Post what you're watching
Just watched the un-aired pilot. Without giving too much away for those that might want to watch I pretty much agree with all the changes that they made before airing the second pilot/first episode. The definitely refined their craft as they moved forward.

Nah, we'll all just charge him like we're MOT's if he ever asks for help!

Should I buy Quad 22L's as my first real speakers?
I thought IRL was the Indy Racing League?

Closed Phone for $100??
And I've got a pair of RP-22X's (EXTREME!) that I'll be putting through the paces over the next couple of weeks. I hope my rig is worth of their eXtremeness.

August 25th NorCal Regional Meet
Hmmm, now that's an interesting idea that I might just have to try...

Color me confused.

I disagree, it's not very often that I sell something for the price listed in the thread. Sometimes someone offers me more, sometimes I take less, either way the stated price is pretty much worthless.

New Portable USB DAC/Amp to preview at Maryland Meet
I had a chance to hear the Pico prototype at the Boston Meet yesterday. I was listening via HD650s to a mix of Eric Clapton and some Floyd and I have to say if I wasn't staring at the little marvel I would have sworn I was listening to a full sized rig. This setup had power in spades and fed by Justin's Mac laptop sounded fantastic. Great detail everywhere and plenty of, well, everything. In full disclosure I'm not the world's most picky or particular listener and more than anything what I strive to find in a rig is something that when I turn it on it goes away and lets me enjoy whatever I'm listening to. Justin's amp had me tapping my toe the entire time I listened. I think the ultimate compliment that I can pay any piece of commercial gear as a DIY'er is to say that I'd buy it, and in this case that's certainly true. Seeing the craftsmanship, attention to every detail, and overall passion that Justin put into this thing it's pretty clear that anything I would attempt would pretty much pale in comparison. I expect this will be a big hit for him.

Back to the edit window thing, there are times that I wish it was just a bit longer but really, I like the fact that you have to think before you post since there's limited opportunity to correct any f'ups.

Too much edition 9 love in Headfi....have u listened to them?
I spent some time with drp's edition 9's this weekend at the Boston Meet. They were sourced by a Resolution Audio Opus 21 and powered by a Rudistor RPX-100. I spent about 20 to 25 minutes of pretty focused listening with them mainly with female vocal material (Patty Griffin and TNP). I have to say, for a $1500 headphone I was left wanting. As others have noted they have prodigious, well defined bass but more than the midrange flaw that everyone else seems to find I found the highs to be way off. It was the first time in a long time that I noticed something glaringly wrong with a high-end set of cans. To my ears they were very sibilant to the point of it really being hard to enjoy what I was listening to without concentration on this flaw, and I'm not usually all that sensitive to that type of sound so this seemed doubly weird. And being able to compare these side by side to the HE60s didn't do the ED9's any favors either. I may be in big trouble after listening to the Baby O's...

What are the purtiest headphones ever?

Me too, 9am EST. Time to finish packing for the Boston Meet. Random smiley =- Recommend me some universal players
If anyone is looking, jp#'s listed his Exemplar modded Denon 2900.- New Aikido Headamp kit
It's a sad state of affairs that I still haven't built my Aikido. I really should put that on the list next. [edit]Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he already offering the mono kits as seen here? Although I guess that's not a headamp specific kit, my bad, i suck, i'm stopping the edits now...- Which R10 should be recabled with a balanced cable?
I'd go with whichever one sounds better to you single-ended. You can always go back if you don't like the changes that balanced drive makes, right?- Is this guy high?
I'd like to think that he really did have other business in Cali, since he and I discussed that the two meets were so close that it meant one or the other but meh, I just hope Justin catches his flight as I'd really like to meet him and hear some of his gear.- Is this guy high?
Ahhh crap, evidently Ray bailed on us for "personal business" in CA. :'(- I need a lense for my camera, Canon
Not sure if you're aware, but make sure to take the cropping factor into account when looking at lenses. So on that body a 24mm prime would be a 38.5mm equivalent due to the 1.6x crop factor.- Is this guy high?
Yeah, it's pretty clear he's flipping for profit but he keeps the number of threads pretty low and therefore skates by.- Is this guy high?
If I get a good pic I'll post a thread in the Casino.- Is this guy high?
Roger that, picture of ass clown added to 'to do' list for meet. I'll try to get a picture of the man-hug he'll probably give Ray when they see each other.- Is this guy high?
Oh I know, I was just attempting to be funny. I'm going to offer him $250 for them this weekend.- Is this guy high?
