Official 2016 SF Head-Fi Meet Impressions Thread - July 16, 2016
I really hope you are talking about maxing the ZDS (it was the eddie current with tubes). If you were indeed talking about the maxing the BW man I feel bad because there is no way you just didn't kill your ears (we are talking 90db+ listening levels). They were @ohhgourami modded by the...- velvetx

Good news is I am thankful I am alive as I was concerned that @DecentLevi's Tower Of Babel was going to burn the place down. Want to start off by thanking Wikia for hosting and as always big thanks to @third_eye and @jude for organizing this amazing meet. Was a real pleasure to meet the...- velvetx

Actually it's not the chassis of the newest one as this one was a ZD turned into a ZDS.- velvetx

Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.
Nope not directed at you at all just reinforcing that this type of modding shouldn't be supported. It should actually be laughed at and shunned.- velvetx

Feliks-Audio ELISE...New thread.
Actually I don't think it takes away from the Elise at all. From everyone's findings here it seems to me like a very capable tube amp. However, the "modded" Elise is something you do at your own risk. The fact that Feliks Audio is fixing this is going above and beyond and I hope that is...- velvetx

@warrenpchi I am in for the new Liquid Tungsten Tube Audition. Best tube amp I've extensively heard to date is the Eddie Current Studio (I won't add the Orpheus 2 and HFM Electrostat as these were short listening sessions).- velvetx

You may not care whether or not there is a members area but there are people who obviously do. You can't discount them and say based on your own sole experience there is a feeling of community at CanJams because for others there obviously isn't (they have voiced it). CanJam is a trade...- velvetx

I think you are missing the point regarding the member area. Regardless of how big or small it is there should always be one as head-fi is a member driven community. Obviously events have to get paid for (which sponsors do a great job helping out to make these happen) to be able to continue...- velvetx

I am not 100% sure what you are talking about. I know that some members were critical to the fact that there was no member element but instead more of a commercial theme to the event. I am hoping to rally some more members together which is the reason why I posted because I think member...- velvetx

It has been brought to my attention that the member showcase may be cancelled due to lack of participation. A few prominent members have dropped out and there is still plenty of room if you plan to be there both days and would like to bring your gear. This is actually the first time I have...- velvetx

The State of Personal Audio - Discussion & Competition!
1) I know a lot of people may disagree but the biggest developments in personal/portable audio are smartphones and to a more audio related specific extent the further development of the iPod. People may not like Apple products but numbers don’t lie and in 2015 alone 2.3 billion iPhones were...- velvetx

Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!
It's an unofficial preorder system. You can complain all you want but honestly they have nothing to answer for as they didn't do anything wrong. Everyone will get their shiny new gear and the world will once again be balanced. There are going to be plenty of places to order the HD800S trust me.- velvetx

SF MASSDROP HEADFI MEET IMPRESSIONS - 11/7/15
Really a great sounding setup. I am going to build the bottlehead crack first then look into the project because I want to compare the two and since I found the crack first that will be my first DIY project.- velvetx

Reply to review by 'velvetx' on item 'FiiO X7'
Thanks for posting your review. However, and others can feel free to chime in here. In your blind testing results the fact that you can't discern between the x3ii, x5ii, and x7 in sound quality means that if you are buying this player then it's for the features (no need to upgrade). Hands down...- velvetx
