    REVIEW: Astell & Kern AKR01: It's A Legal Addiction!

    Bought these on a whim actually the other day to replace my SM64s that bit the big one (unfortunate encounter with my washing machine).  They're easily my favorite universals I've heard at this price point, maybe even better than my first customs (LiveWires TRIPS).  They really do sound...

    Detroit - Ann Arbor meet. Let's make it happen... Again!

    I'd love to come if I can make the date - I'm in town for the 7th and for the 14th, but I'm leaving the 16th back for Brooklyn.  Could bring LCD-2s, K1000s, some cool cablestuffs and maybe even a super-secret prototype amp I'm working on :)

    NEW information on JH-3a

    Quote: My understanding is that the 90 degree connectors won't actually fit in the inputs comfortably without impeding controls/other inputs, which is why we don't use them.  I may just send one to Warp to see, and if they work, we'll absolutely offer the 3A cable with them.  Certainly...

    Attention Chicago/Detroit/Grand Rapids/Northern Indiana Head-fiers

    Jim and I might be able to make it, but we're driving into Michigan on the 19th, so it could be a little tight.  If we do manage to make it, I'll probably have:   Black Lion mod RME UFX dac. DACS Headlite2 HPA. Bass Heavy AKG K1000 (early S/N) Recabled Sony SA-5K (BlackFrost balanced)...

    How much difference does a portable amp make?

    I'm not sure which generation of iPod your 80 gig is, but if it's a 5.5g video or earlier, you may actually want to keep it if you're primarily concerned with the sound quality.  Starting with the iPod classic, Apple switched to Cirrus Logic for their internal converters, and the general...

    Reply to review by 'dev avidon' on item 'Apple iPod Earphones Headphones for iPod Nano, Touch & Classic'

    "A wise man will spend neither too much nor too little." There are many things you could offer to give me for free that I would respectfully decline, these being one of them. There is, no doubt, a value to them as many who don't care about the quality of the sound they listen to are perfectly...

    Brooklyn Meet Impressions July 30, 2011

    The lovely missus (who's name is actually spelled Dru, believe it or not), is going to be making a head-fi account and posting some pics today, but I figured having had a little time to recover and digest, I might just share a few of my thoughts beyond simply feeling ecstatic that everyone...

    Quote: I'm really sorry to hear that - that's incredibly disappointing...  I love my neighborhood, and I've never had any problems like that before, so needless to say that's heartbreaking to hear.  If there's anything I can do to rectify things for you, please let me know!   On a...

    Brooklyn Meet Impressions (July 30th)

    Figured I'd get this rolling for pics and what have you.  I'm exhausted, so I'll be posting more tomorrow, but I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and making this such an awesome meet.  Great gear and great company (and great food, if I do say so on behalf of my phenomenal wife). ...

    So today's the day!  Don't forget to PM me if you still need the address for whatever reason, and just ring up on the buzzer downstairs, and I'll come down to let you in and help you bring up anything you have.    This should be a blast - can't wait to meet you all!

    Brooklyn Meet

    Ok folk, with Saturday nearly upon us, just wanted to let people know that, as there have been a couple of drop-outs, if you checked this thread, wanted to come, but saw the cap, odds are pretty good there will be space, so by all means come on down!  Don't forget to e-mail for address -...

    Going to open up shop at 10, but you can drop in any time you like (though we're probably going to start wrapping up around 5:30 or so).  Still trying to work out doing the free show, but it would be 6-7 if it does happen.

    Proteus Cable, fake warning

    Quote: As I'm an MOT, I don't get involved with this sort of thing usually, but just to throw it out there, as a point of reference, any well designed 75 ohm digital coax cable (basic RG-59/RG-6 stuff that you can buy in bulk from a hardware store) should sport a capacitance number...

    Attention Chicago/Detroit/Grand Rapids/Northern Indiana Head-fiers

    20th or the 27th I could do, but the 13th is a no go for me.  27th would definitely be the preferable of the two, but I might be able to make it out to the mitten early.

    Brooklyn Meet

    Definitely, if you want to bring a folding chair or two, or a small folding table, that would probably help, but we should be able to work things out.  My dining table has a leaf in it, so I can expand that to fit about 8 people, my wife's workstation should fit another 4 rigs, my workstation...

    Brooklyn Meet

    Ok, I think we're more or less at capacity at this point, so I'm locking the invites.  If you've posted before this in the thread, come on down!  Things may get a little cozy, but we should be fine.  There may not be enough available chairs/benches/couches for everyone to be sitting at a given...

    LOL Jim (the big dog) is not actually my dad, just my business partner.  Close friend of my father-in-law (God rest him), which is how we met and got to starting our little venture together.  My Dad is a lawyer   The SR-009/A-10 combo was just like that...you really had to hear it to...

    Ok, so far here's our guest list - 4 spots left!.  We may be having a very special guest join us - the venerable Patrick Derivaz (engineer for, among others, John Scofield, Phillip Glass, Charles Mingus, A Tribe Called Quest and Will.I.Am).   jp11801 nikongod bozebuttons...

    Brooklyn Meet

    Ok, so based on the posts I've seen so far, the 30th it is!  My brother may be out of town, so show may be a no-go depending on his schedule, (or I may see if a good friend of mine who knows my material well wants to come perform with me), but the meet shall go on!  So just a quick summary:  ...

    Quote: Man...that'll be a killer show.  Paul Motian is ridiculous.  I'll check the sets at the Standard and Iridium and such as well - I'm definitely a Jazz guy, so that's what I know.  Theoretically, my brother and I could put on a free show up on the roof if people would be...

    So I completely messed up the no-go date - 13th is actually off, but the 6th would be good.  Let me know if that's workable.  Sorry!
