The WooAudio amps are also killer- they look great, feel great (volume knobs, pot feel, etc), and sound fantastic. The WA6 and their 300B amp was able to drive the Yama HP-1 very well. Other than the GS-1 I think those were the only amps that I tried that could drive the orthos.

I am attributing it to the source as well. Since I haven't heard it with the MK1 and my old North Star, Parasound and my vinyl setup. Of course I have a lot of poorly mastered music (like some of the Mosaic 1950s jazz, the treble can be unbearable) that the SR-007 MK1 will show any flaws in the recording.

Thanks guys! I kinda wish I asked my friend if it would be ok to stay for a couple more nights in the city, since I assumed this would be resolved by Monday.

Mike believe me I have a lot of respect for these headphones. For a one man operation to create something so good is damn impressive. But what I'm looking for in terms of soundstage and imaging is accuracy over a more diffuse and pleasing presentation.

I wasn't impressed with the Jade on any of the systems I heard them on as well. The image is still just too centered and marginal to poor in every other aspect of soundstage and imaging. Tonally, just like the HE1.2b they don't do much wrong and are pleasant to listen to.

Your YHE-50A on powerful amps sounded very good. In my opinion the HP-1 on a good amp like the high end WooAudio amps exceeds the performance of the Grado HP-1000 as far as detail and midrange transparency goes. I got my Fostex T20v2 over the weekend, but no electricity here to test them out Are replacement pads available for them?

Vincent it was awesome meeting you and Faust3D. People did seem to really enjoy the Yamy HP-1 and pretty much all were taken back by how little they cost

Good meet, good meet. Good meeting people too

Still no damn power at my place in NH. And they are guesstimating it will be back Wednesday \ On the upside I missed Friday and Saturday's outage by going down to NYC which was hella fun and the meet rocked as well. It was around 45 F at my place, so at the moment I'm 'homeless doc' bumming it at the hospital.

Cool, I'll grab Tomcat. Jimmy Smith - Plays Fats Waller

Al have you had to return any of your Music Matters LPs due to pressing defects? And are they generally free of surface noise? I have only heard the ones I got from zippy (stunners), and haven't waded through the huge thread at SH.

Unless he moved the speakers into a room with a fireplace...

Are the Blue Note and Impulse! SACDs limited and numbered? I'm thinking about subscribing to those and hand picking the albums I really want on vinyl.

You've been to pj's house? I can just imagine you two getting together

Milt Jackson and Ray Brown - Montreux '77 (ojc) it looks like they photoshopped Milt Jackson's head onto the cover

I don't understand...or is this an inside joke amongst Ultrasone fans?

Hehe what was the name of the band?

Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond - St Louis Blues

Not just that, but I think Ray's post is inappropriate because he is using the IEMs with his amps (though he didn't explicitly state), which people are going to think are a good match for the Westone and might seek an RSA amp out.
