I have to go into work tomorrow so I wont be able to make it. Maybe next time!

I may potentially be able to make it to this meet, but it's unsure whether there will be other events happening on the 20th at this time. The only gear I have is a measly maverick tubemagic D1 and a stock denon d2000. It would be interesting to compare the maverick to similar dac/amps like the...

Well I received a couple LT1364's and a LM4562 in the mail today, but I'm kind of hesitant to swap them in because I'm just enjoying the maverick so much the way it is! I've put around 800+ hours on it now and the sound still seems to be changing. I recently noticed that the lower end has really...

I would just like to say that with the 25ohm denon d2k's there is no gain whatsoever.

I'm interested to hear your comparison between the D2000 and the 780's. For test music some good classics would be Prodigy, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, and you already mentioned Crystal Method so that's taken care of. You might want to check out Thievery Corporation, I like to listen...

I was just graced with the unexpected visit of the DHL man who was here to hand over my maverick! It took only 3 days for the package to make it from Shanghai to Michigan! I've spent 30 minutes listening so far and I'm definitely pleased. Stay tuned for pics and a review in a few days.
