Kerry Design mini GRHV\GRLV and JoaMat mini T2 Group Buy
XXII replied to mwl168's topic in Do It Yourself
Can you put me down for 4 grhv, 2 grlv78xx, 2 grlv79xx, 2 main board, 2 mini t2 Thanks! -
Why not select the EML 300b-mesh? I am currently using Tung-Sol BGRP with EML-300b mesh. This is my preferred combination -- I prefer the EML 300b mesh to the KR PX4 (but I believe it's only a matter of taste). The only driver tube I prefer over the BGRP is the Marconi-Osram B65. On the other hand, I haven't tried the 300B-XLS.

Just in case anyone is actually interested, see the disclaimer on Kr Audio

Try Settings->Advanced->Squeezebox Server->Wipe and Rescan

Audio Technica headphone question -- closest to leatherhead?
XXII replied to Dusty Chalk's topic in Headphones

I was at the big Yodobashi in Osaka a year ago and they had practically all the in production high-end cans (Stax, Grado,....) connected to Marantz SACD players

You can do this with a PS3 that plays SACDs: Ripping SACDs via SPDIF at 176.4 with a PS3 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio Then you can play a 176.4 downsample of DSD on one of your DACs. A PS3 is probably the cheapest way to do this.

I used a Beta22+srd-7 pro to drive my O2 Mk1 for about month. It actually sounded a lot better than I thought it would: only slightly dark and less refined. I preferred the O2 Mk1 in this setup to the HD800 so I ended up getting a KGSS and selling my HD800 and Beta22. The KGSS, of course, is a huge improvement.

I heard that it was supposed to be significantly worse than the SFD-2...but the Audiogon one is selling for a really incredible price. I would have gone for it if it was 220V.

Well according to the man himself, he did design it: Lavry Engineering
-
I don't see what the problem is. The OP bought the amp after reading a HPA review on it and he's very happy with it. Shouldn't this mean that his review did a good job? I, personally, wouldn't buy something solely based on HPA's recommendation but if the newbies want to listen to HPA, why stop them?
-
Could you elaborate a bit more on the sound improvements of your modification? Are we really talking about PS-1/HP-1000 level? What is the difference between SR-325i and MS-2 as the base model?
-
Interesting impressions Shelly. Have you heard the W5000s? I felt that the A2000X shared more with the W5000 than the AD2000. In the end, I decided to keep the W5000 and sell the A2000X.
-
So which is it Larry? JH13 or HD800? I was set on the HD800 for a while but all this JH13 talk is really making me have doubts...
-
This thread is messing with my head. I just managed to get my hands on my dream amp (a 4-board B22)....and you guys are saying I should ditch everything for a Pico slim and a JH13? Is there nothing left for full-sized headphones?

New HeadAmp Modules (for GS-1 and GS-X) Beta Test Program Announcement
XXII replied to justin's topic in Product Annoucements
jeez...I saw this on the first page and I thought Justin finally got the new modules out.. -
I guess this is a little late but I used to own a A2000X for a while. I wrote a comparison between the W5000 on HF: Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - audio-technica ATH-A2000X But based on the bold part above, it sounds like you will like them. They don't have the fit problems of the W5000 because the cups are smaller.

What a nasty book to be putting out 4 days after someone's death! Of course, publishing excerpts from a book like this is right up the Mail's alley.
-
Good stuff! I'm very happy you're in the first batch. Certainly, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be in the first batch!

Audio-gd Phoenix balanced headphone amp. - Page 38 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio But I'm sure after a while everyone will be happy and the bad stuff will be attributed to burn-in
-
Judging from the posts of the people on HF (especially IpodPJ), I don't think there will be any fair reviews of the phoenix for quite some time. I find the "proofreading" and the "correction" part disturbing as well.
-
Some people on HF had a similar problem: e.g. Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - Sennheiser HD800 Appreciation Thread
-
Well the compass is cheap as chips so it's not too surprising if it sounds like crap! Did anyone hear the Ref-1?
-
So, after CanJam, what's the Head-Case opinion on audio-gd stuff?

Another WTF Tube Moment (Oil Damped Tubes)
XXII replied to screaming oranges's topic in Headphone Amplification
If you choke when you're drinking mineral oil (as a laxative) and the oil goes down your windpipe then it will stay in your lungs forever. Too much and you could asphyxiate. Otherwise it's not toxic.
