  1. Hmm... I see what you are trying to do here. I was hoping to avoid that.
  2. grawk: Do you have the "one" yet? I see that it is now available. I am trying to decide between a duet and a one to possibly replace the Firestone Fubar II + Cute Beyond amp setup in my office. I will mostly use it with a ESW9.
  3. Should I take some CDs with me that it doesn't read or will they just take my word and give me a new one?
  4. I have been having the same problem with my Macbook Pro. For example, it wouldn't read the "Rodrigo y Gabriela 11:11" cd but it would read the dvd that came with it. I have a 3 year warranty (it is about 1 1/2 years old). Should I take it to the Apple store? I really hate going there and would hate to be without my laptop for a day, but if it could fix the problem, it may be worth it.
  5. Looks cool but I am not so keep in the whole split screen thing for a tablet.
  6. Looking forward to whatever makes it down to Houston alive. Sorry to hear about the Raven.
  7. Unless you need more isolation, I wouldn't sell off the ESW9's just yet.
  8. The Shure's are better in my opinion, especially out of an ipod - although I haven't listened to the HD-25's in a while.
  9. It is better to get a new shiny object anyway. Just wanted to offer in case there was a really long wait on them. As for the sound, I still wish the sounded a little more open, but for the price, they are very good. They are really great at isolating and not leaking sound. They also sound better than I remember them at CanJam. I would love to swap out the cable for a straight one though!
  10. Hi Vicki, I would be happy to give you my pair to give to him if you cannot get a good price. That is truly an awful situation. I know getting a pair of headphones doesn't really erase the fact...
  11. I am planning to use a muumuu dress instead of a t-shirt. This will allow for more airy sound.
  12. I'm with swt61 on this one. Seems to be quite a coincidence that at least 3 big headphone companies are rolling out $1000-$2000 around the same time. Since I haven't really enjoyed the Beyers I have owned/tried so far, I certainly won't be rushing out to get these.
  13. Yep, I am much happier with the DPS than the Astrodyne. Of course, to be honest, I only used the Astrodyne for a short time, before I talked to the tech-y at Headroom. At that time, I was paranoid that I had ruined the BUDA and was looking for anything that sounded at all off (which could have been in the recording I was listening to). Right now, I am listening to John Abercrombie's "Class Trip" (that I just picked up "pre-loved" at the local music store) on the BUDA+DPS+ECD-1 with the HD800's (balanced) and it sounds great - nice bass and drums.
  14. I have heard of people balancing their W5000's and AD2000's. I wonder if this would have much effect. Of course, I like the convenience of having the 1/8" termination on my AD2000's because I can walk around the house using them and an ipod when I want to be portable. If I end up keeping the A2000X's, I may try reterminating them to 4 pin XLR so that I could use them SE and balanced. They seem quite difficult to drive so running them balanced may be beneficial (like in the bass). They seem to improve running them out of the WA5 over the GS-1.
  15. First, I tried the DPS with the BUDA this morning with the correct setting, and it was working perfectly. Also, I talked to the Headroom tech-ey Mike. He talked to the engineer there and they concluded that there is very little chance that anything went wrong with having it set on the 230V setting. In fact, he said that they did that once there and the amp worked fine after switching it back to 115V. This made me feel better. He also said that if something were to go wrong, it would be sooner rather than later and that I would notice it (that it wouldn't be subtle). So I am going to just enjoy it (but also be listening to see if there is anything that sounds off... distortion, etc.).
  16. My first Snow Leopard hiccup: I just got the Logitech Performance MX mouse and when I tried to install the Logitech software, it told me "This software does not support the version of Mac OS X that is installed on your system. Please check for an updated version, or go to www...." Then if forced me to quit. Edit: Got it working with this workaround: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/01/snow-leopard-get-your-logitech-mouse-and-keyboard-working-again/
  17. Thanks Nate, I will ask about this. I assume I should ask to get the DPS replaced as well since I am guessing that it is more likely to have problems than the BUDA but I am could very much be wrong.
  18. Yeah, I will probably do this for peace of mind but I am not going to like waiting for an even longer period of time . However, just wanted to say that I just tried the HD650's balanced out of the BUDA with my Blue Dragon cable (with the Astrodyne PS) and they sound really good, much better than on the BUDA SE with the Atrodyne PS and stock cable.
  19. So I tried the amp SE with the Astrodyne power supply and it sounds much much better. It doesn't sound quite as smooth as I would like at points but that may just be me overanalyzing it. Is there a chance that something happened to the amp and it doesn't sound 100% (I would never know)? If it doesn't sound horrible, should I just assume that nothing got messed up? I haven't tried it with the DPS yet though. I guess I will call Headroom tomorrow and find out if I should send it in to get it looked at.
  20. Will do. I haven't had any problems with Mail *yet* but it has only been one day.
