Your recent music purchases
There is a rumor that Mosaic Records might be going out of business. So now might be the time to pick up any box sets you want. Thelonious Monk Complete Live At the It Club was one of my favorite jazz purchases from last year.

The Ultimate DIY Part 2 ? The KGITSOJC
The KX-R attenuator does sound really cool. Incredible sounding preamp too.

The Ultimate DIY Part 2 ? The KGITSOJC
Kevin Consider me very interested. I would prefer 4 unbalanced and 2 balanced inputs, IMO XLR/RCA adapters are not something I'd really want to use... As for the attenuator whatever is the most transparent. Only interested in 2 channels. And an optional phono board for LOMC maybe? (only half joking) -Deepak

Canjam 2010.
I believe you can walk into Music Direct and buy directly from them. Their customer service guy is a Headfi'er as well

High end home theater installers basically do this with custom interfaces. Jerry Rice has a home theater system controlled by a slate control screen that was programed for his home theater. http://www.hometheaterdesignmag.com/traditional/1006rice/ If the ipad has an IR port it's probably doable.

The Headcase Stax thread
The differences shouldn't be big. The BHSEs I have heard sounded very much like my BH- great control of the drivers and very high bandwidth. I know some people think they are bassy amps, I do not hear this. When the music has a lot of bass I can hear and feel the bass with the HE60 and O2. But say for example a lot of Blue Note jazz where Rudy Van Gelder often recorded the bassist further back in the mix, you hear the texture and depth of the bass but it is very soft and very much in the background. For example with my HD600/ EC HD300 wrt to the the Blue Note jazz the bass was often almost as forward in the mix as the rest of the instruments. This leads me to believe that either the electrostats and/or amp have more accurate frequency response or that the electrostats are far more spacially resolving.

high voltage cable for electrostats?
If you want help getting parts from Senn USA let me know, I'm going to buy a bunch of stuff for the HE60 as I am really enjoying them.

The Headcase Stax thread
The HE60 are on a level playing field with the O2 on the BH. I really can't say which one I like more. The HE60 have a slightly diffuse presentation (not as bad as the Jade), and still have quite a big soundstage that works really well with rock music. But at the same time they image quite well... strange headphones. The HE60 and O2 scale really well with better amps, but with the 404LE don't really sound that different with the BH and Exstata.

That's odd the rest of the HE60 parts are very reasonable (not counting the $400+ for drivers).

Are you sure it's the cable failing and not the drivers or a channel imbalance problem with the amp?

Magnepan 1.7
I have heard the 1.6 play very loud with my 32 wpc EL34 push pull amp but bass was all over the place (terrible extension and loose) and imaging did suffer. When set up in a good room and not in near field with Pass Labs X series amps everything came together perfectly. I dislike Maggies in near field though, they sound too forward even when the recording is minimally mic'ed.
