oh, and billy, i know you like your starbucks but i can provide the coffee courtesy of my company, julius meinl, if you'd like. it's the least i can do for bringing so little gear. is anyone commuting from the city? i live just off the sheridan red line stop.

will anyone have a macbook there? or can i paraphrase, can someone bring one?

sbulack, i see you have the HD600 with cardas. have you tried this combination with the kicas? would love to hear your thoughts and impressions.

Add me too. Gear: -HD600 + Cardas -Sony NWZ 808 -Sleek Audio SA6 and if someone can bring a macbook (my imac ain't too portable)... I can bring my Apogee Duet.

Now torn between... Purity Audio KICAS Caliente M^3 with or without Sigma 11 Or maybe I'll keep on saving. I really enjoyed my headphones straight out of the headphone jack on my Apogee Duet last night. Have to crank it a bit though.

I'm not quite sure why so many people insist on buying brighter or more neutral-ish amps for the HD600. I really enjoy them with some tube warmth. One thing I noticed with the Pico was that I felt like I was analyzing the music a tad more than simply "getting into it." Thus, I'm not sure if I am...

Hey Headfi! I'm currently ampless, since I've sold off my pico. Previous experience include a Headroom MicroDac plus Micro Amp (2006 DM), RSA SR-71 and most recently the Headamp Pico. I've heard some pretty phenomenal setups with my HD600 at Chicago meets including the RSA B52, the Zana...

First off, thank you Todd for your generosity with this lending program. I am very thankful for the chance to audition this amp in my home with my own music and equipment over over a week. I'd previously heard this amp briefly at the Chi-Unifi meet with my UM2s and another head-fiers IMOD...
