CanJam NYC 2017 (February 4-5, 2017)
I saw a couple of NJ folk who are curious about NYC parking. For those that don't want to drive all the way into Midtown Manhattan, you can take the ferry from Weehawkin and the Shuttle service from the ferry terminal. http://www.nywaterway.com/UserFiles/Files/nyw_buses_master-file_GREEN.pdf- glc

Sennheiser 650 + RSA Predator. Why?
Quote: I have tried the 650 through my SR71A, PICO, Xin, Predator and did not like the sound. Pretty much the same complaints you have. I then tried it through my Phoenix and EF-5. It sounded better with more power, but I still reached for my He-6 and He5LE first. Got a balanced cable and...- glc

NY Area Meet, November 12, 2011 Impression Thread
Little late, but just wanted to thank Erikzen, the MOTs and the other headfiers that help to make this a wonderful meet. I went there with the intent to listen to my He-6 through the Ef-6 and Little Dot VI and ended up with an opportunity to listen to a lot more. Have to admit I loved the...- glc

Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones
I listen to mine from the PC --> Audio GD chain of Digital Interface --> Ref-1 --> ACSS cables --> Phoenix --> balanced HE-6. I think it's fine even though others have said the Phoenix doesn't drive it to it's maximum potential.- glc

Solid state that can feed 3~5 watts into a low impedance headphone?
Here's what I heard over the weekend at the NY meet. It drove my HE-6 adequately & should be able to handle the HE-500. Has a built in DAC as a bonus. I am contemplating one myself. http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB-10.1/NFB10.1EN.htm Reviews are in the Dedicated Source...- glc

Akg K-702 - Amped vs Unamped : Can't hear much of a difference?
I owned a k701 and will tell you that there was a noticeable difference in sound quality for me listening through a laptop versus listening through one of my more powerful portable amps (Pico, SR71A, Predator). the big difference does not show up until you start sending the signal through a...- glc

It's Official: NY Area Meet, November 12, 2011
Don't know, I've never tried to A/B them because it's hard to do on the Phoenix without having to futz with volume. I got them balanced for the Phoenix and always use it balanced with that amp. Sounds great SE on a EF-5 though.- glc

Hifiman RE262 Initial Impressions
Quote: I bought one off a fellow head-fier and it lasted all of 7 days. Not too happy abut that. Waiting to see what Head-Fi will say since it's obviously still under warranty since it's just been released recently.- glc

HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone
Just an fyi for anyone interested in changing the stock cables for the HE-6. I happened to break one of the stock connectors on the cable when my He-6 banged up against the table (on the connector of course). Luckily, I had a Moon Silver Dragon for my HE5 that was lying around. I have to admit...- glc

The voltage you want needs to be exposed. So for you, 110V needs to be covered.- glc
