IC: Upcoming Toronto Meet
Fixed to the April 21 as that's why I meant. Thanks for the heads up. Also, April 21 is just a date I had in mind. However whoever would like to take over can select a date of their choice.- merkil

IC: Upcoming Toronto Meet
Quote: Hey fallen, As I stated previously in this thread I had not luck finding a suitable venue that will house all these guest and asked for input. Due to stuff outside of head fi in my life at the moment I can no longer be in charge of the whole event. To be honest, it was...- merkil

= Hifiman HE500 & HE400 Jergpad Mod v2.5 =
That's what I have on my J$ pads. A very thin nylon. I like the increased micro detail but sibilance can get annoying on tracks. For electronic it's great. I kind of want something that's inbetween without choppig up the pads. More than stock Jergpads V2 but less than transparent J$ pads. I feel...- merkil

= Hifiman HE500 & HE400 Jergpad Mod v2.5 =
You are 100% correct. This was actually one of the first things I noticed when switching from the J$ to the jergpads. Treble decreases slightly taking away the sibilance, for the most part. Although I do find that there is a bit more micro detail on the J$ pads, as expected due to my transparent...- merkil

All those measurements are cool! I can't wait to see a competed jergpad V2 and a J$ comparison.- merkil

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
HK are also nice. Unfortunately where I live they don't come up to often. They are sought after units that's for sure, I think their prices are somewhat inflated right now but you definitely have more choice of units to choose from than other vintage brands. Well at least where I live, there...- merkil

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Quote: These old 70's receivers have plenty of power and usually produce more wpc then that is stated in the manufactures specs. Do some research on 70s Marantz as I think you will enjoy that sound, a lot of people do. Fully body, tube like, listenable for hours. Look for a local deal and...- merkil

Quote: What kind of sound are you after? Yamahas are known for very clean uncoloured sound (some people call them boring) while something like Marantz have a tube like sound (some people say musical)- merkil

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Quote: I know on my Vintage Yamaha CR2020 I do get background noise (a hiss) but only when I raise the volume to 8 or more but would be ear splitting levels if music was playing. I would never listen at that, Im usually at 2-3 and its quiet. It could be just the receiver noise floor...- merkil

I believe Mouser Electronics sells led lights. Go to their website, if you know which ones you need you can easily search.- merkil

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
I'm really loving this CR2020. The detail and trasparency is just amazing for when it was built and it has a lot more power. The lower end is filled out more compared to the Asgard and all the detail to my ears is still there. My friend also agreed during A/B testing. It's definitely a keeper...- merkil
