Sup guys and long time no see. Life has been hectic and hard this year for me, went through a lot but my love for music and headphones are still alive and well. From what i've seen nobody has hosted a TT session anytime recently hahaha. Anybody interested in having a get together like last time? I'm hoping for it to be on the last week of October which gives a lot of time for planning.

Date: 2nd November
Time: 2pm onwards

A wonderful event indeed. biggrin.gif
It was a pleasure to meet with all of you music enthusiasts and had the chance to try lots of audio gears.
The Dita The Answer and JVC-FX850 leaves me the best impression so far (especially Dita, but they cost an arm and a leg).
Lego Warfare, I'm happy to report that there is no signs of hissing from the Sony NWZ-A15 from my experience. smile.gif

Let's see, I've tested it with the following:

Panasonic HJE900
Shure SE425
1964 V3 (Universal fit)
Dita The Answer

I've turned off all the features when testing the A15 (things like DSEE HX, Clear Audio and so on).

auditioned:
- LCD X with ALO RX MK3 B+
- oppo PM1 and oppo HA1
- Sony MDR-Z7 with PHA-3 + Sony custom Kimber cable , and MDR-Z7 with ALO RX MK3 B+

Source:
my Sony Xperia Z1 3.5mm out or usb out with the PHA-3

rough summary:
i still prefer the LCD3 over the LCD X joshuachew comments? lol (if it gets too much we can shift towards the Audeze thread)
the MDR-Z7 is definitely the star for me, threw me off guard as to how close cans typically sound.

heck, E1 - AKG told me it's semi open/closed, however Sony themselves specify it as closed so tongue.gif

i really like the PHA-3, especially as a portal since it can connect usb with my Xperia phone easily.
however the power charging is a total turn off as it drains faster than the puny usb power source could charge it.

in the end i still prefer the stock cable over the kimber ones http://store.sony.com/high-performance-bal...le-Audio-Cables
because:
- comes with the headphone
- black chrome > colorful oddness
- biased preference against silver cables tongue.gif

and ALO audio RX MK3 B+ over the PHA-3 mainly because the PRAT ALO audio amp can provide.
the bass is also definitely much better on the alo than PHA-3

to sum up on the oppo - the bass just doesn't meet my minimum requirement tongue.gif

I got to test the Alpha Dog and Dunu DN-2000, so I guess that was nice.

**also, I got pictures from the meet. Want me to upload them?

Got quite a lot of things E1 AKG prepared and brought by the various participants. So fun

Chord Hugo on the foreground, Oppo HA-1 in the background with the (i think) Oppo PM-1 headphones. Or is it different model?
I didn't get to test any of those since I talk and walk a lot. Sure would be nice to get to try the Hugo. Yuka said they created the circuit from scratch instead of using aftermarket chips so the sound is unique/different.

Sony MDR-Z7 with the balanced cable, MrSpeakers Alpha Dog, Modded Fostex T50RP, top left corner is Sony PHA-3 amp.
Got to test out the Alpha Dog from a USB DAC+amp dongle, didn't get to know the name/model so sorry. I liked the openness of the Dogs.

The rest of the people and gears, still got some more people who weren't in the frame. Some were chatting at the right side of the table, I joined in listening so didn't listen to a lot of the equipment tongue.gif

Finally got my hands on the AK240 with DSD files since I requested E1-AKG for some DSD goodness. Didn't like Sting - Desert Rose as the sibilance is pretty bad (to me since I don't like sibilance that much) but Eagles - Last Resort was so goooood (or was it New Kid In Town? confused between this two songs).
Tried it out on my setup AK240 > Lovely Cube Premium > HD650, I've never heard the HD600 yet and people have their own preferences whether they like the HD600 or HD650. Interested to listen to the HD600 one day and find out how lighter the bass is based on people's impressions.

Sudden realization that the retarded big plug size for the AKG K551 is the same size as the 1/8 to 1/4 inch jack converter. That's probably their reason why the big size. This headphone was primarily advertised as portable cans for use with iDevices since it has mic and 3 button controls, but the retarded big jack size prohibits usage of case on phones or tablets/iPods.

Yep, they mentioned that the Hugo was design and built in-house from the ground up. That might explain its hefty price tag.
Sadly, I forgot to try them before I left as the things they chat are interesting. sweat.gif

Thanks a lot to @problem for passing this large hippocase to me at the time I needed a case the most. It can fit all of my cans and the IEM box.

Yes they were, but not many people tried it because most people were at the right side of the table. It wasn't really that "wow" don't worry you didn't miss out much laugh.gif

HD600 has a dark sound with tight bass. Soundstage and imaging is average for an open can
K551 wont fit even with a case with a biggest hole doh.gif

auditioned:
- LCD X with ALO RX MK3 B+
- oppo PM1 and oppo HA1
- Sony MDR-Z7 with PHA-3 + Sony custom Kimber cable , and MDR-Z7 with ALO RX MK3 B+

Source:
my Sony Xperia Z1 3.5mm out or usb out with the PHA-3

rough summary:
i still prefer the LCD3 over the LCD X joshuachew comments? lol (if it gets too much we can shift towards the Audeze thread)
the MDR-Z7 is definitely the star for me, threw me off guard as to how close cans typically sound.

heck, E1 - AKG told me it's semi open/closed, however Sony themselves specify it as closed so tongue.gif

i really like the PHA-3, especially as a portal since it can connect usb with my Xperia phone easily.
however the power charging is a total turn off as it drains faster than the puny usb power source could charge it.

in the end i still prefer the stock cable over the kimber ones http://store.sony.com/high-performance-bal...le-Audio-Cables

Haha. If you prefer the 3 over the x there isn't anything for me to comment. I can't comment on your preference.

Hahaha, saw my mug on a few of the pic (Dude in grey shirt)

Great event, got to test out the Dita's etc., but not the Z7, that one too addictive liao, everyone kept queuing for it =D

The Z5's really impressed me as well as the EX1000 paired with the Ak240/Chord.

I think you're playing music on your headphones too loud. Can hear like a ringtone is going off.
