A lot of us did a comparo between the Cary Xciter and the 300 at the NYC Spring meet, and everyone I spoke to, said they felt that the 300 was a notch above. Deeper bass extention was one of the assets on the 300SEI.

By the way, Dennis Had is the man. Last Friday, I received my Xciter DAC that I won, from the Charlotte meet

. I am going to hook it up directly out of my Transporter via digital coax, and then I'll try the Toslink.
It is built like a tank, and sounded superb at drubrew's table in NY. Drew sells lot's of Dennis' components.

I've been trying to follow this thread, but there were a few manufacturers conspicuously absent from the meet, Denon, AKG, and AT to name a few. I would think that we represent a pretty good portion of thier business. At the very least a window into their future business.

And I'm so going to try and make it to canjam next time round.

yes those are COlin's HP-1s with real nice stiff leather for the headband.

The NAD was a disappointment for me..damping needs to be changed...we had planned to try some damping schemes while we were there. But we got entagled in the non stop partying and never got around to it.
The Hp-1 of Colin's and my HP-2s were the most balanced of the headphones there..Colin preferred his HP-1 over my HP-2s while I preferred mine over his...albeit it by a small margin for the both of us.

Nikongod heard my SFI pickerings and thought that the mid bass was crowding the mids...and I knew this..my pickering have a bmp in the 100-220hZ range. He however was impressed with how the SFI's were able to produce the lower octaves..

That was me asking about the Zino's, thanks. What is the likely price and release date?

Also good to hear a few things about Shure too. What's the soundstage like?

Where did he get that headband?

And is anything done to those besides the headband?
