If you want to get there on your own dime, Tyll has a few days available for the common folk to listen 9am-5pm.
Unfortunately with working full-time and school full-time it's not feasible :(

I would check the "beef thread." His fluffy cuteness loves beef with his carrots.

Tatanka! :P

Buffalo it is!  Plenty of that around with Ted's ranch near by.

Problem with buffalo is that it's not fatty enough. Good meat has to be pretty fatty, IMO.

Now lamb...and duck...that shit's good.

Copied from the Alternative Transport thread WRT to listening to Antelope's 10M Rubidium clock:

@Anax

I know their converters are mediocre at best. I was thinking in terms of reclocking a source to which they have a better reputation for.

I have read two general opinions regarding this: From those who haven't heard it say it shouldn't matter theoretically. Those that have heard it say it makes a significant audible improvement. I've wondered if the latter opinion was financially incentivized TBH.

I just thought it would be interesting to listen to their Platinum DAC with and without the added 10M clock.

I was really interested in reclocking a few years ago, too, and the Antelope reclockers are highly regarded.

After reading up in a lot of hi-end audio forums, it seems like the consensus was that reclocking makes no difference and is only applicable if you actually have a mastering studio with a lot of devices interacting together.

If anyone here has been able to test with and without reclocking, I'd love to hear impressions, but my understanding is that it wouldn't make any difference for the setups most of us are running with.

Agreed on the mastering application consensus. I've read that too. Here's an Antelope 10M vid that supports that with a bonus Wu Tang history lesson.



It's interesting though that Antelope has packaged up the 10M for audiophiles. The MSRP for the Zodiac Platinum and Voltikus PS is $5500. You have to add an additional $7500 to include the 10M in the bundle.

Hopefully Mike will have a chance this weekend to rotate the 10M in and out of that bundle and give us the verdict.

Just got back from Tyll's "BIG Sound 2015", WOW...

I've never listened to that caliber of equipment before. It's been a few years since I've discovered the headphone hobby, and it was quite the humbling experience to be in that room with six figures worth of gear.

I expected the sonic difference between amps to be much more noticeable, and I had my ass handed to me by the testing. I had to throw in the towel by the time I had some alone time with the Yggy and Antelope... I would not be able to distinguish between them if my life depended on it...

Tyll's room probably saved me thousands of dollars in future upgrades, that would have not got my ears any further down the road of audio nirvana. My lesson was... People don't have to sell the farm to have a system that truly makes them happy.

Tyll was an awesome host, and told it like it is. No fluff or sugar coating anything, and I truly appreciate him being a straight shooter  :)p1

Take it for what it's worth, but my rookie ears liked the Anaxilus modded HD800's the most. Tyll didn't tell me they were modded until I was almost done.

Thanks again Tyll  :)p4
