I've been banned from HF's Stax thread for making fun of edstrelow's and richard51's dynamat modding exploits. The thread has been cleaned up more than somewhat. Imagine using dynamat resulting in changing the performance of a solid state amp enough for chalk and cheese difference, and you get the idea of what was being posted.

I didn't mind them YGGY - GSXMkII - HE1000.

The only known antidote to negating the deleterious effects of cryogenic treatment......

Must drop out of Class A at about 50 microamps............ Or, perhaps, heatsinking is grossly overdone...... Perhaps, even, it has (ahem) modest power output Then, again, It could be any combination of the above......

Variation of performance between different sets, perhaps..? Seems like possibly Audeze has a good handle on this phenomenon. LCD-3 in particular..... Production variation must be a real pain to handle.

I contemplated my navel once. All I discovered was some blue tinged lint........

WOT, there's an infinite number of 'em. Cardinals, ordinals, transfinite, etc, etc, Infinitudes to the power of infinity, and more. Infinity factorial, even doesn't start to cover it. Georg Cantor says so......

Beats > HE1 perhaps..?

Sounds like my car......

Happy Scotch-day......!

Perhaps, in an alternate universe...? Nah, ! Too far fetched even for science fiction......

Nope...... Calling something the best EVER when he hasn't heard all the main contenders speaks of smug and brash elitism. He da man and if he makes the call, all we lesser mortals need to bow at his sonic altar of knowledge.......

....and - it's the best there is..... Guttenberg says so.......

^ this. Steve Guttenberg just took a dive in the credibility stakes with this But then, YMMV.... http://www.dagogo.com/forum/news/steve-guttenberg-calls-the-mal-valve-head-amp-three-the-best-there-is

Both are larrikins....

But, that wuz their big selling point....... Exclusivity....... Who else would build something like that...? Cavalli, perhaps..?? His amps are getting rave reviews at the SoCal meet thread over on the dark side,,,,,,, “That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.” ― Joseph Goebbels If it weren't for electricity, we'd all be watching television by candlelight. George Gobel

But, but, - I don't want to.....

Hows about whacking in some 6S4A's and calling it a mini KGST...?

They will probably be flavour-of-the-month for those coming off <$200 phones until they hear something better. I can read it all now.....! THESE ARE THE BESTEST 'PHONES EVAH..!!!! Which is totally true for them. Let ignorant posters lie.......!

I tried to drive my KGSSHV once, but I found the lack of a steering wheel or gearbox very disconcerting........ Sitting on heatsinks in mid-summer is also not to be recommended.........

I tried a pillowcase once, but my amp went to sleep........

Great combo... right there ....

That's why it takes about 2 or 3 songs after changing headphones to acclimatise your hearing before you critically listen to your chosen tune to do a proper evaluation.

I use a tablecloth I cut up and my sister offered to sew up the edges. I got 4 pieces of cloth and lots of leftover material out of it. 2 pieces for the BHSE and 2 for the DIYT2. The material is reasonably dust-proof and drapes over the gear better than plastic would. My second choice would have been thick terry towel, but the tablecloth turned out great in a shade somewhere between royal blue and navy blue.

I had a pair of the HD250 Linears, when the only other headphone I had were the HD560 Ovation II. Paid AU$300 for them brand new and didn't like them at all. I gave them away to a nephew.. MY loss, his gain. For isolation, I found the HD280 really good.
