Active Nearfield Computer Speakers
I received the Rel T Zero MK III last night and have it halfway dialed in at the moment. So far I like it. I don't have the thunderous deep base of the 12in SVS, but that is not what I was wanting. The extension of the LSX seamless without being boomy. All imaging, including bass, seems to...- orbilius

Active Nearfield Computer Speakers
Last night I disconnected my SVS 12in home theater sub and set it up with the KEFs. I stayed up way to late dialing it in and got it to the point where it disappears and it sounds like the bass is coming from the KEFs. Man - it could really rock and it sounded great. However, I don't want...- orbilius

Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...
Oh man. This thread is making me jealous. I used to have the Silicon Graphics (SGI) version of the FW900 and sold it before I moved 20 years ago and replaced it with a crappy LCD. I wish I had that thing back - It was just so beautiful.- orbilius

Active Nearfield Computer Speakers
I was browsing the forums for thoughts on nearfield setups. I love headphones, but sometimes it's nice to just use a speaker. I picked up a used pair of KEF LSX 1s (not the 2s with HDMI ARC and USB-C) for less than $500. I added some wedge stands from Amazon to point them to ear level. I...- orbilius

Introducing the HIFIMAN HE-R9!
I sang the praises of the R9s with EQ one some types of music, but honestly they haven’t had much time in rotation recently.- orbilius

I am so curious about the Caldera closed vs. Open. It would seem that ZMF doesn't have the typical tradeoffs of closed vs. open. I have the Atrium Open, but I see may great impressions of the Atrium closed. What do you think of a closed planar vs. open?- orbilius

Colorado Head-Fi Meet June 22, 2024
Hello everyone. I would love to attend. I am also in the University Hills area and would love to meet other headphone nerds. I can bring ZMF Atrium Open, LCD-X 2021, the Bonkers Hifiman HE-R9, and my Eufonika OTL amp. I can also bring an Xduoo Ta20 Plus hybrid tube amp and my old THX789...- orbilius

Little review of a little usb to coax/toslink adapter
This is a dirt cheap but functional piece of equipment. My specific use case is that I have both my work and personal computers set up on the same monitor. I change bluetooth settings on my keyboard and mouse when I switch. I was looking for a way to connect my thunderbolt dock connected to...- orbilius

Eufonika (Valve amps from Poland)
I don't have your requested combo, but have an H5 paired with ZMF AO and it's quite magical. Very natural, dynamic and engaging. Couldn't be happier....but that doesn't stop me from tinkering.- orbilius

Keyboard-Fi
I had that exact IBM keyboard in college and regret getting rid of it. Fantastic feel and ergonomics. Awesome that you still use it. How many adapters are you using to get it to work with modern computers? I currently use a Keychron K5 and a Bloomberg STB100, which is a surprisingly good...- orbilius

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
If I could only have one headphone it would be the AO - I love mine with both OTL tubes and SS. However, for electronic music I really do get more out of my EQ'd LCD-X - it just hits harder and goes lower. That's really the only genre I used them for these days. I have been wondering if the...- orbilius
