Here are my pictures I took at the meet.   I'll type up my full impressions soon, but my personal favorites include: 1. HE60/Liquid Lightning 2 2. Omega 2/ Blue Hawaii 3. SR-009 / Liquid Lightning 2 4. HE 6 / Liquid Glass 5. HD800 / Eddie Current S7 or Liquid Glass   Overall, I...

I have at least 5 extension chords available to bring, but no powerstrips. I don't think I'll bring any gear, as it is my first meet and I'd rather not have to worry about keeping up with gear, and the big Wilson's don't travel very easily.

I am very interested, schedule permitting, in attending.

No list of greatest bassist is complete without Garry Karr. Simply a master.

This will work per album. It's a start.

I have started making a similar system for my classical music, and have to say it is time consuming, but rewarding. The experience on my PC does not seam to be as polished as using frontrow, but on my iPod classic, which lacks a good default way to browse classical, the organization is amazing...

Speakers: 42.5% Amp: 22.9% Music (est.): 13.1% Dac: 11.1% Transport: 6.2% Preamp: 4.2%   If you want dollar amounts, the cost of music is more than my last car.

I'm always out of town for these things, even if this is canceled. I would really like to attend the one in January if my schedule permits.

That clears things up. I thought you might be using the raid 5 for music and all your other digital crap.

Nice build. I like the clean layout of your desk, and the black and wood colors. Have fun ripping those cd's.   One question though, is why did you go for both a raid 1 and a raid 5 setup? Is the raid 5 for just music, or everything but the operating system? If all you have on the raid 1...

Here comes the hate...

"noise attenuation" is the reduction of outside noise. ie: make other sounds quiet.

to bad that the best looking and best sounding components usually mean lots of $$$

in dbPoweramp with the nero codec, you can encode AAC as VBR and CBR up to 400kbps.

The Grado sr60i sound like they would fit everything you mentioned... except comfort (for some people), although there are many mods that can be done.

I use xubuntu 8.04 / Xp dual boot for my media server. And testing how bad life sucks with 128mb of ram.

The hd600's are recomended time and time again as a 'do it all' phone that scales well with upgraded cables/amps. They do require some juice to run though, and they are open. I would second the D2000, or even D5000 if you can find a deal on them.

If you have a db meter: find a shoe box and cut two holes in the sides cut third hole for the db meter mic set headphones to the level you are using them at, then place them on the box and see how load the scale reads. If you don't have a db meter, but your can's are open, you should be...

If you want the best quality, use apple lossless or wav rips from the cd. There is a limit to the sound an ipod can put out, it's 16bit 44.1khz, = 1411kbps.

I've played bass in several large orchestras and do appreciate a presence of the low end. But when performing, I listen to the low end for other reasons then when I just sit down to relax. You have to pay attention to tuning and listen to the sections around you. On stage (at least in the...

Preorder the Ultra balanced?

You should be able to use the micro DAC with the bithead just fine. Plug the 1/8th output to the input on the bithead with the mini-mini cable from your bithead.

So this guy showed up and told you to make the next big amp and dac, right?

Convincing works better if the can's look better.
