Going Digital!

Little Brotha,

Lest one forgets?, seeming you've been enjoying your headphones, and mentioned cabling them, this company gets lots of ink over on Head-Fi as well:

Looking even closer - it mentions Denon Can Cabling replacement:

Later Bro.

Man, Great brains think alike. I was just over at head-fi a few days ago and ran across a cat who has the same D600 that I have and he order a pair of Mateusz of Forza Audio Works headphone cables as well. Tho he never gave a review of them or mentioned how the sound, So I went over to his site and noticed he has silver as well as copper and they are occ as well as cryod! I find he may be a hair cheaper than Norne cable which is state side. Lee Harvey suggested I let the headphones run in before I purchase cables, and thats what I am doing....they do sound better now but I can assure you they could benifit from a little silver as well seeing the DAC as well as the phones are on the warm side of things...so its important to make the right move when ordering headphone cables. You know your own saying....do it right, do it once.

Once again, thanks for the heads up!

BTW...I've had the headphone on and listening all weekend and have about 30 hours on them....No set of cans are perfect and they do have their set of sins as well.....bass a little strong on certain recordings....mids slightly recessed and a tad warm. But certainly no reason to discard them....and besides...they come with two pairs of cables to which are only OFC. Once I get new cabling I think they will be even more enjoyable......and I will get the right cable. But for now....I am really loving them. They put do pressure on my ears whatsoever...even after listening for like 5 hours straight, no issues whatsoever. No listener fatigue here.

In a minute!

Like minded, like spirit as well.

Once again I knew from day zero we'd hit it off, and then knowing your spiritual background has made me even more concerned about how I'd often handle situations and has made me mellow somewhat as opposed to taking things to heart and feeling the need to drive through the screen and catch a case.

But I'm very certain that when all is said and done that you'll take your time in voicing them correctly, as we both know - one brand of cable does not a system make - and it's then best we each find our own " TRUTHS ".

Enjoy yourself, and let's keep this party going - once again, it has proven to be a very worthwhile journey.

In a Minute!, Blood.
 
No doubt! And yeah...I might worship the Lord, but I still feel like catching a case at times...especially when dealing with some of these engineers and clients at work. They can be down right nasty! Like today...I was speaking to a client over in Hawaii about his network and he was talking all bad and being a jerk! Yeah, im in St. Louis and he's way over there talking bad. A few days ago, one of the guys in the NOC by mistake took down a clients entire network by mistake. Took him about 1 hour to find the mistake and bring it back up remotely. I think the client was up in north western America. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the tech took a beating that day. The longer those networks are down, the more $$$$ a company stands to loose. So yeah, we take a beat down daily. Yeah, some times I feel like catching a case. When its bad, I can just go home and relax and work it off with my stereo....when its "feel like catching a case"bad...its my faith, then my music.

Here now!, it sounds like we've switched positions as I used to be the one ready to catch a flight to someone's town and ask to come out behind the shed/bad and lets handle things like we did in the olde days, but would ask them before hand not to cry assault once they regained consciousness - we all know the types like a small dog behind a gate barking it's behind off until you open the door for him to come onto the other side.

But I'd always let my managers and co-workers alike know, I'm a team player and try to be respectable by choice, but if need be?, I can just as easily bit all kind of ass when someone's being disrespectful - as I'd care less about any job versus my sense of self worth or pride, and after they'd look up and see my facial expressions - not a single soul ever tried me in over 34 years on the job.

Losing my freedom isn't an option, but cross me the wrong way.........,man - let's just say " I know some people, that know some people ".

With that being off my chest, have a good one little Brotha and stay the course, I know it's hard with all the tension still lingering in the air in and around Ferguson - and while I don't watch the news at all because of all the senseless murder and negativity in the world - I do catch glimpses of it between programs, which is why I adore living in the suburbs, you/they can burn Detroit for all I care.

Breathe Oscar, I know, I know.

Live, Learn, Love, Laugh I'd say these days.

In a minute Youngblood.
 
Bro....something like this will always take off the edge. Check out the iFI!

Yes!!!!!!!!!, I feel much better already, iFi - Quads and Kuzma ( which I've been getting on you about for awhile - talking about you don't like its appearance ) man it's the sound that counts, and this line along with a few of the German made one are extremely well made as well as musical and worthy of your consideration and then some.

You can keep the PrimaLuna thou, I'd prefer either Cayin or Octave any day of the week compared to their sonics, but as always - I'm extremely biased that way.

 
Man...I love Octave Audio. But thing is, each and every time I listened to Octive, they where mated with Dynaudio. But I know why, Dynaudio is the USA distributor. But man, Octave Aidio would be much better pair with German speakers. And that Kuzma is looking good! I'd take that or an Avid! Yes they've grown on me.:yes:

True That.

And while I've never heard a single Octave component - I'm quite good at reading between the lines on the countless reviews/articles on each one enough to have gained a clear picture of what they're capable of as far as music reproduction goes........., and like you - I absolutely adore me some

" Tidal Speakers ". Now we're talking, I believe most so-called music lovers simply aren't aware that the German creations are built upon transparency - neutrality as well as resolution and can't relate to things that don't add sweeteners ( warm coloration ) to their systems and associate German gear as to relieving when it's merely more honest about giving you what's there instead of sugar coating the sound.

I much prefer a system that's neutral enough to where I'm able to play any sort of genre of music equally as well, instead of making excuses why it only plays audiophile approved recordings - what a bunch of BS!. If the system is a clicking!, I say leave it be and add to your music collection, lest one likes doubting their own hearing that is?.

Great choices on the turntable end as well, as you might recall?, I like them both as well........., and it's nice to know that their respective uniqueness has grown on you.

Peace little Brotha.

 
Bro...I heard all that! Did you say Tidal....
agoria-mid.jpg
Yes sir, as well as Canton Reference K1's
reference_1k_schwarz-1.jpg


Yeah...German gear! I love it!

And heres a little more Ifi Porn for ya! You dont have to spend a lot to get great sound out of a DAC if the other gear is righteous.

Absolutely lovin' it!!!!!!!. And then some, whom would've thought to use the iFi phono-stage with such an exotic table!.
 
I hate cans. Simple as that. Much rather not listen to anything.

Vinyl's too bulky for this setup.
Is using Foobar for DSD playback no good?
