Quote: I would love to listen to your AD2000s if you're willing to bring it out. =)

Just purchased tickets to the event. Looking forward to meeting you guys. I was wondering if any of you guys will be bringing any AMB Labs amps or DACs. I wanted to check some of those out before I decide to order a kit online to build.

Since quite a lot of people were turned away about the high price of the Dark Star, why not build your own like the Beta 22 from AMB Labs. I was wondering how the amp compares to something like the AMB Labs Beta 22 or Beta 24 since they're both balanced amps or perhaps even the RSA Apache if...

I acquired a Little Dot Micro Tube from one of my friends and I'm having a lot of problems with noise. Source: Desktop Computer Sound Card: Audigy 2ZS Headphones: Audio Technica AD700s Ground Loop Isolator: PAC (Pacific Audio Accessory) I added a ground loop isolator mainly used for...

These were my very first set of headphones and step into high end headphones. I'm sure both you and your friend will be pretty happy with the headphones. I usually run my headphones using my PC as my source, but since then I got a small little CMOY headphone amp from my friend that he got...

I wish I could attend the meet, but I have a meeting to take care on Saturday and my buddy with some pretty sweet headphone gear is going to be out of town too. I guess I'll just for the next meet. It was nice meeting edwood and iron_dreamer at the meet out in the Valley that 909 set up about...

Since you seem like you're a fan of Focal products, I thought you might enjoy this. It's apparently a BMW 330ci with Focal Utopia Be 3-way setup. Lots of carbon fiber and carbon kevlar. Lots of construction pictures and very very well built and over the top. Carbon Project Belgium - Page 11...

Nice set up. I'm not sure if you've heard of diymobileaudio or elitecaraudio.com They're good resources for high end car audio and people who appreciate and are more into SQ than db drags or SPL competitions. I'm currently running a DLS Iridium 6.3 setup with Altomobile subwoofer. I'm also...

Unfortunately, I will be extremely busy the next few months. I don't think I'll have the time to setup any meets for a while. I'm very sorry about that. Any other college kids that might be able to set something up at their school?

Thanks for being so generous. I've never entered one of these contests before, so here goes. Happy New Year.

I was just wondering if it was possible to swap drivers out for different Audio Technica headphones. I noticed that most headphones use the 52mm driver and upon opening up my headphones and comparing to other pictures such as the W5000 below, it looks like drivers might be interchangeable. Link...

I agree with most everyone else that a good 50-80 hrs of burn in will help improve the sound. The AD700s are not too bad given it's price compared to other cans. Being open air, there isn't much bass. I wish the highs were a big brighter, maybe a little bit cleaner, but I'm just being picky. You...

Yesterday, I was listening to my cans again and noticed a constant clicking sound through the right driver, even with no music playing. So, I decided to field strip my cans and see how this thing is built. I also defoamed the cans to see if it would affect the sound in anyway. I was wondering if...

I've been reading the forums for a long while, mainly "lurking." I personally don't have much gear, but my buddie has a bunch of goodies coming by way of UPS that should be hear soon that he's been dying to try out. I remember seeing a post a looong tmie ago, about someone on here that suggested...

I was going to post this in the non-headfi related section, but I don't think too many people would see it. I don't know if too many of you guys/gals on the forum are into high end car audio, but I just wanted to share with you guys some of the nice gear that are available in the car audio...

If you're very impatient like one of my buddies, you could perhaps wrap up your headphones in some towels or old clothes and play test tones or pink noise for a few days straight and they should be ready in a few days. As for myself, I rather break things in naturally and like to hear the sound...

I tried my headphones again this morning and guess what? They seemed to be ay-okay. I guess perhaps it might have had some dust or hair in it. The Audio Technicas have have a thin layer of grill cloth over the drivers. I guess perhaps something could have gotten stuck in there. The clicking or...

I've had my ATH-AD700s for about 2 years or so and today when I put on my headphones, I noticed from the left driver, a faint but very annoying clicking sound. Has anyone had a problem like this before? When I play music, it plays music, but the click sound is still there. Also, when I'm not...

I kinda like the Audio Technicas and their skull pads, when I gel my hair it kinda leaves my hair with a faux mohwak or frohawk. lol.

I'm not sure if any of you headfi-ers on here are familiar with IASCA (International Auto Sound Challenge Assoc) in which I compete in. Basically our SQ competitions in which your sound system is judged for your vehicle, there is a standardized CD that judges use to measure tonality, imaging...
