    Good to read you dealt with Justin. He has a great Cornscala setup in a small room you should hear. They do bass in a small room like I've never imagined possible.

    I got to hear his rig at his house! It was pretty amazeballs. I went over there to grab a couple tubes and ended up hanging out for a little while.

    Hey fellaz

    Canjam was CRAZY for me (my brother passed the Sat. after AND I'm moving this week - GEESUZ) - I started doin' social media work and some consulting for Cavalli - but I didn't expect to have to work the show! Stan (friend of the team) didn't show up on SAT. - so Warren asked me to set-up the Tungsten system and I had to host those freakin' auditions all day. As I said, jokingly (but, shit...) "I'm just an independent contractor - WTF" but I wouldn't let a friend down. So unfortunately my Sat. was shot - though I had fun hosting the auditions and got some great stuff for my upcoming Sonic Satori article for Positive Feedback - called Behind the Booths and Back - (like a diary-of - since I was doing work for Cavalli) - and I give SBAF SOME PROPS IN THE ARTICLE :D

    workin' on it now
    will share ASAP

    I got to walk around w/ Harmony on Sunday though - she was psyched to rock her super-cool Rosson-customized Headphone Princess LCD-Xs (and NO, he didn't just color the rings pink - and everybody who heard em who doubted that quickly changed their tune) - and I loved Dan Wrights Modwright headphone amp - w/ my own ETHERs + DHC Xtreme cable as reference - the music was effortless, and had those magical Modwright mids - and the bass slammed. I gotta hear it w/ my own kit...


    SBAF props comin'!!

    What amps would you consider as the top two SS amps you've heard for headphones?

    That would be both big Krells I've owned: the FPB 300cx and the Evolution 302e. For something that cost quite a bit less and is on this level as far as I can tell with headphones would be the Benchmark AHB2. The AHB2 is a very very good amp.

    How much ahead are these amps compared to pass labs or first watt?

    Never heard a real Pass Labs but it should be on the same level if you compare equivalent models. First Watts aren't in the same league but are also very good.
