Audeze MM-100
I also ordered April 13. The last email update from Audeze stating that shipments would begin this week had a preorder status link for my order. That status was showing that my order was due to be shipped this week until I checked it today and it just says September with no dates. It’s weird...- Barry S

Audeze has a 30 day return policy—that’s a generous amount of time to evaluate a pair of headphones.- Barry S

Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier
I still have the Rag and the LCD-X, and still love the combination. Some other amps I loved with the LCD-X include the Liquid Gold (unfortunately not made anymore, but worth hunting for a used one), and the (original) microZOTL. The microZOTL MZ2 is the successor to the version I auditioned, so...- Barry S

First weekend in December is good. We can reserve spots ahead of time, if space is limited. Once we confirm the date, I'll start a new thread and we can work out the details.- Barry S

DC Area Head-Fi Meet - Sunday, October 16, 2016
Hey guys-- I was in Atlanta all week for a meeting (that was actually awesome, unlike most of them!) and passed out before midnight on Monday, so I'll plan on snagging another room at the end of this month. That would put the next meeting in February. That's unless the Urban HiFi space in...- Barry S

Charging dues from the beginning with no track history, may discourage membership. I love that anyone can attend our meets--that's an important principle for me. Oddly, the payment form states: By signing this membership form, I agree to abide by all rules and procedures of the DC Hi-Fi Group...- Barry S

Looks like there's going to be an amazing collection of gear. Have been looking forward to this for months, but a good friend was just hospitalized and I'm filling in for her all day Sunday on a project. Hope everyone has a great time and I'll schedule a winter meet soon.- Barry S

A Ragnarok can draw maybe 4 amps if you turn it up to 11. Most of the time, it's probably drawing between 1 and 2 amps.- Barry S

Haha--it's calling, but I'm not sure I'm answering right now. Wonder how well the Sonett 2 handles the Utopia?- Barry S

Valhalla--nice sounding OTL amp. Haven't A/Bed directly with Crack. Lyr- Not a favorite--smallish soundstage, and doesn't have the dynamics in better (more expensive) amps. It sounds good with some cans, but a very picky amp for pairing. Tube Mjolnir - haven't auditioned, but had the...- Barry S

Listened to most of the Woo amps, and couldn't find any that worked for me. Mostly issues with unpleasant or overbearing coloration. WA22 is ok, but thin-sounding and lacking liveliness compared to better tube amps. Plus, they want to soak you on the tube upgrades.- Barry S

Soldering is required, but learning to solder takes 10-15 minutes of practice. Most of it is having a decent iron, correct sized tip, good solder, flux pen, solder braid--and taking your time. Apple Music is fine--that's what I'll have too--gets you 95% of the way there. At a noisy meet, a hi...- Barry S

Tyll is one of my favorite reviewers, but who knows--the Russian mob may have their hooks in him. Let's try and get all of these cans at the meet.- Barry S

WTH has eclipsed the HD800S and HE-1000? Take a break from head-fi for a few months and everything has changed. Need to rethink my complete system because of changes in my life and also because head-fi is surprisingly unsatisfying when you stick with the same gear--no matter how good. MicroZOTL2...- Barry S

Oops--that was left over from the last meet--was trying (unsuccessfully) to get the same 5 songs on every system. I can bring my Crack+Speedball if that would be in the running for you. There are at least two other Crack owners in the group. Very interested in the Modi Multibit and another...- Barry S

Thanks Mark! Haven't made any final decisions on the gear yet. I think not paying interns is 100% wrong and is exploitation, but she didn't have a choice and it's critical for her ability to get a job when she graduates. But yes, it pisses me off every time I think about it.- Barry S

DC-Area Head-Fi Meet - Saturday, February 27, 2016 -- Impressions Thread
Having a bit of an existential quandry. Maybe I should trade everything for a MicroZOTL2 and an HD800S? The Yggy has messed up my brain--things are going to sound weird/bad if I switch DACs and keep the LCD-X's. Maybe I can reset my brain by swapping everything out?- Barry S

Gaaak! Beautiful, but no way can I swing $2700 at the moment. My daughter decided to stay at school over the summer to take an (unpaid) internship, so there goes $3000 in rent. I'm thinking of selling the Yggy/Rag for something smaller/lighter/cheaper.- Barry S
