Whoops, hit reply and didn't mean to do so w/o posting pics... Tom's Krell Rig - sounded quite nice, as expected Bunch of Woo Gear Nikongod's toaster Supra - this is a heck of a setup, and his collection of old-school Grados is just awesome. Ng's source for the meet, surprisingly good for a budget rig I am now convinced that this is as real as trose gets... The Monkey's HR gear, I still really enjoy the balanced desktop Upstateguy's rig Headdirect (Fang) had lots of new stuff to show Hey, Jahn made it afterall NYC needs to start booking bigger rooms! lan doing his usual video thing The Pico, holy cow the thing is tiny Obigatory "I'm smaller than the hornet and have a DAC too" picture Yet again, one of Ray's power supplies blew a fuse and luckily I had my jumpers with me He doesn't look like a monkey... Potential next headphone?

Yikes, either I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did or somehow pictures got deleted from my camera??!??!

This place might not be slow for long if Head-Fi continues to look like this:

You know, I didn't try any of the Woo gear.

Uploading pictures now...

If you can stretch your budget to 800ish I think you can get a refurbed Macbook.

I just got home now, Ian won't be home for another 25 minutes or so. We're both wrecked and I'm only typing to keep myself up long enough to drink some much needed water. Great meet, some impressions will be Casino limited. Speaking of which, The Monkey is a worthy candidate for access.

We've got a Monkey!!!

Abe, I think you'll find if you just ask a clear and complete question folks around here will be very helpful.

Funny you'd say that since we were working on them last night.

In my experience the depth of cup plays a huge role. A lot of Larry's pairs use standard depth cups which may make some difference but I wouldn't expect much. I would put stock HF-1s better than any of the SR series but not on par with the RS-2/RS-1. Of course you, Jack, have friends that have been known to work with wood and Graods so you have options should you find yourself in possession of a pair of stock HF-1s.

New they were $200 + shipping. Used stock examples have gone for anywhere from the low $300s to over $400.

In a word, no. The 580 shares the driver with the 600, not the 650. And if they sound virtually identical to you I don't know what to say, they certainly don't to me.

You need to concentrate on listening to more music, I have yet to see the picture in your sig have more than 4 albums in it for a week.

Wow, be pretty cool if I pioneered a smiley. Problem is that it really looses effect at resolutions smaller than 60x60. Of course, this being Head-case there's no reason that we can't have a large format smiley and not limit ourselves to the typical 15x15 format.

You're kidding right?

I'd hardly call those specs high power, the mini3 puts out about 3x that much into 330ohm. I wonder how low the i-qube's output would be with a load like that?

Newb....

You know you can order the LTD direct from bluetin.com for ~$300 + shipping, right?

With the number of headphones in your collection how does anything get any listening time?

It's really just something that I'm toying with and probably shouldn't even be considering. I'm certainly not looking to take on another build any time soon, I'm up to my eyeballs in crap as it is. Thanks for the input though and it certainly applies to more than my situation.

Bunch of lazy bastards, not shocking at all. Thanks for the effort, man.

Well someone just posted a host of Lambda gear FS on HF, anyone care to make a recommendation for those of us thinking about sampling stats?
