Could always be a super nerd and install MPD like me

I tried Audirvana again, and as much as it kills me to say this, the Apple Music app is still the best option for me.

Use Winyl. Foobar sucks.

Just in time for the rainy season.

Jealous, I'd love to be in London around Christmas.

Nice. I’ve got this setup also. Very satisfying. Does your AF have feedback or no?

No feedback, Jupiter caps

Forte III is my fav current production Klipsch.

PI-2XR, which is 1:1, but in retrospect I think I should have gotten the PO-2XR because the spec sheets show less distortion in the bass. I'd say even with a bit of bass color the benefits outweigh the downside. I mostly got it to use it with @ColtMrFire Starlet when he brings it over.

Cool, yeah-- I still sometimes splurge and drag it over to my lyr

@Scott Kramer I'd be tempted to borrow it sometime to see if the PO sound significantly different from the PI or not.

Looking forward to your impressions!

Waiting for the new toy syndrome to wear off a bit before leaving impressions.

Oddly enough I haven't been to too many here. I had some good experiences at Stereo Exchange, but I think they're by appointment only now. http://stereoexchange.com/

I'm going to work out of your office from now on, k? Can provide lulz and a naked portafilter :)

I'll have to try those out, thanks guys.

What goes well with porchetta?

I like sparkling reds with that kind of thing. I'm partial to Bonarda but it's really up to taste, there's like 10-15 different ones across Italy.

Yeah I have a stainless 185 Wave. Wave is probably the easiest to learn on (excluding Chemex with stock filters). It's the most forgiving and the lines are helpful as level references when you're first learning.

I agree that the wave is a great place to start. It’s the pour over method I would use if I opened a shop... it’s more forgiving.

Thanks! I'm surprised the SS is preferred over the ceramic. Seems the heat retention of ceramic (or glass) would be a benefit.

Yeah I'm interested how they compare especially if you go extreme and feed the UNDAES-O with a linear PSU.

The SF-ND2 offers POE only. Are you using POE via a switch or do you have some type of high voltage injector?

@JayNYC PoE unmanaged switch

The staff were friendly too. They would have been friendlier if they hadn't /really/ wanted to watch their national football team play in the world cup, lol... I respected that and left them to it.

Oh, I might add that I am an ex Londoner, although I was there for a few weeks this year. No specific advice on this idea therefore... but you might be interested in seeking out one or two places that sell pro audio stuff.

Thanks y'all, Audio Sanctuary is a great store and I got to try a lot of nice cans (and the Chord Dave).

Because you're worried about how it's being treated or because your ears miss them?

My brother has my HD600's about 5 years now...

I miss them

Yah I think the no feedback synergizes well with the 800S since it has enough stage already and gives the bass a bit more oomph or flavor. Using it with the modded 6xx is amusing but feels like using a Ferrari for a grocery run.

sweet!

@pavi I wonder if you live nearby because I'm so curious how different the 300B + feedback sounds.
