LSU vs VA Tech GO TIGERS!

Penn State vs Notre Dame Watching ND lose always brings a smile to my face

Those things are ugly as sin. Let's not forget that they also likely sound like crap as well.

The funny thing about that is the record won the Grammy that year for best sound engineering....

Your essentially paying for the HE-60 only since the hev60 isn't very good. You'd almost certainly end up building yourself a KGSS at some point in the future. Personally I wouldn't do it, your happy with your dynamic rig so why kill it off for a basic stat rig that you might not even like.

I would stick with the v-caps the Audio Notes are terribly expensive and probably not any better.

Transformer Volume Control's are pretty much the best volume controls you can use, but they aren't practical in some applications just because of how big they are.

I tend to prefer the pcm1704 but out of the current delta-sigma dacs i like the AKM4396 the best followed by the pcm1792/4/6

Too bad those chips are the most overrated dac chips in history.

I'm pretty happy with The Dragon driving the K1000 but I think you can get a great sounding K1000 rig for a relatively small investment. Something like a used Pass Labs Aleph3 or Prima Luna Prologue One can be had for about $1k and will sound damn nice.

Yeah the emm labs and zanden is still a crap load of money, more money then I'd ever throw at headphones.

I like the new classic, metal casing and 160gigs is not a bad deal for $350. The nano is kinda nice I guess but I'm not interested in that little storage space. The touch is an utter joke.

Actually at the end of their production pretty much everyone including TTVJ had them going for $900-$1000. It was a few years before that he had them on sale for around $400. Man I wish I had bought 10 or 20 pairs back then.

Congrats Dan I hope it sounds great

Check out his "In Search of Sunrise" series and his new one Elements of Life.

He only put fans in the very early ones w/ the older toaster style chassis.

Well really what would they say? It's not like they'd admit to the lower standards or the fact that they haven't cleaned their molds in about 3 decades.

Hell at this price I'm tempted to get one for pre-amp duties mainly. It also happens to be the best solid state headphone amp I've ever heard.

Get both

Thats a hell of a deal.

Just wait till you get the 6bl7 or 6bx7's for outputs

I think he has 4 or 5 now

I really liked the old Paradigm Active speakers.

Depends on the sound your looking for, the bx7's are a more neutral sounding tube.
