2013 LA Regional Meet Impressions Thread
Signage at the tables--just simple cards like Frank Cooter's (though with more specific information). This was the first meet I've attended, and I would have loved to have seen a sign, or signs, at each table that identified all the components in a rig. And, if the plot Warren posted wasn't at...- jrb

2013 LA Regional Meet Impressions Thread
Thanks for organizing the meet, and thanks to all who brought rigs. First time at one of these, and I had a great time. Certainly the first time I could hear many of the amps and phones I've read about. Terrific sound from many set-ups: those remaining with me most vividly are Craig's...- jrb

Best low impedance amp for akg k550s
My son has an Asgard and the 550s. I can't imagine it getting a lot better with this headphone. I believe you're hearing the phones at their best. The bass is articulate and tuneful: though without much slam (I find it satisfying: I'm not listening hoping for more bass); the highs are a a...- jrb

New here and sorting things out: advice about tubes v. balanced ss? (LONG, Sorry)
Eric, Well, I have a choice of balanced or single ended for the headphone use: but it will be digital, the analog stays downstairs. I also, in just searching through the many head-fi threads and recommendations, can't find balanced tube headphone amps. As to music: I'll give the...- jrb

New here and sorting things out: advice about tubes v. balanced ss? (LONG, Sorry)
Pabbi About the balanced tubes: that's why I quoted Paravicini and others. It doesn't follow as far as my experience goes outside phone-land. And I do live in the Los Angeles area: hoping there will be meets in the near future. As to expense: that's not at the moment a tremendous...- jrb

New here and sorting things out: advice about tubes v. balanced ss? (LONG, Sorry)
I've been reading about now on the forum for three weeks or so in hopes of educating myself about the world of phones. I find myself just wanting some music late at night in office or bedroom without disturbing the family. Now I've had a pair of HD 580 Jubilees for a few years that I've listened...- jrb
