Massdrop username: askjeebs   I'd like to see a special Massdrop edition CIEM drop at some point, ideally mid to mid-high range (<$1000).

I received the demo kit today in working order, although some of the shells (as pointed out earlier) are a bit rough around the edges. Listening was done through an Audio-GD NFB-28 at low gain.     Quick impressions:   I am not the most articulate person when it comes to describing sound...

Timetable for next term allowing, I'd like to jump in as well if you'll have me.   I live in Merrylands, NSW and would like to participate in the tour. I agree to follow the terms of the tour.

  You also need Windows 8 for 32bit to show up as a choice.

HE-500 here and loving it.

Just for your future benefit max one, try not to quote whole posts if your reply is only a few lines. Particularly if the quoted post is over a foot long/has lots of pictures. People will appreciate it if long quotes are snipped/only a few specific lines are quoted.    Otherwise enjoy your...

  Bring the LCD-XC and I will actually love you forever.

Also interested in coming along, can bring an HE-500.

Yes, putting in the jumper only disables the volume control in pre-amp/DAC out mode. The volume control still works in headphone mode.

I just got my Focuspads (non-A) and the internal diameter is just over 5.5cm (definitely not 6cm).   Other than that the things are pretty much angled, softer Jergpads. Nothing to complain about stitching-wise.   The pads are glued to the mounting rings and have a short lip over the ring...

  This was mine for the first week while waiting for glue to arrive:  

I don't know if this is an obvious thing (clearly it wasn't for me) but if you wanted to treat/coat/paint your transformers, mounting plate and plate chokes, make sure you do so before you mount and wire them up. You can leave them untreated/coated but they will rust a bit. They may also be...

This is another vouch for Trevor's amazing service. He was an absolute gentleman when working through the minor shipping issue that occurred with my order.   The cable itself is beautiful, and even little things like the logos on the heatshrink line up with each other. 10ft black sleeved...

What's the parking like at the leisure centre?   I can confirm I will be going, bringing my Bottlehead S.E.X + ODAC + HE-500s. I can also bring an Aune T1 if anyone is interested (buyitfromme hinthinthintnudgenudge).   Will have to leave around 4ish though.

Wow, that's great! Good thing I already have a pair of V3s, or my wallet would never forgive me.

  I know it's not answering your question, but is that solid core wire? Most of the Bottlehead wiring is solid core. If I had to use stranded wire as hookup wire for the S.E.X I probably would've shot myself a few times.   On second thought that's probably an over-exaggeration. Nothing...

Probably when they put you on hold.

Sleeving on the Draug would turn it into an electron hose, as has been aptly put before in this thread. The sleeved Skoll is already about as thick as a pinky finger and looks like it barely gets into some of the connectors.

Liked, followed, bring on the goodness.

I too will attempt to make it there. This is what I can bring along:   -Bottlehead S.E.X with C4S/impedance switch mod -HE-500s with jergpads + Norne cables (if they arrive in time) -DT880s (250 ohm) -ODAC/O2   -Aune T1 that I've almost never used if anyone is interested     What's...

Who's going to be the first to try ordering something? I would but they don't yet have everything I'm after on the website (no speaker taps).

Here's hoping that clover day of March comes soon. Waiting for this site to go up is painful.   My wallet is appreciating the wait though.

I managed to grab one of these from eBay and thought I'd share the internals for anyone interested:         I can't hear any added noise when all my gear is connected to it. The selector knob chooses one of the rear inputs and outputs to all four front outputs at the same time. I have...

Just thought I'd share my experiences in making a pair of Jergpads with the aid of a soldering iron.     It probably wasn't a good idea to do the bigger holes with the iron, I found that I ended up with a lot of black gunk fused to the foam on the inside. I was able to clean the holes up...

I've ordered one as well. Now to play the waiting game (I've been waiting over a month so far for another package to arrive from china).
