    Denon AH-D9200 - 2018 Flagship - Impressions Thread

    Does anyone know whether the detachable cables on the 9200 use the same type of detachable connectors as the Focal Clear? I think it's a 3.5 mm plug on the Clear. I'm hoping to buy one after-market cable that I could use with both my Clear and the 9200 when I get a pair. Thank you

    Sennheiser HD820

    For those of us with older amps, that don't have Pentaconn outputs (e.g. mine has 3-pin and 4-pin (stereo) XLR), what will be the best way to listen to the 820? Is there a way to take advantage of the newer technology? Or should we just limit ourselves to the included single-ended RCA cable...

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    I will definitely be there on Sunday, not Friday, all day, and I can bring any or all of the following gear so just let me know.  I'll leave my gear in the room and then go listen to the SF speakers, and then come back.    Philippe, if you need a minimum time commitment to justify handing...

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    I already contacted James Tanner at Bryston about whether he would be willing to lend you (or Michel) a BDA-1 and BDP-1 for the show.     And I would love to hear the audiophileo.  Looking forward to it.  My GCHA should have arrived by then, and maybe the Denon 7000s, if anyone is interested...

    Ultrasone Edition 8 and GCHA

    Has anyone tried the Ed 8s with the PS AUdio GCHAs?  I've looked through the various threads but wasn't able to find anything, although people seem to like this amp with the Denon 5000s and 7000s.   And does anyone know whether B&H or other retailers are offering the Ed 8s at a discount?  I...

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    And to clarify, I will probably attend the show on Friday, although I'm waiting to hear back from the SF rep as to which day would be best for him.

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    I don't think I'll be in the room as much as I was last year, just because I want to spend some time with the Sonus Faber speakers.  So maybe a couple of hours.   Unless someone brings a pair of Ultrasone Edition 8s -- then I'll be in the room all day.

    Montreal Meet at the SSI 2011

    Should I register through SSI or will be able to attend as exhibitors without paying the registration fee?  I will probably come up on Friday as I want to listen to a few speakers when there aren't as many people around.  I'm thinking about upgrading my system.

    New Esoteric players (K-01, K-03): anyone has seen or heard?

    I heard both the K-01 and K-03 at CES, and they are fantastic.  Not sure what else I can say about them, other than I'd probably get the K-03 because it was close enough to the K-01 for me and a lot less money.

    PS Audio GCHA Obsolete?

    I'm planning to use it with the Denon 7000s, hoping that the pair will make a nice combination. Or maybe the 5000s -- haven't decided yet how much I'd like to spend. I'd love to know whether you think the Cullen mods are worth it. It seems a little expensive for the parts that are upgraded.

    PS Audio GCHA Obsolete?

    PS Audio did confirm that they are not working on a replacement for this amp, and I agree with fzman -- it's a crazy bargain at $500. Not sure why they lowered the price so much, but I'm definitely getting one.

    Creek OBH-11 WOW!

    I haven't and was considering it, but was afraid it would be putting lipstick on a pig given the reviews the amp has gotten here. What parts are upgraded? And have you also changed the power supply? Mine still has the original cheap wall wart.

    PS Audio GCHA Obsolete?

    Does anyone know whether PS Audio is planning to replace the GCHA with a new amp? It's about five years old, and the price has recently been cut in half. I wasn't able to get a response from PS Audio, and the dealer I know hasn't heard anything either. Thanks for any help with this. Jon

    Good USB 24bit DAC for MacBook/Novo/AH-D5000

    I've ordered the DACport and am just waiting for it to arrive. If you can give me a little more time, I'll let you know what I think. A friend who bought one really likes it, he's using it with D7000s, and he's a pretty discerning audiophile. How do you like the Novo/5000 combination? I'm...

    2010 Montreal FSI [Head-fi] Meet

    Hi Everyone, I had a great time at the show, thanks for welcoming a Yankee into your group. It was fun to meet some (most?) of you, and I look forward to doing it again. I hope you'll swing by for a visit if you're driving down I-89 through Vermont. We live five minutes off the freeway...

    2010 Montreal FSI [Head-fi] Meet

    I'll be driving up from Vermont this morning, and I should be at the show around 10 am. I plan to drop off my RSA P-51 in the room in case anyone wants to listen to it, and then I'll wander around a bit. I'll be at the show all day, and I'll also have my Creek OBH-11 (and ATH-M50s) in case...

    2010 Montreal FSI [Head-fi] Meet

    I will try to make it up on Sunday as that seems like the day. I've been told it's 2.5 hours from my house, so I just have to look into rooms, see how much that will cost. Any recommendations on inexpensive hotels near the show would be welcome. If I come, I will bring the P-51 Mustang, the...

    Official NYC Spring 2010 Meet Saturday, March 13th

    I am trying to make your get-together, although I'm very new to your site. I saw that someone would like to hear an RSA P-51, and so will plan to bring mine if I get down there. I also have a Creek OBH-11 and some ATH-M50s, which I could bring as well. It's a long drive from Vermont, so...

    2010 Montreal FSI [Head-fi] Meet

    Hi Everyone, Very new to this site, but am wondering whether you'd welcome a Vermonter who doesn't mind your new hockey Gold medals? If I can come (still negotiating with my wife), I could bring the following, if you think anyone cares to listen: MacBook Pro iPod Creek OBH-11 RSA...
