    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

        No, I haven't.  I get a very good seal from the foamies that come with them.  I mentioned WAY back before Christmas that I was astounded at how much I didn't like the silicone tips, since that's what I had used and loved in my (comparatively, very inexpensive) headphones before.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    So, I've done my due diligence and broke my Vegas in for 100 hours.  As a reminder, I'm running an AK300 with a Chord Mojo.  Unfortunately, the sibilance has NOT improved.  There are some recordings where it isn't a problem, but others where they are just plain unlistenable because of the...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

      I'm one of those people, but I'm still burning in (that sounds like a whole different hobby, come to think of it . . .), so judgment is being reserved.    While I'm waiting out the burn-in process, I would be interested to know more about CA's overseas QC.  The CA website is awash with...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    By burden of proof, I just mean that I'm not giving the product the benefit of the doubt . . . that I go in to the first listen with skepticism vs optimism.  It's the plaintiff having to prove its case to me.  Of course, I'm keeping an open mind about being impressed, but I'm not defaulting to...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I don't know about this.  I'm of the mind (particularly for just about any consumer item north of $1,000) that the product has the burden of proof.  it is especially useful if one has something they already like with which to compare the new product.  The danger in online hype is that the...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I'm glad to hear that.  I'll keep my fingers crossed and the music playing. . . . with multiple flights over the holidays, I'll be able to get some time in on them.  Just so I don't sound like a negative Nancy (if you hadn't read my initial AK300 and Mojo report, and I'm not sure why you would...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    Wondering whether you had burn-in hours with the Vegas, or is this your experience right out of the box?  It's a very real thing with mine.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I got my Vegas yesterday.  Please note that I am very new at this, so anything I write here should be taken with a grain of salt.  Chain:  AK300-Silver Dragon-Mojo-Vega.  The only thing I have to compare with is my T-Jays.  First, what everyone else said about tips is 100% true.  Without the...

    AK DAC "Pro Eq" settings

    Does anyone know (or have access to) the "Pro EQ" settings that come on (or with the update) the AK DACs (I'm using AK300).  I understand not being able to edit the PRO Eq, but I'd like to be able to copy it and tweak it.  Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, the Pro EQ settings are not...

    The AK300, Mojo and Campfire Vegas from the totally uninitiated

    Last year I was stranded in an airport (San Jose, if I remember correctly), and I had nothing to do except walk around to all of the Kiosks.  It was at one such kiosk that I saw the Klipsch 535s.  I couldn't believe my eyes, $600!  I did some research on them back then, but never "jumped in" so...
