See you then!

Not long ago, Todd Green of TTVJaudio.com got ripped off to the tune of about $24,000! That's a huge loss for a small business to absorb. It really hurt Todd.

Today, I'm very happy to report that not only has the thief been caught, but all of Todd's gear has been recovered. The perps were nabbed due to some great work by the Torrence Police Dept, and our very own Justin Wilson at HeadAmp.

This is the story...

In headphone news: miniature electrostatic headphone drivers, MOG is morphing, Bloomberg tells the kids to quiet down, some Apple musing, headphone connectors at Furutec, and more.

The recent introduction of the Meridian Explorer has caused quite a stir in the headphone world. The headphone output impedance was measured at around 48 Ohms...way to high for a headphone jack. Meridian has executed an in-line run change and the product now has about 5 Ohms output impedance. Much better!

I thought it would be a great moment to compare the two versions and explain why a low output impedance is important for good headphone fidelity.
