Professor Thump Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey Headbangers,Klipsch has announced to Head-Fi that the good Dr. Cochlear and Professor Thump will be showing our new headphones at CanJam08.If you are in the Florida area and interested in headphones or high end equipment you invited to attend CanJam08. There will be many friendly headphone geeks such as yours truely who will be there with their latest headphone designs. If you are a vinyl record fan Head-fi's logo for this year is in the spirit of vintage vinyl. Premium headphone amps in portable solid state and vacuum tube configurations will be a plenty. If you are headphone enthusiast or just a permanent commuter who wants to zone out this may be your gig. Rooms are available at very good prices if you are travelling from OOT. The dates will be May 3-4. You can get more information from Head-Fi’s website. Stick it in your ear! Here is our artwork to help promote the event. My thanks to Matt Miller and Katie Voorhest for their help in putting this logo together. Pretty cool huh? Klipsch has alway been about heritage so this is a perfect match. You will also want to note that there is a similar flavor here to our Klipsch Pilgrimage. Head-fiers love Tubes, Speakers and Partying! Go figure. So Saturday night there will be a Blues Band entertaining us all, but you must make your reservations quickly. Please see the links on Head-fi's website to find out more about this spectacular event where we will be making some new announcements. Come join us in Ft. Lauderdale!

kaiser SET say Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Enjoy that trip Professor, you should get a chance to hear the RSA Tomahawk, Justin's Pico amp with built in DAC not to mention someone might have RSA's new Predator amp which also has the built in DAC. These amps are great for desktop listening. You may want to hear the Mier Audio amps along with Head Direct's MiniBoxE+. All these amps should really make the Klipsch line of IEM's shine[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Thump Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Funny you should mention that. I just received amps from Ray Samuels today after talking to him about trying them out for CanJam08. He sent me a Hornet, Tomahawk and a Predator. Nice amps! Good build quality and quite small. If you have a predator you will want to note that it requires a 5 Volt DC power supply instead of the 12 VDC that comes with either of the other two amps. The digital input is also a novel approach. I am curious to see if it cleans up the Toshiba Laptap I have at home. I have to keep the master volume down low or it makes a strange digital swooshing noise. Just stick it in your ear!

kaiser SET say Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sweet Thump, I have the Ray's Tomahawk amp and I did look at the Predator but I think the Pico with DAC is a little better[] (Whole different DAC than Ray's, Pica is a true 24/96) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoreck Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've had the Pico for about a month now, and have been loving it. It definately cleaned up the output from my PC. The built in card had a audible static coming out of it, so now I get a nice clean smooth sound from the PC, and with the commute, the pico definately seems to manipulate the line out off the iTouch in a subtle but good way, definately helps with the dynamics when listening a little louder as compared to the stock iTouch output. Enjoy the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Thump Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The laptop I was using at home definately had problems with noisy a codec. I was pleasantly surprised when the Predator cleaned the audio up. Nice product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser SET say Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Now just imagine how good Ray's pre amps for home rigs sound!!! I would love his B-52 feeding a VK-55[] Have a great trip and enjoy[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
