I've never heard them, but have heard good things about the old Assemblage DACs (kits) from Sonic Frontiers. They have the reputation of being very good up front and also being very tweakable.

Me neither. Of course, I lot of people I know can't imagine spending so much time and money on the headphone hobby. Since I've been not working, shaving has been cut in half.

The only person that seems to be offended is you. Head-case is self moderating. People have no hesitation to speak their minds, especially in response to posts. That's why the motto here is "Welcome and sorry about your thin skin". People with thin skin usually don't last here. Do you have a thin skin? Getting defensive about responses to your posts implies that you do, but it's still early.

You should definitely bring him along. After he starts saying how good they are, you can start saying DEW EET to him. Then you could buy them from him in 6 months when he sells them. To really improve your chances of getting them cheap, you should fly Mike in for the listen too. If John won't buy them Mike probably will. Then you have the same scenario. Either way, you'd save a lot of money.

And the pico isn't balanced. If you are going to spend the money for a balanced system, don't stint on the source. Get a good balanced source too.

Considering the Alaskan method of reducing remodel costs, I would think that they'd be very affordable.

Al wishes that was the case. Actually it's much more embarrassing, money out the wazoo!

I like classic rock n' roll. Most of this new music doesn't do it for me.

God grant me patience. And I mean right now!

Eh?

Too much power. He needs a Tomahawk.

I just tried the "Qables Premier View" and both columns of ads go away. Yay! I suspect that you do have to be a contributor for it to work.

Thanks Antonio. I was pretty sure that when it originally came out you had to be a contributor, but my memory isn't so hot these days and I definitely could have misremembered.

It's been there a while. You have to be a contributor to have this ability.

Cleaned 3 bird cages. Still doing laundry. Fun fun! The up side is that I'm going to reward myself with a steak and lots of Telegraph Brewing Co. White Ale after I recover.

Why should a marathon be different that everything else? Congrats on finishing the marathon. Your wife would beat me by days.

Happy Birthday.

They're going to shoot the next hurricane that comes through.

Yes. Please note that I carefully avoided any comments about design. If Ray can get 10x markup, then more power to him. I don't understand it, but then I don't have to.

I think that this is where Ray shines compared to the other amp makers, with Jan possibly being an exception. He does a better job of marketing and manufacturing his amps. He builds up interest at the right time and then is prepared to ship product immediately after it's officially announced for release. He also has a coherent product line, at least until recently. I think that he's overloaded the portable side of his line. Only time will tell though. I have to believe that he's going to retire some of the older portable models, but what do I know.

I would recommend getting an adapter instead. That way you can listen both ways and it's cheaper than a retermination. Plus it's still balanced and easier to sell if you decide to later sell it. I own and highly recommend the Sialo adapter. Note: I saw that Nate later suggested an adapter too. Shill!

Congrats Steve! I hope that you enjoy them.

Happy Birthday!
