Focal Utopia General Discussion
I have a question about warranty. I am in Canada and I bought a open box Utopia from headphones.com. However, they screwed up and sent me a new box pair instead. The new pair arrived DOA and had to be warranted immediately. I mailed the Utopias to Focal Naim in Quebec and a month later they...- RobinK

I can't reach Headphones.com, help?
I emailed them twice about making a pruchase by bitcoin but never got a response after weeks. Not so sure if I want to purchase from them now. Has anyone ever bought from them with bitcoin before?- RobinK

New Posts Toronto GTA Meet January 2017 with Cayin! Impressions,Reviews and Pics!
Great meet. The only way I could see it going any better is if the room was bigger but there is nothing anyone could do about that. Just to clarify, the headphone amp was NFB-28, not NFB-27 as I originally mentioned at the meet (The 27 is actually the bigger one). Audio-gd's naming scheme is... -
Toronto GTA Meet January 2017 with Cayin!
I'm in. I'll bring my LCD-XC again but I don't think I'll bring my equipment unless someone wants to give me a lift from Scarborough. It's too much to lug on the TTC.- RobinK

GTA Spring 2016 meet
I can't do 28th because that is Anime North. I would rather do this in June, personally. But I don't everyone is going to want to reschedule so close to the date.- RobinK

GTA Spring 2016 meet
Made a mistake. Anime north is the week after. I might be coming to this one after all but 100% sure yet as there is another event that week I might be attending.- RobinK

Can't make it that weekend since I will be at Anime North. But I'll see you guys at the next one. Perhaps someone can message me when the date is set since I don't check these forums often.- RobinK

GTA meet 1/30/16
Had fun meeting and chatting with people at the meet. Looking forward to the next one. I forgot to give the stax a listen, so I hope they return. Also looking forward to trying the HE-1000 on my big DAC if they also make return at the next meet. It was unfortunate I couldn't run the big DAC...- RobinK

Sorry, that was a typo. It's the NFB-28, not 27. I may bring my REF1 with me if I can find a way to pack it together safely.- RobinK

AUDEZE LCD XC
Actually, I just had to warranty my XC due to one driver randomly failing me two months ago. Just woke up and the left piece had no sound. Warranty process was fast at Bay Bloor Radio though. They got two new drivers and replaced them for me in a few days.- RobinK

Ortofon e-Q8 Impressions Thread (new 2014 successor of the e-Q7 / e-Q5)
So my E-Q5 cable has failed for the last time. I am tired of fixing it and want a new IEM. I really love the e-q5, especially how easy it is to drive off any device. But I need something with a more relieable cable. Looking at the pictures, the e-Q8 cable doesn't look any better. Has anyone had...- RobinK

AUDEZE LCD XC
I picked the leather only because I didn't want to wait for the store to order in the vegan pad version. That was a mistake. I am not all that pleased with the leather. It is uneven on the sides giving a lower quality appearance. An I feel like the comfort would be higher with a less crushable...- RobinK

AUDEZE LCD XC
Been listening to my LCD-XC for about a month now in a quiet environment. You do not want to use these in an office environment. They will be heard. In noisier environments, they are effectively inaudible at conferrable listening levels. When I was testing them in the store, I could not hear...- RobinK

Audio-gd NFB-28
I have the REF1 right next to my NFB-28. Using the REF1 via XLR into the NFB-28, it sounds far superior to the built in DAC. I was surprised, really. I mean, I understand it is not a fair comparison by any means. The REF1 is in a completely different class of DAC. But the benefit is so...- RobinK

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the NFB-28 with and without TCXO upgrade side by side? I have the NFB-28 without TCXO (Not my intention. I would have ordered it but I was not aware of such an option when I purchased it). After spending a month listen to my LCD-XC with it and I am come...- RobinK

AUDEZE LCD XC
So I spent about 3 hours auditioning the 3 headphones. I am pleased to say I pretty much fell in love with the LCD-XC. I like their sound better than the HD800 and the seal was excellent. I tested with an employee at max level he could barely hear anything and same for me. I am going to order a...- RobinK

AUDEZE LCD XC
Can someone give me a break down of how they feel the LCD-XC compares to the LCD-3 and the HD800? I am looking at buying headphones mostly for my desktop. It will be paired with a high end dac/amp unit from audio-gd (Haven't decided which model yet). I am considering the HD800, LCD3 and LCD-XC...- RobinK
