THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.
🙌 🥳 🎧 (Sitting and listening to Gogo Penguin’s “A Humdrum Star” on the ZMF Atrium Closed with my Sony WM1A while enjoying the updates “at the watercooler”) Huge thanks to those who have pointed out Gogo Penguin’s incredible modern jazz in this forum. Their wonderful playing makes me smile. ❤️...- AudioDuck

Hear, hear! Plenty of good options around Seattle or the East Side. 👍- AudioDuck

Clearly name tags of some sort will be needed. 😁 Worst case I’ll buy a stack of “Hello, my name is…” white labels and carry them with a Sharpie.- AudioDuck

Excellent point. The vast majority or my listening is with my Bluesound Node 2 feeding my Gungnir MB DAC, so my control of playback is via WiFi, as the CDP is purely for backup and hardly ever sees use. 😉 The preamp needs line-of-sight IR remote control, hence I’ll keep it out in the open.- AudioDuck

Funnily enough my next audio-related purchase will be a new and larger/better cabinet for my setup. Thankfully I’ve found a very well-regarded builder in the area who has fair prices and lovely items. I’m thinking something like the below, with the headamps and preamp in the middle/open...- AudioDuck

Speaking of SoCal, I continue to be excited for CJ SoCal (my first!), so I’ll pop in regularly to check in on who’s able to make it. 😁 Is there usually a poll in advance or some “roundup posts” or anything to gather folks?- AudioDuck

Thank you! Looking into Bob James’ recordings now. Ran into this recording, which sounds interesting (binaural!)… anyone familiar with it?- AudioDuck

Summit-Fi Random Thoughts
FWIW, I have active ATC SCM-19A towers on IsoAcoustics Gaia footers (~$4,000 used) plus a Totem Storm sub on an IsoAcoustics Aperta sub stand (~$800 used) running off a Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE preamp ($1,000 used) with cables to taste/match. About $6,000 plus cables (using my existing...- AudioDuck

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

In addition to the sonic virtues of my Olivewood ACs, I was listening to them with my DAP this morning and reflecting on how (relatively) light and VERY comfortable they are with the BBB strap and Caldera Thin Suede pads. Just lovely comfort and of course a phenomenal listening experience.- AudioDuck
