  1. Can you put me down for 4 grhv, 2 grlv78xx, 2 grlv79xx, 2 main board, 2 mini t2 Thanks!
  2. 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
  4. Try Settings->Advanced->Squeezebox Server->Wipe and Rescan
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Well according to the man himself, he did design it: Lavry Engineering
  10. 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?
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. 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...
  14. 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?
  15. jeez...I saw this on the first page and I thought Justin finally got the new modules out..
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. Well the compass is cheap as chips so it's not too surprising if it sounds like crap! Did anyone hear the Ref-1?
  23. So, after CanJam, what's the Head-Case opinion on audio-gd stuff?
  24. 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.
