HiWire

Me neither. But somebody must be able to afford these things.

I think I'd want one if my Sony D-EJ2000 went kaput. Has anybody tested one? Cry me an iRiver: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/couple-nice-improvements-astellkern I'm a little confused at the specs – shouldn't all the players support 64GB micro SD capacities?

Tyll, do they sound much different than the K 701, then? Are they easier to drive?

Looking forward to the reviews. They are supposed to be moar better than the other one.

Review from Hi-Fi+ Playback: http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/beyerdynamic-t5p-headphones-playback-38/ They should list their test equipment.

It looks like Audeze have become headphiles. I wonder if microsuede is as sweaty as lambskin.

It's a short review – as in thumbs up.

A sad story. Maybe not so oddly, I thought of James Dean when I read about this.

Sound On Sound wrote positive reviews on the AKG K612 and K712 in this month's issue.

All the reviews seem to come from fashion magazines. They should release an amp that integrates into a purse... calling Val Kolton.

My co-worker told me about these... they seem to focus on "other" priorities: http://www.wearefrends.com

I can't wait to try this on my discs... the Slim PS2 is a terrible video player.

I just read about the Darbee Edition of the BDP-103... looking forward to the possible 105 version.

For pure entertainment value, this thread delivers. I am curious whether a decent amp can be made in this enclosure. Their product names remind me of diarrhea, unfortunately.

It's a good article. I've read the same kind of thing before, but SACD still works better for me than digital files. Different strokes for different folks.

Klipsch X7i. Porcelain like a toilet bowl.

It's a pretty bold claim. Hearing is believing, right?

I noticed that Acoustic Energy finally released a floorstander model in their Reference Series. My pair of 12-year-old Aegis Two speakers (made in Malaysia) sound pretty good for super-cheap $200 speakers – it makes me wonder what they've done since then. Online reviews of the Reference 1 and the rarer Reference 2 seem pretty positive... has anybody heard them?
