Any sense of a timeline when the production phones will come to market. I was going to buy Senn hd800s but I'm thinking about saving my money and waiting for the holy grail! But how long must I wait...I'm an old man already!- barmar46

PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player
Huh? If it's highly unlikely that Neil Young would make a good CEO how would his taking over said position serve as encouragement? What am I kissing here?- barmar46

PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player
Yikes, I didn't read my last Kickstarter update. I am concerned. I've been following Neil Young's progress in making his passion a sustainable product. I "Ponoed" up my $400 for a signature edition player as premium. I stood by the company even though I felt the transparency was suspect and...- barmar46

= HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =
How is it a mistake or a problem that Hifiman is open and responsive to feedback, flexible and adaptive in design and production all in an effort to give birth to the best outcome they can achieve?

The Astell & Kern AK240

He's got major recorded labels on board and Meridian is a partner in the hardware. The thing I find most intriguing is that it seems nobody knows or at least is talking...- barmar46

LISA III & THE BEST COSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD!
I like the size. it's so solid ad substantial. Looks great on a beside table or to use as my home amp with very good phones and high end audiophile source and speakers. And I like it as a portable.

LISA III & THE BEST COSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD!
I bought a used LISA III on the for sale forum a couple of months back. It was all and more than I had heard and expected. Luscious and rich, detailed and dynamic from top to bottom. I had it on a bedside stand and kept it plugged in to a Larraco power supply. Sublime. But when I finally...- barmar46
