I just got my Focal Utopia dead driver repaired in warranty. My dealer took care of me and I had my unit back in a week with new matched set of drivers inside. Very happy with the service. My Utopias were given new life.

Hey guys. I'll be bringing the following cans: Sennheiser HD650 Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Focal Utopia Sony MDR-F1 Etymotic Research ER-4P KZ ZS3 Amp: Laconic/Eddie Current x Massdrop ZDT Jr. Excited to see you there!

The original HD250 Linear 600 ohm is really great. One of the funnest yet cohesive tuned headphones I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. The midrange is to die for... well, second to HD540 Reference of course. :smile_phones: Yes the HD250 is remarkably balanced and open-sounding to me...

I had to get an Eddie Current Zana Deux S to top my SEX amp! To be fair I did not try the Mainline or anything else above $1000. Of the few nice amps I owned and tried at meets/friends however, none of them had the midrange resolution of the SEX or paired as well with Utopia and HD650. SEX...

On August 6th, 2018 the Edmonton Headphone Enthusiasts (EHE) are having a meet (click here for more info and to RSVP)! It will be held between 1:00 - 5:00 PM at Urban Tavern (in the party room), and we will be going out for optional dinner and drinks afterwards. Hope to see you there! :)

SCHIIT LOKI MINI EQ QUICK REVIEW Just throwing in my $0.02 here. In short, I liked the Loki Mini quite a lot. I owned it for a few months only, in that time three things stood out: it is useful for analogue sources, brilliantly simple, and exceptionally transparent. Firstly, I don't listen to...

They are super comfy! I think the looks kinda grow on ya. :)

Initially I glossed over this announcement, not particularily interested in another mediocre pro-can. That is, until I saw that it was based on the HD250 Linear. I have recently become a pretty big fan of the HD250, namely due to how open, dynamic, and revealing they are. And being an older...

I dont know enough about people's experiences with crackatwoa. Mainline ought to be an upgrade for sure. I was considering the Lyr2 once, but eventually went for Bottlehead SEX. I made a review recently which can be found on the product showcase page. I'll try to provide relavant info and why...

Me too. Need to hear some impressions on these. The first batch ship at the end of the month, correct?

Bottlehead S.E.X. (Single-Ended eXperimenter) Amplifier Mini-review I purchased this product myself for personal enjoyment in July 2017. It is a fantastic amplifier that I have truly enjoyed listening to music with. At the time of purchase, I opted for the C4S upgrade, which is an optional...

Truth is, the HD650 have that 3D soundscape magic. The Clear have it too, but HD650 can match or exceed Clear in at least this regard. Despite being outclassed in a variety of ways, HD650 is still a strong contender. It is about as detailed as Clear. Clear is more suitable for listening at low...

Ok thanks. Got some maple wood stain and gun finishing oil, which I think is tung oil. That should be ok.

Good meet was cool to have all this neat gear out. Maybe a bigger space or a quiet room for open backed headphones next time. Having said that, this room was pretty good. And I gotta paint the wood base for that S.E.X. amp Thanks to all who came out. Also, I have an extra Sennheiser 1/4"...

I am expecting to be there at noon

I've got the Noble audio phone cable with 3.5mm TRRS for Android and iphone. Works great with both. Retains some memory but good material low microphonics and doesn't tangle too easily.

The desks in the meeting rooms have power bars built into them.

Is it easy to get a room on short notice? Another room would be useful, as we will have open backed headphones there. People may want to spend so.e time alone with the open headphones and we can have one quiet room and one social room type of deal.

I would also arrive near the same time as jhammy96, at the earliest.

HPpy new year!!!!!! As usual i danced with all the older ladies but the ones my age (23) were mostly shy. Here's to another year of pulling every other woman on the dance floor! :)

Thank you to all who attended! Hope to get some more listening time with each other's gear in the future, and maybe I'll have some more finished tracks and sketches by next time.:musical_score: Highlights for me were the awesome custom franken-amp, esp. with the HD250 Linear, the really NICE...

Still can't get the S.E.X. working. I'll bring it anyway in case anyone has a moment to check it out and some knowledge of how it's wired. Got the manual on my laptop, which is also coming. Can't wait to see y'all there. Stoked to meet some audio freaks :)

I'll be there :) Hopefully so will the Bottlehead S.E.X. if I can get it working again.

Saw the post on SBAF, figured it would be the same meeting we'e been discussing here. Glad we'r booked and all. I'm pretty freaking stoked to attend my first ever meet. Should be able to make it and I'll let you know on both forums if I cannot, etc. Cheers, -Slanks
