Time for our 9th (or is it 8th) meet. Anyhow, Lawrence KS Saturday, January 10 I’ll be sending pm’s to those that I know already. More details to come …

Kansas City - Lawrence - and beyond. I know the usual suspect will be in. Not yet sure of my travel schedule. Possibly early November? Thoughts please ...

Found this interesting - just putting this out there ... Great headphones for home - CNN.com How about this from mainstream media - a real worthwhile (and non-Bose!) recommedation. Strange URL though - (Denton?)

Meet in Lawrence, KS Saturday, September 15th, 1 pm – whatever Looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces here in Lawrence, KS, just 40 miles or so west of Kansas City. Over the next several days, I will PM the folks who have expressed interest. If you are interested in coming...

Hello All, I am wondering about possible upgrades for the Stax SRD-7 adaptor. With my SRX-MK3's it really sounds great hooked up to a Fisher tube amp, better soundstage and overall more musical to my ears than the Stax SRM-1/MK2 amp. Problem is I detect some distortion on loud passages...

OK guys, here's more notice than before the mini meet last summer. Time to start thinking about another get together. Maybe some folks from Nebraska or St Louis might want to buzz over? Some possible dates: Saturday March 17 Saturday March 24 Saturday March 31 Nice weather will...

Oops, clicked in wrong forum. Sorry!

Classical Music Shootout: AD2000, HD650/600, K701/K501 (sorry, this is a very longwinded read) I’ve thought about doing something like this for a while, and now that I’ve accumulated a nice stable of highly regarded cans to play with, it’s fun to listen to them all and compare how they...

Hey Guys, It's been about 10 months now. Time to catch up. I've got a bunch of gear that I'm going to be selling, so I thought you guys might like to hear some of this stuff before I move it on out. The fire sale will begin in about 3 weeks or so. Of course, always good to visit and try...

There are a bunch of little termite sellers on ePay dumping the AD700s for cheap, I've seen as low as $106. They are presented as new in box. I've always wanted to have an AD series phone just for fun to see what they're all about. There is a review on Headphonics that compares them to the...

I have had the Beyer DT-880s for several months and have really enjoyed them. I recently acquired the Sennheiser HD-650 and have been doing some A/B-ing with similar amps playing simultaneously off the same source. The results are in. Both are glorious, but both could benefit from each other’s...

Hey Guys, It's been too long now. How about a meet on Saturday afternoon, March 26 at my place in Lawrence? We can use the living room this time – two steps up from the driveway. Lots of room for people, gear, etc. My Fisher 500C should be back from its physical by then, so we can run that as...

If anyone cares, here’s what happens when I get a little idle time around the holidays. To satisfy my own curiosity, I’ve been doing some critical headphone listening, mostly with some of my vintage amps and receivers that I’ve accumulated over the past few years. Music was mostly varied...

Fisher questions for the Vintage & Tube Guys I enjoy reading the posts from mkmelt, tuberoller, and some of you other tube cats on this forum, Vintage Asylum, and Audio Karma. I’d like to pick your brains - I have a Fisher 500c in original condition. It sounds pretty darned good with...

OK folks in Texas- I have a plan, don't know how good it is but we'll make it work if we want to - I will be at the Temple LaQuinta Inn starting tommorrow. I have reserved the hotel dining area for a mini meet this Sunday evening, maybe around 5 or 6. There will be a tube audiophile...

Not earth-shattering developments here, but after hearing folks complain about the DT 880 having a short coiled cord, it almost put me off to them. I just bought some that have a 10' straight cord, and they still threw in the extension too. 'Thought some may be interested in this. They sound...

Does anyone have any expeience with the Carver C1 preamp for headphone use? I like all of he inputs/outputs & features - not sure if the sonic halography will do anythng for me. I have a chance to pick one up for about $100 or so at a pawn shop. Is it any better, or as good as my Marantz 1060...
