cool

I'm young and I couldn't be less interested in headphones

Not nearly expensive enough..... heresy

Yup. You can't hear anything.... I guess all that speaker testing they did at the NRC in Canada is moot too.

Iteresting Grado appears to choose to use that Weiss ADC instead of the one internal to his Nagra VI or the TASCAM. Maybe he uses all 3 who knows. That Weiss ADC costs as much as the Nagra and 3x (or so) as much as the TASCAM. Almost certainly using PCM not DSD though.

Happy Birthday Man!

those poor PS-1 buyers are going to be pissed

Agreed. I'm not a big fan of transformer hum.

Every CD/SACD I own on random....

work..... tomorrow too... damn deadlines

it's just interim until I get my KGSS

Grawks old electrostatic amp

Happy Birthday!

I'm not so sure about this. There are several schools of thought as to the response of mastering studios. I am currently following the Etymotic curves shown in the post above (Flat plus 5-7db roll off). To be honest if I want that curve all I have to do is aim for it so no worries. If you can find me a plot that would be cool since I'd love to give it a try.

Yes that is. That is why I had that exact target curve on the DEQ. I can also upload the calibration file to my measurement software on the computer too but I haven't done that one yet because I don't have an extra mic cable and the XLR cable I usually use is being used to hook up the Phonitor.

Oh and I should mention that I now have a calibrated mic from this place: Cross·Spectrum - Calibrated Behringer ECM8000 Microphones for Sale They will calibrate down to 10Hz if you ask. One hell of a deal at $100. Will likely send my other mic for calibration too.

Dusty, not this weekend but some other time sure I did not do the L3000s since I generally like to ask owners before I defile their headphones by measuring them I was thinking about it today and I'm worried about the unit I have failing and being without or the unit going out of production so I'm planning on getting a second one to sit in the attic as a backup. Maybe that way I can get the power supply caps changed out too because apparently they fail sometimes.

I'm in the boat that populated boards or fully built are fine with me. Vlad I and I will work something out wrt the overall build. If we are going to go with professionally populated boards I may buy some extras for backup etc.

How so? As long as the output has low impedance that's pretty much all that matters. Or do all integrated have high output impedance headphone outs? Seems like a rather general statement to me. I'm pretty sure that some integrated amps have nice and low output impedance on the headphone outs.

Happy Birthday Colin!

happy birthday

I think you guys will be impressed with the Phonitor. The crossfeed is impressive. I'm looking forward to the meet.

Happy Birthday Heretic... I mean Darwin

PM Me we can likely do Sunday or Monday for a little while. Tues is our anniversary too.
