Hi there, hoping to get some advice from you all about adding a remote control to my Rag 1 setup. My current setup is Gungnir (balanced out) > Rag (balanced in) > Speaker outputs and balanced HP out. A couple options I’m considering are adding a Saga or a Freya. A few questions… SE vs...

I just went through this with them, unfortunately. The drivers are covered for 3 years but the cable for only one. They offered me a replacement cable for $100 (edit: this was for the original Sine Cipher cable). You could check if you have extended warranty coverage via your credit card.

The Cipher cable for my closed-back Sine died recently, does anyone happen to know where I could find a replacement? Anyone looking to part with theirs? thanks!

I did some rearranging recently but my setup has been fairly stable, the Stratus was the most recent addition at the beginning of the year. I still have some work to do on cable management but overall I'm very happy with what I have :) Living Room Pro-ject Debut Carbon, Technics SL-Q2, Schiit...

Would there be any issue plugging a Ragnarok into a smart outlet so I can turn it on/off via an Amazon Echo? There's no reason that should cause it any harm, right?   thanks in advance!

How many of you have tried the Gumby with an Airport Express?   Jason and the Schiit website claim the AX should trigger the "buy better gear" light, though mine doesn't. Has anyone noticed the same? I believe I'm using the first generation AX.

  More interesting than the technical differences, however, will be the practical differences. I'm excited to hear what people think, as I'll definitely be picking up one of the two!

I am very excited to hear the results of this - thanks for taking it on!

Well I definitely, inadvertently, pissed off my neighbors for several hours last night. I didn't realize that my Ragnarok was set to speakers + headphones mode until about 2am.   As much as I love my Ragnarok (which is a great deal, I couldn't be happier with it sound-wise), the lack of a...

  I would also love to hear this comparison if anyone is able!

I'm using a pair of Philharmonitors (http://philharmonicaudio.com/philharmonitor.html) with my Rag. They're my first legit speakers but I'm really digging them so far. 

I'm about to head to Japan for a couple of weeks and was wondering if there are any great (higher-end) audio stores or record stores that I should check out. I would love to go try out some headphones and equipment that I haven't heard before.    I'll be making stops in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka...

Cool, thanks guys. Seems like switches and/or y-splitters might be the way to go. 

I've had my Ragnarok for a few weeks now and I'm loving it so far. I do have a question about the preamp out though.    My main setup is: turntable+phono stage and bifrost  >> Rag >> headphones (balanced) and speakers (speaker taps). I don't want to completely give up my tube headphone amp...

Ah yikes, good to know, thanks! If anyone has any other local (SF) recommendations I'd love to hear those as well!

Ah, fantastic, thanks Blake. I work in the East Bay so getting out to Lafayette isn't bad at all. I'll shoot them an email to get some more details. 

Hey everyone, I'm probably about to order a Rag and as such would like to convert my T1's to balanced. I'm considering doing it myself, but mostly for the peace of mind I'm leaning toward having someone more experienced take care of it.    I'm not looking to upgrade the cable, I just want the...

Yeah, I paid just $23.59 via fedex. Seems to be the way to go. 

The west coast lcd-x are on their way to vaed as of earlier today!

Hey guys, the west coast LCD-X arrived at my office this afternoon and everything looks great.    I did some casual listening at work through my icon hdp. They sounded great but aren't terribly practical at my office due to their open nature. My softball game was conveniently rained out so now...

  I think this is a great idea. 

Huge thanks to all of the vendors and members who shared their gear with us today! I had a great time at my first meet, despite the awful effect it's going to have on my wallet in the very near future.    Edit: And thanks to the organizers too, of course!

Looks like I stumbled upon this thread just in time, hopefully I can swing by for my first meet!

Ah nice, thanks for the heads up. I may just end up blind-buying them as well, but I'm holding out at least for a little bit in hopes that Sound Earphones does another 20% off gift card sale. 

Does anyone know of somewhere in San Francisco or the East Bay where I might be able to demo these?   Unfortunately Music Lovers in Pac Heights doesn't carry Audeze stuff at all (though it was great being able to audition a pair of HD800's there last week).
