Holy thread necromancy, Batman! Had you waited until next week if could have been a full 5 years on ice. :P That said, I have recently acquired a JDS Labs Element II that has proven to be a wonderful match for my Fostex TR-X00. I haven't tried it with my Denon AH-D2000, but of course would...

Did you have your 10x5 retipped? The person that bought my old 10x5 after I bent the cantilever had it rebuilt with a line contact stylus and boron cantilever (http://www.phonocartridgeretipping.com/) and was very happy with the results. I've long been curious what a rebodied Denon DL-103 with a...

Damn... Impressive! My own continually upgraded but far more modest and patchwork rig:

I just discovered today (after being away from Head-Fi for a while) that there was a Rockbox port for the DX90. I guess Rockbox still hasn't developed support for output greater than 16/44? That's unfortunate. One thing that folks seem to be unaware of is that Rockbox will play 32-bit WavPack...

Yeah, those would be interesting, especially if you have Toslink, electrical SPDIF, or mini USB (not micro) cables that could be fed into the iBasso D14. Being able to compare the devices' own analog outputs as well as how they feed an external DAC is an interesting comparison, and especially...

OK, question: Assuming that there is another one of these meets in this area, does anyone have any portable hi-res DAPs that could be demoed? I'm somewhat aggravated by the fact that my MacBook Pro feeding 32-bit, 192kHz audio to my DAC/amp sounds WORSE than my lowly iRiver H120 outputting only...

Oh yeah, that style of wall rack will likely benefit a lot from some further careful isolation (those metal brackets probably ring like a bell). Some regular Herbie's grungebuster washers between the bracket and wall where the bolts go into the wall MIGHT be enough to do the trick. Otherwise...

Cool setup! If you ever have to rearrange the turntable setup, I would strongly recommend ditching the cork & rubber feet in favor of something like Herbie's Tenderfeet. I had a Mapleshade platform briefly on feet like that, and not only did they stain the hell out of the maple, but the also...

Nope, just use it for edits. I record with Adobe Audition.

Yeah, I was surprised by how good the Babyface Pro really was. It took a few minutes to get used to the different sonic characteristics, but it's been quite pleasing, both for headphone listening, and vinyl to digital archival. It's a pity I didn't have it yet for the last local meet. Next time!

God, I love the Prime Sig. Gorgeous. My own setup is more humble and far more piecemeal (Scout Jr, damped motor pod, Michell clamp, Achromat, Audiomods Classic tonearm, Phoenix Engineering Falcon motor controller, DIY tachometer). I also recently added a new component for my analog-to-digital...

Happy to help! Thanks to Lee for hosting (and feeding us), and to everyone else for bringing some fascinating gear!

Yep, I have an iRiver H120 and toslink cable.

Of course I'm in! *IF* there is any interest, I can bring in my iBasso D14 and modded Denon AH-D2000. As previously, I'd mostly be there to just help out.

  I even feel a little bad not bringing my gear to the last meet, but my puny setup would be more useful at a smaller meet. And I'd be curious to try the pad swapping between my Denons and the different Fostex TH-X00 cans. It'd be easier to spot differences without all the extra noise of so...
