    Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review

    I actually like the pads quite a bit - maybe I just lucked out with head shape and ear size.  Clamping force is no more than my he-400i's. Definitely a comfortable pair of headphones.   Treble is definitely a tad hotter than the rest of my collection, but not too hot.  Actually gives them a...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Has anyone tried the T40RP mk3's yet ?  My trusty M50's are falling apart and I need something closed/isolating.     I bought a pair of PM-3's last week and I absolutely love them - to the point where I am not willing to leave them in the office all the time.

    Vsonic VSD2 / VSD2S and AN16 Impressions Thread

    I am in NY and received both of mine on Saturday.   They were worth the price for the preorder I think. The VSD2S has sort of a fun "musical" sound to it even though it sounds sort or neutral/cold.  Hard to explain - Bass extension leaves you wanting in some cases, but vocal and acoustic...

    GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier

    Yes to both. Received an e-mail yesterday saying that it was shipped along with a tracking number, received it today.   Keep in mind I live an hour or two from their distribution warehouse.

    GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier

      Thanks - H10 showed up today along with a Niles AXP1, and a IP-managed AC power switch/pdu, which I am using to manage inputs and power of my stack since the power switches are a pain to get to when shelved. I really only use my PC, so it makes it really easy to manage.           So...

    GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier

    I sorta went overboard. Going to replace my old D100 Mk.1 with a X12 - ordered it yesterday.   Got a U12 already, H10 coming from massdrop, and picked up an HE-400i.

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    I am about to give up.   Just got my RMA'd set and they rattle way worse the the ones i sent in.  There is a very slight rattle in the right and an extreme rattle in the left during any bass frequency tests.   I might just ask for a complete refund and stick with my 4 year old K701s.   0/2.

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

      Just an update:  I tried using a qtip and pushing against the plastic slightly to fix the rattle, nothing I did made it go away. They are replacing them for me, so hopefully I'll have a new set in a week or so.

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    I have a pair that I bought on a whim back on the first massdrop offering.  After a few hours my right driver rattle excessively with tracks that have any sort of bass track.   Easiest song I have found it on is: DJ Tiesto - Battleship Grey It's definitely not the source because it is a flac...

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    Used the regular XMOS v2.23 driver with Win 8.1 - had zero issues.  Love the sound of it after several months of use.  Blows the Yulong U18 I was using out of the water (at least to my ears) and eliminated my driver issues.  The yulong would often lock up and require me to reconnect it over and...

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    So whats the general opinion of these at this point?   I picked up a U12 from ebay to replace my Yulong U18, which was nothing but problems. Initial impressions are quite a bit more resolution at various frequiencies (Things seem stronger, yet clearer?) and much more detailed highs.  The...

    YULONG's new U18 USB 24/192 Async digital Interface

    Does the U18 utilize all of the outputs simultaneously? I was hoping to isolate my PC power from my sources and consolidate to a single output device.  I wanted to run AES to one and optical to the other, should be no problem right ?

    V-Link192 output question

    Does anyone know if it will output both the AES/EBU and the COAX output at the same time? I was hoping to be able to hook up an A/V receiver and my D100 at the same time.

    Is it okay to hit back?

    Imho, your right and the school system is wrong. No one should ever be forced to take any form of insult or assault, either verbal or physical, and be forced to stand there and do nothing, even if said person is 5 years old. And lets be honest, words can hurt a whole lot more than a punch or a...

    One question for cable believers.

    Pretty sure that was him being sarcastic.
