    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: March 16, 2024

    Below are the only two photos I took, one of the view (and a head-fi-er listening to some equipment) and the other of dinner. Thom, thanks as always for hosting, the company and the food are always first-rate! No photo of lunch, but pork and home-made bread and sausage (or brat, I forget) was...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: March 16, 2024

    Hi Thom, sounds like a pretty good group coming this time; maybe you could also post a list of confirmed attendees? I plan on bringing my LTA z10e with the Meze Empyreans. Don't really want to lug along my Cary streamer/DAC, but it might be easier to do that than try and work out some other...

    Let's have a meetup in Atlanta?

    Before Covid, the Atlanta Audio Club (Society?) hosted a really nice headphone meet the first weekend (approx.) of May, if I remember correctly. The year I went it was held just northeast of I-285, in a pretty large (apartment's) clubhouse, and it was completely full. Maybe @purk can fill us...

    MYSPHERE 3.1-UNIQUE in SOUND&DESIGN&BUILD QUALITY

    There is nothing like hearing music reproduced in space. (As opposed to what I hear from my really good, but over-the-ear, Meze Empyreans.) Sadly(?), I was reminded of this last week, when I decided to try out Naim's little all-in-one streaming speaker system, the Mu-So qb. After I finish...

    Affordable Roon Core Device?

    You kindly offered to come over sometime and educate me on Roon, and I need to make myself available next time you are in town and have some time. I will say, my headphone system has improved a lot since the last time you were here (most recently, inexplicably to me, although there is probably...

    MYSPHERE 3.1-UNIQUE in SOUND&DESIGN&BUILD QUALITY

    My recollection of first hearing the Myspheres (demo at home) was similar to the first time I heard Magnapan loudspeakers. The Magnapans simply disappeared, and the instruments and vocals just floated in space. I immediately promised myself that the next pair of speakers would be Magnapans...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 15, 2022

    Sounds like a great lineup; I haven't heard the Susvara or the HE-1000; sorry I had to miss out! Thankfully @Makahl brought the Utopias last time and I was able to compare them to my Empyreans. The Utopias are great, but listening to them just confirmed I like the extra spaciousness provided...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 15, 2022

    Thanks very much; I'll look forward to trying it out. My thought was (is), the music steam would come from my Switch, go via Ethernet cable to the Core, and then on to my Streamer (which I am unwilling to do, insert another device between my switch and streamer/DAC). Are you saying I would...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 15, 2022

    Thom was telling me I need to come and experience Roon, since he has started using it now. I would like Roon (and happily just buy it) for information feature alone. This because, the app which Cary audio provides to control my streamer, utilizing my iPad, doesn't offer any information about...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 15, 2022

    I take that back, I have made one significant upgrade to my system (for less than $200). Two or three months ago I tried out (and purchased) a new, cryo-ed, "Ebony Cat8 Ethernet cable" from InSound Audio (the same guy who makes the copper ribbon interconnects). It is spectacular. I also...

    TN - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 15, 2022

    I had a renter move out (in North Alabama) and also my mom is limited in driving - so it is likely I'll be out of town Thursday or Friday, through Sunday. Too bad. Although I don't have a lot of new equipment, it would be great to meet some of the new people. Let me say, whether you bring...

    Nashville - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: April 30 2022 Impressions

    Thom, thanks for great hospitality and even greater food (by definition, since the food is a subset, perhaps food cannot be greater than hospitality; I'll have to think about that). Barbeque and home-made bread never disappoints. Tons of great stuff to listen to and people with whom to visit...

    YEAAAA: Headphones: Audeze CRBN Electrostatic Looking forward to hearing the CRBN headphones; have been wondering about them for many months now!

    Have you heard the new Linear Tube Audio Z10e amplifier?

    There may be a pair of Audeze CRBNs at the end-of-this-month headphone meet in/near Nashville; if so I'll be sure and bring my (Z10e) amplifier so we can hear the pairing.

    microZOTL 3 by Linear Tube Audio. True High End Audio.

    I only have the Z10e headphone amplifier, which is spectacular (and also just slightly less than twice the price of the MZ3). Everything I hear with my amplifier is what I had read (for a year or two, before taking the plunge) about both the MZ2 and MZ3. I've never heard the MZ3, but I think...

    Have you heard the new Linear Tube Audio Z10e amplifier?

    ThanatosVI Headphoneus Supremus "Am I right that the Z10e has a rather thin ultra detailed sound"? Nope, pretty much the opposite. With 10 tubes, it is warm -ish but a lot less so than any other tube amplifier I've ever listened to. Pretty much the opposite of thin though; it is very...

    Nashville - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Apr 30, 2022

    It was a shame I had to miss the last meet; the afternoon before I found I had a couple of fires to put out... Sorry to cancel at the last minute; but with round-trip driving time of about three hours I just didn't feel I could do it! Although, if Jeweltopia hadn't already been planning to...

    Nashville - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: Oct 30, 2021

    I thought I'd be too busy, but if you're coming... Thom called/texted earlier this week; I need to keep up better with what's going on around me - in the headphone world at least. I'm going to see what I can do to free myself up for a day - maybe I can make it work out. Purk (is a great guy...

    MYSPHERE 3.1-UNIQUE in SOUND&DESIGN&BUILD QUALITY

    Below is a table that I modified a year or so ago; Heinz originally posted it somewhere when his headphones were new (newer), to give people an idea of which version of the MySpheres would be best with whatever amplifier an enthusiast was using (or considering) at the time, and which of the...

    Which headphone is the King of Planars?

    I have the Z10e for use with my Meze Empyreans and I think it is spectacular. A friend heard my amplifier at a local headphone meet and ordered a Z10 to pair with the newest Abyss (maybe 1266 TC phi?) headphones - and loves it. Read preliminary review here

    MYSPHERE 3.1-UNIQUE in SOUND&DESIGN&BUILD QUALITY

    I tested the MySpheres at home and was thrilled for the opportunity to do so. I can't remember, maybe I (only) had to pay for return shipping. Regardless, if you are looking for a TOTL headphone experience and have a dedicated listening area that is quiet (at least part of the time during your...

    Nashville - Center Hill Lake: Whiskey-Fi / Head-Fi Meet: May 15, 2021

    Looks like I'm going to have to go to Alabama instead of attending; sorry guys as it is always good to see everyone. I have the smallest amount of (commercial) real estate there that usually doesn't require any attention, but one company has left, one is going, and (most importantly) one is...

    Have you heard the new Linear Tube Audio Z10e amplifier?

    Although, I think Nicholas told me that (for a small fee), it is possible to custom order the Z10 "upgraded" to have the power supply as an outboard unit, exactly like the Z10e power supply is configured. I'm getting old and feeble; for certain if someone thinks they want a Z10 with a separate...

    Have you heard the new Linear Tube Audio Z10e amplifier?

    Hey girl, just a quick note/response here, as I am short on time (Translation: was reading a book earlier when I should have been doing what I'm about to do (work).) First, here is a link so you can view the LTA Z10 amplifier Nicholas at LTA is very responsive to emails and phone calls and you...

    Have you heard the new Linear Tube Audio Z10e amplifier?

    @Mshenay : you were a bad influence. I have had my Linear Tube Audio Z10e for about three weeks now, but have been extremely busy so serious listening time has been limited. The Z10e received a week's worth of burn-in at the factory before shipping (during this same time, I had my new Meze...
