Ayy finally I find another music producer on head-fi. Welcome to the select club of music makers who also enjoy good audio gear lol. As far as better gear I can confirm, I noticed a significant jump in quality when I moved from my FiiO e09k/e07k combo to what I use now, a Zen Can and Topping...

@mobbaddict and @Heldaeus I'm glad you two managed to confirm my experience. It feels nice to have the issue resolved. Thankfully this should indicate the unit variation is lower than I initially had presumed it to be. One thing to note is that now the cable has gotten easier to plug in after...

Ok so I ordered these headphones based on both what I read in this thread and what I saw on YouTube from NoThemeReviews. Interestingly, before I bought them I also saw the Max Settings review, and I almost immediately figured out the reasoning for it being so negative (if anyone cares still...

I think a great song for testing both high and low end is Savant by Solar Fields. Really the first ~4 minutes will do just fine.

Dang that's quite the collection! I'm looking forward to it I gotta say. You were at the last Atlanta meet as well right? I think I remember some of this stuff from 2018.

Count me in as well! Like last year, I hope no one minds if I bring my keyboard along again. As I am in university, I don't have much in the way of high end stuff. Although if anyone wants to try some ie 60's lemme know lol (they really aren't that bad). I'll try to be a bit quieter this year, I...

By the way, I just wanted to make sure of this. I like to make music as a hobby, and obviously good headphones go well with a synthesizer. I currently have two that I use and would be interested in listening to them through different headphones and potentially different amplifiers. They aren't...

Count me in, bringing the same old gear I've had since the beginning. hd598s and a FiiO e07k/e09k combo. Maybe next year I'll have some Stax to show for myself lol. Looking forward to meeting everybody because I missed the last meeting unfortunately.

How come? Has he proven to be disingenuous in the past? I only ask out of sheer curiosity.

     As one can probably tell from the title, I listen to mostly electronic music. Of varying sorts, but usually with a lot of analogue synths and wide soundscapes. Because of this, and their recent price drop, I was looking at the Sennheiser HD700's for a while, as I thought they'd suit my...

I am so angry, I was so preoccupied with school ending that I completely forgot about this (I am fuming with anger). Next year it is then.

Damn it! I cannot believe I wasn't aware of this! I heard talk of an Atlanta meet last year, but nothing ended up coming of it. If only I had known, looks like it was a blast. Oh well, there is always a next year, isn't there.

Well then there is the fact that the Noble 4C is $300 cheaper.

Wow, my Foobar looks so different now. Amazing.

Man, I didn't know everyone thought these things were ugly. I've owned mine for over 2 years now and every time I look at them I think, "Yes, I am very happy I bought that". Not just for the looks (which I think are amazing). But the sound as well.

I would also like to see this come to fruition. I wonder if anyone knows where or when more specifically this would take place, or who would be hosting. Anyway I would be bringing the classic starter setup:   Senn HD-598 FiiO E09 & E07K   However if we do it after December I will also...

Geez your children are lucky people I had a $5 pair of Maxell headphones when I was 11. But it is good to see your children aren't blinded by the Beats.

I would get a better amp of you are going for an HD 650, maybe use the FiiO as a DAC and get something like a Woo WA3.

I can an will attend any day, as long as it isn't May 30th. And I am definitely down for the dinner. Also if anyone needs something to plug their stuff into I will have my computer with me.

Sounds good to me. Sunday would be optimal, but either day works.

Count me in if I may come.

Ok, so I have been wondering: Does anyone other than me have a perfect place in their mind, like a room in a certain house, or anywhere really, that they imagine having all their hi-fi setup, sitting down there at a certain time, and having a wondrous listening session. It can't just be me...

What would someone recommend for the Senn HD 700? The Woo Wa3 or the Valhalla? Or maybe even the Lyr? I like treble heavy sound that isn't extremely smooth.

What if I connected a FiiO e7/e9 combo as a DAC and used that to provide input for a Schiit Valhalla? How much better would it be if I used a Bifrost as the DAC? Or would the FiiO combo be good enough to use with the WA3?

What are people's thoughts on the cold steel Warcraft tanto for field use, ie: batoning, whittleing, splitting small logs? And is it worth it's price?
