    Back in the olden days when it was called MassDrop, the famed ESP/95X electrostatic headphone and included energizer (amplifier) was released at $500 and made it the cheapest electrostat/energizer combo you could get anywhere. Koss has a no-questions-asked unlimited transferrable warranty on all...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Not really a new member but it's been ages since I been here. Pared down my system at it's height (Schiit Gungnir MB>Cavalli Liquid Crimson>Modded HE-500 Hifimans) down to something more enjoyable :p (Schiit Modi+>Nitsch Piety>portapros/EM-U purpleheart/Koss ESP-95X Gonna hawk my Koss off soon...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Since I got into motorcycling, I've been looking for a CIEM that's got enough bass to hear while riding. I keep seeing the 8 driver 64 Ears one, but that's just a ridiculous amount of money (I spent about that much on my motorcycle!) So I was wondering if there are any other CIEMs that can make...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    I would say go for a FirstWatt speaker amp on the used market, but you'd still be looking at $1K+. Lyr 2 can power just about anything and so can Audio-GD stuff.

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    Bestintheversecables.com   He makes the cables to order so it takes a couple weeks to get em, but they're really fairly priced and use canare star quad wire, same stuff they use for almost any professional microphone cable.

    How many pairs of headphones do you own?

    I've got 3 right now, but I'll be selling my HD-650s soon because they get so little headtime. All I'll have is the HE-500 and TH-X00 and that's all I'll need!

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    I'm done with the headphone game now, settled on the two I use the most and I'm gonna sell the HD-650 later. Now all I've gotta do is wait for a good phono preamp to appear in the market ;) and then it'll be music that I'll budget for. Maybe I'll get a Mutec and a Regen but probably next year...

    Want the GH-1 and an original Magni? :p

    Grado Fan Club!

    Off go my GH-1s to new owners! Put em up for sale just today, I love em to death, but I gotta fund my new (last) amp somehow. I've still got the SR-80i though!

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I was originally going to get a Yggy and wanted to save up so I wouldn't lose any money at all, but a black Gumby became available and I couldn't resist. The X00 was just a no brainer because I was always craving more bass on electronic music. The HD650 was the result of much peer pressure and...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I hope you looked at the Yggy impressions thread as well. Everyone who got one ended at the same place, where they stopped worrying about differences between the Yggy and other DACs and just started listening to the music. I've got the multibit Gungnir and I love it. Never getting another DAC...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    The 2-channel amp with its new topology is definitely interesting. However, is it Magnepan-worthy? The Manhattan Project is something I forsee wanting, but I promised myself no purchases until next winter. Besides, we don't even know what it is! Whatever the secret is seems to be not...

    :sunrise: CanJam SoCal 2016 (March 19-20, 2016)

    Well, since I spent so much money on audio gear this year (Carbon, Gumby, Grado, Fostex, HD-650) I won't be going to this. I'd definitely love to, but moneys are not on my side. At least I've got nothing else to buy audiowise other than some balanced cables. Well, that and music.

    The Delta-Sigma and R-2R debate, anyone found the musical truth?

    I can definitely say that going from the Modi to the Gungnir Multibit was THE difference between good audio, and 'being there' in the recording. I know nothing about the science of digital-to-analog conversion past the surfacy stuff I actually understood in Jason's story, but I know what I hear...

    ☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???

    No questions here, only that if my package gets home when I'm working at Fed-Ex, I'll be able to bring it home the next day after work! However, I'll probably just have someone at home sign for it if possible. If not, I'll redirect it to my facility. In retrospect, I should've figured out how...

    At what power does the Carbon leave Class A operation?

    I'm hoping for the Modibit, more speaker amps (maybe), and preamps of all kinds.

    And even some this year, from what you said last chapter! Unless you just realised that real life will be pushing that date back a month or two. :p

    Limitations on space and heat? Class-A somethingrather then, and space constraint? Asgard size or smaller probably. [[serious]] cost constraint, so.. Asgard, or even Magni-type thing. What is it? Who cares! I just can't wait to read the FAQ!
