Well I think I'm the only one here thats actually done any business with GNSC and yes I think the mods they do on the Opus 21 are really good but that doesn't mean I'd take their word on anything else.

Bleh bad choice w/ the B-52, it's just two Raptors strapped together and I'm not a fan of the Raptor at all.

I like HP and Epson for general all around printing, but if you print a lot of photos I'd probably go with Canon. Avoid lexmark at all costs it's utter junk.

L3000 but they don't isolate a ton. If you want to make sure you block out all noise check out some of the high end IEM's.

It's actually not a touchscreen in the way your thinking about it. It uses a system of cameras (i think 9 of them) in this particular demo of the tech. Wouldn't worry too much about the monitor thing as I doubt we'll see tech like this trickle down to the consumer level for another 5-10 years at which point I'm sure there will be plenty of nice big HDTV's w/ wireless capabilities built in.

Who said anything about needing to use a keyboard or mouse with this . The whole idea of the thing is a change in the way we interface with computers. LOL I really wouldn't worry about USB by the time something like this hits the consumer level in 5-10 years everything will be wireless anyways.

Kind of strange that they did that, I mean even though the 580s are discontinued I'm surprised they don't have parts around to do warranty repairs with. You could always sell the 595's and try to get a couple used pairs of 580s with the money you get. IMO the 595's are very much a sonic downgrade they are one of my least favorite phones.

But everyone wants to be like me

Yep I had the GNSC Reference Mods done to my Opus 21 and it really is an amazing player. You'd be hard pressed to beat it for less than $10K.

I think you should actually do this in steps, first thing I would do is drop about 5-7k on a killer source and see how well your balanced desktop and 650's scale up with that. Then you might want to try out other headphones and see what you end up liking best. After that upgrade the amp if necessary.

stab billy in the eye with it?

Oh that's easy he just had one of his boys take the rap for him.

When I bought my L3000 a few years back, I sold my PS-1's to do so. Haven't looked back since.

How about no

arthurwells is possibly the stupidest person on the planet

Shame, season 4 will be the last season... http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070511c.php

Is a headphone that closely resembles a toilet bowl really better than a retarded looking headphone?

I wonder about that as well, right after I bought the RA Opus 21 out of the blue I received a PM from Ori offering me a "deal" on a DIN-to-RCA cable that he just happened to have around. I did report this to the HF mods and I believe since it was only the first time he was reported he was given a warning. So taking that incident and the amp fiasco philodox had with him into consideration it's safe to say he's a complete and utter fucking moron.

It's pretty hard for him to explain something he doesn't understand himself .

I have been watching again for the past month or so and surprisingly it has been very good again. Also I think they made the right choice to decide now how much longer the show will go on for: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070507g.php

It's really pretty simple if you say something negative about certain (seems like almost all) products you get raked over the coals. If you don't like something you shouldn't have to pussyfoot around it or say it in a more tactful manner to avoid hurting someones feelings. Just plain stupid.

Has anyone heard the Aesthetix Calypso? I can get a fairly good deal on a used one, I'm just a bit concerned it'll struggle a bit driving my power amps.

I just think it's stupid we keep seeing all these new amps released. This hobby doesn't need more amps, it needs more quality headphones.
