Reply to review by 'j&j' on item 'Sennheiser HD 600'
I once asked a HF member here with an awesome collection of high end cans inc Stax planars and just about every flagship model why he still had the Senn HD 600 and not to my surprise as I also own them he stated that they were simply the most natural sounding of all his collection and got lotsa...- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Just curious as to the Manhattan Project Living here in N.M near Los Alamos I have to ask Will you be using fission or fusion as power source and if you go the fission route as I suggest you should think big fans and giant heat sinks- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
OK I say it before you F--- me but the truth is your products are underpriced not because a higher $ will confer more respect but because the performance/price ratio is out of whack with other stuff out there and either you are the most altruistic ethical business guy in the world or you are...- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Roaches (not the smoking variety) for whatever reason have an attraction to electronics. I'm guessing if you have a roach problem and the exterminator comes you tell them not to spray or put anything near your precious equipment. and some smart bugs figured it out.- J&J

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
I am hesitant to disagree with the bright informed members here at HF but there are audiophiles still spending hundreds of thousands on 2channel speaker systems so I imagine these stats will fly off the shelves. The millionaires/billionaires routinely buy $100,000.00 for Patek watches so the...- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Thank you Jason!!! for validating what I've learned about this hobby that is it is driven by paranoia the feeling that someone out there is hearing more detail sound stage, dynamic range, tighter bass, treble sparkle etc you all know the buzz words. Just to illustrate the point I have a lot of...- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
IMHO always trying to make it better and cheaper can limit Schiit. Better yes but high end audio meaning spending big bucks for small SQ improvements is a fact of life in the hobby and the number of consumers willing to buy big ticket items especially from a nitch boutique manufactory (with your...- J&J

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Just read the chapter and Jason's comments the part about CEOs that plan for the future and ignore NOW ( = earnings quarterly report card ) Isn't that what happened to Carly Fiorina GOP candidate and former CEO of HP. She probably saved the company in the long run by downsizing employees and...- J&J

Official New York Spring Meet 5.2.15 Impressions
Attended show for a short time this afternoon. As always the vendors and member exhibitors were amazingly generous with their time and toys. It seems the HP Amp de jure was a Decware Taboo a fine piece of equipment making a wide variety of phones perform at their best especially the Planars...- J&J

Starter Tube AMPs
For A. Dogs I recommend a Schiit LYR V1/V2 or a G1217 Solstice/Ember from my listening experience. Planars really perform best when you throw some power at them. The Valhalla might not be the best match for the A. Dogs- J&J

Starter Tube AMPs
I can en enthusiastically recommend any G1217 tube amp a Schiit Valhalla or Lyr v1 from personal use experience. Check out the FS section for one of these for at a bargain especially if they are an earlier version as everyone here including me sell the old one to buy the newest version but...- J&J

Garage1217 Project Solstice
From my experience if you are using Planars the extra power from the Lyr v1 or v2 really makes a difference otherwise the PS is all you really need to enjoy the nuances off tube rolling I've been a big advocate of the PS on these forums and think it's an outstanding wonderful sounding amp- J&J

Garage1217 Project Solstice
I use a ZMF modded T50 ortho with my PS using a socket adapter and a Sylvania 12sn7 tube. No lack of power and real smooth tubey sq and great 3d sound stage ( 6sn7/12sn7 tubes have great 3d soundstage ) Same headphone with my more powerful Sciit Lyr 1 pushes out a little more bass but overall I...- J&J

Garage1217 Project Solstice
As far as 9pin tubes for Ember or Solstice the Amperex Bugle Boys are my favorite the Orange Globes 2nd. I never liked the German or British tubes as much as some members here. To my ears they lack the resolving detail of the Amps. As far as American 9pin 6 or 12v as a general impression I have...- J&J

Garage1217 Project Solstice
The Solstice with the 12sn7 adapter and tube rocks. This is a very impressive Amp with all my hps inc planars especially considering it's price and small, really small foot print I love my Ember but this amp might actually rise the bar for 1217 amps IMHO- J&J

Project Ember Tube Rolling
If you can afford the additional $45.00 get the SC option installed on your Ember and also buy the 6sn7 adapter The reason being the ability to use tubes with higher heater current like the 12bh7 a wonderful sounding tube and the 6sn7 which I believe has .6 amp heater current and would need the...- J&J
