I just remembered this, checked their site, and see nothing. Is there no satisfaction? I want my Rag + remote announcement dangit! :)

I have a feeling I know what this is...

Perhaps not today after all?

As someone who's never owned one, it's very visually striking in person every time I see one in person.

They are so alien that people continue to wear them backwards at meets. Whats up with that?

Solid-state output stage usually means low output Z. However some transformer coupled tube amps sound fabulous with 25 ohms cans like the TH-900.

Thanks Marv

well, it's more like they amped up the MSRP when they were introduced but even then dealers have been selling utopias for closer to 3k for a long time. meaning dealers had a pretty decent margin to work with. they should come down to 2-2.5k but it'll take a while longer for that probably!

I wonder if that's the Multibit or the 4490.

Bought the original ifi amp because I liked the effect of its settings switches in the shop. On longer listening... it is album, even *song* dependent.

Previously, never found any software implementation that I could make work to my liking. NB: Linux, no Windows, and I haven't tried for a long time.

I need to start looking into a crossfeed solution for audirvana for Mac. It's difficult to listen to some jazz recordings with headphones with the way they're mixed.

I use both the crossfeed and/or the EQ switches on my Meier amp to obtain the most pleasant sound that I am able with the particular recording and headphones. Sometimes I use neither: it all depends on what's needed.

the elear is not that headphone though. you're better off with the zach effron or modded hd6x0/580 and spending that cash on a good amp for them.

i should also say that mods helped the elear out quite a bit, but it totally totally lacked the cohesion of a hd6x0/580 and sounded disjointed and weird. or buy a pmx2 i guess.

I'm honestly torn on the Zach Effron. With genres like jazz and acoustic guitar, it blows my mind. Unfortunately, I'm mostly a classic rock / prog rock and electronic guy so the cup reverb of the Eikon can make tracks sound congested when things get busy. I sort of miss the airiness of opens as well.

Signal vs Noise

If it's youtube, then it's usually Noise vs Noise.

I'm commenting more on people broadcasting their feuds, which is getting old fast.

Ya, if it had been a public post, I would have said which company it was. The place really has become Ad-fi. Anyways, I told the guy to come here to continue posting info since one of his coworkers is already a member.

Same ol same ol http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/ibasso-dx50-80-90-modification-project.4812/#post-155357

Its basically extortion.

Original pressing is cheap and sounds great too (if vinyl is your thing). Their self titled album is also excellent :-)

Pico Power. Neutral, silent with IEMs and yet still enough cojones for headphones.

I need to dig up all my amps. I have the Glacier, leck, Alo RX and pico power, hahahaha.

I'd stay away from all HeadAmp portable stuff... insufficient safety circuitry and horrible customer service. You have been warned!

That sentence sounds so silly I am curious now.

I'm going to see it just to watch Theron kick some ass.

Good you got your amp. Some more impressions coming?

I just posted some preliminary impressions in the Audio Zenith PMx2 thread: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/audio-zenith-pmx2-redux-and-quick-impressions.60/page-4

I do not find the RS-2 bright. I do use warmer/darker headphones though.

I'm gonna miss Pasadena but I guess I'm moving to Westwood now. Super excited!

Way to go!

Very cool and a big congratulations! Remember us all when you film "SBAF: The Movie"...

200$ for a few resistors? Seems like you could diy it for $40 including a cheap case

You DIY it using his plans in the second link.

Yes. Warm, somewhat gooey, pleasant tone but un-resolving. Complete shit-fest via USB (not great via S/PDIF). Non-starter with low-impedance transducers. Better off with a Ross Martin PCM1794A if you need balanced output. Any Schiit amp will beat it's HP output.

Thanks @Torq ... sticking with the Modi Multibit for now but I'd like to find a good balanced DAC at some point. Ross Martin looks interesting for sure. I guess I should start saving for a Gungnir Multibit.

I hate the Oilers, so I loved that. Hopefully, the Ducks will finish them off next game.

How many outlets do you need?

I would try to avoid anything with MOVs, chokes, and isolation transformers if you want a conditioner that doesn't affect sound quality. Computer-focused power products have great outside noise reduction, but typically do nothing about noise generated by the components themselves.

Ideally, 6 to 8 outlets. After reading the thread Dino linked to, I'm considering the Emotive CMX 6 plugged into a Tripplite Isobar.

There's also this thread: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/clean-power-supply.1768. @shaizada has a recommendation that looks like it might work for you. Don't see specs though, but may be worth a look given the level of trust his ears garner.
