    Bizarre wireless Fiio e12 interference from iPhone??!!?!

    It also is becoming apparent that if I keep the amp in between the phone and my computer, the wifi hotspot connection goes bananas: doubles itself in a hotspot broadcast, does not transmit data, gets into a tizzy about which device is connected to what, etc.   Things are fine when the amp is...

    Bizarre wireless Fiio e12 interference from iPhone??!!?!

    Hello all,   The strangest thing is happening.   I am on a bus, with an iphone SE, Fiio E12, senn hd-600s and bose soundsport in-ears.  I have not experienced this issue outside the bus, but I can't confirm it won't continue once I leave (I have a few more hours in transit)   I can wave my...

    Review by 'Jay Sullivan' on item 'Little Dot MK II'

    Hi all,    Preface:   I was debating selling my HD600's because they seemed to have no low end straight out of my "pro" audio interfaces.  They lacked character, and did not sound better (they sounded inferior) then my modded grado sr60e's (bass vented, Amazonbasic pads=basshead grado).  I...

    MP3 vs. FLAC (Split from Modi Multibit thread)

      True this.... With a major caveat that has also been covered.     Namely, the VBR (variable bitrate) codecs and the actual conversion algorithms behind our spotifys and google plays of the world.   most VBR codecs with an average of 320 kbps are good.   IMHO, itunes is a beast in this...

    Holy smokes, guys! That really sucks!!! I thought I went loud when I am feeling like rocking out, but nowhere remotely near a breakup point. Jeez....

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    FWIW, the folks I have personally run into who have it where all drummers in bands and did not practice good ear protection.   I occasionally wonder if headphones play a significant role in developing the issue, but it seems we, headphone folk, tend to be in other musical situations that will be...

    Beefiest, Baddest SR60e Grado Mod ($15) = hd600 no more

    Hi all,   I found the most bizarre stroke of luck the other day.  I may be selling my hd600’s soon as a result…  Hard to say that but it's true.          BACKROUND:   I have two other district flavors of headphones I like, for opposite reasons, with the neutrality of the 600’s...

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    What I'm curious about is the multibit tech- I've always used the dac's in my audio interface for recording, currently a Focusrite pro 24 VRM. These are good, quasi-balanced dac's and have many more than 2 channels the play with. However, they are, like all recording I/O, delta sigma and very...

    Review by 'Jay Sullivan' on item 'Grado Prestige Series SR60e Headphones'

    These are so weird.     I snagged them on a whim, wanting the grado flavor for cheap after having listened to some pair of grados at the hifi store a few months ago.  the sound stayed with me after all this time;  yet technically they are "terrible", i.e. no bass extension, strange supra aural...

    Did I just buy a prototype Fostex HP-V1?

    Heh. Also a bizarre specimen in general to find in a place like CL. My local's only have Beats and iPod shuffles... (CL=YMMV) I'd try to drum up some interest with fostex itself if you're looking for an outcome in particular. Otherwise, enjoy it! Should be at the very least a unique listen. -Jay

    VRM in Focusrite Saffire 24 dsp anyone? EQ? DSP?

    Hi all, I recently picked up the now discontiuned Focusrite VRM edition of the Saffire pro 24 dsp. For those who don't know these, they are standard A/D D/A converters and preamps used for recording. I got it for about $100 USD used, not bad. Anyway, I started using the VRM (?virtual room...

    Review by 'Jay Sullivan' on item 'AmazonBasics Lightweight On-Ear Headphones - Black'

    I have listened to many headphones, almost exclusively for monitoring and mixing applications. Mostly living in sennheiser land, I have owned/own hd 280, hd 598, and hd 600. I have listened extensively to the HD 800/800s, as well as audeze EL-8O, and sine. I am also very familiar with the Bose...

    Hey, thanks- I really appreciate the communication!   Unfortunately, a recent family event has stifled my chances of making it to NY for the meet.   :(   Things sure seem to be gearing up in this thread to make it a great meet!     Peace, Jay
