  1. I doubt it's the grills, but these are the newer. It's really pretty integrated in the sound, not a say rattle.
  2. A few days ago I was PMing with someone over on the other site on the LCD2s, and he mentioned a 'resonance/reverb' issue with them that got in the way of his enjoyment. I immediately went into 'defective pair' mode suggesting tests, etc. as I never heard that. Friday I received a B22 and while testing the amp heard a strange 'reverb' on a couple violin pieces and since then all the time on different DACs and amps. It's slight, but seemingly layered on everything. It's my first LCD2 complaint, but it's actually been a little hard to enjoy them since. Hell, it's only been a couple days, but I've been listening to the HD580s more. Maybe it's psychosemantic audio illness, but anyone else hear this? He had tested his LCD2s against others and I have also (when comparing SE v. balanced) at a recent meet with little/no differences, so I really doubt these are lemons. Everyone (including myself) says these are slightly warm, organic sounding cans, but is that at least partially because of a exaggerated resonance-like issue often present? Or am I crazy?
  3. Congrats. Congrats.
  4. I do. Squeezepad is like Apples Remote app. The important functionality in a clean package. Can't say I've iPeng buggy, but it tries to do everything, pretty well, just a more cramped interface. Squeezepad seems iOS native. iPeng seems it comes from Squeezeboxes open source tradition. Both work and it's not a problem jumping from Squeezepad on the iPad to iPeng on the iPhone.
  5. Speaking of Woot t-shirts I forgot to post the one I picked up recently ...
  6. Grill photos please. This afternoon set up my new amp.
  7. Or disable sleep and run CHKDSK every other hour.

  20. Congrats. Go Team 5.
  21. Thanks for testing. After four nights in a row spending several hours, I've backed off for a bit. Plus have the Squeezebox Touch to fall to. Suspect it's the DSL modem/router doing something to the network (as problem existed even without a wireless network active), but waiting for energy to redebug.
  22. Glad someone got in. I think the window was pretty short. Sorry the XDA-1 didn't work out, but the A2s were designed for a Squeezebox combo (then Logitech came in and deal fell through). A5s simply moar better.
  23. I thought that back shot actually said "by Edouard Upgradez" for a second.
