It might be where the USB is plugged in, I know that on my laptop I don't have that problem, but on my desktop i have the same issue. That or it might be also where the amp is plugged in, I'm thinking of picking up some ferrite beads/core to see if they work like some have said in the thread.

Unamped =P

Picked up the mini Schiit stack earlier. Immediate impression is that it made the Mad Dogs have less congested sound to it and actually made it a usable phone for me.

Picked up my pair earlier, currently burning them in. They started to lose the congested sound it had at 0 hour. Can't give a solid feedback due to not having an amp to properly power this.

Monday needs to get here faster so I can pick up my pair.

Yup, I didn't know that there was a paradox in the meet, made me sad missing out on comparing that with the mad dog.

Haha heck yeah, driving back to SD sucked due to all the Taiko Drum Master I played. It seems like the Mad Dog suits my taste a lot, although I wish I can hear it unamped. The HE-4 through the Lyr/frost were also really good

We did go to Round 1 after the meet!

I think my friend's reaction is summarizes most people's reactions to the piggyback system    Will give my impressions tomorrow once rested, the rest of the pictures are in FB (I'm going to apologize right now for the fact that I take nonsensical photos of things and people, also noticed I...

I just found out about this right now and scrambling to find some money to go, might be bringing a guest or two.

It's been a while since I've actually listened to the 202+ExStata rig and once again it completely blew me away; the speed, clarity, and how natural the sound flows out the 202 is plain breathtaking. The HD650+Millet SS has nothing on the stax other than bass impact and comfort (those pleather...

If I were you, I'd just order a BHSE now. Apparently the batch of 45 BHSEs will be done faster, though I'm doubtful. Also I'm guessing that no one but Justin knows if there are going to be any more batches of the BHSE being built after these 45 so there's that to consider. For the T2DIY it can't...

I'm two weeks away from putting a downpayment for the BHSE yet all I can think of is trying out a lyr with the senn 650s and akg 701...I have a problem... Please talk me out of spending my money on non-stax gear, two more weeks!

Yeah, but like I said my source ain't that great, and the listening condition was even worse. Honestly I doubt I've even heard half of what my rig can fully do. It sucks living in a house that is constantly noisy. I'll try comparing them again somewhere without a fish tank.

Check if you're able to try a pair of senns hd25-1 mk2 (I'm not recommending to buy them, but if you know someone or a store to test them out, might be worth giving it a listen or two). to my ears the senns got pretty close to my 202+ExStata. Only thing is that due to my source, and my...
