Has anyone compared the U24 and the Transit on a reclocking DAC? Reclocking DACs are said to be source-independent, but I have read otherwise. I have used only the Transit with my DAC, so I want to see what others may say here. I have a Muslical Fidelity TriVista 21, and it reclocks. I do like...

I listen out of necessity. I MUST not hear my co-worker's chatter! See, I first got V6s 12 years ago in the Navy since I couldn't have speakers. I noticed they sounded better than any speakers I'd heard up to that point, and I begun to prefer headphones, but because of situational...

It is quiet in general. Unfortunately I don't have a second DAC on hand, and I don't have a second card. The only USB one worth it is the Transit, I think. When I put latency to very high I heard no clicks and no buzz, but because I don't know what combination of events triggers it within...

I have a big problem with some piece of my setup. Currently I have a Laptop > M-Audio Transit > Glass toslink > TriVista 21 DAC. Problem: I sometimes get a loud electronic buzz. I am playing music through the computer I am doing work on, but I still wouldn't expect this. I have had my...

Uh-oh! Them's fightin' words! I hope you get the best tubes to compliment your MDR-023. Quote: Originally Posted by ayt999 wait until you guys see the SDS I'll have in a while. now that will definitely be something. it supposedly will be better than tom hankin's balanced SDS.

Wow... I see mu-ziq (µ-ziq) mentioned only once. I don't have that many purely electronic albums, but considering those and albums that are chiefly electronic: Mu-ziq: Tango n Vectif Mu-Ziq: Lunatic Harness Legendary Pink Dots: anything 1980-1985, most 1986+ Stereo Total: Musique...

I develop my own CE software, so I want in even if I don't get any physical goods... though that IS great incentive! Please Refer me... Sean Schricker ga-research [my head-fi username] at hotmail THANKS!

Add my name to the list. We decided to come back from Japan early to make the meet. Yeah, I'm kidding. Do add my name, though, 'cause I will be back for the meet, but the reason is it's monsoon season and they're expected to have thunderstorms for the next 2 weeks or so.

Yup. Her brother is getting married on June 13th. ...Then WE wed on the 8th of August! She's going to wear a wedding kimono and I am going to wear the analagous male wedding wear (Hakama). The wedding will be in Los Angeles, not Japan.

Why do you people keep scheduling meets while I am busy? This time I will be in Japan. I'll, uh, be at the meet in spirit, though.

I was listening to Treasure by Cocteau Twins (still am, as I write) and noticing how it sounds like the CD was mastered by someone holding a mic to some speakers playing a good tape of the album... and I wondered, "When will someone remaster this?" ..Well, I looked online and found it was...

That's what I get for not going to the site for a few weeks. I didn't even realize there was a meet till today, a day or 2 after it ..Oh well. Looks like it was fun. I hope to make it to the next one........

Sonic Youth: S/T EP; Evol Durutti Column: A night in New York Legendary Pink Dots: Brighter Now; Curse Cul De Sac: Crashes to Light...; China Gate some others I can't think of........

Why is the album named OK Computer? I think I figured out the reason...(if it's not widely known, then yes, I am treating this as a riddle) .. .. .. I've never listened to the album, though......

Quote: Originally posted by scamper I probably should check out some of the Karl Blake material. For some reason, I have never been drawn to purchase any of his stuff. I have not heard his Shockhead Peters stuff, and the Sol Invictus CDs I have (2 of them) are not too compelling...

LPD is my favorite band (Sonic Youth second). I'm going to see Edward Ka Spel's solos set this week, in fact My favorite LPD period, though, is the the earlist period (1980-1988), while most people seem to feel that the late-80s to early-90s was the best period (likewise, many feel that...

$400 bucks bi-weekly on clothing? (to make the number easy I'll assuming you take 2 weeks off a year from your furious purchasing schedule) 400x25=$10,000 Oh wait. Not USD, must assume, so 10^4CAD=7,403.60 USD Have you considered professional help? I mean psychiatric help, not an assistant...

If you're not in a hurry to buy them, you may be able to audition headphones at one of the head-fi meets. You didn't give your location in your profile (so I cannot recommend one), but you can check out this forum http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=35 and see if one's happening...

1200 or so. Last count in 1998 was I think 950. I have since bought with much less frequency, but I tend to binge buy. I got 96 when I went to Japan. I tend to get 10+ CDs at a time (most always used) and I just ordered 40 from a German label... waiting for those now.

Ones I must second: New order: Blue Monday Metallica: One Sonic Youth: Teenage Riot Some others: Sonic Youth: World Looks Red, and Inhuman, I dream I dreamed (this is my favorite song of theirs) Cul de Sac: Doldrums Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast Scissor Girls: Anti-FUT.. the drums...

Wow.. that is quite a long way off. Well, I can't even choose yet, but if it ends up being on 2 Aug, I propose everyone give me a piece of their gear for my birthday! Wow, it'd be memorable!:

(After proofreading this I notice it's terribly disorganized, but may be of use to someone) I got my first PDA in 1991, before the term "PDA" was coined. I have used them almost constantly since then. I have had 8 since then: 1 was left atop a payphone, 1 fell 3 stories to its death the day...

Evolution isn't sound? Um.. ok. I believe in evolution and it's hard for me to understand how other people could not believe in it. I don't have time to write much here, and I realize that posting a link and saying "there! now deal with it!" isn't cool..... so I am not using this as an...
