FYI - I'll be bringing my RH-5 to the LI NY meet on the 10th with a decent source :)

At the moment I am leaning towards bringing: PS Audio DirectStream DAC and DirectStream Memory Player Rogue RH-5 Abyss AB-1266 There is a chance that I'll be able to bring an Abyss Diana Possibly some other nick nacks Got to find a hotel :(

I have been notified that Dr. Fang Bian (HiFiMan) will be flying in and joining us. He will need a table. He plans on donating to the NSSA (Not So Silent Auction), so bring your CASH.

I have marked the date.   I'll be bringing my new Rogue Audio RH-5 Headphone Amp.   My Abyss AB-1266 (They might be Phi by then)   Audeze iSine20   Source? Depends on how much energy I have. Maybe just a Mojo with CCK and OTG for people to use their own phones. Maybe the complete PS...

Hello All,   I am a tentative Yes (2 Months out it's tough to be more than tentative).   And if I am there I can run the NSSA.   It'll be good to see everyone.   Ethan Yikes

Just booked a room, so I am up for dinner. Looking forward to not having to drive home afterwards.   Toying with the idea of walking 12 minutes away to watch the 10pm UFC pay per view.

As in the past, if you have a piece of equipment that you no longer want/need and you think others might want it items can be donated to the Room (Auctioned off).   The Not So Silent Auction is NOT for private sales, just for items where the proceeds go to pay for the room.   It does appear...

Been a while.   I have to check my work schedule, but if not working I should be able to make it.   Not sure if I'll have the energy to bring a complete system, but since the Abyss came with a handy Man Bag carrying case I should be able to bring them.   Yikes Ethan

Think that I'll be able to make it.   Not sure what equipment I'll bring.   I suppose at a minimum I'll bring my Abyss headphones.    It'll be good to catch up.   E   Yikes

I got back from the Philippines on Saturday, but I have been sick as a dog since Thursday. I highly recommend not flying from Manila to Philadelphia with a 102 degree fever, surviving on Imodium. My ears are blown out, can't hear anything.   Combine the above with the fact that unbeknown to me...

I should be able to make it. Not sure if I will be there in an official capacity, or just as the head-Fier that I am.   I should have my new personal set of Abyss headphones by then, so will probably bring them.   I can do the Auction if people want to put up with my doing so :)   From...

Budget? I have about 2 weeks listening time on the Liquid Gold, mostly with the Abyss and the LCD-3's. The gold with either of those, or even the HD-800 will show every attribute of the associated equipment. I like my PWD MkII, but now I think I'd go for the Luxman DA-06 DAC. The really...

Tom is correct. The Cavalli Liquid Gold will be doing battle with the new similarly priced Luxman P700u at today's Long Island New York Meet. Source will be a PS Audio PWD II /PWT stack. Ethan

I am coming in a semi-official capacity. So if you have questions about The Cable Company's Headphone Lending Library ask away.   I am bringing the following: Sources PS Audio PWD/PWT   AMP/DAC  ADL Esprite   Apple Macbook Pro   Headphones Audeze LCD-2 Sennheiser HD-800...

As of right now I am scheduled to work on the 20th, but I am going to try and get someone to cover for me. So I should know in the next 3-4 days if I am going to make it. I hope that work doesn't interfere with my attending another NY meet. I have missed hanging out with my friends from the...

I'll be getting my LS50's tomorrow. Then for the next week playing in a closet non-stop, break-in is a bitch :)

Last year at 3 of the Audio Shows that I attended I fell in love with the KEF LS50 speakers. IMO the LS50's would be more appropriately priced at $4000-$5000 (based upon what other uber-quality bookshelf speakers are selling for) I consider the LS50 a steal at $1500/pr. Needless to say I ordered...

You guys do realize that how much an amp cost has little bearing on how powerful it might be? The LS50's are relatively inefficient. There is a reason they show them with 200 watt/ch amps at shows. That being said, if you have a small room, and you tend to listen at moderate levels you might...

I have a sub, but I'm of the belief that a subwoofers most important feature is it's OFF Switch. Typical in room response has the 50's down 3 db at about 50 hz. If I decide to use my sub I would start with a crossover at about 60 hz, 120 seems a bit high, but if it works no worries. A 120 hz...

The LS50's are amazing. I have ordered a pair (Back ordered until February sometime). The LS50's are very revealing, and require a good amp with at a minimum 50 watts/ch. If your budget is $2000 including an amp the 50's are too expensive. $1500 + at least $180 for speaker stands. I got the...

I will be attending this year :). It will be nice to see the gang. Not sure if I'll be there in my official capacity as a Cable Company Representative, or just as me ;) Pretty sure that I'll book a hotel so that I can join the post meet festivities. Whichever capacity i attend in, I am...

Hello All :)   Unless this is the same weekend as the NY Audio Show (I believe that's what happened last time) I'll be there. I'll confirm after CES. Next week is CES and I'm in full on Toy Hunting Mode    Later Ethan

  It has been a while since I've added new stuff to my system. Well in the last 4 weeks I've gone a little crazy. BOLD IS NEW (For me)   Speakers: NHT 2.9 (Siltech Internal recable G6 Silver/Gold) Amplifier: Jadis Defy 7 (Siltech Silver output wiring) Preamplifier: VAC Renaissance Mk I...

Still loving the PWD, still think it is the best digital source under north of 30k especially when sitting atop a Synergistic Reseach Tranquility Base and using a WW Platinum HDMI from the PWT. Sorry for the awful pic

sure, a $9000 polish unit with questionable distribution in the states, everyone is running out to do the comparison
