  Tip of the hat to you guys still throwing money at these campaigns...braver than I !


Doing the exact same thing and expecting a different result? It's called something other than bravery!

I call it stupidity... along with the more typical insanity term, while pointing a finger at myself. Guilty as charged.
However, I already gave them money for the HPA... if I will ever get it, the module price of $170 for two is not bad. I have several times more in tubes that mostly just sit in their boxes.

i origianlly contributed to the m-100 by accident and never got a refund. So i contribuuted to another one to complete the set. now they are asking me to play extra money to upgrade to M-200. i just asked again if i could get a refund. will see what they say.

I just wish the HPA was in the Chassis #1 instead of C2. Well, SS in C1 would be my top choice for a unit if I was gonna get one.

Hi all. Dan @mrspeakers made an interesting comment on the Ether thread about break in for the Pulse Infinity... http://www.head-fi.org/t/760249/mrspeakers-ether-impressions-thread/1845#post_11899623
 
We exchanged brief words about it at London Canjam so I presume I'm one of the two other owners he's spoken to about it.  I definitely experienced the same thing...the Infinity went from sounding really closed in and frankly unpleasant to far more open and generally better all around after some days of 24/7 running in (I don't recall precisely how many - more than a few, less than 10 I think).
 
Worth bearing in mind for anyone who's not immediately blown away by their Pulse (although obviously I can't say if this same running in period applies to other versions).

Think I'm the other one. We've been going on about it since Thursday night before Canjam lmao. And yes it went from 'why did I pay for this' to 'why arent people paying for this'. 150hours I would say was roughly what it took for that to happen.

My MadDogs Pro are fantastic with the Geek Pulse Xfi. Took a while to settle down but pitch black background, huge soundstage, textured bass and silky midrange. Can't really ask for more.

No question it needs  solid week of break in. Also from comments Larry has made, it seem the Femto clocks are much happier when fully warm. I never turn mine off and it sound wonderful.

I'm being blown away by the Ether out of the "crap" headphone out (balanced) on the Pulse Infinity. I can't wait for the LC to take me to another level altogether.

Really? Crap? C'mon! The Ethers should get quite loud with the Pulse's 3W amp
