I am interested if the meeting place is accessible via public transportation

Extravagant purchases are only okay when they are for her.

extravagant purchases - two words - "engagement ring" . . it is an orpheus that lives on her hand.

Quote: Originally posted by kelly *boggle* Send your Corda back to Jan. It's defective. (I own both amps.) [edit:] It could be that there was a difference in bass response between the person demo'ing the McCormack's source and cables and your own if you didn't do a direct AB...

Tuberoller - I checked out your pictures - very nice - it seems that we visited many of the same places!

Jude - Yesterday I auditioned the McCormack headphone unit at the Music Direct Booth, they also have Ety's there - also, there is a booth in that area that has an Earmax, but at the time had no headphones to play with it - just FYI. It's too bad I didn't know you were going to attend the show...

I'll be there on Thursday afternoon - I'm thinking of wearing either a propellor hat or a viking helmet. Most likely I'll be the one with a notepad listening and scribbling. Session -- anyone else going Thursday?

Session76, which theatre in NYC has the digital projector? Is it the Sony near Lincoln center? I definitely want to see it presented digitally the first time.

Tangent is right, the most difficult part is sorting out the components. The instructions could be presented more clearly, but generally contain everything you need to know. The Corda was my first DIY electronic kit, and I'm glad I did it.

This weekend I visited the Red Rose Store on 74th and Madison in Manhattan and saw their studio / showroom as well as their DSD hardware. Mark Levinson was not in the store that day, which was really unfortunate as I was looking forward to meeting him. The salespeople I met were wonderful and...

Like Jon said, check out www.audioasylum.com and do a search for a thread written by attendies of the West Chester audio society. They compare a modded 9000ES with an unmodded 333 as well as a few others. While in that meeting they didn't directly compare a modded and unmodded 9000, they do seem...

While standing in line to get an egg sandwich this morning, I leaned over the shoulder of the person ahead in line (yes, I am that guy sometimes) and spotted a review of portable headphones with photo's, tables of info, prices etc. I only got a few quick glances, but all the phones reviewed...

I've heard that Sony Music is working on remastering at least 60 SACD titles - I eagerly anticipate Fiona Apple's "Tidal" I've received so much pleasure from the few SACD's I own, that it has made my purchase worth it. The incredible attacks, the harmonics, and the dead silence all contribute.

aeberbach, Your KID A + K1000 comment really made me want to get a pair of the K1000's. I live in NYC also, if there is anything I have that you would be vaguely interested in listening to (S9000ES SACD, or Corda) I'd be willing to supply it in return for a listen.
