I'm still trying to verify if an HDCD compatible player I have is working or not. I haven't been able to get the HDCD light to come on with anything I have put in it. Supposedly Roxy Music-Avalon is an HDCD, but my copy was licensed by BMG, so I don't know if it really is an HDCD or not.

What was the previous best?

Into girl singers lately (always?): Garbage: I'm Only Happpy When It Rains Curve: Lillies Dying (actually, a bunch of Curve stuff comes to mind. Just wish they were recorded better.)

I agree. The RMAF thing should not be called CanJam... perhaps CJ Sampler?

You could also get some alligator or mini-grabber adapter clips such as these and take a crappy RCA plug, strip it, and clip onto the shell of it. Many test lead sets come with an assortment of attachments. I use a set from Mueller that works pretty well and wasn't very expensive.

Very nice work!

Returned to work

I agree. I still only have maybe 20 hours on mine (probably less). Need to work on that

That sucks Vicky! Sorry to hear about it, but glad you had the phone and the JH13s with you.

That was really nice of Doug to take the time to do this. I would really appreciate it if he would ever have the time to take a look at my Counterpoint preamp that I have been working on with limited success for quite some time to eradicate a bit of noise.

Happy Birthday!

Neat... congrats!

Happy Birthday!

That and the ones that can tell you what plating is used, and whether there is tin plating under the gold -> copper or not. And yes, they are serious They don't seem to reveal PCB construction, etc. though.

Happy Birthday!

I hadn't heard that Les was done doing Survivorman... bummer as I liked that show. I can certainly see how it could be hard on you though when he put it in perspective of having 25 weeks where he basically had starved

I don't think the Dynalo/Dynahi architectures can run at a gain below 5 or so (IIRC?). Like they said, go balanced if you want improvements, although from the pics you posted on HF, I would do a better PSU (can you say sigma22) first. It will make a difference.

Happy Birthday!

I knew I had seen a post by someone claiming that the German Maestro cans were really bright (from the N. Cal meet thread): Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - NorCal 8/8/09 meet impressions

Glad to hear your wife is OK Al. Scary.

Happy Birthday!

At least I assume that is a good thing...

Happy Birthday!

I bought a pair of the SRH840s and like them so far. I did note somewhat of a mid-bass hump on classical material. Midrange and treble seems quite good independent of the bass; these are not bright at all but very smooth and well controlled IMO. I have not done anything other than listen to these (i.e., no break-in if you believe in that). I am driving these with a Gilmore Dynamic (w/Gilmore PSU). If the SRH440s were more neutral, I might be more interested in them, but so far I think I will keep the 840s. I also have a pair of AKG K271s with velour pads that I use at work for comparison.

Happy Birthday gents!
