I graciously accept the award for best transducer chair, the competition was fierce. If there were any women judges though, I would probably have won the Best of Show award as well.   I also liked the HD800 on the Violectric, but for the price, the Modi/Bottlehead Crack combo is hard to beat...

I'm enjoying the HE-400i, but it was apparent as soon as I started listening to them on my laptop and phone that they would require an amplifier. With the volume maxed out, they are about 80% there. I tried a Yamaha AV receiver, but did not care fore the sound even though it got plenty loud. I...

I know what you mean. I recently bought a pair of HE-400i's and quickly realized they needed a bit more "boom" to keep up with my car's sound system. 2 butt shakers and a couple hundred watts later...problem solved.

    OK, consider it brought. My setup is not as portable as a Sub Pac, but it's got a lot more kick to it. 2 Ibeams and a 200W plate amp on a small recliner. It's actually a bit overkill...just the way I like it.

If anyone is interested, I can bring my listening chair to the meet. I mounted a couple of tactile transducers (bass shakers) to it to enhance the headphone listening experience. It's a work in progress so it's not much to look at, but it is a fun experience especially if you like to feel the...

Excellent! The 400i is high on my list and anything from Hifiman, Sennheiser or AKG would be much appreciated.   I don't have anything to listen to, but I can bring a lot of questions.....and a few bucks to pitch in for lunch.

Thanks for the offer musiclvr, I'd be interested in listening to the V-Moda and AKGs if you wouldn't mind bringing them to the meet. I know what you mean by changing tastes, I've been involved in the car audio hobby for 20 years and have gone through many phases. I think I'm ready for a new...

I've browsed through this forum in the past but just got around to creating an account as I noticed a date for an upcoming Phoenix meet was being thrown around. I haven't been to a meet before and have never had the chance to listen to high end gear. I've been wanting to upgrade from my ATH-M50...
