October 12, 201312 yr Let's see what shows up this year. First up the Auralic stand/DAC/amp. http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2013/10/11/rmaf-2013-auralic-and-the-abyss/
October 12, 201312 yr $1,995 for the Gemini 2000 and $995 for the Gemini 1000, in case anyone is wondering. http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2013/10/auralic-go-lifestyle-with-gemini-1000-2000/
October 12, 201312 yr I'm here and about to head out to the ballroom floor to check out CanJam with my son.
October 12, 201312 yr Boy that headphone stand/amp/dac is atrocious. Cheers to Todd & Pete at RMAF -- wish I were hanging with you guys, having beers, and maybe watching the Red Sox kick ass! (Sorry Todd ). Toasting you with a Topless Wytch (c/o Mike Sr. I believe) while working in Mayberry. Cheers! Edited October 12, 201312 yr by Voltron
October 13, 201312 yr I think I will hold out for the cryo version. Why go insane when you can go uber insane?
October 14, 201312 yr Expensive equals good. Sprinkle on some DHT's and it is awsome!!! 6SN7 driving a 300B. That's guaranteed awesome right there! It's like they're not even trying anymore.
October 14, 201312 yr Damn $16k, that's nuts. I see there are new Audeze phones. anyone have any thoughts on those?
October 14, 201312 yr Author Also new Oppo planars... http://www.head-fi.org/t/685704/oppo-pm-1-a-new-planar-magnetic-headphone Edited October 14, 201312 yr by blessingx
October 14, 201312 yr I giggled when reading that "we'll" be receiving a pair at the "Head-Fi HQ." Somewhere near to his laptop at the breakfast nook?
October 14, 201312 yr Jesus, Jude has passed up The Weather Channel for trying sex up the hopelessly regular. As for Amos, his house is actually on Jude's lap... where he belongs.
October 14, 201312 yr 6SN7 driving a 300B. That's guaranteed awesome right there! It's like they're not even trying anymore. This stuff isn't about high quality, it's just about using tubes people know about and can waste an untold amount of money to roll.
October 14, 201312 yr This stuff isn't about high quality, it's just about using tubes people know about and can waste an untold amount of money to roll. No kidding. The sad part is their $999 WA7 DAC/amp will sound better unless they screwed it up or deliberately crippled it.
October 14, 201312 yr Damn $16k, that's nuts. I see there are new Audeze phones. anyone have any thoughts on those? If you can hold out 9-12 months you can get the LCD-(n+1)
October 14, 201312 yr Woo Audio goes INSANE? http://feedly.com/k/GVJ5tE Wow, that is seriously expensive.
October 14, 201312 yr Not expensive enough, i told Pete to make quad box monoblocks for $20k Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
October 15, 201312 yr Oppo headphones - legit. I would expect them to be reasonably priced and well built if anything like their universal players.
October 15, 201312 yr I would expect them to be oem'd, because building a universal player is nothing like building headphones
October 15, 201312 yr Woo Audio goes INSANE? http://feedly.com/k/GVJ5tE The last pic is the first spec sheet I've ever seen that gives a pounds/channel rating. I mean, I know some manufacturers like to game their specs, but surely no one out there can touch the sheer power of 60 pounds/channel for a headphone amplifier. IS THERE NOTHING MOAR HEAVY OUT THERE? And what's the conversion to furlongs per fortnight? I know we're converting between weight efficiency and speed, but some of you math people can figure it out. Handle it!

Handle it! for a second i thought you said pounds per watt, and thats probably next
