I ordered a Magni 2 yesterday morning at 9am and it was shipped at 11am.  I live in maybe 40 miles away myself, so I'm hoping it will make it here before Christmas.  Maybe today.  Fingers crossed.

So basically I want to give a shout out to you guys to say thanks for pretty much just improving my life.  I'm an obsessive music snob (mostly drum & bass and purist dubstep) and I moved into an apartment several months ago with thin walls.  I had built up a pretty impressive stereo, but was...

I have a set of B&W 686 bookshelf speakers (well, I have the entire 684 theatre set, but right now my 686's are the only thing hooked up) and they sound great with death metal. ****, the cones are made of ******* kevlar. That **** stops bullets. Varg could shoot you in the face, the bullet could...

I'm interested. Count me in!

  Oh yeah, he PMed me like five minutes after I posted that and it turned out he had missed my email. Anyway, Skuld 2 on the way for my LCD-2s.

Quote: Well, that's a good reason to spend my money!

So I've narrowed my choices down to the Schiit Lyr, Burson Soloist-SL, and Woo WA6. What should I get?

So I've been in contact with Trevor about getting a Skuld 2 made for my LCD-2s and I've noticed that he offers a 4 wire version and an 8 wire version.  I just want to know what the difference is and if it's worth the extra money.  Looks like a great quality cable though, something that would...

Fun. I'm not an audio engineer, I simply listen for pleasure.

I have ~$1000 to spend on an amp and dac for the LCD-2s.  Tell me what to buy because I'm ******* sick of researching.

What do I get?  I would like the absolute best sound I can get out of these cans for under $1000.  If it's slightly more I can stretch it, but I'd like to stay under.  I've heard great things about the Lyr/Bifrost combo, but would like to look at some other options.  The Woo WA7 Fireflies looks...

Anyone listened to the Modi paired with the Valhalla?  How would it compare with the bifrost?  I'd like to get a DAC soon, but I don't really want to spend the extra $250 on the Bifrost if it's not $250 better than the Modi...

I think I've found my perfect bass headphones.  AIAIAI TMA-1s.  Love the darkness of the sound.  The bass is exaggerated and menacing while being controlled and clean.  For dance music there's nothing I've heard that beats them. Junglist checking in here.

Have you looked into the AIAIAI TMA-1's?  They're designed for DJing, have very good bass and are just about indestructable too.  Very nice price as well.  Compared to my last DJ headphones (Allen & Heath Xone XD-53) they bass is a lot cleaner sounding.  They can get pretty tight feeling on your...

I really don't know what to do.  I got it in the mail today.  Set it up when I got off work just like it said and listened to music on it for a couple of hours.  It was bliss listening to it.  Then a couple of hours into breaking it in the right driver just stopped playing.  It came back on for...

Just got home and installed the tubes, plugged her in and I am completely amazed.  I've never had a speaker amp and I've been listening to these Beyers without a headphone amp for a while now.  I honestly don't think I've ever heard music sound this good and I have a $1000+ turntable hooked up...

Get on the old atmospheric drum & bass tip.  All of it has crazy deep (and VERY clean) sub-bass.  Here's an example:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ3ppztCbFM

Got my Valhalla in the mail today.  Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet since the mailman came as I was getting ready for work, but the instruction manual definitely made me laugh.  The bit about troubleshooting if it won't turn on was gold.

Thinking about some new basshead cans.  Granted all of my headphones are basshead cans really, but thinking about some new ones regardless.  What's your opinion on AIAIAI TMA-1 vs V-Moda M-100 as far as sq and bass are concerned.  I really only want you to comment on this if you've had...

Quote:  $100 and the fact that I'm only going to be driving high ohm Beyers and, potentially, Sennheisers in the future.

YES! Now a proud owner of a Schiit Bifrost and Valhalla.  Just wish I didn't have to wait on the mailman, considering I could drive to their HQ in like 20 minutes...

I keep the media player flat and have the bass and treble right at their center points.

So I just go a set of DT 990 600 ohm's in the mail today.  I'm loving them, but when I crank them up they get very distorted.  Plugged them into my Marantz PM5004 integrated amp which is being fed from the line out of my MacBook Pro.  Granted, my taste in music is drum & bass.  I'm thinking this...

The song Limit to Your Love by James Blake has ridiculous bass.  I also remember this drop in the song Pikes by Paul Van Dyk that I used to blast on my car stereo back in high school because of the insane bass drop.  I also like all kinds of old atmospheric Drum n Bass (stuff on good looking)...

Kid A.  Yeah, that's the one.
