Friends, Romans anc countrymen, lend me your ears... I wanna see if I can hear what you hear.

I guess trial and error is indicated. You could contact possibly some manufacturers for a sample of their product. Sometimes this works.

"Or perhaps it is the same as someone who can see colour, scoffing at someone who think they can see IR and UV. " Perhaps they can. I'm not in a position to judge. I can only comment on what I experience.

"Cable cynics will scoff...in which case they can have fun with their distant mids." They certainly will. It's the same as someone who is colour-blind scoffing at those who can see colour.......

My HD800 with a Blue Dragon cable is my favourite can in my collection, although the HE60 out of a Transistoramp V3 was very close to knocking ot off it's perch. Can't wait to finish one of my KGSS and KGSSHV builds. Will probably see the HD800 dethroned, even with the Anax mod recently installed.

Best Cheap Headphones Blogspot - ED10 review Are they talking about price or sound quality? Worst part is it's an Australian site.

Digital and analogue in the other?

That's a mega vacuum-inducing event in headphone annals. Probably the plebian equivalent of the original Stax Sigma & Omega, Sony R10 & Qualia O10 going off-line.

"but if you're assembling a good rig, the 650 perform better. " I should think so..... The problem is that on mediocre rigs or ipods the HD600/HD650's sound pretty ordinary. And that is where the T50P, L1 etc are usually used. On a reasonable to great HiFi rig the HD's scale up well whereas the others are left wallowing in their mid-fi mediocrity.

Dyslexic neuronal synapses....

Maybe a transconductance amp is the way to go.....

As hard as it is to believe, balsa is classed as a hardwood..........

. The Norse 8 conductor cable is a noticeable improvement over the stock one.

"The pre-Columbian Americans did develop a process for making copper tools that are harder than steel. However, I am pretty sure that this came sometime after the invention of bronze tools in the old world and there is no evidence for this process having been discovered elsewhere. It is a lost technology. We don't know how they did it. We only know that they did because we have found some of the tools they left behind." http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/11652 I want a chassis made from this copper...

I just hope he doesn't make this year's Darwin Awards.....

Happy birthday, you young whippersnapper.

We're all one of them, just differently.

Is that a bright flash as wherein electrons, in a corruscating release of photons, turn high grade silicon into carbonaceous-like detritus?

I like my HD600 with the inner foam half gone. With the foam totally removed they're too bright and only last about half an hour before fatigue sets in. With new foams they are good with an aftermarket cable. I even tried 5 layers of stocking instead of the foam, but it was still too bright. I have 2 sets of new foams watiing for the current ones to bite the dust. I don't pretend to define what neutral really is, just what sounds neutral to me with my phones. With different phones I have no doubt that my mileage will vary.

Yeah, that persipan is good. I still have a quarter of a loaf of stollen in the fridge which is going down tonight. The apricot kernels with their vitamin K definitely would make it a semi-health food. Never heard a rudistor, are they tasty?
