Head-Fi TV, Episode 003: Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo: A Game Changer

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:30:00 +0000

Episode 003 of Head-Fi TV was just uploaded. This episode is a short video overview of the Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo, which, as far as portable source components go, is a game changer, in my opinion (based on what's currently available).

Products mentioned in the video:

Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo battery-powered iPod/iPhone/iPad digital dock and DAC (digital-to-analog converter)
beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones
Sennheiser / adidas HD 25-1 II Originals headphones
Audeze LCD-2 planar magnetic headphones
ALO Audio: various dock cables and headphone cable (with adapter system) for Audeze LCD-2
Ray Samuels Audio SR-71B fully balanced portable headphone amp

The music in the video was by Twis7 (pronounced "twist"), and the track is called "Ghetto Bass," and can be found on the Bass Rinse EP. Thank you to the Play Me Records record label for giving us permission to use it. (Audeze's Alexander Rosson is one of the principals of the Play Me Records label, by the way.)

One thing I didn't mention in the video that I really wanted to (but left out, in the interest of not running too long like I did in Episode 002) was the use of Apple Airplay to stream to an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad-->Algorhythm Solo-->portable amp rig, when I'm at home. This allows me to feed the Solo music that is being streamed from my multi-terabyte primary iTunes library to the portable iDevice. So, when I'm out of the house, the rig in the video is what I've been using. But when I'm at home, I usually lash an iPhone to this rig (in place of the iPod Classic), for use with Airplay.

I also wanted to mention that the Solo can be used while plugged into its wall power adapter.

Thanks to joe for working with me on these videos--I couldn't do it without him.

Head-Fi TV, Episode 002: Practical Devices XM6 (Overview and First Impressions)

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:00:00 +0000

The second episode of Head-Fi TV was just uploaded. This episode is a feature overview and early first impressions of the Practical Devices XM6.

Unbelievably, I neglected to mention the XM6's price in the video. The XM6 is priced at $395.00. The Wolfson WM8741 DAC upgrade option is $42.00. The AD8397 DoubleCat opamp/buffer option is $22.00.

Products mentioned in the video:

Practical Devices XM6 portable headphone amplifier and USB DAC
Sennheiser HD 598 headphones
Sennheiser HD 800 headphones
Grado HF-2 headphones (no longer available, but were sold exclusively by TTVJ)

The video ran a few minutes longer than the 10-minute maximum we're going to try to stick to (per episode)--I'll work on being more concise. The focus is a bit off on the closeups--sorry about that (we'll work on that, too).

Again, we hope (and fully intend) to get better at this over time.

Thanks to joe for working with me on these videos--couldn't do it without him.

Head-Fi TV, Episode 001: An Introduction

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:40:00 +0000

It has been about three years since the last Head-Fi Podcast, and I've received requests since then to resume it. I've decided instead to start a Head-Fi videocast that we're going to call Head-Fi TV. With new product announcements and Head-Fi-specific news coming so frequently nowadays, it seemed like the right time.

This very brief first episode is simply intended to introduce the new Head-Fi videocast, and to let you all know how to keep updated about new episodes as they're uploaded.

Products mentioned in the video:

beyerdynamic DT 1350 (Tesla) headphones
Sennheiser MM 450 Travel Bluetooth headphones
Sennheiser HD 800 headphones

Head-Fi Podcast Episode 004

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:51:00 +0000

This is part two of two of the long-overdue Head-Fi Podcast on-the-floor coverage of 2007 HeadFest. In this episode, I interview several of the 2007 HeadFest Exhibitors, asking them about their products and their Meet impressions.

Again, this episode (Episode 004) concludes the Head-Fi Podcast coverage of 2007 HeadFest (the 2007 International Head-Fi Meet in San Jose).

Thanks again to Joseph Cwik (Head-Fi username "joe") for his great help in putting Episodes 003 and 004 together.

Head-Fi Podcast Episode 003

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:16:00 +0000

This long-overdue Head-Fi Podcast Episode includes Luis' (LFF's) on-the-floor coverage of 2007 HeadFest. LFF interviews several Head-Fi Members in attendance to get their opinions and impressions of HeadFest 2007.

Thanks very much to Luis, from whom I could learn a few tips from when it comes to interviewing, and also to Joseph Cwik for helping me piece this episode together (and for the much-deserved pestering to finally get this done).

This Episode is one-half of the remaining 2007 HeadFest Podcast coverage, with Episode 004 following almost immediately to conclude the coverage of 2007 HeadFest (the 2007 International Head-Fi Meet in San Jose).

(This Podcast was Sponsored in part by Sennheiser USA and HHB.)

Head-Fi Podcast Episode 002

Wed, 09 May 2007 07:21:00 +0000

Head-Fi Podcast Episode 002--which is a sort of interim episode (explained in the Podcast)--contains a brief interview with Stereophile's Wes Phillips, who discusses the upcoming Home Entertainment 2007 Show in New York, the Stereophile website, and Podcasting.

I also describe one more step we've taken to technically improve the Podcast.

And Luis--known here as LFF--caps off the episode with a splendidly done interview with Steve Hoffman. Through some well-chosen, well-crafted questions, LFF is able to get Steve Hoffman to share a lot of the information that made Steve's lecture at the 2007 International Head-Fi Meet in San Jose so special; and he also gets Steve to discuss cool stories and information that weren't discussed at the lecture. Luis, your interview style in this segment was pro, man--I could learn a thing or two (or ten) from it.

There'll be much more 2007 International Head-Fi Meet information, coverage and commentary in the upcoming Head-Fi Podcast Episode 003.

Head-Fi Podcast Episode 001

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 07:03:00 +0000

In Head-Fi's very first Podcast episode, we discuss the upcoming 2007 International Head-Fi Meet (HeadFest 2007) in San Jose, April 21-22, 2007. We also hear from several of the exhibitors with sneak peaks at what to expect from them at the big Meet.

Also, LFF provides us with a "Music Pick of the Week," and we discuss plans for future Head-Fi Podcasts.
