I have a 902 on the way to me to use in my office for my first computer as a source system. I know that the USB input only allows for 16 bit and 44/48 mhz while all other digital inputs can upsample to 24/192. Am I going to have to get some kind of usb sound card for my work laptop to get...

I was impressed to find a $50 Best Buy gift card in my mail box this morning and an offer to give me gift cards in exchange for all of my HD-DVD hardware and software that I want to trade in. Seemed like a pretty nice thing to do as I was an early adopter and have had my Toshiba HD-A1 for two...

I have decided to upgrade the digital source for my headphone setup. I currently use my trusty Sony DVP-S9000es for all digital work in this system. In this instance I really want to go balanced to get the best out of the Stax 007t that I am using while I await a new amp for my Omega IIs and...

Hey guys, I started a two month business trip today and found when I got on the plane that while I brought my Westone case, the case is empty and I have no headphones. I am going to take the opportunity to buy a new set of IEMs. I have not looked at them in a while but it appears that Westone...

I got an e-mail announcing the debut of: Sony Hybrid M-CH/Stereo SACD $18.99 Sony BMG Masterworks and Zenph® Studios invite you to hear Glenn Gould’s renowned 1955 rendition of the Bach Goldberg Variations like you’ve never experienced it before. NEW Recording! A sonic rediscovery of...

Well Steve just sent me some pictures of my new tri-level headphone stand and they are definitely worthy of sharing with everyone. This is a large stand and according to Steve the most involved he has ever made. Each inset on the stand is a different type of wood and the wood as can be seen is...

It looks like I will be moving to our Reston office next month and I could use some advice on apartments in the Reston/Herndon area or the surrounding area with an easy commute to Reston and a passable commute to D.C. Any places to avoid would also be appreciated as this will be a rather rapid...

I got my new Headphone stand from swt61 in the mail today. Absolutely beautiful work. Now I need to decide which headphone deserves to use the stand so I will let you guys choose. I would have made it a poll but I don't seem to have that option. Let me know which you would choose.

Well Jahn asked me to get the ball rolling as I left a bit early while the meet was still going full swing. I want to first thank Jahn for the location as it was great, as was all the food and drinks provided by members. I got to hear some equipment that I had never heard before and thought most...

Showed up today just in time to try to get it packed full of headphones for the Dallas meet in a few weeks. I will give it my first test next week traveling with the K1000s, K340s, RS-1 and Stax SR-404s checked in baggage. As long as they don't run over the case with the plane I think they...

I really didn't need another set of headphones but I just couldn't pass up the deal. Just got a used set of SRS-4040 with the 006t power supply off of Audiogon. Been meaning to try out a set and these looked to be in pretty good condition...

Looks like Thrice is closing shop. That's too bad, he was making some nice amps. http://www.rockhopperaudio.com/

I decided to crash in my corporate apartment on the river tonight and was startled by loud explosions outside. It is on the 30th Floor and overlooks New York Harbor. Well tonight they set of the fireworks from directly below my building so I snapped a few shots. Enjoy.

Well Bozebuttons forced me to listen to his highly modified Melos SHA-Gold at the last NYC mini-meet for over an hour. Then he even went as far as telling me where I could get a stock one of my own. Of course his sounded so good I couldn't resist getting one myself so today this arrives...

Well I have my pictures ready so I figured I would go ahead and start the thread. The meet was a great success with some very nice equipment and quite a bit of variety. I mostly will just post pictures since that is what everyone wants. The rack with Bozebutton's Gear. Krell, Melos and...

Larry sent me a picture of my upgraded K340s with the full Philodox treatment sans wooden ear pieces. Now I just need to decide upon a balanced amp. Probably between Ray's new amp the B52 and a Singlepower balanced amp. Of course a Dynamite might be in the cards. I can't wait to get my...

I figured it was a good idea to post a thread in which NYC residents can post empty seats in their vehicles for those people that don't have cars and people staying in Manhattan hotels. I am sure there are people in the city that will need a ride as they will be carrying amps, headphones...

Well since I joined this site in January I have gone from a seldom used set of Grado SR-60s and my daily use Shure E3c to Cardas Cabled Sennheiser HD-650, Beyerdynamic DT-880, Grado SR-225, Headamp Gilmore Dynamic SE/V2, Meier Corda Aria and now AKG 340. I picked these up this afternoon from a...

Hello, everyone. I have been lurking for a week after I decided I need a headphone setup for after-hours listening. I purchased Beyerdynamic DT-880s here in town at B&H and am going to buy an amp now. The sources they will be used with consist of: VPI Scoutmaster/Acoustech PH1 Premium Analog...
