Now that it's December, wanted to check back in on this for a present and it looks like there could be delays... Has the Touch release date been delayed? - Squeezebox : Community : Forums

Another Aluminum Hard Case Sale... Wireless Daily Deal, 1 Sale A Day

Some of us went the opposite direction. Early on when they were my only decent cans their issues quickly got on my nerves (bought and sold twice). Now that they're not, I can accept them on their own terms (as necessary with a lot of cans) and may never sell my current pair.

I haven't spent enough time with the P-200 to know, but for those that have seem to indicate it's sound isn't necessarily related to the P-1, so I wouldn't automatically associate. The Pico is a pretty good source, but as it doesn't err on the warm side, if you replace it you can choose where to add your warmth. As the CD3K is so easy to power I wonder if source might be your best bet. The CD3K hasn't been my main cans for awhile so I haven't pushed them. In fact their lack of requirements are where they've found use for me (Pico DAC/amp or even straight from the iPhone). Back when Sony was making them it seemed like everyone was powering them with Singlepowers. Probably some nice tube combos with the PPX, MPX3, Extreme, etc. Although I never had the WA6 and CD3K the same time, I could see the Woo with the right rectifier moving the midrange nicely forward and keeping the top from being too bright (why I sold my first two pairs). And I suspect HeadphoneAddict may be on to something with the Cavalli. Although I wouldn't call it warm, and it's obviously not a tube choice, I wonder about the FET-A too, as it would seem to have a complimentary signature. Voltron may be able to pipe in on that as he has/had both.

The CD3Ks sounded amazing out of the Luxman P1. I go back and forth if I prefer the warmth of the Extreme Plat or clarity of the GS1 with them. Padam which source are you using?

Did you guys know before Halloween came into its own, there was for a time, "Thanksgiving Masking" (door to door for apples, etc. for the later meal)? Just found that out this morning. Scrambling for Pennies: 1911 | Shorpy Historic Photo Archive Done Up: 1911 | Shorpy Historic Photo Archive Dark or Light? | Shorpy Historic Photo Archive Tables for Ladies | Shorpy Historic Photo Archive Anyway, on the birth and death of holidays, with Halloween increasingly becoming an international and adult one, and Christmas decorations extending to at least it, I wonder how much longer Thanksgiving has? Which is too bad, because as my friend Melissa says, Thanksgiving is the lower stress, good stuff from Christmas - getting together with family and friends, a spirit in the air where strangers are ever so slightly nicer to one another, a wonderful meal, and presents - which you've already got. Hoping you all a great one.

Did I just watch an Extenze ad and why didn't they leave the mother out of it?

You're just jealous the cameras are pointing the other way.

How long have you had them? I'm not a runner, so didn't buy them for that, but gotta say my lower back, shoulders and neck hurt for a few days until I adjusted. Insanely comfortable as work shoes, but they do slap down a bit, at least with my flat feet. Definitely my step has changed - long term good or bad I don't know. Only time I've felt really ridiculous in them was when I walked into a screening of Where the Wild Things Are and saw people looking at my feet and whispering. Yeah, super fan!

We'll start off with this one: Ballerina Sweetspot Audiophile Chair Anyone got other suggestions?

Huge fan. Have had the KSOs (thanks to Dan and Sergey) for about a month and worn them almost exclusively. A few new models have been introduced in the last couple of weeks. Note the recommended sizing (by foot length) is way off. I had to return and pick up two sizes above the recommended, 45 instead of 43, and it seems a common complaint on the web. And so far the word most commonly expressed by women in my life is "scary." May be a little too gorilla-like.
