Looks like I may need to change things up a bit. Looking forward to our chat, arnaud, I'll try to read up a bit on what options I have.

Sweet, yes, put your name on the spreadsheet. It'll take just a little bit of prep once I get the amp and first pair of cans in, then I'll let you know I'm ready and we'll get them measured.

Okay, all you math geeks out there, here's a few spreadsheets to play with. http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AKGK701.xls http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudezeLCD2Rev2.xls http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/BeyerdynamicT1SN3964.xls http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/GradoHF2.xls Love to see if the results are similar.

Heck yeah. Let me bundle up some of my spreadsheets and send them off to you for a looksee. I'll make sure an HD800 is in the group. Holy crap, those things are good. Be interesting to see how similar the results are.

God I love that kind of talk. You and me gotta get on the phone. PM sent.

^^ I've seen that guy.

Wow! Very nice Arnaud. Um, I'm gonna have to figure out how to integrate this into my measurements. Problem at this point is that I have probably 100 or more spreadsheets to modify, and no way I'd have the time. Gonna have to think about this ... because, damn, CSD data is nice.

I guess I wasn't really aware you could get CSD data from impulse response. Um ... I guess I'm interested 'cuz it does seem informative. Is there a way to use excel to calculate CSD?

Happy Birthday!

I've put my address info on the spread sheet. Gear on the list so far can be sent at y'alls convenience.

More of this guys killer surfing and ocean shots here.

Happy Bday, Don!

FWIW, I continue to be surprised at the finesse of the Butte. It does sound like a more expensive home amp to me.

I'm a pushover.

That's what I was waiting to hear. Estat measurements coming up. PM on the way SO! Wait ... what's this about a swamp?

Thanks, man, I really do appreciate it. Great to know there's a way forward, just looking for the most productive way.

Wow! That's very cool man, thanks. But the question is: should I be using a tube amp to do measurements? Would there be too much characteristic (second order for example) distortion on a tube amp to ferrit out a clean view of the headphone? Would I be better off with a dryer, but more technically accurate solid state amp so as to see the characteristics of the headphones more clearly? You'll have to pardon my ignorance guys, just have done many measurements of estats. The ones I have done were really weird though, so I'd love to know I'm off to a sure start. Don't want to have to do this stuff twice. What does the Stax mafia think?

Hope this is okay with everyone. Just make sure your gear is in needed in the spreadsheet, and then PM me and we'll coordinate the gear movement. Al, I am interested in the loan of an amp for a few months to get some cans measured. I have no idea if yours is a good one to use, or if I should be using another amp. I'd be happy to hear suggestions from others. I reckon I should use something as ballsy and neutral as I can so that the measurements reflect the headphones most accurately. So, suggestions welcome. Um ... once an amp is covered, I can measure one to three headphones a week, roughly. Headphones would be here one to two weeks. I try to move the DIY cans quickly, but have only been moderately successful. Anyway, I'll try to get them back quickly. Looking forward to measuring some stats!

Not sure what's going on, Al. But I'm happy to do some measurments. I don't have any estat amps at home, so I'll need one to do the measurements with. TMoney, would you carry on and keep track of this? Anyone sending me gear should PM me for my address. Thanks guys, looking forward to measuring some. Oh, Larry, I won't be bringing my measurement gear down to RMAF this year. Gotta do the reviewer thing. Sorry.

Just back from camping, so I'm a little late, but Happy Birthday Matt! I drank many beers in your honor!

Wooohooo! One day older and wiser. Happy b-day, Ian.

Hippity, hoppity, happity birthday!!!
