Dan Santoni headphone amplifier
diy headphones with Symphones V7 drivers (will bring single-ended and balanced cables)
Shure SHR940

Oh and I picked up these bone conduction headphones from family a little while ago. They got them as a gift and didn't know what to do with them so I took 'em. I think they might be defective as one driver(?) is definitely quieter than the other, but I will bring them for anyone who is interested in testing them out. Maybe someone can show me what I am doing wrong...

Is Symphones still a company? I thought they split off into Turbulent X or something like that a while ago. Is it still a Canadian company?

Is it possible to try the bone conduction headphones reversed? As they are in fact based on conduction, there's a weird possibility that you may have a structural/density difference in your face (like just a slightly different position of a tendon, or something like that)

@Armaegis Yes, Symphones is still a company, and a Canadian at that. They are out of Hamilton, ON.
You could very well be right re conductor headphones. I feel like I am pretty rigorous when I test so I would hope I did test them in reverse, as I do know my ears are not identical in capacity. But I can't remember at this the moment. good advice though for sure!

I wouldn't mind hearing your HE-6 again, I'd like to compare what I've done to my HE-6 to others.

Have fun everyone. I'll make it to another one of these someday...

If anyone has a Chord Hugo I'd love to hear it.

Unfortunately I can’t make it tomorrow. I don’t have a Hugo myself. American Hi-Fi has Chord Mojo and DAVE on display too so you can always check it out there. I listened to the Hugo 2 in Portland on a trip and it’s somewhere between the DAVE and Mojo. The original Hugo actually sound fairly similar to Mojo except Mojo has the extra high frequency filter so it’s -1dB at 20kHz.

@Viper2005 your profile says you have a jotunheim, it would be interested to hear that. I also always enjoy the Cavalli, but totally understand if it's too much. Your summit schiit stack is already quite a lot to bring.

 

[Velomane]

Working tomorrow, so I won't be there. That's two in a row that I've missed.

I was actually gonna say, if no one specifically wants to hear the Yggy/Rag stack, leave 'em at home. That's an awful lot to haul around.

My main stack is going to be my laptop -> Schiit Wyrd -> Prism Lyra -> Benchmark AHB2 -> HE-6.

I've got a Sennheiser HD650, and some of my wonky old modded headphones (Beyer Custom One Pro with Fostex T50rp drivers). Oh I totally forgot I've got two HD598's if anyone is interested in one.

Okay then, I will skip the schiit stack this time, and bring my Jotunheim, Crimson, LCD4, HE6, HD800.

EDIT: Actually I'll bring the Yggy since I need a dac.

Good to see everyone today. Always a good time to compare gear and get some different cans on the ears.
