What are you worried about?

Agreed.

No, it was a Compass. USB input wouldn't work, switch on the front panel had four stops instead of the 3 it should have (mystery input?) and Gene's quote after listening for a bit with the HF-2 was, "Wow, that sounded like shit." I wouldn't hold him to that initial impression but functionally it was not at all impressive. No instructions and not particularly intuitive - what the hell does the "S" button do?

This is nonsense, you were my lawyer first.

Gene and I were not impressed with whatever his raffle prize was.

WTF ever made you Google that, for images!?!?! Wait... I don't want to know.

I believe the clamps are there to keep the table cloth in place so that it cannot be ripped off by the weight of the flesh-tone cable monsters. Nate hopes he cannot be sued for using the term "monster" in connection with something clearly audio related.

It's not my grammatical fail. And I'm sure David would correct the other stuff if someone pointed it out to him, I didn't say anything about Neko or Manley.

Yup, but I don't have it here at work.

It's been corrected, I got an email back from David Clark last night. What's funny is he used the description I sent to him of what was in the photo pretty much verbatim.

I think that that is the most posts I've ever had removed off Head-Fi in one day. Not that I blame or think jude did the wrong thing, it's just said everyone else won't get to see what a colossal douche markl is.

I might be able to ask someone about purchasing these tubes in quantity if you're serious about a group buy for them.

Oh no, I've been rebuked.

I'm not.

I agree, it's blatant dishonesty. Slow is the last thing that comes to mind with the HD800s. And the cure-all cable nonsense is well, just nonsense. I mean I've been known to recable a headphone or 3 but come on, none of them have ever transformed a headphone for me. Subtle tweak, yes, earth-shattering change GTFO.

It's official, he's gone off the deep end of audio insanity. Anyone in the market for a free embolism should read #8 on his list...

Correct, all solid state, no tubes, digital volume control with variable LED to indicate volume level.

Welcome to head-case Matt.

The Millett portable, ya lucky bastard!

Wish I'd gotten to take a listen too, but the only cans I had with me at the time were the O2s.

Nope, I don't spend much time worrying about the audio stuff either. The largest difference of course being that I can't build my own TV. But most would dismiss a lot of the gear in my sig from a technical standpoint. Oh nos, my DAC uses opamps and my transport uses some cheap drawer thingy! My amp has a highish output impedance, NOT THAT!!?!?! And my primary dynamic headphones cost $200. I'm clearly missing out on just about everything when you look at it like that. The stat rig, well, the amount of wheeling and dealing it took to put that list together is not insignificant. And it's not exactly set in stone yet. That's fine, but not everyone is to the same degree. You make it sound like the Vizio is throwing money away, I'm not sure it's quite to that level of inadequate.

I sent them an email about it this morning.

Eh, some of us just watch our TV's and don't analyze the hell out of them. My in-laws have a Vizio, it's fine and has never had a picture so bad that it caused me to notice. Not every purchase needs to be taken to the nth degree of scrutinization or have its budget expanded to get something better. And maybe it's just me but I have neither the time nor inclination to read an 88 page thread about a TV.

Like I said, it deserves more consideration. I've already got a set of cups to go on them so it wouldn't take much to give them a spin as a set of woodys. But I'll probably wait until they've got 100hrs on them or more to see how they sit with me and Mr. Menace.

Is this or any similar project ever going to get published? Headwize is still roached and Chu hasn't updated the news page in over a month so it's hard to think that good things are happening there. It'd be a shame if this project just went away.
