Been out of the game for quite some time, but I should be able to make it! I’ll have the following: Magni Piety HD6XX Franken HE-400 (the original!)

Woah. Guys I am terribly sorry for not keeping you updated. It's been one hell of a semester! I would still love to organize one very soon, as I will be out of school next week! I'll try to give updates ASAP!!!

@Noremac82 Anyone is certainly welcome to come! It's always nice to introduce others to this wonderful community. I'm currently looking at the main library In Cincinnati and possibly the Dayton Metro as well. I will keep you guys updated. Feel free to let any others in the area know as well...

Hello all. Just wanna do an interest check for a possible meet in the next month or two. Looking to put something together soon. 

Yeah, your best bet is to try and audition as many cans as you can to try to get a feel for what you like. The HD6X0 are great cans but some people just don't like their sound signature. The HD650 is more mid bassy than the 600, and the 600 has more shouty upper mids. Both are exceptional on...

For a "budget" rig, I'd go for the Schiit Valhalla 2 and Bifrost Multibit if you can stretch your budget some. 

To be honest, I think you'll be very happy with what you have. The 400S doesn't need a ton of power and the FiiO will be plenty for them. If I were you, I'd keep what you have for a while and wait to upgrade to a better system. A lot of people (myself included) made the mistake of either...

^^ So do I. If it's really good it might be my next headphone. I'm getting rid of everything except my Mk3's. It's time to get out of mid-fi purgatory and put together a system that I won't feel the need to upgrade.    Edit: Aaaaaand it's wireless...ugh nevermind

Hello new, I'm Dad!  

Ugh. Clearing up funds for Christmas and have to sell mine. I'll probably end up getting some this summer. For anyone looking, mine are up in the FS forum with mods. 

I had a lot of fun too. I'm already looking into a spring meet, so I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for coming.

I'm gonna head down there in about 30 min from Dayton. Receiver is a no go as it the transistors are going bad..

My receiver has run into a problem. It is getting extremely hot near two of the transistors and either one or both of them is making a crackling noise. The heat sink is also getting extremely hot when the receiver is on for even one minute. I've researched the problem and it is supposedly...

Yes, I'm sure that's the case. I find it odd how much of a difference having thicker pads makes. Maybe it was just the material (cotton) that I stuffed underneath the pads but it sucked out the mids. Overall, I'm really happy with how the sound from a powerful amp.

I used my modded HE400's as a reference. After mods, they sound fairly similar. The 400 still has better subbass extension but the mk3 is so much tighter than before. The 400 is certainly brighter up top but I am still able to hear subtleties in the songs I used as references in the mk3 (Hotel...
