Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
Stuck Limo, I've noticed you listed a few products Larry has decided are "Financially dead ends". With all due respect, I don't think the products themselves are financial dead ends. In all honestly I believe your CEO is a financial dead end. I think LH Labs could have been very successful...- rschoi75

Light Harmonic Geek Wave
So you didn't need to crack open the Asteria because you already opened the Dorado... excellent R&D work.- rschoi75

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
How on earth is a dumpster fire of a company like Light Harmonics still in business? The blatant box art rip off is hilarious.- rschoi75

Audio Zenith PMx2 Impressions page
I'd agree with your point if it was 3 years ago and when these were new to the market. We've been there, and done that already. There's nothing wrong with having a discussion to help people choose, but you can't come to a conclusion when relying solely on one set of measurements.... especially...- rschoi75

If you haven't even heard these, what is the point of your post in the first place? What an odd, pointless soapbox rant.- rschoi75

Astell&Kern launches two new player lines at the High End Show 2018 in Munich, Germany
I seriously hope that's not the final design of the SP15. The novelty of that crooked screen has already worn off, and I've only seen it a picture of it online.- rschoi75

CanJam SoCal 2018 (April 7-8, 2018) Impressions thread
Too much in regards to sound signature. It was too much bass (particularly mid-bass), too much forward everything. The mids aren't drowned out as you'd expect from a standard "V" shape. Everything is up front and in your face. It's crystal clean all the way throughout the entire spectrum though...- rschoi75

CanJam SoCal 2018 (April 7-8, 2018) Impressions thread
Here are my notes from today in no particular order: - Sennheiser HD820: Looks and sound amazing. The sound stage is the widest I've heard in a closed headphone, but it still sounds closed. Bass is tight and rich, with a surprising amount of sub-bass for an HD8xx. Overall sound is airy but a...- rschoi75

NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
It's not out yet. Pre-orders are open now, and shipping in May I believe. Not sure about the other existing iems, but I think you may be able too. They had Comets for purchase today.- rschoi75

NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
I just came back from Canjam as well and I agree with the Atlas impressions. It's a Vega on steroids. Bigger, cleaner, harder hitting, larger sound stage, but still smooth as silk. If the Vega is a nice 32oz porterhouse steak, the Atlas is a 64oz tomahawk ribeye. I think it's a pretty amazing...- rschoi75

I love that these can be worn cable down. Looking forward to listening to them both at LA this weekend.- rschoi75

Rank the IEM's you've heard
These are the iems I've heard recently enough to remember. 1) Sennheiser IE800S - tie (I like the slight "V" shape, but more balanced sound. Best imaging I've heard in an iem) 1) Campfire Audio Vega - tie (imo the best basshead iem on the market) 3) Dunu DN-2000J (modded to dampen treble) 4)...- rschoi75

Massdrop PLUS Universal IEM
Just building on these posts. Recently I've been pairing this up with an older Oppo HA-2 amp/dac that I have, and I think it's the best pairing I've heard yet. The oppo ha-2 has an output impedance of 0.5 ohm, and it seems to make all the difference. The MD Plus is tight and clean across the...- rschoi75

Fostex TH900 MkII
I personally wouldn't commute with these. The isolation is good enough, but not really the best. Sound does leak. The cups also look comically large for a portable headphone, but if you're cool with that look, then more power to you. If you're really willing to spend $1000 on commuter headphones...- rschoi75
