Neil Young claims he was working on an audiophile iPod with Steve Jobs
they could just offer us better masters in a 16/44.1 and we can keep using our current hardware. i am reminded of the South Park episode "The Entity" "you mean we can get the better masters without putting these levers in our ass and mouth?"

"It sounds like your 14-foot ceiling came down to 8 feet" it's more like "It sounds like your 14-foot ceiling came down to 8 feet, while wearing headphones, and your eyes are closed"

i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
you probably could. measure a 9v battery and then check for shorts by measuring in parallel with the battery and see if your DC volt reading drops?

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
wish i had screenshot what someone from the store Gramophone had posted in response to Audeze announcing the EL-8. something like "great, another headphone to demonstrate, too bad there aren't any customers"

Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
well the head-fi thread is a trainwreck. i don't know what the sense would be in discontinuing the HD800. what sennheiser needs, or rather is lacking, are headphones in the 2-5k range if it's worth it to them to sell a few thousand pairs.

And now what did you do TODAY?
saw as low as $1.85 in Ohio. thanks Obama.

it depends on the design of the amp if you will require 1 or 2 sections per channel. the RK50 is available in 2 sections (stereo) or 4 (balanced stereo)

Are the JH13's still the top $1000 IEM pick?
My JH13 wasnt as pretty inside as some other customs, but the JH16s have been great. never had any problems though some pairs probably get a lot more use than mine. the Westone ES5 is my other custom - doesn't sound as good as the JH13, but is still excellent in (personal) JH news, i just went to their facebook page for the first time in years and it was posted today that Jerry's daughter passed away. There will be a memorial on Monday in Orlando

New HiFiMAN headphones
they said it wasnt an electrostat. keep in mind though that - they will lie to me if they're supposed to lie - this is just the word of a regional sales rep i wont believe anything until i see it. the 'new Orpheus' thing surfaces every year with people who supposedly saw it or heard about it, and then nothing.

New HiFiMAN headphones
hey now...sennheiser told me that the big surprise is not a new momentum color and not a bluetooth headphone. but they said whatever it is it is big.

HeadphoneAddict seriously injured in car accident
I got in a Facebook argument a few years ago with a dumb woman commenting on a news article which said 16 people died in car accidents over Thsnksgiving, and 9 weren't wearing seatbelts. Her response: "See, it doesn't matter if you wear one, it's 50/50" [emoji14]alm:

Neil Young claims he was working on an audiophile iPod with Steve Jobs
my black pono came today. time for ebay maybe.. the packaging is awesome, though i always find the over the top use of recycled/"sustainable" materials to be ironic considering this device duplicates functionality that people already have it's a bamboo box with "pono" burned into the top and a lid that slides off. it's about the size of a coffin for a small rat. Underneath is the pono player and more bamboo pieces glued in place to support the player and charger.

So 1 box = 1 ak240 blue note

also make sure that there are no burrs left on the hole in the heatsink. i have seen them come from the factory that way.

The Schiit Fulla
or you could test the device at each sample rate before shipping. but yeah, that would be a lot of work

The Schiit Fulla
sure. any decent USB DAC is going to have a lower noise floor than your computer's headphone jack
