Showing My D2000 to others.
Took 18 posts before this. HC, you've gotten soft on Denons.

the NEW Zana Deux, ZDT and Balancing Act thread
That is fucking top tier.

WA5 or ECBA
Yeah, buy Californian.

Best and most affordable way to sound proof a wall
I'm jealous. Girls are the worst. Yuck.

Belden 1800F or Canare L-4E6S Star Quad XLR cables
OK, kinda off topic: If capacitance is the main concern for interconnects, and impedance is the main issue for speaker cable, what do I need to worry about for headphone cables? Can I assume impedance like speaker cable?

CK2III or CTH for ATs/Grados
Sorry, I don't have anything for you, yet. Hopefully soon.

who here likes rap?
A lot of the dudes start out so strong but get lame when they get a big contract. No idea how that happens...

New headphones or upgrade?
A thoroughly HF-style first post: vague and full of assumptions based on HF "common knowledge." I'll throw you a bone by answering your questions to the best of my ability: 1st option: better source or amp 2nd option: almost anything

Grado HF-2 Impressions Thread
Dynalos are sweet. I recently squished my bowls down, and they're pretty badass now. Regular bowls still suck.

Sonic Studio 302 (aka Metric Halo ULN-2)
From what they told me, if you buy it new, you have to set up a couple things before you can use it as a standalone DAC. You would need a Mac for that initial setup.

Hmmm... I might as well try to get in on that loaner if I can. Missed em at the meet. Edit: Oops. 1000 post req. Fuck that.

Stax SR-007 + ??? amp
Oops. Not directed at you. I know you can actually build stuff. OP can't.

Stax SR-007 + ??? amp
I hope this is a temporary thing. Otherwise, why bother with O2s?
-
JH Audio stuffs
Hmm... Dynafet -> balanced JH13s? Too retarded? Seems like I'd fry something.

If you had a $1,000, or so, to spend and K-701 headphones
Ampless and over budget?

Solid-state equivalent of WA5
Tubes don't necessitate tube-rolling, so they're only a hassle if your tubes go bad. Or if you're just super fiddly. Also, why bother with SAA? Just get the WA5 and copy Mikey's tubes.

So dual entry is considered superior sonically? I did not know this.

RIP Les Paul
Yeah, where would we be without him? A true legend.

Audeze LCD-1 just landed!
I'm fairly certain it's not the album itself. What I heard on that system was not as subtle as poor mastering; it was serious distortion. It's not like I've never heard the song on a variety of equipment before.

That was me. A Perfect Circle's The Package: it's my bass impact and sibilance test track. The LCD-1s didn't do great with that track...

The Menace
Wow, it got sold. Congrats!

I got in a very quick comparison. The Sigs were much brighter than the 4070s to me, and that's all I can say.

Yay, confirmation. In that case, the original Omega rocks better than any other stat I've heard. Is it true that it has the biggest Stax driver ever? Edit: did Fallenangel get to sell that Dynalo?
