Are there any specific Chinese ksa5's that you'd recommend? I remember reading some had issues or component omissions. Thanks.

He was selling it for $1699 before, but those sellers fell through because of the "no paypal". http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAX-SR007-Omega-earspeakers-Stax-SRM-717-Energiser-/322158463497?hash=item4b02240a09%3Ag%3ANHYAAOSwMNxXZn7G&nma=true&si=RlSwwNM9U8jTbjfIF7OPswxjUA0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAX-SR007-Omega-earspeakers-Stax-SRM-717-Energiser-/322162703406?hash=item4b0264bc2e%3Ag%3ANHYAAOSwMNxXZn7G&nma=true&si=RlSwwNM9U8jTbjfIF7OPswxjUA0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 edit: Oh, the new listing includes free shipping that the previous two didn't which explains the price difference.

http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AKGK701.pdf http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD800.pdf The HD800 has noticeably better bass and more realistic soundstage/imaging. The K701 has more upper mids which a lot of people find disagreeable.

To my ears the HD800 is a improved and "fixed" k701. Similar freq response and sound signature but better in all regards. I use the K701's almost daily as beaters and on days with more available listening time I'll break out the HD800's. I listen to the HD600 and HD650 on occasion for a change of pace.

Amazon has the Philips Fidelio X2 for 199.99 today. All time low for a new pair. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O2Y2MZG

Looks like the resonator is under the protective mesh/filter and possibly built into the driver unit itself? So it might require purchasing new drivers which is ~$500 I think for the HD800.

I'm thinking it'll be definitely 2k or more since they're including the balanced cable they charge $300+ for. The current HD800's MSRP is $1600 now as well. Maybe they can drop the price back down to $1300 or whatever it debuted at.

I got a Crabby wallet a few months back when it was on sale for ~$11 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PYIDVLI It's been pretty decent.

These days it's nwavguy's ODAC and O2 that get parroted on random forums.

Curious, how much was your offer that they accepted? Thanks.

Yeah, true. I'm heavily leaning towards using the ESP950 extension cord to make an adapter for the extra flexibility.

I need to get a stax male plug too for a future ESP950 recable/adapter. :~

Linn Christmas stuff in highest quality FLAC that was available. https://mega.co.nz/#F!iBRyFQ7J!I9Wkow8KjnoAaIWhzIsOXQ I'll upload the rest as they come.

http://weeklyad.staples.com/StaplesSD/WeeklyAd?storeid=2278777#!/store/2278777/category/5202138 the $399 i5 system looks to be a decent deal.

yeah, go with windows 8 with something like classic shell/classic start menu installed. old windows feel/interface with the under the hood benefits of win8.

I've read that you can get XBMC and PLEX support/apps on the Fire TV devices. Should make them much more versatile/useful.

The AKG K7xx series gets another release/rehash, this time as the K7xx by massdrop. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/akg-k7xx-massdrop-first-edition-headphones Supposedly they're suppose to be based off the K702 65th Anniversary model. A decent deal maybe if the sound is to your liking. Here's links to the discussions if anyone cares to read. http://www.head-fi.org/t/743280/new-release-the-k7xx-massdrop-first-edition-an-exclusive-from-massdrop-and-akg http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,1902.0.html

I've had good experiences with namesilo for domain registration as well. Godaddy has been real stingy with renewal coupon codes this year, so I transferred a bunch of domains to namesilo to avoid playing the look/wait for coupons game in the future. I used the coupon code BUCKOFFDOMAIN for a dollar off my first namesilo purchase. $8.99 per year after that.

looks like a fiio e09k without the docking thing on top.

And I meant that their first orthodynamic headphone, the HE-5 was already wood.

or maybe they're just mimicking their HE-5?

Thanks for the shipping info. How much work and cost would it be to modify the KSA5 clone or Chinese KGSS for USA/115V usage?

I think nopants is referring to What was the first Chinese copy?
