I'll be there tomorrow morning if anyone wants to meet up. Unfortunately need to take off for another event in afternoon. Will definitely swing by Steve. "Music Life Audio" O.o?

Heard them at a Massdrop table at a recent Bay Area meet. Don't remember the various amp/dac combos (they were all Chinese units Massdrop regularly offers for sale). Not sure if there was any synergy there. I know a ton of vague comments have stated they're top-level (HD800s strangely often mentioned) in overall sound quality. I don't get that at all. Color me disappointed (which for the record was the case with a lot of newish gear at the meet). Throw several caveats on "for closed" and specific music and "maybe with different gear" and I'd feel differently. Liked the D2000s for what they were. Different expectations and all that.

Name the HC member?

Nor DSD/DXD if those important to you.

Bacall and Truman.

Maybe it drives the Senns better, but most obviously it drives IEMs better. I think the issue with the previous unit caused a bunch of noise too. So remove the above "aren't nearly as multi-impedance friendly as I hoped" comment.

Replacement arrived. Either upgraded for troubles, or more likely a mistake, my silver GO450 turned into a black GO720.

Thanks. Daughter and a Mtn. View project clinched it. Ordered.

Also Menahem Golan RIP. Producer (and sometimes director) of Franco Zeffirelli's Otello, John Cassavetes's Love Streams, Barbet Schroeder's Barfly, Jean-Luc Godard's King Lear and Robert Altman's Fool For Love... ... and also Cobra, Over the Top, Delta Force, the Death Wish sequels, Missing In Action, Invasion USA, Bloodsport, Bolero, Breakin'/Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, and my personal favorite Gymkata. That's a resume. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-menahem-golan-dies-producer-movies-20140811-story.html

Wow. Hope he didn't suffer long before and his family doesn't suffer long after (as much as possible). Always wondered if we appeared in slow motion to him?

^ Funny, cause the only Momentums I've ever heard was at your house (Shelly's). Part 2 (I guess): http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2014/08/10/pono-backers-listening-party-in-san-francisco-8114-part-two/ All audio events should be categorized as: "the headphone and non-headphone portions"!

Just finished. I'm caught. Certainly curious where it's headed, but what did everyone think of the soundtrack choices? https://soundcloud.com/milanrecords/cliff-martinez-son-of-placenta-previa-from-the-knick-ost

I was thinking how strange it was proving the point of a high res/"100% music" ecosystem with Momentums.

Haven't read, but the ones I have that focused on the first couple episodes have been respectively disappointed.
