    Are you still looking to buy the EC 445 or Studio? I have both plus 5 other EC designs. Regards Frank

    Nice job Ryan.  Trust me, reviewing is both fun and rewarding.  However, it is also challenging and, while the vast majority of people are gracious and appreciative, there are also those who are either suspect or convinced that every review is biased or the reviewer getting paid off in the form...

    Nice review.  I  see that you have a pair of these same headphones listed for sale right now.  Not sure how seriously you take your reviewing - but as a former professional audio reviewer, you may want to be mindful of avoiding even "an appearance of impropriety" or a  potential bias. ...

    2016 Southeastern Michigan FALL Head-Fi Meet: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2016--Royal Oak, MI

    HEY GUYS!!   I need your help.   Before I explain, let me first thank Brian for making me not feel like the lone weird guy schlepping old technology like tubed amps and CD players to Head-Fi meets.   And yes, I am bringing my AMR CD-77 and about 50 CDs (not audiophile-approved CDs but the...

    2016 Southeastern Michigan FALL Head-Fi Meet: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2016--Royal Oak, MI

    Hey John,   I plan on being there with an Eddie Current Studio amp (and possibly an Allnic HPA-5000, OTL amp), with Focal Utopia, HD-800, Audeze LCD-3 and LCD-X cans and some antiquated, overly large dinosaur of a tubed CD player and/or Bricasti M-1 DAC and transport.   I am hoping there is...

    MrTie84,   Craig Uthus at Eddie Current thanks you for the kind words (or at least I would think he would - since all I contributed was the purchase price!!) but we certainly do not want you to lose your mind!!!  ;-)  That 's where I have you beat - I obviously have already lost mine because...

    2016 Southeastern Michigan FALL Head-Fi Meet: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2016--Royal Oak, MI

    Hey guys, sorry I am late to the party!  Is there still an opening?  After my debacle in Ann Arbor (locking myself out of my car with 600 pounds of gear still loaded up in the store), I thought I'd have to be drugged to come back.   However, this time I am thinking of just bringing my Focal...

    Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV

    It's late Saturday night and I am going back now to listen to the Utopias after about 50 hours of burn-in.  Not sure if the "mistress" or the "hotter-looking wife" will show up but I figure either way I cannot lose because  . . . I . . . uh  . .  well . . . . . .  never mind . . .  I  better...

    Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV

    Well,   Got the Utopias in last evening and am running them 24/7 to burn in.  While I am not usually the most patient person in the world, when I get new speakers or components, I will run them 24/7 for 200 hours minimum (this habit is from my reviewing days) before ever listening (other than...

    Focal Elear and Utopia Review / Preview With Measurements - Head-Fi TV

    Well guys, it will be my turn today to get to hear the Utopias.  My pair is out for delivery by UPS today (I bought them from Jason/The Soucre AV) and I am blessed enough to have some options in driving them.    My all time favorite cans so far are still the HD-800 (and mine never sound bright...

    2016 Southeastern Michigan Spring Meet March 26, 2016 - Hosted by Overture Audio - Ann Arbor, MI

    OK guys, I must be nuts, I just finished packing 450 pounds of amps (and power supplies) , CDPs, DACs and power conditioners and I haven't even started on the numerous 5 pound power cords and umbilicals, the headphones, the headphone stands, various footers and pucks, remotes, ICs, CDs . . ...
