What tips has everyone been using with their Monarchs? Need to start a collection

What are the chances I could pick up a Chord Mojo somewhere this week at a discounted price? I haven't been following sales lately.

  Sure,   From what I listened to, both the Piano Forte line and the Lab 2s really shined in that they were able to replicate instruments in a natural sounding way that very few headphones and IEMs are able to due to the fact they they are an in-ear speaker style earphone rather than a...

Briefly,   The best things: Orpheus HE 1 - Not very often you can hear so many specific nuances related to saliva in vocalist's mouths when they speak with headphones. Is that a good thing? Maybe these are TOO good, if that's a possibility. They also had the finest soundstage i've ever heard...

Being a rather new and inexperienced member of the community, most of these gatherings are a bit overwhelming for me. This was not the case with the 2nd coming of the Schiit Show, possibly to become an annual event to look forward to every year. The snacks were plentiful and tasty, the...

Nothing short of Alien technology could justify even half that price. I saw the announcement in my emails from Sennheiser and predicted 15-20k usd, which is still ludicrous, but a fair prediction based on the brand and the original HE-90s. 

Gonna try to stop by around 2 or 3! 

It was a nice little event. I don't have much to say, I hung around all day and enjoyed the food and ocean breeze. Eventually I got into the show room, after much waiting around, with the goal of trying out the Ethers with the Ygg Rag combo. It was definitely worth the wait, easily one of my...

Not sure which sub-forum this fits in the best. I was given some stereo stuff many years ago by my grandmother that belonged to my grandfather, but I didn't really have any room for it at the time so I left it where it was. Just got back to it today, and it seems like a nice vintage stack...

I apparently won a pair of Oppo PM-2s, and was emailed directly by Oppo about an hour ago. So, it seems like it's up to whoever offered the prize to email the winners and get their info.    I haven't had a chance to experiment with new phones in a while, so this will be excellent! 

I got a sweet poster from schiit at Can Jam.  

I didn't get to spend nearly as much time there as I wanted to (had from about 1:00 till 4:30 on sat only), but I saw some really impressive things. Got to hear the ygg rag combo and pretty much solidified my decision to buy a ygg to go with my rag, although I probably won't be able to afford it...

  It'll be at least a little longer until I can make use of the balanced headphone output, so i'll experiment a little until then. If anything, it's like listening to the LCD-2s with slightly more bass and a slightly wider sound stage so far. I'm sure there are some drawbacks, but I haven't...

I got my Ragnarok yesterday, and I am very pleased. Question for the house though, is it common practice to 'double up' with headphones and loudspeakers and the same time? The Ragnarok is really the first time i've tried to do this with my current setup, which is LCD-2s and Zu Audio Essence...

Ragnarok in! Things I need:   - New desk - Yggdrasil    

I have a Ragnarok on the way, which means it's time to test the waters re: unbalanced vs balanced with my LCD-2s. I'm not really looking to buy the best high-end cable I can for this, so I was considering just picking up the stock balanced cable offered from Audeze...

Oo, sounds good. I will definitely make time to be there! I had a lot of fun at the SoCal meet a couple of months ago.

Any updates on Rag production? I got my order in early afternoon PST the day they went on sale, and still no shipment. You guys must be putting together a number of these that can be counted on one hand daily (which is less than the low double digits estimate) or hit some major snag for it to...

I am also in the 20680's, and no ship notice. Maybe on Monday! 

You probably didn't win.    Take that piece of humbling information and go on with your life, then check back in this thread in a few days. Maybe you'll feel less antsy. 

Apex "Orichalcum"   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orichalcum   A mythological mineral of absolute sublime properties, dating back to the story of Atlantis and permeating all forms of popular culture in modern times. 

Jason, do you expect the orders to close on this very quickly? I would like to place an order, but i'm not sure that I would be able to until tomorrow. I'm worried that too many orders will be placed before then and I will miss out on the first run. 

Not accepted. In a weird twist, the Peachtree amp I normally use for my speakers died last night apparently, and I need a replacement asap. Bad luck :(   Eagerly awaiting impressions from those who did get accepted, as it seems 95% certain now that i'll need to get a Ragnarok as soon as they...

Hope I get picked! I feel a little skeptical because I only listed my main gear on the app, and none of the other headphones and loudspeakers I could potentially test out, but fingers are crossed!

Glad to see this thread, I was just thinking about how I intend to integrate the Ragnarok into my desktop system - which runs both headphones and high-end bookshelf speakers, as my next big purchase earlier today, so I am excited to sign up.
