12pm / Flogging Molly - Float 1:30 / Mavis Staples - One True Vine

  Indeed, a great flick and wonderful soundtrack 

Quick sonic journey update,   Mastodon is drilling their sweet thunder through my skull at the moment ( Mastodon - The Hunter ) - massive monster-bliss wave! These D5Ks are riding the lightning for sure (erm, wait...). Previously I had experienced a fantastic Decca Cello+ recording ( Elgar &...

  An enjoyable juxtaposition to be sure   Side note on the Mastodon play through - their sound signature DESTROYS (in a good way!) in these D5ks!

  The M/M stack pairs well with the D5ks   Like the Momentums in this setup before, the stack provides more than enough power to drive 'em. The soundstage opened up quite a bit with the Denon's and though they swim on the dark side, the experience is quite live. I have found some limits in...

  Hey Autra,   Yeah - I was using an extension cable at first and realized after going through all kinds of setup permutations to isolate the issue that it was grabbing RF and inserting it into my signal. It is possible that the line coming out from your Qs may be the culprit, but I'm not...

Started watching the vid again (because I'm an addict. First step to recovery = CHECK!) So much info and continuous descriptive takes - well executed, Jude. I kind of considered the Audeze phones a bit out of my present range of Head-Fi-ness but I can't stop thinking about them now lol...

  Oh, schiit  I was just about to suit up my main listening station at home with some Bifrost/Lyr action, but if there's awesomesauce 'round the corner at CanJam...   Must...not...pull...trigger... /waits

Probably be a lot of this at RMAF:     Especially re: Audeze, Fostex & JHAudio     ...and apparently Schiit! *giddy!*

  hmm...sounds like your chain is intact. Perhaps the Y-cable has a failure point? Or the 1/4 adapter may be loose?   Your mention of 'Modi' may have been a typo, but just in case - do you have a usbDAC connected and configured? If so that would need to run to the Magni directly.   Other...

  Glad you got that sorted!

  Hey lolwatpear,   Just checking the obvious first - is your 3.5 connected to the 'sound out' port on your mobo? Also, do you have your sound prefs directing audio output to a specific device or port other than the mobo sound out?   Is the Magni switched on?

  I forgot to respond to this part - I do that too Varied results, but mostly improves that area of the spectrum.     A fair inference, Deaffob. I would really classify myself more as an audiophile-student in this dojo, open to new teachings and not necessarily an endGame Master of the...

  If only my pay cycle was more frequent and/or more abundant *leSigh*. Stop tempting me beyond what I can bear, Head-Fi!     Interesting point. Since I am fortunate enough to have a closed door individual workspace, I haven't had anyone complain about sound leaks, and I haven't been...

      She is so amazing and worth every penny spent on her works, IMO. I too, am in the midst of adding to my Hiromi collection. Truly, a vibrant wellspring of talent
