  1. It has arrived Very interesting. The finish and the feel on the volume pots are amazing. Much more playing required. Unfortunately I also got a new phone today and that's swallowing some listening time.
  2. Why can't I stop lusting after this player.....
  3. This bad boy is finally going to arrive today and it's mine for 2 weeks The supplier kept selling out of them and didn't have one to send.
  4. I can't wait for my KGSS
  5. Quite right. Euphonic it is, but to me it actually isn't euphonic it's annoying The P1 is not tubey it fast and details there is just something that I generally describe as "fun" about it that is not present in the GS-X, reminds me a bit of the R10s. I'm not into headphone setups for that "fun" sound I want exactness more but that's me.
  6. I'd say so too. The GS-X + DAC3 is not lush I would say (but I like it that way).
  7. I've got a Bel Canto DAC3 and GS-X and I love the experience. I've also heard the P1 though only in passing and only with R10s that I'm not that familiar with. I have heard R10s out of my GS-X as well and I would say that the P1 is on the euphoric side of things while the GS-X is a wire with gain. It's up to you as to which you prefer.
  8. Hi xuys and gals, I'm thinking of getting some XLR splitters for my setup and this device looks good to me and avoids ground hum issues: Amazon.com: ROLLS MS20c MICROPHONE SPLITTER/COMBINER: Musical Instruments Am I breaking any rules if I use this for balanced audio instead of mic-level audio? Also are transformers essentially transparent to audio frequency signals? Thanks in advance
  9. Yeah I guess it's too big to smuggle in my anal cavity... Realistically they can't be too high on electronics or everything on the electronics store shelves would cost an absolute fortune. That said that price difference seems odd for people in the US but people in Europe are probably well acquainted with it. There though a lot of it is taxes so I'm not sure what the deal is here.
  10. I dunno I just ran the dp-600 through pricejapan and got $7400 you could afford to fly it to japan 2/3 times personally for the price difference between that and MSRP.
  11. Could we do what the GS-X does too? You can certainly still hear sound with the RCA input on balanced headphones though I guess it's not the same.
  12. Justin, Was "Use 2 Dynafet boards per channel" what you do in the GS-X (of course with dynalo boards)? It appear to be but I'm not sure.
  13. SE to balanced would be awesome but it doesn't need to be a transformer on my GS-X it appears that it just puts the ground to the -VE boards on the SE inputs.
  14. fixed Thanks to Grawk I believe.
  15. Nope no such luck. Generally my wife and I stick to the KC (we attend more ballet and opera than classical) because we like to take the Metro into DC but I'll have take a look at what's going on out there.
  16. Dammit. I got our tax return done over the weekend and was looking to spend our return on some trips but my brother is visiting from Barbados on the 7th. You guys have a good one.
  17. Didn't know about this thread. Ann Sophie Mutter, Andre Previn and some bassist along with the Kennedy Center Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. That woman is awe inspiring with a violin.
  18. Processor/Pre-amp....
  19. It's not fundementally abstract for me but I certainly prefer to be able to switch albums at the drop of a hat. I await the sony processor with digital in. This could prove to an amazing setup for a relatively low price?
  20. Still down for me. Oh well I'll get used to it.
  21. We want but me have no use for it...
  22. If I type in Head-Case.org I get this: Everything else (forums and chat) functions as normal but for some reason the main page isn't working. Any ideas?
  23. You guys rule! I'm sorry I can't really help other than financially but I'm trying to follow all the happenings. Would it be possible to order 4 boards worth of parts along with my properly built ones (ie not by me) so I can maybe give DIY a try again?
  24. Send me your money!!!!! You'll get your amps in 3-4 years if fed-ex doesn't give me trouble Seriously I'm in for whatever... Probably not a good idea to have me do the money though since my life borders on the insanely hectic nearly all the time
  25. Continuum mechanics? Definitely using continuity to simplify.
