Well, they do give it a nice glow..... The visual aspect, that is.... not the sound......

Just the thing for musical polar bears and penguins.

It's as sonically clear as glass........

As long as it doesn't sound electrifying, all is well......

I wonder how long it will before those covers are replaced with the bottoms of coke bottles for a sweeter and darker sound.....

Sure-fire fail, right there.......................

The perspicacious would opt for perspex........ I can just see the aftermarket crowd going wild with this one...... Besides the usual plethora of aftermarket cables, there will be:- Coloware will have a range of colored covers.... There will be a plethora of different wood covers. Edstrelow will have a pattern of sorbothane to make these Stax killers The Hifiman HE-6 crowd will break out different felt fazor mods. Anaxilus will have 3 different mods to get rid of the echo chamber cavern effect... The newest mod will be to coat the inside of the covers with teflon to make sure even the sound doesn't stick... etc, etc, ad hoc, ad addendum, ad astra. ad nauseum...........................

Perhaps, he's lost his marbles..............................

This, perhaps....?

Yep, he bought a HE-1, and yet excessively quibbled about the cost of getting a Stax SR-009 and KG designed amp saying that you didn't need that level of performance at the price. This draws the obvious conclusion that he gets his lesser level of performsnce at a far greater price.. The logic is truly revelational.........

Yep, the best part wuz definitely the last few minutes when he shilled badly for Woo Audio. As I said, " Tin Ear Award for 2018 goes to this dude..... "...

Tin Ear Award for 2018 goes to this dude..... or How To Waste 13.5 minutes of your precious time........

Yeah, I thought the 'phones could have been at least 3 steps better. Would have been more appropriate to have at least used HD414's.......

:... and, if there's not enough plankton, we'll add this also....

Interesting........

Will have to change his custom title to:- "Will Assemble SMD Boards For Food"

FTFY.........

So, when will it adorn your collection....?

Hey, I resemble that. In fact, I represent it............

Yep, great gear as long as you don't intend to listen to them.......

For that genre of music (and the term is used extremely loosely here) It wouldn't really matter if you got two empty tin cans and affixed some iBuds in the bases...... You also need to get a coat hanger and use it as a headband...... I have been giving this a lot of deep thought since my last post and have come to the sad conclusion that your mate needs somewhat more than a miracle........

That's hardly likely, I mean, your finances regaining conciousness.......

I got the elite velour and elite fenestrated sheepskin for the HD600/650's too....

Just ordered the hybrid elite and fenestrated sheepskin.........
