APEX PINNACLE OR TWO OF THESE : ECBA & DNA STRATUS/ CAVALLI LG/ RSA DARK STAR
Quote: This is interesting, given this... I'm confused. Which is it? You didn't know the price of the Pinnacle and thought the Peak was the one that cost $10,000? Or you thought that the Pinnacle was "probably the most expensive item there..." (other than the Peak...- Wmcmanus

APEX PINNACLE OR TWO OF THESE : ECBA & DNA STRATUS/ CAVALLI LG/ RSA DARK STAR
Quote: First of all, I've been an inactive moderator for several years now, mostly I suppose because the place eventually got overrun by newbie fools who had never been to a single meet before, yet somehow had the audacity to think they could provide meaningful reviews of 69 rigs, and that...- Wmcmanus

APEX PINNACLE OR TWO OF THESE : ECBA & DNA STRATUS/ CAVALLI LG/ RSA DARK STAR
Quote: Obviously a problem somewhere in the chain, and not a problem with the amp itself. Your first hint should have been when you plugged into a system with an extremely well reviewed, high-priced amp that you had every reason to expect would make any pair of headphones...- Wmcmanus

Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
I still belly up to the bar for a beer every now and then. Lots of new kids in town, but it's the same old neighborhood. The place where you grew up will always fell like home no matter how much it may have changed. You just have to look around for a while, and you'll be bound to find...- Wmcmanus

Larry at Headphile is selling a "like new" condition Sennheiser HE90 Orpheus...is that the going rate?
Quote: Funny you should say that, because I'm in that market at the moment as well. I've got an '08 Monster S4RS Tricolore that I keep in the US, but that big beast scares the crap out of me. So I'm thinking about getting a lesser powered, but still pretty powerful, Ducati to bring to...- Wmcmanus

HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone
Quote: I think you've named yourself correctly, headphone addict. With all of the high end headphones you have, you're worried that if you sold one it would leave you with a "hole" in your lineup! Too funny.- Wmcmanus

Official: New York Area Meet, Nov 20, White Plains, NY
I'll probably be square, although there is actually a chance that I'll be in New York that week, in which case I'll be there. Not sure if that trip will happen in November or December, and unfortunately I don't control the timing of it. At the moment, it looks like December but...- Wmcmanus

Ultrasone Edition 10 announced!
Quote: Chances are pretty good that it's just poor artwork. Can't imagine the folks at Ultrasone haven't yet figured out the difference between open and closed. Wonder if there's a Wiki we can refer them to, just in case.- Wmcmanus

DIY Charity Raffle - Twisted Pear Ventus
Great idea, Nate, and a wonderful gesture as a friend, and particularly as not a particularly good friend of Zach's dad (although I suspect that may change soon). PM sent.- Wmcmanus

Pinpointing custom IEM "fit" issues
This was a long time ago, and there is more to the story now. I think the answer is no. I'm not sure though. I gave my UE-10s to a UE rep (who no longer works for the company at this point) who as in attendance and working at their table at the San Jose CanJam. I didn't get his name at the...- Wmcmanus

Ultrasone Edition 10 announced!
Quote: I know that this is probably a strange thing to say at a headphone forum, but it would just seems dorky (to me) to wear a t-shirt like that. Maybe because it's product specific. I like the AKG t-shirt that someone gave me at one of the CanJams (can't remember which one), and I've...- Wmcmanus
