Has anyone tested these with a vintage receiver? I haven’t owned any headphones in years but have been thinking about getting back into it. I don’t want to clutter up my space with more stuff, so I would like to use my Pioneer SX-950. I remember it did great with my LCD-2 and LCD-3. It also did...

I have owned a few pairs of Audeze and have had to deal with them one or twice. They were very nice, and professional. Assuming the deatails of the heist that have been posted here are correct, it sounds like the thieves had a plan. That leads me to assume they also have a plan to sell them. I...

Looks like you are working on a nice sysyem. I would like to build a theater at some point, but I will also have to wait until I move. Until then the 50in will due. Unfortunatly due to the house layout I can't even use my stereo with movies. I cant cover the Window with a TV. Well I am okay with...

I sold off my headphone gear and moved back to a 2 channel system. Everything except the Mac Mini hiding in the back, I bought over the last few weeks. That is a PWD MkII, Pass X350.5 and B&W N802. The sound is fantastic. It has so much headroom; I have to play it above comfortable levels to get...

Quote:   I realize I am a but late to this party, but want to mention I had the exact same thing happen with my SR-507. I was not as unfortunate as you, as only one of mine broke. I looked around for a while to find someone who could use my unbroken part as a template to build me a new...

Have you had any malfunctions thus far? I have thought about trading my custom HK45 for a 1911. I need one with a threaded barrel and the TRP is one of the few 1911s I have seen with that option.

I would still be happy to attend a meet, but I have sold most of my headphone stuff. I still have the W4S DAC and SX-950 but I use them with my speakers.  I sold most of it off slowly to help pay for school and other expenses as they came up. When I accumulated more discretionary income I ended...

I smoke shisha (tobacco) out of mine. I recently ran across the tobacco free stuff online, which sounds interesting. I owned a hookah a few years ago, but it broke. I spent the last month in Israel, which renewed my interest in hookah. The new one smokes so easily that it is almost odd. It takes...

I just got this in a few days ago. It is a 38" Khalil Mamoon Trimetal hookah with 64" KM washable hose, Flip bowl, and Heba diffuser. Don't worry, I don't smoke it near my gear. That is just where I keep when clean.  

The first option should sound better. Think of it this way. Option one goes   Digital > Analog   The second option is   Digital > Analog > Digital > Analog   How could the second scenario be Superior?

Yes, it was well said. What happens to Hennyo is out of my hands. I am going to take a step back, and stop posting in this thread. I am trying to put the situation behind me as best I can, and talking about it on a regular basis is not going to help. I hope the thread does not die away, as new...

I just added my recording from AIX to the collection.

Quote:   I assumed that was true, and I am sure it still is to some degree but having heard the PRIRs from Jose, I am changing my mind. I flew to LA to get recordings done at AIX. I am currently using Jose's recording of the Sashas setup from Glenn Poor's over my own AIX recording. Maybe...

Thanks a bunch. I was starting to feel like the Local police route would not get much accomplished. That sounds like the way to go.

The Realiser's input may me set to the HDMI instead of the analog. That is the first thing I would check.

Quote:   I have no desire to contact Mike again. I had been been asking for him to return my money in private a few times over the last couple of months. I started to realize that he had been lying, and was in over his head. When I reached the end of my patience I threatened to out him if...

^ that made me laugh super hard.

Quote:   I have his address and phone number.    Quote:   You are right to some degree. I am uneducated when it comes to this field. I did not make my decision based on his word alone. I thought I had vetted him well enough, but I was wrong.   It was a lesson learned, and I...

It was not "custom work". It was his second amp, and was supposed to represent his standard commercial offering. I did not ask for particular parts or anything like that. He told me he was beginning to build KGSSHV commercially and was willing to give me a discount for being one of his first...

Quote:     While I agree, I did not have to send him the money, I did it to be nice. He appeared to be low on cash due to his investment in amp parts. We never agreed to the conditions of the deposit, so its status was a bit ambiguous.  Of course it later became clarified, when he...

Here are a few posts from him.   20 Jan 2012   Well, if that's the case, I can do it a little bit cheaper for you. I can understand that you're a college student too. I could do 2,950.00$ and no less. I am an EE / EET student/major. And DiY my own EStats if that's any extra qualification...

I have never trusted paypal protection outside of Ebay. I should have sent money as a payment though, so I could have used my AMEX card. They on the other hand, provide good buyer protection.    I will look through the PMs I have later, but I do not recall any explicit discussion related to...

I thought everyone else should know to stay very far away from Hennyo. A few months ago I posted an add for a KGSS / SRM-717. He solicited me to build a KGSSHV. I agreed and discussions began. After a while I decided to trust him enough to send $500 to hep him cover parts. I later told him I did...
