First, thanks to Yukari for organising a successful GTG. Plenty of gear to sample :)   Thanks also to Solarstabi for letting me hear his balanced HD800 via a Yamaha CDP to a DIY Twisted Pear DAC. To Duckman for his Leben integrated and LCD2. And to Yukari for her wonderful Stax setup...

Ok, so I've finally setup fb2k + asio4all and hooked up the predator to my comp's USB port. Playing a couple of ALAC files now via fb2k and noted the music volume via my UM2 to be much lower compared to using the regular Ipod-dock-to-predator-input. I've set the gain to medium and...

And I thought the Tomahawk was small. PR018 received :thumbup: cheers + happy holidays Ray + family k_

First, thanks to gz76 for organizing and hosting this gtg. the day: It was a busy Sunday for me + family, so I only arrived in the arvo and spent ~3 hours there. Good to meet up with local head-fiers, there is now a local group to compare and contrast gear with. Very helpful indeed for me...

apologies, could not drop off the Marantz cdp yesterday. I'll try to get there earlier today ~12-1p. cheers k_

hello, Like Jasper I'll pop in around 1-2pm. gz76 -- I have a spare Marantz CD48 w/ 0.5m CableTalk IC. Since I'm arriving late, I could possibly drop off this source on Saturday, somewhere. PM me if interested. cheers k_

I'm not sure if Jasper is referring to me, however I'd love to attend this if there's still room. I don't have any home headphone gear at this stage but can bring my portable setup - Tomahawk, ALO cryo dock, UM2 and Nano. I can also bring a spare Marantz CD player if there aren't enough...

I sent an email to Craig <cuthus@charter.net> on 12/02. He said (then) no stock until April. k_ ps. the other email (on the website) does not work. I know, I tried

what? Here are some updates/my notes on tips + um2.. why? These notes are mainly for my re-collection Maybe it could help someone compare and contrast their experiences with using different UM2 tips. history: I've had my um2 for a few months already. Sometime in my tests I did...
