Hello All.  Just recently the 2016 Spring Edition of the Music City Meet was held.  I was finally able to attend and was quite pleased with the gear and the wonderful people who attended.  I was also quite pleased to see I wasn't the only member in attendance with a healthy growth of facial...

It was so great to finally be able to attend the meet.  Lots of great gear and even better people.  More than worth the two hour drive up from Huntsville, AL.  I finally got the chance to listen to things I'd been curious about for a while. I suppose I should give a brief account of some things...

    It was great to meet you Wayne.  I'm glad you made it home safely.  That was a lot of time on the road.  Never mind the yellow coloration of the pictures, they look pretty fantastic.  Look forward to seeing you again, later on.

    I could bring my soldering iron and gear and try to repair it if you'd like.  I'm having similar issues with the cable on my D2000's as well that need to be fixed.

Hey Everyone.  I am going to be there tomorrow.  I've finally got things settled enough that I can attend one of our meets.  I didn't get off work in time to make it up to dinner tonight. I'm close enough that I can just drive up in the morning.  I am planning to bring some of my gear that I...

Well of those options I can only speak for option 4.  I have no experience with any of the others listed.  The closest other thing I can say is that I have a Asus audio card as well (Xonar Essence STX).  The Asus card that I own is fantastic, but it was also pretty well reviewed here.  It's...

First off, welcome to the community.  May your pocketbook forgive you, lol.  If you want a straight forward answer then I will say as long as your ears are happy then you don't need to do much.  As PurpleAngel already said starting out with $1000 investment off the bat isn't really necessary...

Massdrop Username: rsgladwin85   As far as what I want to see more of.  I want more DIY gear.  Any reason to get out the soldering iron.

Hey All,   I'm sorry that I was unable to attend this past weekend. My son was with me and unfortunately he was pretty sick and it wouldn't have been a good idea to get him out.  I would however like to get together with some of you locals since I myself also now live in Nashville for a drink...

  I'm actually thinking my next amp / dac will be the HA-1, so I'd love to hear a comparison while there.  I'd also love to hear how it sounds with my K712 Pro's.

  Well I'm no master solderer.  Just a hobbyist, lol.  But feel free to observe.   He already has his own pair of headphones that I've modified for him, but this will be his first time seeing anyone other than me that's into the hobby.  I'm hoping for nice weather for hopefully a trip to...

Hello Everyone, sorry for my recent absence.  I started a new job and relocated all at once and have quite had my hands full.  I'm glad to see planning is still in full swing and going well.  I am looking forward to meeting you all next Saturday.  There are a couple of issues I have come upon...

  +1   It's been a couple years since I made my way into the store, and the selection then wasn't much to look at.  Although they did have a television which I became enamoured with, just not the $3000+ price tag.

  Good argument.  Given they were born pre-internet, you'd think that by now they'd know how to successfully operate as such.  What did they have to gain by asking him to leave?  Anyone who buys on the internet, will find other reviews of any gear he was going to view.  In essence the only...

    Not these days.  If I needed to lift to be able to pick up 66lbs. I'd feel kinda feminine though, haha.

  You should hit the gym or at least do some push-ups if you can't lift 66lbs. :P

  Actually, I'm slightly curious about the weight as well.  You're correct the site does say that it's 32lbs.  However the Manual says it weighs 30.  I'm wondering if it's 32lbs with packing material?  Not that in the grand scheme of things the extra 2 lbs makes much difference. lol

  According to the information on Schiit's website it handles the headphone amp for all intents and purposes as Class-A up until about 4W, and will handle speakers Class-A/B.    

Jason,   You have a typo on page 6 of the Ragnarok Manual.  You have the Volume listed as number 5, when it's shown as number four.

  LMAO, only you Jason.

Another subject which was mentioned in the opening post was power strips.  I'll be bringing a couple myself.  Between the two I should be able to provide about 20 plug's.  I really hope we don't overload the circuit breakers for the room, lol. 

  Oh, and congrats on your 100th post.

/\ I intend to bring crap to listen to....No really, I took some digital recordings of my toilet time and wanted to truly prove crap in = crap out, lol.   In all seriousness I'm not bringing anything "special" as far as a lot of "hi-res" downloads.  I'll be bringing mostly CD rips on a thumb...

  I agree and I'm sure I will walk away wanting to buy something new....however, IEM's isn't the area I am even remotely considering.  This isn't because I'm not looking to eventually get another IEM, however my plans in the IEM department are more along the lines of a higher end CIEM when my...

Since I went the CIEM route, and already have a standard IEM dedicated to gym time, I'm not looking for one, but I guess I could bring a pair of tips just to listen.  Although I really don't need any more purchase desires at the moment, as I already have a long list.
