It's been a while since I've been to a meet. I'll be bringing HD600, HE400s, Schiit Asgard, Schiit Modi Multibit, and it'll be sourced with my iPad. I'll also bring an Android OTG.

I will be there, unfortunately I won't be able to bring anything with me.   If you need any help setting up let me know.

Quote:   Ah yes the good ole Fletcher-Munson curves. I can't believe I forgot that, since I always remember it when I am running music to check the auto-eq function of the drive rack.

Everybody is right that headphones can't match the punch of a pa system. Most are using multiple 18 inch subs with a ton of power behind them, and when they hit it they move a whole lot of air.   Also depending on how it is recorded (multitrack or room mics) can also make a huge difference...

Quote:   There is one thing in my little review that I should've said was I haven't critically listened to any digital in a while, so my ears are biased toward analog sound. Also my se215's are mostly used for live sound and live recording so if they are hooked up to anything digital it...

Quote: I second the thin sounding at first but it tone down quickly but still has a digital sound. I have been to listening to vinyl a lot lately so it stood out for me, I did get used to it very quickly. Nothing stands out unlike the phone it replaced (droid2). I will be picking up the...

I actually have a Saturday off, so I will be there.   I'll havewith me:   Old School Macbook (might bring my Mini instead) Behringer uca202 Schiit Asgard Sennheiser 558   Clip+ Fiio E11   I won't have all the power cables I had last time but I can still bring extras to...

Quote:   I believe you mean the Audioengine range of speakers are not this TYPE of active speaker. Since in the simplest form an active speaker is any speaker with the amplifier built in.   What you are talking about is an active crossover Bi-amp/Tri-amp system without a passive...

Quote:   good point I did not think of that I guess I will have to go buy the CD and import it in as a .wav and then redo the test to see the difference.

Quote: I agree that there are worse offenders but I just put the mp3 download from Amazon I have of "Rolling in the Deep" into Sound Forge and did a "Detect Clipping" (limit was set at 0.0 db) and it ended up finding over 5,500 clips.   Now I have been using Sound Forge for close to...

I had a blast meeting everybody yesterday.  A lot of great setups at the meet, I was pleasantly impressed with how my asgard powered the LCD3's especially with the Dac1 feeding it (the asgard).   The Hifi Man stuff was amazing that new amp with the he6 is amazing. The He400 sounded good in...

Got all my stuff packed and about to pass out. I will be there and will have plenty of power strips, power cords and extension cords.

I am going to try to be there (as long as I don't over-sleep).   If I make it I can bring extra power cords/strips and Macbook, uca202, Asgard and 558 system and portable system of an iPod Touch 1st gen/Clip+ in to an e11 amp.   Due to lack of HHD space the Macbook only has mp3's.

IMHO the Donald Trump dude is like the Rebecca Black of Hip Hop.

I got a 66 but there was some questions that could of went different ways depending on what I decided to do in the last 24 hours so i took it a second time with going the other answer that worked and got a 92. I'm 32 so a late to the party Gen Xer

Most live recordings other than major bands are done this way. Major bands have a recording truck come in and they split the mics outputs so the recording has all recording equipment in the signal chain to keep the signal clean (this is a tricky thing to do since the mics have to feed 3...

I was in Bethesda MD and on the 3rd floor I felt. The thing that got me weirded out is in my first 30 years of life I never felt an earthquake and in the last 13 months I've felt 2, both in the DC area (I lived 10 miles from the 3.8 that hit Germantown MD last year in June)   To all of you...

I allow multitracking off of the board if I know you and trust that you won't mess up my sound. The only thing is you operate your equipment I don't so I don't have to worry about anything but what the audience hears and how the system is working.   It is done 1 of 2 ways, the best way is...

Sounds to me you have the same bike fit issue I have long torso short legs. I should be riding a 60 but I have problems getting off and on. My surly crosscheck is the best fit I have found mostly because it has a low BB and a long stem (it's a 58). With mountain bikes I ride dirt jump frames...

I'm glad you all had fun maybe next time I won't have to work. Since I can learn a lot being new to head-fi and all.

I second the M50 I have a friend that uses them for editing audio to mixing metal in the studio and for monitoring front of house for rock concerts (to find feedback to making sure everything is working fine) and he really likes them, so much so he's probably going to buy another pair since he...

Quote:   That is the wrong size bike for you if you're getting the right leg extension with the seat in that position. Other than that the bike is setup real nice as a tourer/commuter. The earlier comment about tires if I was riding that bike I wouldn't go smaller than 28s since it is...

My view of the Shimano v Sram v Campy debate:   Shimano their road groups work really well shift crisply and smoothly. I also like that they went to under the tape cable routing for the shifters. Their MTB groups have come along way in the last few years ie shadow derailleurs and getting rid...
