IC: Upcoming Toronto Meet
Fixed to the April 21 as that's why I meant. Thanks for the heads up. Also, April 21 is just a date I had in mind. However whoever would like to take over can select a date of their choice.- merkil

= Hifiman HE500 & HE400 Jergpad Mod v2.5 =
That's what I have on my J$ pads. A very thin nylon. I like the increased micro detail but sibilance can get annoying on tracks. For electronic it's great. I kind of want something that's inbetween without choppig up the pads. More than stock Jergpads V2 but less than transparent J$ pads. I feel...- merkil

= Hifiman HE500 & HE400 Jergpad Mod v2.5 =
You are 100% correct. This was actually one of the first things I noticed when switching from the J$ to the jergpads. Treble decreases slightly taking away the sibilance, for the most part. Although I do find that there is a bit more micro detail on the J$ pads, as expected due to my transparent...- merkil

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
HK are also nice. Unfortunately where I live they don't come up to often. They are sought after units that's for sure, I think their prices are somewhat inflated right now but you definitely have more choice of units to choose from than other vintage brands. Well at least where I live, there...- merkil

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Quote: These old 70's receivers have plenty of power and usually produce more wpc then that is stated in the manufactures specs. Do some research on 70s Marantz as I think you will enjoy that sound, a lot of people do. Fully body, tube like, listenable for hours. Look for a local deal and...- merkil

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Quote: I know on my Vintage Yamaha CR2020 I do get background noise (a hiss) but only when I raise the volume to 8 or more but would be ear splitting levels if music was playing. I would never listen at that, Im usually at 2-3 and its quiet. It could be just the receiver noise floor...- merkil

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
I'm really loving this CR2020. The detail and trasparency is just amazing for when it was built and it has a lot more power. The lower end is filled out more compared to the Asgard and all the detail to my ears is still there. My friend also agreed during A/B testing. It's definitely a keeper...- merkil

My new setup I'm trying for awhile. I have an Asgard but I think the Yamaha CR2020 is on par…if not better. I need to do more A/Bing but so far, this receiver is very clear and detailed compared to entry headphone amps. Possibly even mid level.- merkil

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Just picked up a Yamaha CR-2020. Works really well for headphones. I am very pleased to say the least. Very clear and transparent/detailed sound for that time period compared to Marantz, which is known for a more tube like sound.- merkil

Ya that's cool. Just post in the thread or shoot me a pm. We have 4 possible locations now and although none might be ideal we'll have to make one work. My plan is as follows 1) talk to FallenAngel and get an idea of what location will be best 2) choose date. I'm thinking April 6 but this...- merkil

Hey! Thanks for offering up an location. It does look really nice. How many outlets are behind the bar?? Edit: please check on the other tables. I had priced out a cafe previously but was told it would not be enough room ( table space wise for the amount of equipment) FallenAngel would be a...- merkil

HE-500, LCD2, D5000, DT770, SR80, on a speaker amp (Emotiva mini-X A-100) Project
These 22AWG RCA to 3.5mm or 22AWG RCA to RCA are the same same cables monoprice sells. So if you are not in Canada you can get them there for a very low price also.- merkil
