    New Head-Fi Update

    A few complaints about the new editor... It's missing a proper "edit source" to use html for complex formatting. BBCode is weaksauce. The textarea isn't freely resizable and its auto-resize seems flaky.

    AXPONA 2017 Impressions Thread

      I beieve the amp the Janszen rep was using was a microZOTL.  The Janszen prototypes aren't traditional 'stats.  They're a two way design with a dynamic woofer.  The 'stat tweeter has a battery powered bias supply and seems to be efficient enough to run from a normal headamp since it's just...

    Listening impressions continued...   Pioneer SE Monitor:   Prototype of Pioneer's upcoming high-end sealed full size headphone.   Has useful isolation and I don't hear any of the usual resonances or reflections most closed headphones.  Soundstage is large for a closed headphone with good...

    Chicago area Headphone Meet - Feb 6th 2016 - ChiUniFi

      Those combo jacks are more commonly used as inputs.  My Scarlett 2i2, which I primarily use just as a DAC and occasionally  for measuring headphone mods, has 2 such combo jacks which can accept microphone, line level and instrument inputs.   Are the TRS jacks on the Wells for single ended...

      I'd rather the game devs did instead.  I don't care if the hardware manufacturers do or not.  It's completely irrelevant to me, as a player.  It's just something people accept with consoles because they grew up with it.  What kind of schiit storm would there be if this happened out of the...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

      The Groove's current drive is going to add some extra bass to both of those Senns which you may or may not like.  OTOH, at the price of that bundle you could always sell the Grove if you don't like and not loose any money on the deal.

    Stax SR-009: Best Headphone Ever Made? - Head-Fi TV, Episode 008

      You will need speaker amp between the Phonitor 2 and the Woo WEE.   The Woo WEE is an just an adapter that goes between a speaker amp and a Stax electrostatic headphone.  The Woo WEE is not an amplifier itself.  The Phonitor 2 will not be strong enough to power the Woo WEE.by itself either...

      Damn "console" exclusives.   I'm still waiting for them to die or go back to actually being consoles instead of low end PCs.

      It means that it's crossfeed processing is good for 'stats too, not that the amp can actually drive them.  You need to run it's line outs into an actual electrostatic amplifier, or into a speaker amp and then into a step up transformer like the Woo WEE.

      I don't have any formal training in engineering or science.  I work in IT/tech support.  I'm pretty much all self taught and a "jack of all trades, master of none" type.  I'm a skeptic, maybe even with a capital "S", as that would appear to be the best way to achieve a proper understanding of...
