Crack;Bottlehead OTL
Do you guys feel the Harrison attenuators are too long? I looked at the pics (the one with Schiit DAC) and boy it is really long! I don't think it is gonna fit my setup - I don't have much space behind the DAC, and putting it on the crack side might not work too (even with the L adapter). ...- j123my

Michigan Spring Meet-Up 2013 (APRIL 20TH @ MSU KELLOGG)
Sent some money to blitxgene. Thanks a lot for organizing it! Though I did not get to try HD800 or some LCD2, that was a really good meet. Definitely should do again in the future. So I guess I managed to convince some people to get some HD600 and some crack? I was surprised by the tiny...- j123my

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
I think I'll dig up my adapter, buy a nos tube, and try 6sn7 once more. I swear I wasn't impressed with the 6sn7 tubes I tried sometime ago (and decided to stick with 12au7). But since people keep saying so, well.. I do hope I am missing something.- j123my

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
You can buy a pair and sell one if you must. I did that and ended up keeping both, though, so be careful.. Looks like vacuumtubes.net has some 5998's. But I have to say I have no experience with them, I got mine NOS from a headfier sometime ago.- j123my

Ideal setup for sennheiser HD800 with PC
Quote: You might be right about ODAC, since I heard DAC doesn't affect the sound as much as amps do when you're past certain price. But I imagine the HD800 will benefit from better amps. The O2 is not bad, but IMHO my HD600 sounds much better with a Bottlehead Crack (which I own) than...- j123my

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
There are several adapters of different brand/seller you can get from ebay. Unfortunately those ships from China, so be patient.. To be honest, I don't quite like my crack paired with 6sn7's as much as I like it with Telefunken 12au7. Also for all the 6sn7's I have tried (mostly Tung Sols...- j123my

Need recommendation for HD 650 upgrade?
I have not tried the Qinpu, but I really like my HD600 with the crack (and I know I am not the only one ). Look around for existing threads, you might find more information there.- j123my

Well yeah.. If you have amp(s), dac(s), laptop, and a number of cans, how would you walk around with those? If you don't need a table, then that's great!- j123my

Yeah I was thinking maybe asking people to PM their real name (+ whoever coming along) and making name tags may make a cheap solution. Plus it is easier to get to know each other!- j123my

Michigan Spring Meet-Up 2013 (APRIL 20TH @ MSU KELLOGG)
On a more serious note, how many people are we expecting so far? Is the room big enough? Looking at the size of the table on earlier pictures, I won't be surprised if some people ended up occupying 2 seats for their gear (not me, though). Also, does the facility has free access for public...- j123my

New open back cans from $150-300
If you are patient enough, you can find some HD600s (very good condition) for below $300 both on the FS forum and on ebay. Sometimes HD650s get close to $300 too. Just saying.- j123my

New open back cans from $150-300
If you don't mind getting used, I recommend sennheiser HD600/650. I love my HD600 for jazz. And they should go with you a long way since they scale well with amps.- j123my
