Hey guys, So my Singlepower ES-2 developed a problem shortly after it arrived back from the International Meet. I don't think any of the issues had to do with its transportation, but rather something that was probably going to happen sooner or later. The issue which has developed is the...

Does anyone know of a high end rack mountable (preferable but not necessary) headphone amp that has multiple outs w/ volume control on each out, and with AES/EBU Digital in? Thanks! Neil

Hey Headfiers, Does anyone know where Mikhail is? has anyone tried to contact him recently? He is totally MIA, mailbox full, and basically washed off the face of the earth. This is concerning because he is harboring a VERY expensive amp. This is very upsetting - since, as we all know...

Well, it has been a long time in the making. And those of you who have been following its progress know exactly how long. All things eventually come to an end (even waiting!), and happily, I can now say that I finally have within my reach (I would say hands, but I would likely contract a hernia...

Hi, I am looking to connect my HD650 (or HD600's) directly to my EMM Labs DCC2 SE Preamp. I need to convert the cardas balanced cable male ends to female. Will anybody be bringing such an adapter cable? I would like to use this at the international meet. I am getting Stefan Audioart to make...

Hey guys & gals, So, I got a chance to listen to an NWO 2.5t at designer Alex Paychev's house today. For those of you who don't know, this is a CD/DVD-A/SACD player designed by Apl HiFi based off of the Esoteric UX-1. It basically uses the chassis and the VRDS transport of the UX-1, and...

So I get the familiar 'missed package' slip. Luckily I'm chill with the local FedEx guy, so he calls me up and I go pick up the 'package'. I actually had no idea what it could be: So of course I open it, duh: And then I remember! And Further Investigation yields I was...

In the Interest of getting as many views as possible, I am submitting this link here as well to an issue in my system: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...68#post2621968 Neil

hey guys - maybe you might know about this: So this morning when I woke up, I heard a strange popping or thumping sound coming from my living room. So I walk to it and realize my right speaker is pumping in and out and making a popping or thumping sound. I see that my DCC2 (preamp) is on even...

Hey guys (and gals), So I just got a pair of UE10's. Excellent company to deal with, and an apparently excellent product. However, upon handling the monitors, it became painfully obvious how inept I was at actually figuring out how to insert these things. After reading the manual and a couple...

I have a pretty decent system: PSAudio P600 EMM Labs DCC2 / CDSD Sennheiser HEV90 / HE90 All Virtual Dynamics Masters & Revelations Power Cords and IC. The only thing I did not have was a VD Cable going from the wall to the PSAudio. For this I had a PSAudio Plus Power Cable. Now to...

This meet is in response to this thread (page 5): http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...=1#post2436378 I'm basically thinking we can have a small get together at my apartment for those who are really interested in hearing the following: K1000 ; Pass Labs Aleph 3 & Firstwatt F1 HE90 ...

Hello everyone, This is for those lucky people who have an electrostatic setup and a very hi end source. I have the option of acquiring the EMM Labs DCC2 + CDSD combo, I currently have an HEV90, but will shortly have an ES-1. If anyone can give me some advice that would be much appreciated...

Hey guys, I'm curious- We at Headfi are lovers of high fidelity sound darting into our ears at close proximity. That is undebateable (well I bet it is). The question, what are you guys generally looking for? Euphony - Agreeable sound, especially in the phonetic quality of words; any...

Has anyone had this upgrade done to their squeezebox? I have an Esoteric D70 DAC which I send the optical out from the Squeezebox into. However, to my (slight) surprise, the Esoteric DV50 transport sounds miles and miles better (with CD) than the exact same thing ripped onto my computer and...

I just read the 'HE90, worth $8K?' thread/poll and it got me thinking... Is there a point at which the enjoyment becomes so great that it completely obscures the cost associated with attaining such an item? Assuming one can afford said $$$$$ item in the first place. For example, I don't even...

Not sure which section to put this in, so here is a link: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...27#post1953727 Neil

Hi All, So as some of you may know, I recently acquired a complete Orpheus Headphone System. When this system was setup at my parents place in Saratoga, there was absolutely a clean black background. I have a PSAudio P600 and a Shunyata Hydra-2. At my parents place, both of these devices and...

So, this is the room where some of my headphone listening goes down... and here is this room with a package in it today (??): So of course I open it up... I mean, duh, a package in my theatre gets opened! I'm like... What? HD650's don't come in wood boxes?!?! So of course, I open...

Hopefully someone here can help me out, but there seems to be sparse information on this subject: To HEV90 or Not? I was hoping by this point some impressions of the long awaited (and still awaiting) Aristaeus would have been forthcoming, but alas, nothing. I have had an opportunity to buy an...

Hey all, I wasn't totally sure what forum this should have gone in, but since it directly related to my L3k's, I will post it here: I have noticed that with some specific eq'ing of the midrange and adding some 'air' in the upper treble regions (and for fun, boosting the bottom end, but...

So I've been wondering about this combo... Has anyone tried the newer version? Neil

So I'm not very knowledgable about computer soundcards, etc... I searched around a bit, and found some conflicting info. Some like the Audigy 2ZS, some like the EMU 0404 and 1212... What I want is the best possible computer sound setup possible for audio only, not games. I am considering...

Does anyone use a modified power supply for the HEV70? If so, what kinds of sonic differences do you notice and where can I get one? I've noticed that this amp takes at least 30 min and up to a few hours to really shine... listening to this combo cold produces a very 'unbalanced' sonic...

Hey guys, I've tried searching and was unable to find anything specific: Is there a stand-alone HIGH Quality Crossfeed circuit available? I'd like to try something to put between a high quality amp and cdp that would minimize signal loss/distortions. I don't want to lose a high quality...
