Dang. My family is thinking of having a picnic tomorrow so as much as I would have loved to attend, I can't. I finally have a decent headphone rig setup and would like some thoughts and opinions about it. Maybe on the next meet. Have a good time guys.

Really? How so? From what I've read and the time it was bought from, I thought it would be a Vintage B. No serial and metal gimbals. Also the bronze/reddish metal ring around the drivers. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it a lot :]

I've had my newly bought RS-1 over my ears for the whole day using the hd414 pads. I guess my ears are starting to hurt from it In all honesty, I was a little bit worried about grado comfort issues at first but I've tried the bowls, flats and the hd414 pads and I wasn't worried afterward. Yes...

I had been itching to get a higher end Grado for awhile and ran to this thread awhile back and was lucky enough to get a hold of an older RS-1. Anyway, got it from another head-fi'er. Unfortunately, the original box has gone missing and the pads, I have been told, has been totally worn out and...

Hopefully, I will join in this RS-1 bliss soon. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 1999 model RS-1. Not sure what that would put under in the RS-1 classification but I'll inspect it a bit more once I get it which should be today after I get back from work I wanted to buy an HF2 but...

My Stello DA100 Signature which I bought from insomniac arrived Thursday but I only got to play with it this weekend. First impression? Amazed on how much it improved my music library. I don't believe the Signature is fully broken in yet so we'll see if there are any changes as the hours pile up...

I am also interested in joining you guys. I'll have to check my schedule for that day. I'm hoping I'd be free.

Monoprice cables ftw! Also, I know we're all audiophiles here and most of us are willing to spend more than the market value to achieve that sound we are looking for. But seriously, 100-200+USD cables and sometimes even more? Even if there is a repeatable distinction of difference in audio...

Wrong section there buddy. Nice photos tho.

Eh..well for 400USD you could get Cambridge Audio DacMagic used. Or a new one for 429 shipped. I don't have those but I have read good things about it.

Just the cost to ship the things. I don't want to be paying 1/8th of the cost to the shipping >_> Anyway, we'll see. I'll be getting the C-2C some time in august and hopefully a DAC around that time as well? I am going to be pairing things and find what's the best equipment suits my musical...

Thanks for the recommends guys. I'll be looking into it. I was looking at the Stello DA 100 Signature and it's using a DAC chip that I am not familiar with. I'm also tempted at the Audio-GD 19MK3 but the shipping just kills the deal for me.

Hi guys, I have been saving up and finally had the chance to get some audiophile gears. I am in the process of getting the Audio-GD C-2C headphone amp from Currawong and now I am in the market for a DAC. This will take me some months to save up more but I am looking for a price range <...

I was fortunate enough to listen with my partial Markl modded D5000 with the WA5-LE at the recent Head-fi meet at NJ and I must say, it gave me goosebumps. Granted I lean more towards a warm and a bit "boomier" sound but the combination was just superb. It had a great extended bass but did not...

Great meet! It was my first time and it definitely didn't disappoint. I will look forward to it again next year. Thanks to everyone for sharing their wonderful headphone rigs. They were all a testament to how much you guys enjoy your music.

This is really is tough especially after going to the head-fi meeting in NJ yesterday. I think I'll cast my vote to wavoman's rig with the Stax 404. Everything was so clear and detailed that it was such a pleasure listening to them with almost any songs I played through it. rjoseph's D7000s was...

Getting in the shower...right after I prepare the box full of music CDs. I'll bring in blanks and my laptop as well. Can't wait~ See you guys in an hour or two >_>

Hrmm...don't have a mix or anything but I'll bring in a box full of CDs. Mostly rock and alternative rock stuff. I got trance music in my X5L as well.

Aww...I'm going to miss the raffle. Any chance you can enter/win even if you're not there later on the day?

Ok, I just got my headphones. I have the Denon's AH-D5000 that is partially Markl modded. I bought it from tim3320070. Already has 300hrs on it so it's properly burned in. My Alessandro MS-1i just arrived today and now I'm burning them in. Hopefully, I'll have close to 100hrs at least on it...

I'm a beer kind of man anyway and tim...I just might take you up for that offer. I just have a couple of questions which I'll shoot in your pm. Anyway, I've been wanting to try out non sennheiser cans and have been very interested with the denons.

This looks to be interesting but I don't have any real gear to show off I just recently joined head-fi (although I've been lurking around the forums for years) and also starting to build my headphone collection.
