I'm really looking forward to hearing this amp though I will not own one.

Sounds like a lot.

Yeah I am looking forward to Grawk and My mini meet post CanJam. BH, KGSS, O2, GS-X whatever else..

Spoke to Headroom and they are getting theirs Friday/Monday and will ship them out next week. Crap dude that's a good deal.

Hmm interesting. Mine will definitely not make it until after CJ. I'm now trying to decide if I want to wait until I hear them to bother with balancing or not. If I like them then I balance them and I can order the stock cable anytime to replace it and keep the resale value. Of course they could sell out but I'm patient.

Only if you take your silver cables and shove them in the same spot Agreed.

I get in a little before noon on Friday

hmmm maybe it's time to go drobo

You have a cable ABX box? The only one I've heard of was rather complex and sadly unavailable unless I want to built one. My guess is you don't really mean ABX which is blind but just A/B where you know which is which. I've done some A/B with interconnects and I could never hear a difference but I don't think there is a difference so I guess I could be slanting the results. If you did real ABX I'm rather interested. I've never seen an ABX for cables where the cable lengths were reasonably short (12ft or so) or the cable was suitably sized ever come up with statistically significant audible differences. This is for speaker cables I should be clear but I believe the same holds true for headphones and interconnects because of the much higher loads impedance. Edit found this one: http://www.provide.net/~djcarlst/abx_wire.htm

Cool. I heard a Stax transformer box with the ESP950 and a Beta22 and it sounded pretty damn good Certainly better than the E/90 (but that's not quite fair). I'm enjoying the SRM-1 but I am looking forward to the KGSS. I'm using my usual auto-correction using my DEQ. edit: I should get used to using multiquotes...

Not me. I'm not a cable person. If it conducts I'm done.

So am I. I'll take your word for it. I would still recommend mineral oil since it doesn't have the smell.

It's not cooking oil it's mineral oil for cooling but yeah

Well my Omega 2 mk1 are here and sounding very good out of the SRM-1/MK2 but it appears that the amp does not have enough juice to really drive the highs on these. No matter what I do above around 16kHz the corrections don't do anything. The KGSS will fix this Very refined though. Glad I invested. Now all that needs to happen is my KGSS arrives by Thursday so I can dream about it when I'm stuck at CJ

Well Koss sent me another mailing label so I figured what the hell and sent them off again. I had taken the driver apart and got the squeal to go pretty much away using a air blaster but what the heck it's worth giving them one more try. I have the Omega 2 for company anyway

Look forward to hearing about the connector. The stock cable is all I need. If I can get the connectors and a DIY cable cheaper then so be it.

Methinks I will be getting one of these bad boys for my office setup Pico DAC -> AE2 hell yeah.

Well guys I'm there with 1.75L of the finest Barbadian rum. We shall see how long she lasts. Looking forward to it. I was thinking of moving my flight back to Saturday but I think I must come out to be a part of the fun

Yup but for me it's probably the cheapest way I'm going to be able to balance them.

Qualia will be there in their new flight case

go team early bird. see you at the end of next week!

Happy Birthday

Well I am drinking it now. Very nice.

It would likely. My brother has an open bottle of it sitting downstairs. Never had it though. Maybe I should go and have some.

Well you buy some Zacapa and bring it and we can compare it. I bought a large bottle of the extra old which should be plenty.
