    Reply to review by 'j&j' on item 'Sennheiser HD 600'

    I once asked a HF member here with an awesome collection of high end cans inc Stax planars and just about every flagship model why he still had the Senn HD 600 and not to my surprise as I also own them he stated that they were simply the most natural sounding of all his collection and got lotsa...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Just curious as to the Manhattan Project Living here in N.M near Los Alamos I have to ask Will you be using fission or fusion as power source and if you go the fission route as I suggest you should think big fans and giant heat sinks

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    OK I say it before you F--- me but the truth is your products are underpriced not because a higher $ will confer more respect but because the performance/price ratio is out of whack with other stuff out there and either you are the most altruistic ethical business guy in the world or you are...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Roaches (not the smoking variety) for whatever reason have an attraction to electronics. I'm guessing if you have a roach problem and the exterminator comes you tell them not to spray or put anything near your precious equipment. and some smart bugs figured it out.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Totally unrelated to selling electronics I sold financial products. A senior financial advisor gave me very sound advise that was don't confuse the client with too many chooses. Kinda universal business advise. and damn just took loki and modi opt off my xmass list

    The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)

    I am hesitant to disagree with the bright informed members here at HF but there are audiophiles still spending hundreds of thousands on 2channel speaker systems so I imagine these stats will fly off the shelves. The millionaires/billionaires routinely buy $100,000.00 for Patek watches so the...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Thank you Jason!!! for validating what I've learned about this hobby that is it is driven by paranoia  the feeling that someone out there is hearing more detail sound stage, dynamic range, tighter bass, treble sparkle etc you all know the buzz words. Just to illustrate the point I have a lot of...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    IMHO always trying to make it better and cheaper can limit Schiit. Better yes but high end audio meaning spending big bucks for small SQ improvements is a fact of life in the hobby and the number of consumers willing to buy big ticket items especially from a nitch boutique manufactory (with your...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Just read the chapter and Jason's  comments  the part about CEOs that plan for the future and ignore NOW ( =  earnings quarterly report card ) Isn't that what happened to Carly Fiorina GOP candidate and former CEO of HP. She probably saved the company in the long run by downsizing employees and...

    Official New York Spring Meet 5.2.15 Impressions

    Attended show for a short time this afternoon. As always the vendors and member exhibitors were amazingly generous with their time and toys. It seems the HP Amp de jure was a Decware Taboo a fine piece of equipment making a wide variety of phones perform at their best especially the Planars...

    Starter Tube AMPs

    For A. Dogs I recommend a Schiit LYR V1/V2 or a G1217 Solstice/Ember from my listening experience.  Planars really perform best when you throw some power at them. The Valhalla might not be the best match for the A. Dogs
