McIntosh MHA50 Portable Decoding Amplifier
Still waiting...? I went by a Best Buy / Magnolia, then a local independent shop, back in January or February. The guy at BB/M didn't even know what I was talking about (I've gotten amazing attention at Magnolia, it was just this guy, who then proceeded to show me the Audeze Deckard and call...- ScuderiaHeadFi

[CLOSED] Mojo vs micro iDSD vs m8 vs "?"(feel free to add)]
A) I am annoyed some of your comments have been directed at me as a person. Comments like, "have you ever actually heard it" or, "your desire to sell more expensive amps." You're insinuating ideas about my knowledge (assuming I have none) and my motives (that I am on HeadFi to sell things). ...- ScuderiaHeadFi

[CLOSED] Mojo vs micro iDSD vs m8 vs "?"(feel free to add)]
I'm doing my best to ignore your insinuations that I don't have credible knowledge. I work for an audio dealer, one which, moreover represents the specific products I've discussed. So yes, I've listened to them. Extensively. I've also listened to these different components plugged into...- ScuderiaHeadFi

It's important to build a system that is quality from start to finish. In the extreme example, headphones that cost a million dollars powered by a source that cost pennies gives you a system that sounds like it cost pennies. Even in your more balanced example, I would not use any of...- ScuderiaHeadFi

Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?
I try not to confuse populism and consumerism. Many seem to think that things that look like they can be purchased (as a consumer good) should actually be made purchasable (to a wide base of people). I beg to differ. Some things in this world are made not for the sake of purchase but as...- ScuderiaHeadFi

Reply to review by 'scuderiaheadfi' on item 'Fostex T50RP Closed Ear Stereo Headphones'
Mark Up, why would they want to make it more Audeze-like? I wouldn't exactly say Audeze is some embodiment of headphone perfection. Let Audeze be Audeze, and other headphones be other headphones.- ScuderiaHeadFi

AudioQuest NightHawk Headphone Unveiled Today
Part of the explanation lies in AxelCloris's very accurate answer of how manufacturers balance logistics with customer delivery/satisfaction. Part of it has to do with the process of developing and delivering a completely new product type for the first time, especially if you want your first...- ScuderiaHeadFi

What open headphones (no IEM and closed headphones) compete with Grados for Rock.
I stand corrected! The dealer I work for carries the Prestige and Studio ranges (iGrado through 325e, PS500e, PS1000e), and I would say among the two versions of those 8 models (actually, I don't believe the iGrado was part of the e-evolution, though I'm not sure), which I've gotten to hear...- ScuderiaHeadFi

I want to reinforce adtrance... the "e" series of Grado are a huge step up across the board versus previous generations. But mostly, you'll have to tell us more - which Grados do you have/have you been demoing? What exactly do you mean by rock? Meshugga? Dire Straits? I won't argue...- ScuderiaHeadFi

AudioQuest NightHawk Headphone Unveiled Today
Or, go to your local Audioquest dealer. Those who are ordering any are going to order them now; Audioquest is going to take awhile to produce enough for retailers to keep any in stock. Initial shipments will be first-come, first-serve, so if you want to have them when they start shipping you...- ScuderiaHeadFi
