I'd be keen to attend, if I can get a leave pass from home (2 small kids)! I have:   Senn HD 650s; Grado RS-1; Imod: and RSA Protector.   Circular Quay sounds great to me.

AC-DC - Back in Black.  The drums in particular are just lovely. Nevermore - DHIADW Aimee Mann - Bachelor No 2 Kind of Blue

Just got my Silver Dragon connector for my HD650 Silver Dragon cable to my Protector. Was a pleasure dealing with Drew, and the cable looks and sounds fabulous. Its quite an awesome setup!

Anyone compared it with the CD version? Very exciting to see material like this coming out in hi res. Think I'm going to have to get this one, HDTracks is getting a good flow of money from me nowadays...

Yes, thanks very much for this - exciting times indeed! Downloading the 24/96 flac files now. A bit OT, but I downloaded the 16/44 files of Sad Wings of Destiny by Judas Priest from HDtracks the other day to replace my original cassette copy (!). Had a blast listening to it again in AIFF...

Todd, thanks and keep up the good work. I was up at 4am here in Australia to try my luck, missed out, but nevertheless was just thankful for the opportunity.

One white Protector for me. And 2 connectors. A random SN for me, pls. Thanks.

Payment sent!

Just on the portability of the HD650s. I only use mine at home. But I have a small place, my hi-fi is in one room and often I want to listen in another room for various reasons. In that case I need a portable amp for my HD650s (no space for a second or third home amp).

Low with my ER4P and Hi with my HD650s.

Thanks very much for the podcast - really enjoyable!

I started thinking of the Darkvoice just because I had read some good reviews and thought the price was pretty affordable. But then I wanted to make sure it would be clearly a step up on the Hornet (albeit a different sound). But then I wondered whether I would wish that I had gotten something...

I have a Hornet for my portable rig (which I love) but am now looking to build a home rig for my HD650s. Something that would be a clear step up from the Hornet - perhaps in the US$600 range although I am reasonably flexible on this. I first had my eye on the Darkvoice 332 which seemed to be...

The way I think of it, this is just part and parcel of who Dr Xin is. Not right or wrong, just is. No doubt he could make more money if he did things differently, but its pretty clear that this isn't what motivates him. And probably just about everyone who buys an amp from him knows the...

I'm sure I read somewhere where Xin said he was charging more for sooner delivery because he was so busy he didn't want to sell too many immediately but if someone was really keen then he wouldn't want to deny them - so a rationing device till he gets the backlog more manageable.

Nicely done - much easier to get around than the old site.

Got my 5.5G iMod and Super Cotton Dock yesterday and I have been blown away by how great it sounds with my Tomahawk and HD650s. Initially I was a little disappointed with the HD650s but they all sound fabulous together.

The new site looks great. By the way, just got the 5.5G iMod and Super Cotton Dock you sent (super fast delivery to Australia!) and so far I'm blown away. Just sounds fabulous with my HD650s and Tomahawk. Thanks!

Very interesting to see the change from burn-in. Thanks. Might be interesting to see how they look after another couple of 100 hours - presumably it would show the Move doesn't need to be burnt in for much more than 100 hours?!
