I just unpacked a box from our last move in 2005. I found my HPA V. 1.0 but no power supply. When I packed it to move it was acting up so I just want to get workable power supply to see if it actually works. I believe the basic power supply for the HPA was 12V and 800 mA. Can someone confirm or refute this. Also if you know the dimensions of the power supply tip that would be helpful. Thanks.

Fair enough, but $3000 can get you a fur' piece towards an OII/KGSS.

Sorry, but I consider the HP1000 a much, much, much better headphone than the PS1. So paying $3000 for a PS-1 is to me ridiculous. I get to define my truth, not anybody else. Oh and I also consider the Omega II Mk. 1 a superior phone to the PS-1 that you can get for less than $3000 as quoted in the original post by GPH. But of course everyone focused on the HD-6xx. So you can QTFTFTFT

There's something wrong in Colorado...
morphsci replied to n_maher's topic in Headphone Amplification
I understand that, and that is how we all work. However, the result is that you do not end up with facts but fact1 by definition A, fact 1 by definition B, etc. In this case I would actually trust the person with the actual amp in front of them. I see a low probability that they are lying or misrepresenting as I cannot see what they would have to gain. Additional information would lead credence, but if it is a choice between the person with the amp and someone, anyone, rely on a conversation or piece of information they may have read somewhere, sometime ... survey says: Person with the amp. -

True, but neither is KG's statement, right. Also, by that logic, asking Craig does not make it a fact, regardless of his answer. Wow, now my head is spinning, reminds of the pissing matches between cladists and evolutionary phylogeneticists in the bad-old-days. I need a beer -
I'll put in a vote for Austin. A great music city and lots of things to do both city-wise and outdoorsy-wise. While I'm at it I'll put in a plug for visiting Big Bend NP. It has an amazingly low visitation rate for a NP and the scenary is spectacular.

I did quite well in Aiken, SC for 20 years thank you. But then again I kinda like huntin and fishin.

Yes, I do. However, I do believe that and it is the concept I fall back on, sometimes unsuccessfully, to keep my arguements civil. I was not implying that every post in this thread was merely a piling on. There are posts in this thread which actually attempt to be helpful. Some of those posts are somewhat harsh, but I have no problem with them. There are also posts which are meant to be harsh and/or demeaning and those seem rather unneccessary as there is little to nothing there meant to be helpful. FTFY as two peoples reality may or may not converge, IMO. Oh I have been a bastard and will almost certainly be one again, but unfortunately it doesn't always work. No, I actually meant that everyone except aerius was entitled to their own opinion. But that is only because I dismiss aerius, not his opinions
-
Absolutely not. Then I would miss all your gaffs. I totally agree with you, just stating an opinion about what I saw happening. I do not necessarily have a problem with piling on (and aerius) but I do have a problem with someone not recognizing it as happening when it is clearly so. Did she bring it on herself, well that is an individual decision. Teaching college undergraduates and having a four-year old son (Go Power rangers) has been very good in teaching me to be a bit more tolerant and to practice "Hakuna Matata" because life is too short. I don't expect anyone to be me or act like me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, except aerius.
-
So this thread is not an example of piling on and gang mentality? Please. At least the people calling for honesty from the threads subject should be honest and call it what it is. You can take it as a criticism or an an observation and if it makes me a pussy in someones eyes, well I have been called worse.

I guess I understand not releasing a 64Gb touch. They probably felt they could not do it at the price-point they wanted. I do not understand reducing the classic line to only 120GB. I would have assumed they would have gone 120/250 from the previous 80/160. Oh well, I am no longer tempted to buy a classic.

So it's a Microsoft commercial about Macs?

Cambridge Audio DacMagic -- $400, balanced.
morphsci replied to Hopstretch's topic in Home Source Components
Mmmm Nice. DacMagic and Vince Vaughan Audio PSU. Sounds like a winner for the office rig. -
Well you can at least console yourself that your death, although protracted, will at least be excruciatingly painful.

Regardless of where you get them from, make sure you can audition them in your room with your equipment. It varies from speaker to speaker but room interactions can drastically change the "sound" on most speakers. Internet dealers generally give you 30 days so plan accordingly. Most respectable brick-and-mortars will also give you a return period but you generally have to pay-up-front unless you have a well-established relationship with the dealer. Oh and another vote for the Paradigms. Now that our family room is done, (The carpet is going in as I type this) I will be buying the Studio Ref 100's, Studio Ref 20's and the CC-690 Center.

With the VPI's you can also use two mats. One for dirty sides down and one for clean sides down.

I guess I should have used a smiley and made the small print easier to see. I sold Earl the modded E5 and, although knowing better, listened to it for a while before packing it up for shipment. The 840c isn't really better, just different and more flexible with the digital inputs.

I heard it sucks ... at least that's what I keep telling myself
