    9th Calgary Headfi Meet! Sept 8 2013

    I'm curious as well if anyone is interested in "lower end" gear, source etc.  Wondering if it makes sense to bring my stuff:   Sources: Macbook without any HD files - about 50% CD Rip AIFF and 50% 320k MP3 iPod Video and iPod Classic   DACs: Schiit Bifrost optical only (harder to bring as...

    John Mayer - Paradise Valley - Anyone else enjoying this album?

    I'm listening to it right now - and loving it.  Born and Raised has been in regular rotation for me and now this one will be. The slide in Waiting on the Day - awesome!

    [VIDEO] Portable High-end Headphone Amp Guide

    Thanks for making the video. It was a good overview of these options.   I have a question about balanced vs single ended.  For an amp like the ALO RX is there a noticeable difference in sound between the balanced output and the single ended output on the same amp?  How does it differ?  e.g...

    post your grado mods....

    I have a super basic question that probably isn't worthy of this thread - but I'm guessing you guys can help.   I have a pair of SR60i's that I modded thanks to this thread by removing some of veiling and using felt inside the plastic.  I also added the larger cushions which seem to sound...

    Cardas Ear Speakers delayed but worth the wait!

    After listening for more than a week I think I spoke to soon on the bass.  It still seems a little loose to me and I haven't yet picked up an amp to see if there is any improvement. BUT... the truth is I no longer really notice.   With these iems I find myself just getting sucked into the...

    Does anyone know how often you are supposed to run the clarifier app?  How long do run it for?

    Quote: If it isn't too much trouble to bring them I would definitely be interested in hearing the Audioengine D1 and the ATH-M50s.  They are both items I have considered purchasing.

    Cardas Ear Speakers delayed but worth the wait!

    I gave both the white and blue tips a good listening session and personally prefer the blue.   It's not that I find the bass over-powering - I actually really like the overall sound signature - I just find it a little loose.  When there is a complex bass line it seems to have trouble keeping...

    Cardas Ear Speakers delayed but worth the wait!

    Just purchased a pair of these from Todd R and received them yesterday.  Listened for a good long session last night and again today while working.  Initially I was a little disappointed but they are steadily growing on me.  Particularly as I skew my listening towards my higher resolution files...

    Haute Schiit! Bifrost is world's most affordable fully upgradable DAC

    I've had a bifrost running for about a month now in my main listening room. I can not get over how much it has improved with burn in! I have always been skeptical of burn in on solid state electronics - but it's real to me now. The sound is warmer, more detailed and has better imaging. Amazing!
