Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Um... I've personally upgraded my Bifrost twice (Uber -> 4490 -> multibit), and am considering doing so again for Gen 5 USB. The upgrades clearly exist.- mdoxey73

Little Dot MK VI / Little Dot MK VIII SE Owners Unite
Can any MK VIII or MK VI+ owners compare them to the Ampsandsound Kenzie on sound quality? I'd be especially grateful if anyone has the experience to make that comparison for the original Senn HD800. I know the Kenzie is about twice the price and only single-ended, and both the Little Dots and...- mdoxey73

I'm glad you got it, because I didn't get it until you paraphrased. Thanks Dogmatrix and WayTooCrazy. Guess I'll just buy a multimeter.- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
For those of you who have modded the cables on the THX00s, do they have four different colors of wire, or do they use the same two colors on both sides? I'm trying to figure out if I can simply re-terminate mine with a 4-pin XLR without opening the cups.- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I'm selling my purplehearts and someone inquired as to why I prefer the ebonies and mahoganies over them. I posted something similar in the past regarding the PHs and Mahoganies, but I thought I'd add this since I also included the ebonies in my response: "A number of people have inquired...- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
To be clear, I was giddy when I got my ebonies and saw that they were NOT piano black. I ordered them for the smoother highs, not for the look (I thought I would like the Mahoganies better aesthetically), so when I was the awesome dark wood grain, I was very happy. But, obviously it's a taste...- mdoxey73

Both sides on mine are pretty similar in grain. I don't have a picture of the other side saved yet.- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I definitely wouldn't call the grain on my ebonies boring. They have much more figure than the Massdrop photos that appear piano black. The (wonderful) high gloss makes it a little difficult to capture though, since I'm definitely not the best photographer.- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
The Schiit Jotunheim is awesome. Can't compare it to much, but I can say it was a definite upgrade from the Magni 2 Uber I had before.- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I just unwrapped my ebonies, and my first impression is that the finish appears flawless (best of the three so far) and the wood is gorgeous. Way more grain than was shown in the original Massdrop photos, which I'm VERY happy about (being a fan of wood grain). Mine look more like the pictures of...- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I own both and have compared them quite a bit out of the same source and amplifier chain. The differences are subtle, but ultimately I went back to the mahoganies because of slightly improved perceived mid performance (probably a result of a slight reduction in treble energy). I'm eagerly...- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
Someone started a thread asking about real differences between the PH and Mahogany. I have both on the same setup, so I thought I'd post my impressions here as well. I've been A/Bing them recently, and the first thing I'll say is that I'm not positive that I consistently hear a difference...- mdoxey73

Fostex TH-X00 Mahogany VS Purpleheart: a real difference?
So I've been A/Bing them recently, and the first thing I'll say is that I'm not positive that I consistently hear a difference. That should tell you how subtle it is. It also may be track dependent. I listen out of a Bifrost 4490 and Magni2 Uber, across multiple genres. The differences I think I...- mdoxey73

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
SN 00039, and mine have the bubble-wrap marks. I'm wondering if it effected the earlier units to a greater extent? Honestly though, while it shouldn't have happened, I have to have a very specific angle of light to even see the problem, and since these are typically on my head, I can't see it...- mdoxey73
