The Monkey

Just got my impressions done. The audiologist used foam instead of cottond dams. I'm hoping that's not a problem. EDIT: Jaime just responded that it should be ok.

Blech! Speakers!

My team performed much like the NY Jets, which is fitting.

Have those of you who purchased the cases liked them?

Lots of beer gift baskets.

Made an appointment for impressions; worked; ate dinner with the Little Monkey; Replaced a 512MB chip with a 1GB in my iMac, bringing it up to 2GB total--the max for this iMac.

As the third owner of my set, I hear you. In looking at the Order Confirmation, I note that AT "replaced both joint cases." Only one was broken, so it strikes me that maybe this was a known issue repair. I was charged nothing, and the Service Performed section indicates "Non-Warranty." You can send them in for an estimate, which costs 30 bucks. If you go ahead with the repairs, then you don't pay the $30. Anyway, the treated me right, so I'm going to send a nice email.

deepak, out of the Woo amps, what did you think were the weaknesses?

Yeah, I'll give it a try. I want to start DIYing again and I always feel good if I can fix something myself. Expect some PMs.

Does Sony still have a super high end consumer business unit?

Give me a break. That's always how I look around the holidays. By CJ10, I'll look like this:

It's finding the "one good one" that's the problem.

MOAR.

Could be Zac Penrod. And how dare you derail the derailment.

That rig is full of all sorts of win.

It's tough to downsize around these here parts.

Do tube dampers do anything in this regard or is that just so much moar snake oil?

Replacement iPod LCD screen.

Oooh, I could see the Luxman being a nice pairing.

Is it possible the cable is the culprit?

The hum issue is interesting. I tried my UE5c out of my B22 (which Nate knows rather well) and got some serious hum, but not hiss, although that could be due to the hum volume. It sounded almost like a ground loop hum (I don't think that's it, just describing the sound). The amp is dead silent with all other headphones.

Good find. Congrats. Some of the best pairings I have heard with the CD3000 have been with the Woo Audio amps. Not sure if the WA3+ or WA6 satisfy the "budget" criterion for you, but I've liked the CD3000 out of the amps every time I've heard them.
