I received the x-feed last week. After a little over a weekend of constant listening, I don't think I will ever listen to my headphone rig without this little silver box.

I listen to Beyer 880's through both a MintMeta and a Marantz 2220 vintage amp. Before x-feed, I would have to take breaks from listening every hour or so due to the closed in feeling I would get. Since having the x-feed, I no longer need to take these breaks.

I have found the x-feed effect is much more effective (sound is in front of me rather than engulfing me) in older recordings than newer ones. This makes sense considering the early stereo recordings are much different than today's.

Well my MK4 is sitting at the post office since Friday. They will not leave it requiring a signature and I can't pick it up since they close at 4:30 and I don't get home until 5:30 from work

They did tell me over the phone that they will hold it to Saturday so there is hope.

Hey Mike,

Do you have a black aluminum version of your baby? A black plastic one would be better... (cause it would be lighter)

I have been listening to the xfeed mk4 for about a week and I like it. I have not heard of any other crossfeeds before so this is my first "crossfeed experience".

The xfeed does something good to the sound but I cant describe it.

The change is very subtle that in my novice ears, if someone puts on the xfeed in my rig and doesn't tell me, I might not know that its there. IMO It doesn't change anything, meaning the lows, mids and highs stays the same. But with the xfeed on, I can listen to music with my headphones longer. What it adds is some sense of "airy" change, and this is a welcome change for me. Maybe you could call it addition of depth, but not like the ones I experience when listening to music using HEAROs 999 software player. Xfeeds effect is very subtle and doesnt sound "trying" or artificial.

I'll try to add to this when I can find better words to explain this as im sure I may sound like im not making sense

But if I have to sum it up, the Xfeed makes the music more enjoyable to listen to.

Good work Mike!

Awesome work, Mike!

Are you going to make the Special Edition "Anniversary" X-Feed's anymore?

How much would the parts cost?

I love how you kept the X-Feed such a neat little package.
