So, first off, I'd like to thank the very awesome @donkeywalker for organizing this meetup today. It was nice to get to make new friends just as I came back for to the Bay Area for Spring Break.

SF Bay Area Mini Meet May 4th 2014 impressions
Well, it's a mini-meet, but since I got to speak to folks and listen to a lot of cool gears, and did comparisons, I was able to get impressions on a lot of stuffs. First up... Zana Deux + HD800 combo. Man, I was floored, no doubt. Easily the best system I heard at the meet. Everything was...- Bill-P

Bill-P's Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro modding diary (including sibilance elimination)
Please go to post #6 if you are looking for a way to reduce the treble of the DT770 for good. May also apply to other headphones! I'm getting really good results modding the DT770, and the sound that I'm hearing is pure bliss! Plus quite a number of people were interested in knowing what...- Bill-P

Mini SF Bay Area meet
I was thinking we could have a mini meet in the SF Bay Area again, since I bet quite a number of people missed out on the meet at CAS4 and just headed straight for the Headmaster section. Not all of us can make it to CanJam... And then there are some of us who are still itching to hear more...- Bill-P

ATH-EW9 Review
I bought these as a gift for my brother. A very kind Head-Fi'er let me have them for ~$100. However, that didn't stop me from sneaking a little audition... And that "little audition" was enough to prompt this review. First, the suspect: AA battery included so that you can get a...- Bill-P

Review: Fiio E12 (comparison to C&C BH + JDS Labs O2 + JDS Labs C421)
I'm sure many are pondering about these two portable powerhouses. So this one is for you. First off, some size comparisons: (taken directly out of camera without any adjustment whatsoever) So, as you can see, E12 is almost roughly TWICE the size of C&C BH...- Bill-P

Would lack of amp power causes degradation to sound quality for high impedance headphones?
I'm opening this thread because recently, I had a debate with stv014 over at Full-Size Headphones and we both had quite a heated exchange. I'll apologize again to stv014 for my attitude, and I hope we can have a more civil discussion this time. I'll make the intention of this thread...- Bill-P

ATH-ESW9 fake or no?
Well, I took a gamble and "tried" to purchase some ATH-EW9 (the clip-on) from China. All paid and done two weeks ago. Then package arrived today. I opened it up and found, to my surprise, a pair of ATH-ESW9! Considering they came without a box, and kind of barebone, I was afraid they were...- Bill-P

So what is better than the DT990 Pro?
I can feel my wallet and conscience sharpening their tools. But... my curiosity just keeps tickling me. So, the story is, I absolutely love the sound out of my DT990 Pro. Really, wouldn't trade it for the world right now, and especially since I got it from another Head-Fi'er at quite a good...- Bill-P

Audio Technica ATH-ES55 Review
Introduction: I have heard rumors about these for a long while, but never found them for sale at a reasonable price point. So when they showed up for $70 on eBay, I though... "no brainer!" and placed the order. Comparison: I would love to do a comparison between these and the...- Bill-P

Recommend me some good clip-ons...
Hi. Looking around, I haven't seen many clip-on headphones still on the market. I'm currently looking for a pair that fits the following criterias: 1) Retractable cord 2) If it's with remote and mic for my iPhone, that's all the better, but this is not a critical requirement 3) Decent...- Bill-P

Should cable effect quality this much?
I got a new Fiio E11 in today. Long story short, the stock cable (short, dual L-shaped plugs) makes the sound very very warm and sometimes muddy with my M50S. I didn't notice that because out of the box, I plugged the E11 into my Mac with the Monster cable that came with my Beats Solo...- Bill-P

ATH-M50 vs ATH-M50S LE impressions
My dad got the M50 coiled cord version a while ago, and I was thoroughly impressed by them, enough that I almost got a regular M50S from another Head-Fi'er, but then a family emergency came up, and just last week, I saw the LE of the M50S, and couldn't resist. So they finally came today...- Bill-P

Capriccio for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch
Considering the quality of this app, I'm surprised that we don't have a discussion about it at Head-Fi. For those who don't know, it's a music player that can take FLAC, WAV, OGG, and AIFF on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. The nice touch is that it has a 10-band equalizer, and there are...- Bill-P
