@howdy I'm here! PM sent.

Well I may not get you to part ways with your money on a portable rig, but I will turn you into a bughead...

@adamaley - thanks for getting this going, unfortunately I am unable to make it.     We'll have to chat tomorrow at  work since we discovered today that we work together!  lol

I sent an email earlier in the day - I haven't heard back yet.  I will give it a couple days, I am hoping by tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed!

Greg, Sounds good - thanks. Planning these things are always difficult and my hat is off to those who have successfully done this in the past!   Eric

I have been working to secure a location for the last week. I thought I would be able to announce something here on Monday, but am having to wait on schedules outside of my control.   What I hope is that by  next wed 4/20 I will have the scheduling figured out and we would have a solid...

  +1 Yes they do .

  Here are my RSM Quads in Carbon Fiber - these are the only ones in CF.  They are really stunning in the light. Marc may offer them as an option in the future. 

Yes - everyday - great combo - very dynamic - and no hiss or noise whatsoever.   In fact, last week Marc from Alclair used my DX90 for his demos at our audio society of mn meeting. When are you getting your Alclairs?   I have had mine since last October - they are fantastic.

I have two tables I will bring.

In audio, crazy is the norm...   I will also bring along my Intruder and my iModed Gen 5.5 / Rockboxed ipod.

Thanks - I own an RSA Intruder and Whiplash TWag hybrid v3 balanced so I already can tell you what I think The W4Rs really come to life with this setup.

I will be there!  I was there a couple years ago and had a great time.  I will bring my T1s re-cabled balanced (Zeus) (http://aphroditecu29.com/Zeus/Zeus_Headphone_Cable.aspx) local guy! / RWA Isabellina HPA.  I also will bring my computer setup with audiophile optimizer / JRiver 19/ Jplay into...

Thanks everyone today - I had a great time today.  It was interesting hearing all the combinations and synergies among the various systems.   Again thanks Ken for your hospitality.  Great place you have there.   cheers, Eric

Just found out about this - great job! I am 90% sure I can make it.  Is there enough room to bring another folding table? I will also bring my portable amps. Eric  

That stream of binary data finding it's way is all about the journey, the destination and perhaps most important is the source. In this case the cable provides the journey - that's the way I look at it.  If you have a good source and it leads you to your destination you should be happy! I...

Quote: I don't own any of the ALO products and this is the only RSA product I own.  I don't find any use for 24/192.  Some HDTracks I have are 24/96, but I think for ALL practical purposes I will stick with The Redbook Standard.  There are many resources available to discuss the merits of...

Quote: That is so you can see the smile on my face Quote: YES! Totally agree on this one.  OK back on track here - I have about 60 hrs burn in and it keeps opening up - I think I will let it burn all weekend I want to get over 100+ ASAP.

Quote:   I think you are asking about this part "By connecting the phones"  That isn't what he was saying - he was saying to connect my headphones - so there is a load on the amp.  I am sure you can connect any source you want, just make sure you connect headphones or IEMs to provide...

I also wanted to address the comment mentioned above about the 16/48 kHz limitation in this thread - that may be - I haven't seen any posted specs - but I thought I should mention that I am listening to my HDTracks via Foobar 2000 and all I had to do was set to output at 16/48 and I have no...

For anyone interested I asked Ray how to properly burn in The Intruder and here was his answer:   By connecting the phones to the amp & let it run day & night to get 100+ hours. No worry if it gets warm. Connect it to the charger. When charger light is Green the battery is fully charged...

Quote: See - I am not the only one minimizing buyers remorse with this review!  And BTW - yesterday I ordered The Intruder from Ray - I need to find a portable amp thread to help me out with the buyers remorse on that one...JK.  I am still sifting through all the information on this...

Thanks David for this definitive guide to help minimize my buyers remorse I have now or will have on any future HP purchases
