My thoughts exactly
, only problem is that that amp wouldn't fit in the cases he already has...Oh, the case he has is pretty impressive, excluding the missing front panel mounts...*grumble* The cases we got from you were for other uses.
-
That's using the transporter to drive your headphones, right? You should try it with an amp. Lean suggests impedance problems.
so basically...
transporter has a cleaner sound,
there is more air between different instruments,
better treble definition,
bass is leaner than the lavry, but with a better speed.
some will definitely not stand the transporter because its too lean sounding.
now i need to wait until next wednesday, then i can start to mess with all the slim devices software crap and whatnot...
EDIT: with power conditioning and a power cord upgrade the lavry can probably sound as good as the transporter, the difference between the two DACs are less than the difference between the lavry VS the apogee mini-dac.
-
But if you like it, you can sell the lavry, and the amp costs you almost nothing.
-
I'm about 90 percent sure that I'll get this with the home module. I'm currently not going to get the DAC since I like my Lavry fine as it is. The only thing that I could wish for is pre-amp outs to drive my power amp directly. But it's not a deal breaker by any means.
I think you'd be crazy to get this without the dac. The headroom dacs are among the best values in audio. Even if it's only 99% of the lavry...

Yes, I blame you for the blockhead! I appreciate that you started the balanced dynamic headphone thing tho...
What I've done (or rather had done) with my amp was 2 combo jacks and a 4pin between them.
-
I wish you would have gone with a four-pin connector as an option.
I agree. The 4pin xlr is so much better a choice for balanced headphone amps. And then it'd work with the K1000 without need for adapter cables.

Tyll you have sold me. Feb is the perfect time for an upgrade right after my boards.
And I'm stealing that Hawaiin thing, because it's so much cooler than Merry Christmas.
Whenever I think of hawaii, I'm reminded of the saying "Remember kids, Mahalo means trash!"

Just playing by the rules here, so two things:
1) Just made a post in the "Manufacturers Product Announcements" area here
Fuck the second thing.I'd be all over that if I weren't still waiting for my TooleAudio Balanced VaporAmp

I've been wanting to follow this post up for a while now...
Well, I guess we will. Walnut Woodied (and re-screened) 125's:
I really like having a lathe!
How did it change the sound?

CORRECTION, AMERICAN TURKEY DAY
Canadian Turkey Day is a pale imitation. Certainly not fitting for the likes of you.

Anyway... In alphabetical order (because trying to place them would be impossible):
- Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
I wish I could describe how this album makes me feel, but I can't. It floors me with every listen, and it just doesn't get old. - Cat Power - The Greatest
I'm not sure it tops Moon Pix, but if not it's right there. - The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia
I prefer their self-titled punk-cabaret debut, but there's no doubt that this is a strong follow up. - Lacuna Coil - Karmacode
Despite mediocre (at best) reviews, I really enjoy their foray into more accessible music. - Nelly McKay - Pretty Little Head
Well worth the wait. It's more mature than Get Away From Me, but still playful & fun.
Of your list, these are the only 5 artists I'd heard of, excluding posts to head-case.
I long ago gave up trying to keep up with new music, tho.
- Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood

Check out parallels.com, parallels will let you run windows in a window at full speed for everything except gaming.

Then the only way would be to get one of the linux boot cds that will crack xp admin passwords, and hack your system. Of course, that would likely get you fired, so I don't recommend it.

I believe you can run vlc without installing it. (videolan.org)

Brian Wilson with the Wondermints and Al Jardine, performing Pet Sounds, 40th Anniversary Tour
Great show, the wondermints are a very talented band. Al and Brian provided vocals and legitimacy, and I highly recommend it if you can make it. This was also at the Keswick Theater, in Glenside, PA, and remains my favorite venue for music that doesn't require flailing about.
-
Can we report people for post-rehashing about products they've never heard before? Theres so many people recommending and not recommending gear based off what they've read on Headfi. Of course they don't make this clear in their post, you just know if you've been reading such persons posts.
It's not adding anything and only watering down gear impressions.
Why do you care what and why people recommend stuff?

Whether the membership of the democrat party these days is liberal or socialist in nature or leanings has nothing really to do with whether or not the current democrat party leadership meets these standards. I'd personally say that the belief that the government should provide cradle to grave services for the citizenry is pretty close to socialism.

She can support him, but it's an elected position, not an apointed one.

LOL man you headcase mods are only doing editing and rule enforcing for headfi mods....
thats fucked up man but true LOL really.
Excluding the fact that it was requested by the author, sure

Bruce Hornsby Solo Piano - Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA
Great show. Bruce is quite the entertainer. Most of the show was by request, tho he obviously picked the requests he wanted to do. All the attendees got a copy of his box set, which sells for almost the price of tickets to the show. So it was like buying the box set, and getting a concert for free. In one of the best small theaters in the country.
The last concert I saw was also a bruce show, but with his band at wolftrap in vienna, va this summer. Also a great show.

Vibrapods have the same probelms, here is the warning from there site..
what you had was a ring, the ring is actually the coolest part of the entire raptor. its not a burn mark but a grease stain from the rubber itself.
you are more negligent in this case then Ray would be cause you "should" of used common sense in placing the Raptor.
If it's common sense that you don't put rubber feet on furniture, why does vibrapod have to warn people? And those pictures looked more like heat damage than grease from rubber.

Somehow I bet the duct tape wasn't DHS provided.
Well, the EA-6 has landed - Homeland Security is definitely keeping us safe from Canadian headphone amps...
But, all seems well so far... still acclimating. Preliminary: Outstanding on accoustic cuts (Dire straits - Why Worry), and not quite ready to rock (Skynyrd, Devo, Jet). Next up: Allison Krauss, Janes Addiction, Velvet Revolver, NIN... we'll see.
Proceeding with the Blue Hawaii build so far, as I haven't heard anything that says 'Don't bother'. Of course, i didn't hear that with the ES-1 (Rob, aka bahamaman) or the HEV90 (McManus) either.

if you can talk him into doing it, zach.

That's cheaper than parts cost for the tooleaudio balanced max
