  1. Does anyone here know/remember the specs on the Moth EC2a3? Trying to determine the headphone and speaker output impedance.
  2. What's the verdict on o2 pads these days? With a mk1 is it a good idea to convert over to the black "leather" mk2 pads? Is there a place that is cheaper than eBay for them ($130)?
  3. May have just scored an xa5400es for $850 new in box It shipped today apparently.

    How this person can get such a high number of positive ebay feedbacks with that kind of attitude is beyond me!!

    Parasound D/AC 2000 Ultra: PARASOUND D/AC/DAC-2000 Ultra Digital/Analog Converter! - eBay (item 120633433087 end time Oct-25-10 06:15:25 PDT) So this is too weird. I bid, and was outbid, and wanted to bid again. Only this time I am a blocked bidder. I tried to contact the seller capeannaudio, and they do not allow communication. LOL. Bear in mind, my feedback is perfect, I've been using ebay since '99, and I've never met or bid on any of this person's items ever before this. I did a google search on the seller name and came up with other very strange stories not unlike this one.
  6. Well, it looks like I may have just had a close brush with death. I wanted to post this scam here just in case someone might be able to save themselves in the future. I offered to switch up the payment terms to use escrow, all he needs to do is confirm the use of escrow’s services, although I don’t think the seller will respond anymore. Here’s the Omega II mk1 + 717 listing on audiogon I woke up to this morning and got very excited about: AudiogoN ForSale: Stax omega sr007 / 717 The e-mail the scammer used was: [email protected] under the name Robert Morewood UK – Warwickshire. He quickly gave me bank transfer account details along with an ebay id that had listed CD’s that have been sold over the years: danceonavolcanopmt . If it matters the bank in question is Nationwide. I went in thinking how awesome the deal was and how good of condition the O2 is in. Thanks to the help of some astute head-case members I quickly learned of Cherry Bomb’s plight (god bless) earlier this year which occurred under very similar circumstances: http://www.head-case.org/forums/off-topic/1488-post-last-thing-you-bought-740.html#post325793 (posts start at 14785) -At one step I noticed audiogon gave me a completely different physical address of the seller at the “payment” phase. Not a good sign. When I asked him about it he responded it was his brother in law’s info and that his brother in law had setup the account for him. -The circumstances and description of the ebay profile very closely match what n3rdling post here: http://www.head-case.org/forums/off-topic/1488-post-last-thing-you-bought-742.html#post325970 (post 14833) -In this case he also listed a bunch of other very expensive big ticket items for sale along the lines of a $20,000 cd transport and cables to the tune of about 2 grand apiece. This may seem to add to his credibility, but as n3rdling posted he may in fact own some of these items, but we can’t be certain. (which raises further questions about the ethical standards of some audiophiles in this hobby!) It’s a shame head-case isn’t so great at search engine results but I hope this helps someone!
  7. Hmm, interesting comments here, helps me on my DAC search Currently I'm in the hunt for something that is a solid performer and can best my Stello DA100S
  8. Why the price difference in Hp-2 and Hp-1? I swear the Hp-1's are sold for more! <- Hp-2 Owner
  9. So... For all of the super comics guys/gals here I've been eagerly anticipating the DC Comics Blackest Night Event, me being a "casual" and rather new comics reader I went to my local shop and created a "box" to subscribe to the series. It's maybe 6ish issues in now (crossovers) and I wanted to see what everyone thinks so far. To be honest yesterday I said to myself, all of these issues so far are pretty weak albiet highly rated by the comics community. Pretty much every issue I've read centers around the fact that the dead are coming to life and pwning all life... Sounds exactly to me like Marvel Zombies But in all seriousness, I'm TO'd that this is ALL that has happened so far... SHOW ME MOAR! I've already un-subscribed to the GL: Corps book; not very pleased with the art and chaotic story.
  10. I tihnk a better question might be... since it was not good enough for this guy, what his definition of "good" is lol. I'm thinking along the lines of skullcandy .
  11. Retail 2002 You might want to try just ordering a new cable for the hd650, it will run you under $20 shipped. To change the cable is very easy with the hd650, just grab the fat plastic part near the drivers and gently wiggle it out, repeat for the other side. If you're saying you bent the connector there's some solder points inside the 1/4" plug end that may have broken hence the replacement cable. If this doesn't fix the problem you might want to look into warrantying them through Sennheiser? Good luck!
  12. I dunno about you guys but I only pee on bushes, toilets, and peoples' cars that I hate.
  13. Been seriously watching a lot of Ghost showzorz! Aka ghost adventures on the travel channel!

    Battlestar Galactica

    This is killing me, I can't get on with season 4.5+ until my roomate catches up through 4 In the meantime I've already forgotten everything I've watched so far!!
  15. The AE-2 as an amp is better than pico imo although I can't really explain why
  16. This SAA VOICE cable is ridiculous I can't believe they would do this.
