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

    confirmed coming as well, with John Tucker of Exemplar Audio. We'll be bringing his newest DAC, and his headphone amp. The prototypes for the new electrostat and dynamic did not get finished in time. We'll also be bringing my HP-1000s, Stax 007, Blue Hawaii, and the other two DACs I have for sale.

    I just figured it's a much better value without them. I'm happy to sell it w/ the blackgates if someone wants.

    Comment by 'fliz' on listing 'Headamp Blue Hawaii Electrostatic Headphone amp'

    I've never had the chance to listen to a BHSE. I think if Justin made any significant changes to the actual circuit design that Kevin Gilmore originally created and made public, he would have mentioned it on his sales page. It appears the only differences are the addition of RCA and XLR...

    For sale is an original Headamp Blue Hawaii from before the release of the SE version. Original retail price was $2500. I opted to not include volume pots, as I was driving the amp using an Exemplar Audio pre-amp. I originally paid an additional $750 for 4 blackgate caps but, as those have...

    For sale I have a pair of Joe Grado HP-1000 headphones, the HP-2 version. Many regarded this as the best version as the mechanical polarity switch in the HP-1 version was.... an interesting design choice. There were no visual differences between the HP-2 and the HP-3, but the drivers weren't...

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

    I went crazy w/ pizza for a while. During covid, I ate it probably 4x a week. I've got a blackstone pizza oven and an ooni koda 16" The blackstone was only $300 when I bought it, but they discontinued it and then recently relaunched it but now it's $800. The only difference is that it's not as...

    Oh, and I'm happy to show you how I make the dough. I'll bring some extra starter for you to keep. In a standard oven I may dial the hydration back a little though. I've been wanting to master a good bar pie. Lately, I've been trying to figure out detroit style and still working out the kinks

    Sounds good. I've been buying Exemplar gear for close to 20 years now, starting w/ a modified $2500 Denon 2900 that replaced a $5000 Electrocompaniet EMC1UP. I've also got his single ended pre-amp, some custom 300b amps, and his gigantic horn speakers, but I won't be bringing those lol.

    How do I get in touch with a moderator?

    The classified rules say I need to contact a moderator before listing Grado HP-2 headphones, but I don't know how to actually contact one. Is there a list somewhere?

    Oh! What kind of pizza oven do you have? I make an excellent pizza dough (even though I say so myself) that's a 70% hydration version of the Tartine Sourdough loaf recipe. I can bring a batch (6 balls at about 320g each) if you'd like.

    Which headphones do you use for PC gaming?

    I bought my Etymotic er4s specifically for gaming so that I wouldn't bother anyone w/ the sound (and wouldn't be bothered by outside noise)

    Where is Singlepower? Where is Mikhail?

    I, too, would love to know what happened to him. I lost a Melos in his hands.

    Advice for my first headphone amp review...

    I've been buying stuff from John Tucker of eXemplar Audio for over a decade now, ever since ServingInEcuador sold his Electrocompanient EMC1UP in favor of John's heavily modified Denon 2900. I followed suit and have been buying John's gear ever since. I now have a full eXemplar system...

    Power conditioners/regenerators - let's talk about clean power

    What if you add a second ground bar INSIDE the breaker box and have it go to it's own ground rod right next to the other one? This was what I just asked a bunch of different electricians quotes for earlier this week. I still haven't gotten an answer.

    Power conditioners/regenerators - let's talk about clean power

    Heh.. I seriously want those just because they're sexy looking. I was disappointed when my stereo builder said the porter ports sounded better. Shame on me. lol.

    Power conditioners/regenerators - let's talk about clean power

    Did you go straight from a lowe's crap outlet to the furutech or did you try other audiophile outlets on your way to it? I asked my stereo builder about them and he said when he compared the Furutech to a porter port, he preferred the porter port (of course ymmv)

    Can confirm.. After getting a good room and good speakers, I don't listen to headphones anymore.
