    I've been really busy since the event, but I'll post some impressions once my week calms down a bit.

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I'm using a Woo Audio WA7 (1st generation) to power my HD 700's with the upgraded Electro-Harmonix gold-plated tubes and the solid-state power supply.  One of these days I'll need to get the tube power supply as well as get my amp retrofitted to the newer version.  That said, it's a very good...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    If you are in pro audio, you are surrounded by meters.  They're not all too useful for Hi-Fi (though they are cool), but they are definitely essential in the pro audio world.

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio presents The Source AV’s Summer Series 2016

    I probably should've asked this when I was on the phone with Wayne, but I forgot.  How is source material going to work?  Should we bring a flash drive with what we want to listen to?  Will there be any analog sources (vinyl or reel to reel tape) setup?

    Audeze LCD-X

    Yeah, the bass of the LCD-X is pretty tough to match.  It's not overpowering by any means (as in basshead headphones).  It's just able to teach very low with very tight control, resulting in very articulate and heavy-hitting, yet accurate bass.

    Audeze LCD-X

    Hmm I don't know.  I have only spent a bit of time with the Elear, but it was very clearly designed to be a warm headphone.  The LCD-X is designed to be pretty neutral.  I don't want to say that one is better than the other, but I really don't think they were designed to do the same thing.

    That's great!  I'm glad you're enjoying your speakers!

    Audioengine A5+ Review

      Eh, he probably didn't have them setup properly.  In the pictures, the speakers aren't on stands, and they are very close to his walls/windows, which is going to have a large effect since these are rear-ported.

    Awesome!  Make sure to put them on some proper stands to get the most out of them.

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I'm mainly using a Woo Audio WA7 (1st generation) for my HD 700s, and I think it's a good pairing.  It's a little on the warm side, but not too much.  I've got the upgrade Electro-Harmonix gold pin tubes for the amp, but haven't upgraded to the tube power supply yet.   As a side note, I'm not...

    New Grace Design m920 DAC/amp with DSD decoding

    The Grace remote is a beast.  It's quite heavy for it's size and the buttons have a very nice feel to them.

    Yep.  If you get a chance to go, be careful, there's a brutal dip in the parking lot by their building that's a lot worse than it looks.  I bottomed out a rental car quite badly on it lol.

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Most pro audio people don't care about specs to that degree.  They don't care about (or usually believe in) fancy cables and other "audiofool nonsense" as they would put it.  If it sounds good to their ears and translates well to other systems, they're generally happy.

    New Grace Design m920 DAC/amp with DSD decoding

    Yeah, I don't know why people were suggesting that you could use those connections for headphones.  They are line-out connections, just like the RCA outputs (except those are single-ended of course).  Why would they have headphone outputs in the back?

    New Grace Design m920 DAC/amp with DSD decoding

    I believe Here2rock was referring to the m920's headphone amp, in which case, he is correct, it is not a balanced amp.  The DAC section does have balanced TRS outputs on the back though.

    The widest soundstage that I've heard in headphones that I can remember is a pair of HD 800's powered by the work-in-progress Cavalli Liquid Tungsten.  That really was a magic pairing...

      Well, I can't argue with that :).  I live in Orange County as well.   Yeah, I heard about the closure.  Maybe they'll replace it with another venue.  We do have the Observatory in Santa Ana though, which is a fantastic venue.  LA is chalked full of cool old theaters though, not to mention...

    I'll be there!   Quote:   Pros and cons.  Orange County is easier when it comes to parking, but there's a lot more to do (and eat!) in LA.  As a bonus, since I would hope most people here are music fans, LA has one of the best music scenes in the world, Orange County on the other...

    Audioengine A5+ Review

      Yeah, that is a problem with every pair of Logitech speakers with a subwoofer that I've listened to.  There is no way that you're going to get 2 (or 5) good satellite speakers, a good subwoofer, and decent electronics for the price of a set of Logitech speakers.  They are going to have to...
