(Another) quick question for everyone: just bought a pair of Symphones V7s to fill an empty pair of cans. Anyone ever listen to any Symphones drivers? I gather they are Grado-like but still their own beast.I'd be happy to bring them to our next meet!

Anyone know of any Canadian or American made DAPs? Thanks.

I should be available all dates as well. AdamAtAdvance do you have any access to MrSpeakers headphones? I am really interested in the new Aeons.

These are great sealed headphones for 100$. They are however a bit bulky... http://www.kijiji.ca/v-electronics/winnipeg/psb-m4u-white-active-noise-cancelling-headphones/1245024604?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

danimoca out of curiosity, did you ever figure out your impeadance/ bass distortion issue?

-iKa- and Armaegis Much appreciated. Your comments reinforce my initial understanding. Thanks.

Quick question for the group: where does everyone stand on powercable shielding? Needed, uneeded, or system dependent. What I gather from my research is that sources benefit more from shielding, and shielding an amplifier only truly makes sense if it will sit very close to other cables...

I think I am going to try and sell some gear and save up for the new MrSpeakers Aeon. But I have been lurking those Monoprice cans for a little while now. I don't know how I feel with the idea that they can act as open and closed cans (or am I thinking about their other new HPs...). Multi-tools...

I saw this on amazon and thought this might be a little amusing, albeit quite confusing, to you all:

My Dan Santoni amp has analog RCA'S inputs. Only one set though.and it's strictly a head amp.

Velomane I am having some power issues with a new headphone amp. Would you be willing to bring your after market power cable I saw connected to some of your gear at at earlier meet? Also, if anyone else has power filters or cleaners they wouldn't mind bringing I would really appreciate it. I am...

I would be very interested! If you don't mind bringing it I would really appreciate it.

Any dsd dacs? I am in the market for a midrange dsd desktop dac. Thanks

Regarding gear for the upcoming meet, I have a pair of Denon AH-A100s (100th Anniversary editions) I would like to unload. I'll bring them if there is any interest. Price is negotiable.

Feb 19th works for me. Any interest in me bringing either the 1920s cans or the 1970s audio technica electrets? Otherwise I thought I would bring my Peachtree shift and Vmoda m100s & denon ah a-100s. I think most would be surprised to hear how well the shift brings out the best in the m100s.

What do you hope to get for it? I might be able to find room in my budget.

Quick question for everyone: I got a new headphone amplifier (trade in Dan Santoni) and it was dead quiet when I tested at store. Now at home there is power hum (95% sure) in left channel. Anyone have advice, leads on an entry power conditioner? On a bit of a budget but would be happy to hear...

In case anyone is interested, Hifiman is having a black friday/ cyber monday sale. there are some pretty reasonable discounts, but it didn't say their shipping costs, etc. but still, 200$USD off the 560s and 45% off the 400is aint bad. the v1s are going for just over 2000$USD as well. sale goes...

I echo Viper2005's and dscythe's sentiments! It always blows me away how people are so willing to haul all their (expensive) gear around and set it up just for everyone else's enjoyment. Just in case people are interested, I noticed some vintage fostex planars on ebay located here in Winnipeg...

yes I made my way down. It was nice to see Velomane, someone to bounce impressions off of. I went to hear the Stax. I really likes the L-500s. I went looking for mid-level fun open cans and thought the R2e sounded really good with jazz but a little aggressive on female vocals. it felt like a...

take it for what you will, but I know a few threads on here suggest a 1:8 or even a 1:10 ratio for the output jack / headphone impedance levels. This might mean the output jack has an output impedance of 2+?? Maybe ask Sanjay if he will look it over for you. I know he stands by his work. I would...

How low is low? I have only tested cans from 32 ohms and up. Maybe check with the maker to see if he knows the output impedance of the headphone jack. Maybe it is too high for your HPs.

I could also do rememberance day afternoon.

My vote is for after. I was thinking of bringing my new (old) pair of audio technica at-706 electrets. If anyone was interested I could also bring my raspberry PI set up again. It seemed to have gone over well last time.
