Unfortunately I am in Australia. There's a place I can send my Phonitor to, but I am worried about costs (And the service center were ambiguous in this regard, telling me it "could be anything" which had my wallet shaking) and not sure it would be economically efficient to get it repaired or...

Yep I am. I have had it in the shop and no help so it's just sitting there doing nothing. I was going to sell it but I can't really while it's doing that. I believe it's one of the OP amps but I am not sure for certain.   At first I thought it might have been a noisy pot but that turned out to...

Well, I finally got so annoyed with the cable on this headphone I decided to make my own. Cost me about 15 bucks.       I know it doesn't look super awesome but it only took about an hour to whack together, I am sure if I put more thought into it it would have come out a lot nicer. And...

Does the cable drive anyone else Bananas on the X? I guess with all the Audeze models. Mine keeps tangling itself or twisting itself into knots. Weird thing is only use it at the same spot and it still does it. 

Ah that was going to be my next question hehe. Well, I'm definitely interested in this beast, so I am off to try and find somewhere near me that might have it in stock for me to listen to.

Wow you can do that? I thought you had to go through a dealer.

They were my first real high end ones as well. Aside from the HD 650 I guess but I don't count those. I think I am going to keep mine. There's a lot of memories (all good ones) locked up in those cans.   I might even *Gulp* give them away. I don't want to sell them for some reason. Perhaps a...

  Hehe.   Maybe try and find somewhere to listen to them :). I took a bit of a gamble, but I live in Australia which is not the place to be if you want to try these things if you don't want to travel 2000 kms to the store that has them in stock. Maybe you will find they aren't to your...

Hey,   Sure I am at the moment using a SPL Phonitor. But I have been running the Xs out of the headphone out of my MDAC the last few days as well, as the Phonitor was in getting looked at as I am thinking of selling it. The MDAC isn't as good and it still performs at low levels. Even out of my...

One of the things I love about these is that they perform extraordinarily well at low volume levels. I keep finding myself turning the volume down, and down. Amazing.    I already listen at low volume levels. Everyone who listens to my gear turns the volume up significantly so this is high...

Haha, that's awesome. And... true :''(

I'm definitely interested in your impressions :). 

Yeah he is, I got an email from him just yesterday telling me it will perhaps be week and a half till the new store front is up. He also said there will be some new goodies like new wire and other things. He said he's taking orders in the next few days.

I do!   Hehe. Mind you though I listen to a lot of music and not just prog rock/metal. There's an awful lot of classical in my play list right now, I am liking pretty much all of it. Jazz too. Was kicking back to some Miles Davis earlier and it was so awesome.

Hehe, Saw this and put mine on. It sounds great :). Listening to it now.   I have been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd since I got mine. A band called Haken, Steven Wilson, Opeth. Tchaikovsky, Bach, Saint-Saens, Tool, Devin Townsend, King Crimson. There's been a lot more and it's all...

/Shrug. I have never heard it so I will save my judgement till then. I can't imagine it would make any difference whatsoever. I heard all sorts of things about it and I thought the attraction was that you had to record differently for the format. Turns out most of the stuff is recorded in PCM...

I actually use PowerAmp myself. So yeah it works with anything I have thrown at it. Even though for some reason the stock music player won't do FLAC.    Yeah they are slightly warm. But I don't think you would call them warm cans. 

Well, usually I don't use the DAC section of the Intruder I use my ODAC for that through my phone. Which I have to say is pretty sweet. The cans I have are PSB M4U2. I think they are pretty Neutral maybe just a tad warm but those also are pretty sweet.   I am curious to see what the upgarded...

Well, I just got my LCD-X. Right in the middle of lunch.    I calmly completed my mastication, then proceeded to my room and closed the door gently and with purpose.    I am running them out of my Phonitor and I'll be honest if this is the Phonitor not driving these headphones correctly I...

I have the HTC One on stock software and yes the intruder works, listening to it right now. Pretty mellow. I might email Ray and ask if I can send mine in for an upgrade :).

Well, I ordered mine today after much procrastinating. Should be here tomorrow or the day after.

I am surprised Schiit didn't advertise them as "Piles" instead of "Stacks" .   I dunno, it sounded funnier in my head.  

I'm off to inhale some DSD.   Ciao for now :)

I guess there can be a lot of snobbery in Audio. I do see a lot of it at Head-Fi that's for certain, a lot of it unjustified.   I reckon it's true also that there is still a lot of snake oil floating around for people to waste their money on.    It can certainly be taken too far.   I think...

Yeah I do.   Actually I think MP3 sounds pretty good at 320kbps. But that's a bit besides the point, I understand what you're saying.   I think marketing can do a lot. I also think that Beats in particular were targeted at a very specific demographic. Certainly I am often bemused by the fact...
