I think you're a week early asking :)

The measurements and writing Tyll did at HR was the reason I bought my first high end setup and the reason I bought the HD800s from them too (which may well be my last headphones). He's the good stuff and I'm looking forward to seeing where he goes next and if I can help him that's even better

Good luck to you sir, wherever life takes you make sure to take your headphones

I'll be there but I managed to forget my portable rig at work and I'm not going have time to pack up the GS-X after my bike ride this morning. I'll bring the HD800s though.

I'll be there. I may bring some of my crap depending on how long my bike ride runs in the morning. Balanced HD800 Balanced HD650 HeadAmp GSX Behringer DEQ 2496 Bel Canto DAC3

Somehow, people believe that a meritocracy should be judged only on the merits that they consider important. Greed is a merit (esp on Wall St.), having connections is a merit, even loyalty is a merit in some peoples eyes. Just because the manager you (hypothetically) deal with appears to be...

A while ago I asked Justin at Headamp to let me try out the Pico and he graciously arranged for me to borrow one from Recstar24. I want to thank both of them for giving me the opportunity and also curse them because now I really want to buy one. IF you look at my signature I have a rather...

Tyll, bring 'em and bring 'em balanced I can't wait until I get my pair from HR

Fourier transforms are pretty basic math. Mathworld is a good place to start.

I am very happy with my GS-X and there is actually one on the FS forums right now It's a wire with gain which is how a good amp should be. I have also owned a balanced beta22 for 8 weeks and decided that and I am happy with the GS-X. The headroom ultra desktop balanced could possibly be a...

Well apparently they are selling them: Smyth Research "SVS" is finally available for purchase! - AVS Forum

I am there but no KGSS or HD800s. Oh well.

As you guys probably already know there will not be any HD800s this month so they will not be there.

Tyll, I hope you should spend your time keeping the excellent website and descriptions going, and going out and touching base with the "user community". I discovered hi-fi headphones through Headroom and made me first high end purchase through it too (and many subsequent ones) that was almost...
