Looks like I’m spending Sunday morning moving Hammonds…picking up a 1960 C3 to replace the M3 at the studio. FINALLY found one for a price I could justify. And someone with a box truck wants my M3 so moving will be easier than I expected. Win win!  |

Some progress in the monitoring department... A SPL Phonitor 2 headphone amp with its 4 output extension is on its way. spl.audio/en/spl-produkt/phonitor-2/Also on its way, a pair of Dan Clark Audio E3 planar magnetic headphones  ! www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dan-clark-e3-headphone-review.50062/ I tried the E3 among other headphones, they are so, so good. The hype is real ! In the sweet spot, the DCA Stealth flagships had a more impressive sound (absolutely perfect sound, so neutral, resolving yet natural, you forget you wear headphones) but the fit was not good on my small head, and the sound inside the cup subject to changes depending on the position of the ears relative to the pads. So for the purpose of mixing, at half the price of the Stealth, the E3 seemed like the better choice overall. It's so confortable & the sound is so good ! If DCA releases a Stealth mk2 that gets the fit and the stability of the sound right, I'll jump on it, for it delivers a sound I've never heard before, on any system. The E3, to me, are the next best thing. They rival the Stealth. They might be better, even, I don't know. It's the first time I try high-end headphones, and I'm amazed... I've tried the crossfeed analog emulation of the SPL headphone amp with the E3. At first I didn't liked it, but I now come to the conclusion that the crossfeed matrix faithfully reproduces the sound presentation of stereo monitors. The slight decrease in bass impact, the frontal view... It's not necessarily a pleasing effect, it's subtle but also it feels quite real to me. The Stealth/E3 are better, I think, than my recently acquired PSI audio A-21M. On a side note, the Austrian Audio Composer are very impressive too, kind of like the E3 with a bit less bass & with dynamic drivers ; and the Heddphone Two are incredibly punchy detail-oriented monsters (I could see them being useful as magnifying glasses in the studio that you listen from time to time, but not all the time). |

I recently bought a pair of Audeze LCD-5’s and they’ve really changed my life. I really don’t feel the need to have speakers at home when I’m working alone. I can wear them for 8 hours and don’t have any fatigue or pain like other headphone I’ve tried. After a few months with them now I pretty much exclusively mix on them when I’m at home and enjoy it to the point that I think I’m going strip down my home set up to just phones and my RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE I hope the Dan Clark’s give you a similar experience! |

Recently pulled the trigger on a Stamchild 660, which should hopefully arrive within the next couple of weeks. And while not gear, I recently found a new, sealed copy of the "Recording The Beatles" book for about half of what it goes for these days on the used market. Looking forward to receiving both.

That might be the new MkII or whatever. Plus I got this one for about half that used.

I love the Aurora (N) -- I'm guessing the Hilo is really great.

£3,624.25 £3,769.00 That's kind of odd. Usually for a price adjustment we'd see the regular price crossed out and a lower price listed as a sale price. However, here we see the regular price crossed out and a *higher* price listed instead. Is this like the anti-sale?! It's not the VAT 'cause that is listed separately below the strikeout price. |

Cardas XLR cable with EMC Neutrik connectors purchased special order from geistnote.com.
Silenced the hum problem in my SONY C-100.
Sounds really good IMO.

Totally off topic… but anyone know how to contact plinker? He’s been absent for a bit, and I’m curious about his item for sale in classifieds. |
