Do not plug the EL61 into a Blue Hawaii, neither party will like it very much... I just did some digging and they don't seem to like anything above 300V but the BHSE is 800V...

A dude in Venice custom designed some keycaps and I bought them, and I spent 10 bucks and some of my own time to buy and install little silicone rings to change the sound of typing. I feel terrible about myself.

Two things: 1. Nobody here is interested in helping you get referral rewards from Light Harmonic, but nice try anyway. 2. Fuck Light Harmonic... in the ass... with a pineapple.

Nice Christopher Ward sale going on. 30%-50% off select models: http://www.christopherward-usa.com/sale.html wasn't planning on buying a watch but just had to pickup the Trident I've been looking at for several months:

I compared the two for several days before handing my original 13s off to a friend for reshelling. Here's what I found: 1. The Roxannes are largely brighter. That's not to say they're bright. But the 13s seemed almost impervious to sibilance. I think the Roxannes give it to me when it's in the recording. I did hear some hi hat type noises that were louder on the 13s. That surprised me, and suggested that not all of the treble range is more pronounced on the Roxannes. 2. The Roxannes' bass reproduction is clearly superior. When set to neutral, I haven't yet noticed a frequency bump. When comparing it to the LCD-2 bass, I found performance to be equivalent. That's quite an achievement. 3. Relative to the 13s, there's an added sense of impact. Perhaps this is a freqphase enhancement? There's a softness to the 13s. I don't know how else to describe it. The Roxannes don't have it though. They sound relatively sharp and focused. 4. Front and back layering is the most significant improvement for me personally. The Roxannes separate "in front" and "behind" sounds the 13s couldn't. 5. As expected, imaging is improved. The soundstage is surprisingly coherent. 6. The previous five points add up to a significantly more detailed set of IEMs. Before the 13s came out in 2009, I had UE10s. The performance gap between those two was enormous. I don't know that the gap between the 13s and the Roxannes is quite as large. But subjectively, I'd say it's fairly close. In other words, it's a big enough jump that I didn't feel any buyer's remorse after hearing the Roxannes.

How's it compare with the "Light Flashing Lightning" you have the KGST parked on.?
