Happy Camper

The Bruins got beat at their own game.

I will name them George and I will hug them ......

Ha, Bin Laden is dead and nothing will kill this buzz.

All that education and that's your best? I have done nothing to merit this but then I don't give a fuck what you think either you arrogant pricks. If you gotta go, go out in style.

Thank you.

The purpose I asked for clarity is that Omahem thought the comments about Jkeny was directed at him. The man is ill and felt his reputation was being degraded by the douche comment. I tried to explain that Jkeny was a member banned at HF and not him but I don't think he is getting it. If the comments weren't about him, an explanation might have cleared it up for him. The reason it has taken this long is that after that meet, he fell ill and fell out of contact until last week. When he explained this thread, he felt bad about coming to the meet. If you know this member, you know the conditions. Taking it personal grawk. How classless of you.

See.

Didn't know I had to ask your permission, go back to your pumper, your commentary is useless. By the way, being a smartass has a higher level here. There are pros here so sharpen up.

Why is Jkeny brought up? He wasn't at the meet. Otherwise thanks for the commentary.

If the P sounds better out of the headphone amp I'd be mighty tempted to cut loose the 6. There's something about using a speaker amp that's just wrong.

Lighting for robust plants on the fast track will need a flowering and a leaf and stem structure bulb. If you are just wanting to care for a windowbox garden, don't bother with lighting unless you grow year round. Dirt has its own set of problems but tastes better. Wow, feels like old times .

Hope he liked wings and Mojitos. Warm up the tubes Gary.

What are you guys driving these with? I tried them on a few quality headphone amps with good results but not "wow". I then tried them on a SS speaker amp. I got my "wow" results. I am now using a tube amp and believe I've found my sound. Now I want to come down in amp size, expand on 3-D presentation while keeping the tube flavor. I'd like to keep this in a working man's budget if possible but if it takes more, I'm prepared to save. This has been my first foray into headphone orthos but I have been attracted to stats and planar speakers for years. This is a sound I can live with from a headphone so I'd like to get them tweaked and get off the road to discovery at the next stop and enjoy the music while I still can.

Get a decent usb>spdif converter and use whatever dac you want. Foobar KS or Wasapi and you're done spinning plastic. If there is a difference, it's not noticed when you can have your music collection at the push of a button. Itunes takes up too much resources which is cause for dropouts, clicks, etc. There are some pretty good players out there with minimal resource demands. I hope DAC vendors will start building USB/I2S receiver/converters in their product and stop nickel and dime ing the market.

I won't debate the possibilities as I know the LCD-2s are just another flavor of similar performance. Properly matched, you could make a lot of top end headphones sound great. I'm choosing the HE-6 by preference as it fits my tastes by comparison on the same gear. Scott, I'll give you a heads up. Three in Dayton, one in Cincy & Batesville and one in Indy. We are also bringing in the PS Perfectwave for a listen.

I can attest to the difference a speaker amp makes on the performance of the HE-6. I borrowed Jeff's LCD-2 for a couple weeks but it was at the time the Ref. 7 was here so I didn't know what to contribute to the dac and what was the LCD-2. The headamp drove them effortlessly but they were dark at low volumes. After the holidays, we are getting together with the LCD-2, HE-6, HD800 and PS1000 for some listening time. I favor the HE-6 for it's highs and clarity at low volume. Now comes the chore of building a system around it.

Thank you Mark. Your 20+ pair of headphones made many of our day. Many top end cans to try on my own gear was insightful and telling. David

Why would you know this exists? Well, what a difference a three game losing streak makes.

Mercy Hospital Mt. Airy 2446 Kepling Ave Cincinnati, OH Classroom B next to the cafeteria on 2nd fl. Plenty of power and desk space. I will get a cart for bringing gear up. Park at the main entrance parking and come into the lobby. Go past the gift shop to the elevators on the right. Go to second floor and follow the signs to classroom B. PM me if you want my cell #. I'll be there about 9am and we have it until 5 pm. David

The Blues are making a valiant effort. Three of their top six Dmen out, leading goal scorer out and they are still on pace with the league leaders. Four of their last six games are shutouts and 9-1-2 in their first twelve. I don't want to breath.

So how does it compare to the newer stuff? I've been using an old (95) CAL dac since finding it in the closet. The meets have not given a (gotta have) moment compared to some newer dacs. In a couple weeks I will get a chance to hear the A GD unit and am keeping an open mind to justify spending close to 2k vs 200 spent on the CAL. Now those LCD-2s are another matter. Love to get a listen to keep me away from a stat rig.

Happy birthday sir. Belated of course.
