Utopia season 2. This series is the best I've seen since Twin Peaks.

A well-shaped pair of the latest ear pads did open up the sound a bit on my rev 1, giving more air. The most recent pads are softer than my old rev 1 pads, and have a different dust protector.

This thick cable has got all the strange looks, and is really very stiff, almost tipping my gear over. A bit of the (normal) lamp cable deep inside can be seen through the blue semi-transparent connector (Patrick does not apparently believe so much in effects of the actual conductor). It works, as the image shows.

Cavalli Audio Liquid Lightning
DefectiveAudioComponent replied to spritzer's topic in Headphone Amplification
It might be the same board, but it's no Liquid Lightning anymore. No melting cables, no risk of electric shock - that takes both the liquid and the lightning out of it. -
I just saw episode three of Utopia. Brilliant.

This r.2, r.1 etc talk is quite confusing since they made so many changes to the LCD-2 that it should be at least r.10 by now. The bass-vegan LCD-1 is a good alternative to the meaty LCD-2. Recycled headset and all, If I could have the LCD-2 bass with the rest of the LCD-1 sound, and the much more comfortable and less fragile and less expensive-looking headset, I'd take it.

That's the Wharfedale Isodynamic. I have changed the broken cable and the pads. I have also closed the bass-cancellation vents in the baffle. It's connected through the speaker taps on the Akai.
