  1. Indeed, you are not wrong.
  2. Mmm, lemme know when it is done.

    Audeze LCD-2

    Nope, gotta get around to trying the O2 pads. Dont really have any other pads which seem suitable, though I wonder if AKG pads would work, as the mounting looks very similar.
  4. Yup. Those are sockets for the optional input phase splitter, as apparently it cant work with a SE source otherwise. It was a great meet, well worth the 8 hours in the car to hang out with the gang.

    Audeze LCD-2

    I never liked the YH-100, either my own pair or NoNoNoNoNoNo's modded pair. I dunno, I REALLY like the HE-5, actually agreed to buy it today. Didnt try a Millett with the Audez'e, but my normal Max was a bit bass light with the 25ohm HE-5. Easily could be a function of the 470uf output caps, so if I were going to try it, I would probably go for at least 1000uf there. I much prefer my l'espressivo.
  6. Quad of NOS NIB Mullard E810F.

    Audeze LCD-2

    I actually was quite surprised by how much I preferred the HE-5. I dunno, I just found the LCD2 to be muddy and congested, too bassy, and hot, heavy, and uncomfortable to wear. There were two pairs there, one with solid leather pads, and another with leather/velour hybrids, kinda like what the HE90 does. Alex mentioned it isnt done yet, about a month off or so I think, and that the cable was going to be removable and connect by mini-xlr (balance-able, not like some of the AKGs).

    And seems they finally figured it out over at the monitor. Irish priest kidnapped in Philippines released | csmonitor.com
  9. More to the point, what is the benefit of seeking the opinions of others, once one has already purchased all of the equipment they are going to for a while. Seems a bit backwards, buying and then asking.
  10. Great. Not another word about them until then.

    slow forum

    This is going to keep me amused for the rest of the day. Just lucky I wasnt actively drinking soda when I read it.
  12. What does the math say about how many seconds after 8am Tuesday morning it will be until you can afford JH13? Congrats though Brent. Hopefully you can make it turn into even more.

    Audeze LCD-2

    I will ask them at the meet tomorrow, but soon is all I have heard thus far.
  14. Have a great one, get many dacsies!
  15. Warning, does not compute!
  16. Lower distortion too, since less excursion for a given spl. Of course, what you are asking about is a line array, and there is a lot of available reading material on that subject.
  17. I'm in. Expect something...different. I dont do any of this hi-rez nonsense either.
  18. At least you can measure it.

    Audeze LCD-2

    Prefer fullsize headphones to in ear ones? Half the retail cost, and probably able to be sold for more. Not convinced on the absolute superiority of the JH13.
  20. BNC, because I can.
  21. You figure most DACs use ASRC these days? No idea really. Also, many sources will use a series ferrite bead to suppress EMI for FCC compliance reasons, even though that EMI is really just upper harmonics making the sharp edge of the wave.
  22. Misc parts from MPJA, and 10x NOS 6J52p tubes.
  23. Or if you decide to use a resistor string off B+ to bias your heaters, you can just put an LED in series with that. I will see about asking them to send one to Florida. Assuming, you know, I havnt bought one before then.
  24. 1. Slow rise/fall time, which can influence the decision point (jitter) 2. Yes, different connection types can have different jitter, which may matter to the sound. Depends really how the DAC gets it's clocks. Of course, toslink does have the advantage of complete galvanic isolation. Coax may, depending on the use of pulse transformers.
