Hey, I hope I'm not too late but If the meet is small enough we can have it at my apartment, I already have two tables and have a nice open living room.

What kind of a place are you looking for in gainesville? I've never been  to a meet so I don't know how these things usually go.

Quote: Nice, I'm looking forward to the meet then. I've also seen a bunch of M50s and an sr325i or two around so I'm sure there are at least a couple of head-fiers or friends of head-fiers around. 

I'm also in Gainesville and l'm interested in meeting up. I don't have a  lot of stuff but i'd love to try out some of the things you guys have posted.   Full-sized: -Hifiman he400 -Grado SR225   IEM: -HIfiman re-zero -JVC FXD80 -heir 3.ai(soon)   Source: -Matrix M-stage...

Quote: Well, I do agree that League of Legends and WoW have shallow learning curves but I wouldn't call them the most  accessible as they do require knowing a lot about the game to be good at them, they are just maybe not as difficult to understand or technically intensive as starcraft or...

Quote: I only have flac playing through audirvana on my desktop through osx into a usb matrix m-stage at the 0 db gain setting (tried all of them) with the volume knob turned up about half-way connected to the he400. It seems to happen with a lot of songs that have the same notes, It...

Hmm, I've been listening to these for a while and found that on certain mid-bass notes the headphone has a mild rattling noise in the right ear with some distortion. Have any of you ever heard of this problem before? Do I have a faulty right driver? It doesn't happen all the time, just on songs...

Quote: Good call, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Quote: I just got them and have been listening for about 2 hours and they sound really good on the m-stage. So much instrument seperation and detail that you can get lost following one instrument and forget what part of the song you are in. I have no better way to describe how this combo...

Thanks, I hope these don't go through the same transformation period I had with the k701. I'm really liking these right now, I hope the sound only gets better. I don't like to have an opinion on burn-in because while it could be all in your head, when I had my k701s I really noticed a sharp...

How long are you guys burning these in for? I just got my pair right now and while they sound very good, I'm wondering if burn-in is relevant for planar magnetic headphones.

how do you do this? did you cut the mesh out yourself?

Oh I see, I'm going to check that out. I have the usb version and I went from onboard sound and having my sansa clip+ being my main source to the m-stage and it was such a big difference. I don't think I'm going to upgrade my amp for a while unless I want something for speakers. I'm sorry to...

Quote:   Thanks, that's kinda what I wanna hear. Idk how much time you spent with the 70xs but I really enjoyed them out of the matrix the rare times I actually felt like listening to them. First impressions were amazing but it wore off quickly and I think it had to do with how cold the...

Quote: Thanks, I'll take a look at it when they get here on monday. I also have to ask, are these really as good as this thread makes them sound? I had traded my 701s for k550s and was pretty disappointed so I sold them and now I'm getting the he400s. I know for sure they'll sound better...
