It was, though it used an upgraded power supply.

Bah, the difference between our listening levels is shocking, but it's not only because I listen loudly... it is also because you listen very quietly. Compared to 'normal' listening levels, I'm just a bit higher. I'm not Ray or anything.

I tried mine with my T-amp and didn't like it, but others have had good experience with the Red Wine audio tripath amps, so who knows... EDIT: You need to reterm your headphones to balanced though as the grounds can't be tied together. FYI

I actually don't listen THAT loud, this rumour is really getting out of hand.

That's crazy talk!

That sounds about right to me.

Is it a digital stepper in the Capitole? Or do they have one of those Joshua tree types where it is a pot controlling the steps? I doubt there is a 100 position switch in there, but if there is, I'm impressed.

Happy Birthday Guys!!!

I didn't even notice until GlendaleViper posted about the outage over at Dungeon-Fidelity. Now that I know, it is sort of bothering me though.

Happy Birthday Billy!!!

I wonder how many people actually work for Meitner?

The Luna is a great amp, my favorite from the first National with my K340s... and that includes the SDS-XLR and Headroom Balanced Max. Though the Singlepower was rolled with tubes to match the R10s, so who knows if more appropriate K340 tubes were used.

I've heard this before and it puzzles me, but I guess it could be a preference thing. I used to own a pair of HF-1's, and I liked them well enough, but I thought the RS-1 was a clear step up with the right amp. Recently I've been falling back into the Grado camp, and flirting with the RS-1 and MS-Pro. Maybe I should give the HF-1's another listen given my new tastes. Also, though I know there must be some variance in Larry's mods, I thought that the HHF-1's I heard [pixel_pusher's pair] were actually worse than my stock HF-1's back when I owned them.

I'm the same way. At least you know that your final product will be in perfect working order and built to your specifications... not all manufacturers are so reliable that way.

Why? You've got an RS-1. I wouldn't bother personally.

Agreed.

Nice! Can't wait to see the beast.

Sweet, that's what I was thinking of. I was also pretty happy with my T-Amp/Polk RTi4 setup with my computer. Thats been regulated to the TV/Wii now though and I use my QP85's and a mosfet amp on my computer.

Crap, can't remember what they are called... little planar speakers made for the computer... come on, someone help me out here. Anyways, heard them in windsor and they were pretty decent.

Have you tried comparing crazy powerful tube monoblocks to your Krells Tom?

Oh yeah, well I convert DSD to PCM for fun!

I almost built it [or had you/Renato build it for me rather ]... the only bitch is finding tube sockets that don't melt if I remember correctly.

LOL, great post.

Maybe you're wearing them wrong? At a recent meet I played around with positioning on the RS-1's and Ms-Pro's I was listening to and it made a remarkable difference.

Fair enough.
