Just wanted to chime in.    Fantastic review!   I own TWO of these with TWO of the optional subwoofers. The RIVA Turbo X completely kills them. This has to be the best sounding portable speaker I have ever heard and I have heard a ton as my father owns about 20 of them....well...used to...he...

Damn. I'd love to go but this is short notice. I barely log on here anymore.   If you end up pushing it, let me know and I'll be happy to go.   - L

  That's because it's louder and slightly compressed. 

  This to me, was the best surprise of Day 1 at CanJam 2015.   There are times when something totally unexpected blows you away. The Riva Turbo X is such a product. I definitely need to spend some quality time with it but initial impressions are simply that this little speaker ROCKS! I own a...

My condolences to the family.   I'm sure many in this community will forever be grateful that he created the HP1000's, some of the best headphones that are still around.   May he rest in peace.

  The Come Fly With Me on HDTracks is the mono version of the album. It's probably the best digital release thus far but it's far from properly remastered. It sounds like a slightly tweaked version of the master that's missing the warmth and life-like nature that I have become accustomed to in...

You have two options for finding the best LZ albums out there...   1) The original CD releases 2) The original LP releases   It's really a matter of picking your poison as they both suffer from separate issues.    1) The original CD releases are taken from safety tapes.   2) The...

Easy...you're the only one I told I had 6 sets at the time and you're the only who didn't make an immediate payment.    As I said previously, I'm sorry you feel that way, but I did email you and simply assumed you no longer wanted them. I'm not an aggressive salesman, so I took your silence as...

Terribly sorry you feel that way. I really do strive to do my best at communicating with everyone, whether it's a question about headphones or not.    I was unable to respond to your post on the other thread. That said, I did email you for payment (5 days after the previous one) and didn't...

Yes, it's disgusting. Mastering and careful restoration can fix it though. I have a full non-distorted version of the album. 

  Very cool! Make sure you stop by and say hello! :-)

Sure. Many reviewers have already said it. It's an isodynamic driver.

  I'm always around. I just tend not to post unless I'm asked a direct question.   Yes, I'm busy with school and some other things soon to be announced....   That said, I am ALWAYS available for anyone interested in talking about headphones, amps, dacs, etc. I love to talk shop and ALWAYS...

Has anyone found a battery that's compatible with the 5G 30GB that will double the play time?

Thanks dude!

The real problem with using a headphone only technology is that the artists must actually be good. Little or no over-dubbing and you can really edit between takes because it's very hard to match the ambiance of take to take. So, essentially, the song has to be perfectly performed, in one full...

LOL!   You guys definitely crack me up at times. I do appreciate your kindness! :-)

  This mainly has to do with mastering styles. This goes to show how much a mastering engineer can actually influence the final presentation of a recording. How can we really know what's on those master tapes? Are our formats really true to the source? I've often been surprised - and not in a...

Stadium Arcadium is indeed a very well recorded album in terms of modern recording techniques. However, to really appreciate it, you must hear the vinyl version. The CD really suffers from the loudness wars and is compressed to elephant poop levels. Not good.

Completely second these!   The Mehta/LAPO is my go-to for this particular work.

Funny...I see a difference.

Yes, you are.     Thank you ToddTheMetalGod! I appreciate the compliment. I'm quite proud of the way these are turning out. Lots of love and dedication go a long way.  My favorite are the Solemn Blue, Driftwood and Hemo sets as the pictures really don't do them justice. They are extremely...

Hey guys!   Just wanted to update you all as a whole rather than send out individual emails...   Work is progressing well...extremely well.    The majority of those of you who paid, should be receiving your Enigmas in about two weeks, maybe less. Those of you inquiring about the special...

  The problem seems to be with the sliders not holding their position after they are taken off. I never found this to be a problem personally since I almost always re-adjust my headphone before, during, and after use - ever since day 1 of this hobby. That said, I know a few of you guys don't...

Wow...   These CIEM designs are some of the coolest and most innovative designs I have seen yet! Very cool!!
