I "think" the headphone they have here is a prototype... FWIW

I actually love the look of the McStuff.  I could see myself with a  room full of it!   :P

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Gavin posted that they have the final boards for the geek out. Check out LH if you have time and see if the unit sounds the same as the one you heard at RMAF :)

Yup, impressions incoming...w/ caveats.

Mike, one late edition - Goldenear has the new triton one, and if it performs anything like the hype I may end up getting one for HT.  If you get a chance, they are in Venetian 29-131/132.  PASS/MSB electronics, but only 5K for a lot of speaker.

I was not impressed at all tbh.  Too much unevenness in the FR and didn't find the surround, spatialization doing anything well.  Maybe for movies, but not for music IMO.  I don't think you'd be happy w/ it.  I might prefer Bose depending....

Don't really have any interest in this, but in case anyone else does - mcintosh also has a new headphone at the show.  Rebranded Beyer (T5P?) but with a darker sound signature according to their rep.

It was at the show but not auditionable.  Had a good listen to the amp though, more on that tomorrow.

That is correct.

Hope it's not too late for this last minute request!! 

That is also correct.  Just drove back.  I also don't a have a proper sample so perhaps stick to Rogaine for now?  ;p

Definitive Tech along with Goldean Ear have always been absolute darlings of the audio press. Never lived up to the insane hype IMO.

Another request, Marten will be there with their new Coltrane Supreme S2. Should be a hell of a speaker.


I know the guy who bought the pair of Supreme 2's that Marten was showing at CES. They are bringing them from Vegas to his house this week. They're only $375K for a pair.

He also bought all those diffusors in the room too.

It will be interesting to see how they sound because his room is way too bright, especially for those speakers.
