I would like to step up, but my work schedule this year is not predictable and involves international travel.
I will be more than happy to collaborate on the details.

Hey all, I hope everybody is doing well!

For those of you that have enjoyed my modded HE560s at our Meets, I am considering placing them on the market. Until recently I hadn't heard any headphones that I believed were significantly superior to the 560s, well I have a pair of HE1000s in the house and that has changed.

My 560s would come with the Norne Draug 2 Cable, balanced & SE, Grill mode (+ the original grills to reverse the mod), two pairs of Focus A Pads and the original Focus Pads. If you are interested, please let me know before I put them on the F/S Thread. Thnx!

Edit: Original Cable also included.

Jay, they are very good, they take everything I love about the 560 and improve on it exponentially!

They are the best headphones I have ever listened to (no Stax recently).

Yeah if my previous experiences with Wildcatsare1's headphones continue then the HE1000 will be my absolute favorite headphone.

Hey you JRiver MC20 users - I need some advice.
I was playing some 24/176 music and noticed the MC was resampling from 176kHz to 96kHz.  When I checked the playback options, they were set to resample everything higher than 96kHz to 96kHz.  So, I changed all the lower resolutions to up-sample to 96kHz, and the resolutions at/above 96kHz to make no changes.  Did I just improve the SQ of the lower resolution files?
 
Thanks -
Dick

I would love to hear Jay's HE 1000's at the next meet, but lets not forget someone still has to step up and do it. I would, but im not a local, I just used to live in Fort Campbell and use the meets as an excuse to also come up and visit my friends in the area. I am thinking about stepping up and coordinating a meet for Houston. For the 4th largest city in the US, we pretty much have no Head-Fi community to speak of. The last meet with you guys was my first meet, so I'm kind of nervous but I think I can make it work. Theres a local library that allows people to use their rooms for free (given enough notice), and their rooms are large too.

kevin has the he-1000, i WISH i did

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Only temporarily, have them till Wednesday, then Todd's (TTVJ) modified HD800s later next week. I'll have to sell a few items before the HE1000s move in.

 

[goropeza]

Apologies for the confusion, yes Kevins HE 1000's! Im really glad to hear how much you like it after so much talk of disappointment in some other threads. I think the price is the main is the main complaint, not so much that it sounds bad.

They are truly the best headphones I have ever heard, by a wide margin. Until I heard them, nothing else offered an improvement versus my modded 560 worthy of a change. With the Taurus Mk.2 balanced out is sublime.

Will be interested to hear the comparison between the HE-1000 and HD800.

Do y'all know what's up with Burnley?  I haven't seen him on line, in a long time...
