HeadphoneAddict

Well, I've been offered the A-10 review job, so yeah, I'm considering it. But that is old news. On a different note, do you really think an iMod with Vcaps and Amphora will be good enough to compare to even an average stat rig? Or are you thinking that the A-10 will be low enough that it wont surpass the Amphora? And what headphones should I pair with the Amphora to compare to the Stax O2? I've been selling off dynamics to get moar stats but I still have RS-1, HD600, ESW10, K1000, modded D2000, K240M and HFI-700. My Woo WA6 would be a more fair comparison (with RS-1 or HD600), since I posted in my review that the Woo was better (lo and behold the Woo has improved as the Blackgates and Vcaps finished burning in). I'll have my EC ZDT by then, and maybe the K1000 via 8-watt speaker taps will be even better competition. Hmmm...

Okay, expensive pre-amp.

I'm not sure I want that responsibility. We'll see, as it will be here at our Colorado High-Fi meet on 7/25/09 before Ray leaves it with me to review. But I'm also worried about what if something happens to it while in my possession. That was partly the reason why I didn't want to review it before CanJam, along with Ray wanting a larger audience to audition it (which meant waiting for our meet here). There will be no hour by hour burn-in impressions, and the A-10 is already burned in anyways (unless you don't believe in breaking in electronics, then it will simply be a used piece of gear with wear-and-tear). At the meet the A-10 will be compared to a maxed GES, Blue Hawaii SE, and a EC ZDT speaker amp with SRD-7 Pro, among others. I understand that none of these for comparison will be an "expensive" pre-amp and they don't cost as much, but wow!

Wow.

My wife just vetoed CanJam, even when I threw in Disney and Lego Land for the kids...

(thanking God right now that the whole house is on Mac now)

You owe me a new keyboard! Well, the link was payment enough, even if it was the cause to spew pepsi up my nose...

This is a poem, to the head-case freaks, the ones with the cats that use spoons. They hoot and holler, at all the new-bies, and if drunk enough they give them the moon. And if mooning too far, with butt hanging out of a car, we'd see more than a crack, like poontang.

I bought a black and purple one as a gift - the black is here but I can't try it since it isn't for me. Don't want to give it out till the purple one for my friend's wife arrives (backorder). I'll make sure they check out the signal issue, but I thought part of the phone isn't covered so that it wont affect the signal.

Here is a link to a discussion thread about them - Sellout.Woot: The Community: The Community: Woots: XPal Portable Li-Po Battery Pack You could ask about it there.

NICE!

That is helpful info here. I had to switch to Xact to get my 24/96 files into AIFF, since Max started to choke on them when making them into ALAC.

That is very dead. Kinda wishing I hadn't looked.

28 voters in tier 1, only 26 voters in tier 2 - and I'm losing in both votes.

I liked the Lavry DA10 a little more than my Apogee mini-DAC when plaidplatypus brought his over to try out with my stats. It cost a little more than I could afford, and I wanted XLR and RCA out; so I ended up with PS Audio Digital Link III after I compared it with a Stello DA100 Signature for a couple of hours. I really wanted a DA11 with the crossfade.

I couldn't get past the first 1:21 time.

Good points pabbi1 - thanks for trying to play espionage and get some answers from Alex.

I'm pretty sure that goes to the other end of the spectrum as too much amp for my K1000.

And yet I have a whole new respect for him.

I have a bluetooth laser keyboard I'd like to give a try when 3.0 supports it.

He's at 668 now...

You should try the messiah version with Christopher Hogwood conducting - one of the best, even if not a studio master. BTW, Did you notice that you have 666 posts, while discussing buying Handel's Messiah? Weird...

I'd agree with that. Also, a Kathleen Edwards Live iTunes original recording (6 song EP).
