so ya... I finally attended a meet on the east coast. fun times.

hop around pages until you end up on one without it. only took me about four or five clicks. (and just in case anyone's wondering, I replied to cantsleep's thread, but I believe there's an issue with people not getting their posts timestamped in absolute time but with several different...

so Todd said order numbers 420 to 440 were the lucky fellows (someone cancelled apparently). I got these ones from the recent HF1 sales thread. 420 - 421 - Phoebus06 422 - utarch00 423 - 424 - k9monami 425 - skyline889 426 - CookieFactory 427 - 428 - 429 - fikete 430 - yellafella321...

well, I actually got it a week or two ago, but haven't had the chance to post about it until now. the build quality is very nice, with the panels being 2mm for the sides and top, and the front panel's 5mm thick. I've seen much much thinner material used in more expensive products, and it's...

I was futzing around the other day with my balanced headphone rig when I decided that a superb interconnect was what’s holding back my otherwise remarkable system. Around the same time, I happened upon a Mall-Fi ad where some bloke was mentioning some newfangled interconnects with an offer to...

don't think I've seen these posted yet.... the product page shows a date of Dec 9th. the SRS-2050A product page: http://www.stax.co.jp/JP/SRS2050A.html I like the looks of the new SRM-252A driver unit that replaces the SRM-212 model. must be the shiny metal faceplate. otherwise the...

since there aren't enough W5000 threads around, I've made yet another. I'll be posting links from various blogs and whatnot from Japan to get other opinions on them... at least I hope I can do that since so far information about them seems to be pretty minimal, although there are some here and...

just saw this. http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/do...1/kenwood2.htm looks like Ety's, but it seems a bit different from the ER6 or ER6i from the specs.

so I got this cardboard box in the mail today. why, look at that, another box. (this one seems nicer than the outer one. ) what could be inside such a box? wait a minute, I didn't know PS1's came in wooden boxes? all recabled too. hey, give the box back to the RS1. now...

.... original box. http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n24184236 what I don't get is that although the pictures and the description clearly states it is a like-new original box the high bid is at 10,500 yen.

http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/prod...p/ath-cm4.html goes on sale September 22 in Japan. Y-split cable, volume control on the cord, aluminum alloy housing. looks a lot like several other earbuds I saw in stores while I was in Japan....

pile of woodies: add a couple more: my newest AT headphone: (came with black, orange, blue, and pink pads. thought Pinkie would appreciate the selection for this picture. released July 22, 2005.) experimental setup: just the headphone: even with something like that, I...

a bit past 11:30PM here, and I believe there's going to be a huge meet at the Radisson Hotel San Jose Airport starting in around two hours. as you can see, I'm somewhat in the wrong location to attend this meet (though usually living only a few hours away from San Jose) so I plan on doing...

another one of those rare threads started by me. since I figure there's at least a few people drooling over the new JVC headphones that at the moment are only available in Japan, I figured that I should enhance the drooling experience by providing a few stills. first off, this is what you...

a few hours ago we wrapped up a small meet at my home. NeilPeart and Scrith came up here from San Jose & Redwood City to do a few comparisons, mainly of balanced amplifiers. they arrived around 8PM and the meet basically went nonstop until ater 3AM, with only a short break where we went out for...

It's finally here!! my SinglePower amplifier. well, I thought I would start it off by showing Evoz's MPX3 that I've been borrowing for a few weeks. so anyways, if you haven't guessed already, that isn't what the FedEx truck brought me earlier this week. no, they brought...

wow, 8,225 posts. you now tie with KR... for having the most posts at this site. here's to another 8,225.

I got some of the new Neutrik plugs. they look pretty nice and I like the look of this much better than the older NP3C-B model. the funny thing is... I actually ordered the NP3C-B almost two months ago in January, but since it has been backordered for the whole time and I supposedly canceled...

Accuphase DP-85 and Exemplar Audio modified Denon 2900 Comparative Review I originally wrote this during the latter part of November, 2004 but never got around to proofreading and revising it after producing my initial draft. It would have been better if I posted this soon after that, rather...

so we had a meet. at my apartment. (for the third weekend in a row.) the people present were zbuddah, Scrith, utep10, NeilPeart, and ayt999 of course. a great bunch of people. (IMO) only problem was most of the gear present was mine so I didn't get to listen to too many new equipment...

so if someone ships something (let's assume it is a headphone) from a post office in japan to somewhere in the US, does it usually incur import duties / taxes? what usually happens in the shipping process with shipments (from AudioCubes for example) that cost a few hundred (or few thousand)...

I was browsing through the "Headphone Gallery & Archive" website and noticed something very familiar. the last picture on this page: http://www.warzone.org/headphones/display.php?id=163 looks suprisingly similar to a picture in my photo storage doesn't it...

got it in the mail earlier today. I'm stoked.
