Any information about when the production version might become available? And the price and release timeline for the new amp?

Any sense of a timeline when the production phones will come to market. I was going to buy Senn hd800s but I'm thinking about saving my money and waiting for the holy grail! But how long must I wait...I'm an old man already!

I am very interested in participating. I live in Seattle so it it will depend on when and where as to whether I can attend.

Can you send me a pm with the price you would be asking? Also would you share your reason for selling it? Thanks, Barry

Can this amp be obtained at anything less than full retail price?

Is there a group that meets in Seattle? Or any kind of Seattle Headfi network? I just moved here and am looking for community.

Huh? If it's highly unlikely that Neil Young would make a good CEO how would his taking over said position serve as encouragement? What am I kissing here?

Yikes, I didn't read my last Kickstarter update. I am concerned. I've been following Neil Young's progress in making his passion a sustainable product. I "Ponoed" up my $400 for a signature edition player as premium. I stood by the company even though I felt the transparency was suspect and...

How is it a mistake or a problem that Hifiman is open and responsive to feedback, flexible and adaptive in design and production all in an effort to give birth to the best outcome they can achieve? So it's a little awkward or clumsy. A little delayed. They are treating us in the most respectful...

All pertinent information is on Kickstarter. One interesting note: The production model appears to be plastic. But if you pledge $499 or more you get a premium chrome eddition signature series, autograph engraved my the specific artist you chose and all accompanied by a leather carrying case and...

I know. I know. But he just announced publicly that it will be fully unveiled at this year's SXSW Festival in early March. He's got major recorded labels on board and Meridian is a partner in the hardware. The thing I find most intriguing is that it seems nobody knows or at least is talking...

So this is as good as it gets so far for digitally delivered sq. Does anyone have any further insight into what Neil Young has got going with his Pono system reportedly heading to the marketplace this March?

Photos on the way!

I like the size. it's so solid ad substantial. Looks great on a beside table or to use as my home amp with very good phones and high end audiophile source and speakers. And I like it as a portable. I just put it in my briefcase and when I'm ready to listen I just take it out and out it on an...

I bought a used LISA III on the for sale forum a couple of months back. It was all and more than I had heard and expected. Luscious and rich, detailed and dynamic from top to bottom. I had it on a bedside stand and kept it plugged in to a Larraco power supply. Sublime. But when I finally...

I had the same exact conversation with Craig yesterday and foo me you could not have stated things any more clear or complete. I will be very interested to know your first hand comparison between the 307A and AD1 tubes in the BA. The AD1 would have to be a quantum level or above improvement to...

Re: Capitole choice I have a friend who has one and he is crazy about it. He has the same kind of musical preferences as I do and the same sense of musicality in terms of gear. The Capitole is a bit obscure in regards to name recongnition but it seems to be well regarded as a straight ahead...

Well I'm no taker either but I'll be another lister...the UPS guy dropped off this huge and heavy box originally from France on my doorstep. I had a hard time carrying it in the house. It's an Audio Aero Capitole SE. Supposed to be a master of redbook cds. I wouldn't know yet, I'm too frighted...

Hey Tyll, I'm going to go out and buy one of them computing things just so I can get me one of your hifi dealies. Hi to the gang, please. Love you guys. No one better in the biz (in any other biz for that matter.)

Well, I'm a little over two hours into sticking my head into boiling water so I thought I'd take it out for a moment and give you a report...after I finish posting on "shrunken headfi." I went to the ER and did wait two hours but it was worth it to have the security of a doctor using his...

The cone shaped tip came off my Etys iems and is stuck in my ear. What do I do. Feels weird. Pressure. Some pain. And can't hear very well. Kinda scared too!

Monkey, that was a really a great and helpful analysis and description. I've never really been able to nail exactly what I was looking to get "past" in my HR balanced rig. As you said it's both fun but...something does get in the way and I am looking to have the gear itself melt away and...

Speaking of the Examplar 2900 mod. How does the 3910 compare to it? I considering pulling the trigger on a used tube stage mod of the latter? Also while you're pondering... any thoughts on the Krell Standard cd/sacd? Justin loves it. And to put it all in context I'm either going to buy...

It seems to me that "high end" refers to quality, price, sophistcation, etc. I don't think it means that if a person in the headfi community has a question about something others know and can provide helpful responses or directions, it doesn't mean that our respected members are to be dismissed...

I ordered it too and I am also in awe of Mr.Burnett!. We'll see how novel or truly impactful this really is but I must say that when I first heard about it I could hardly wait to post and hear back from fellow headfiers. Thus my impatient and impulsively premature first bump. The second was...
