Hey Guys, I am defaulting people to a 1/2 table unless there is a special request for the full table.     Quote:   bring that gear!     We have 28 tables so I think we will probably be good.  :)  That being said, I'll keep you undecided for the time being, just in case.    

Due to some family circumstances, I will unfortunately not be able to attend this year's meet. Thread ownership has been transferred to everyone's favorite meet Bay Area organizer, CEE TEE!   I will miss being able to chat with everyone but hopefully I will see you guys next year. :)

Hey everyone,   I had a blast last February at the bay area meet and I wanted to start a thread to gauge interest for another meet on the weekend of the 15-16th of Feb. 2014.  February is usually a dreary, uneventful month so it would be cool to have something to look forward to.   There is...

Great meet, it was lots of fun talking to everyone.   I went into the meet with the intention of selling my stax rig, however the EC Electra has made me fall back in love with the SR007.

It is pretty cool that the meet could generate this much interest in so little time.

Quote:   I think the LCD-3 is probably a bad comparison.  If I recall correctly there was a huge negative response to its price amongst most in the community so it probably isn't a very good scientific control.     Most headphones used to have a more sane relationship between their...

"Rolled off" usually is meant that at a certain frequency(within the audible range) the response starts to drop in amplitude and continues downward.  An example is the lows in the AKG-701, they start to roll off around 50ish hz.   The LCD-3 keep upper frequency response throughout the...

The best I have ever heard the Grados was through any clean SS amp.(low output impedance, sufficient driving power, etc.)   Now don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a burly tube amp as much as the next guy but Grado's really don't require much in the amplification department so if you are...

This is funny, I actually had the exact opposite problem.  For me the vocals on the hd800 always sounded a little to the left instead of centered and I figured it was because of the superior soundstage that I could actually hear the difference.

From what people have been saying, if you push in the crossbars right at or above the "right" and "left" casings inwards and a bit down, it helps what problems you are having.

Ok mini-review time,   Got the AT in yesterday.   Right now is my biggest complaint is the fit. Second: Microphonic cord Third: Not crying over how beautiful these things are every time I look at them.   The sound?  In a word: immediacy.   Personally, I have always craved a...

Thanks for the congrats all.  My wife is definitely doing a lot more in the baby department but the headphones are all me. :)

Gratuitous back story warning!     I got into this head-fi thing right in 2002 as a poor college student.  I remember lusting after the w2002 right from day one.  Years later when I could finally afford them(and after being disappointed by the leatherhead nonsense, sorry fans) they had...

I had a Buffalo32s(v 1.0) that has been working great for years. Recently it developed a low level scratching/static noise in the right channel. This was built for me awhile back by a trusted, experienced builder but he did it as an outright favor to me and I would rather try and address this...
