I can answer this. Yes!

I have to many. I'm an addict and I need help lol.

I keep telling myself to hold off and get some summit fi stuffs, but then the a73 comes out, then the trinity stuff and so on...

I think in order for me to go summit fi I need to stay off Head-Fi for a while. But that's not gna happen damn...

It's a vicious cycle

I know whut ya mean Vince, just laid out my travel Lab and as I've been told no less than 100 times "Why do you have so many of this and that when you can only listen to one at a time"! I'm not sure if it's a priority or reality check I need but I need something (Those closed back cans Brooko suggested comes to mind)

LOL

 

 
Looking at this layout just reminds me if I had patience I would have just saved up and bought myself Kaiser 10's and an AK120II but the journey is half the fun and of course what would portable audio be without all my fine enabling comrades on Head-Fi (that's right you know who you are)

Don't make me mention names LOL

 
 
Looks like your luggage is all packed to go to Labster gateway island

 
Btw, are those Westone Alpha or Beta (adventure series)?   There was a big discussion about Beta being discounted down to $50 now, so I got persuaded into reviewing one (doesn't take much).  People seem to mention it was way overpriced at original $200 but for $50 it's a bargain?

Can't say for sure Twist, bought mine from Earphone Solutions a couple years back for $119.00. If they can be had for $50 I say don't wait or hesitate

I could go to the bar, meet my local buddies and go home hours later with a hundred dollar bar tab.

Instead, I stay home, spend that hundred on a pair of earphones, and spend hours jamming them and hanging out with guys from all over the world who share the same interest.

I might go deaf but my liver is fine!

Yeah Vince , we could be doing a lot worse, diving fast cars and such!

 
btw,  do we really know our livers are fine!

There are just those times when I feel the need to support the local strippers and drop a couple hundred. After all I am helping them get threw college.

I dunno, fast cars are pretty sweet.
 
I thought it was proven that alcohol increases musical enjoyment.

That sounds vaguely familiar

Hey Vince, on lunch listening to the CALYX PaT.  I like it.  I think I actually like it better with my hifiman re400s than with the TTPODs.  I'll need to do some more listening though to make that determination.  Dumb noob question that will probably get me kicked off of this thread if not the website, is it totally unorthodox to run it through my Bravo?  I'm doing that now and I like the sound.

Double amping isn't a good thing dude.

Feel the amps and see if they are unusually warm. If so you could be messing up the internals, or so I've been told.

 

[Hisoundfi]

Glad you're liking the PaT.

Care to share some impressions of what it does over just using your phone?

 

[bmulkshake01]

let me get a little more listening time in then I'll be glad to post some impressions.  I wish I could listen while I work but alas I cannot.  It would definitely make the day go faster.
Neither amp seemed overly hot, no noticeable heat with the PaT and the Bravo always gets hot but it didn't seem hotter than usual.

Would it be possible to drive XC from a portable source or something like N6+C5 or do you need a serious desktop amp for that?

That's the thing about the X and the XC, they were Audeze's first cans to be relatively efficient - my XC is 26 Ohm impedance and 96db/1 kHz efficiency, while the newer ones are 20 Ohm impedance and 100db/1 kHz efficiency.

From a dedicated DAP there is no issues driving the XC. Sure, they scale a bit better with desktop gear, but the X5 / X5ii drive them fine. The key is the speed of the drivers and precision in these cans. The more powerful and fleshed out N6 really does wake them up though compared to the FiiO DAPs.

Guys, I have a very serious question. There's a reason why I'm asking.

If you could design the perfect in-ear monitors, what attributes would they have? You can use attributes from other earphones as reference.

Seriously think about this and post it here or PM me your thoughts.

You do know you can drink while you're on the internet, right
