Unofficially it's the McAllister Massive Attack, but we all know it by it's real name, the Thundercougarfalconbird.

^^^

Let's see...
  • History is made by those who show up.
  • Decisions are made by those who show up.
  • Delegate power goes to those who show up.
  • Destiny is wrought by those who show up.

Sure!
But there are no other active Head-Fi'ers in my area. Hence a local meeting with one attender (me) are quite pointless..

crappyjones123 it was a real pleasure to exchange some ideas with you, and to talk a little bit. And it is true, there is no way you can test an equipment with other person musical preference, you have to bring what you like and period...sounds good or bad, that is what you like. Remember Metallica Saint Anger, that was not the best of the recordings to try equipment, but that is what you like, so for you is completelly irrelevant how good Diana Krall will sound (unless in front of you, and with some clothes off, of course) in that setup...

In my case I always target tow or three items that I will audition, and trust me that for more that i try, there is always surprises...I had three clear ones, Denon, AD2000 and JVC woodie, among those the JVC is still pending, but I got into IEM's and trust me that I never expected that...

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you know for sure how the recording is supposed to sound? So for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and begin to feel the music instead!!!

And how about now the Ultrasone Edition 9?

my laptop has been with ibm for the past few days so i havent been able to update that list but i do have a few other things on paper that i will add when i get the lappy back.

sovkiller, pleasure was all mine. another thing i was going to mention which you already did was this. listening to "reference" cd's may highlight the excellence of the system but what happens when you come home and your poorly mastered slim shady recording sounds like absolute rubbish on that multi thousand dollar rig? take cd's that you actually listen to but listen to the music that the rig excels at reproducing a little bit as well. it will give you a better idea of what to compare between one headphone and another for instance.

That happen to me recently, I was used to the sound of my Axioms M3ti monitors, and a subwoofer, so I decided to upgrade to the best they have, the M80's, a floorstanders, very nice organic sound with good recordings, but a total deception at the beginning with the lousy ones. i said myself 100 times, I'm spending 1000+ to get this sound, no way, tried this and that, and asking here and there an finaly I realized the sad truth, being those speakers a lot more resolving, all critical defects show up, I need to learn how to deal with them from now on...but one thing is sure, ignorance is a bliss we do not have anymore, once you listen good, there is no turning back...
