Weird. My friend has and SR-80 with a 1/4" connector and his headphones are at least eight or nine years old. Same termination with the SR-80 I auditioned in the store around that time.

Weird...all the SR-80s I have seen had a 1/4" connector.

That's a good way of telling, assuming they weren't recabled. Looks like an SR-60 from the photo.

So does someone want to make me a Koss -> Stax adapter

No doubt, I'm looking forward to it. I'm happy to say that I think they are free of any etch. Reks they'll work on Stax amps, but they like the higher bias (620 or 630?).

They were made in a very limited quantity. A statement product.

They're still probably amazingly good. The problem would be finding one.

I guess I'm a Pass fan as well after owning one of their amps. But yeah any amp where you can go : how many watts is your amp : over a kilowatt : what :

So do I. But I'd really like to hear them with higher bias and the Blue Hawaii

Sigur Ros...Immortal Technique

If I had the cashola I'd shell out for an X1000.5. That's bragging rights right there.

I've only had them since this morning. But so far I'm really digging the sound Some initial impressions. Very balanced sound with exceptional tonality. The first thing I noticed is how forward the sound signature is (similar to the K1000). The soundstage isn't as large as the Omega 2 MK1. The Omega 2 has this uncanny ability to throw its voice like a ventriloquist projecting sounds outside the dimensions of the earspeaker. The Koss can't quite do that. The Koss have very, very nice midbass and impact making them fun to listen to with rock. They have a hint of that deep bass that is crying to come out, but doesn't extend that far. Mids and highs are very well balanced and nicely detailed. I still prefer the mids on the Omega 2, they have the ability to completely disappear. Just to see how they scale with the stock amp I swapped out the North Star M192 with my Denon DA-500 and then an old Panasonic DVD player. The ESP scale very nicely. Detail and imaging will take a bit longer to nail down, I'll need to listen to more reference recordings. They still possess that effortless nature of electrostats, like there isn't any hint of them struggling to keep up (sort of hard to describe in words ) Non sound impressions: Build quality isn't so great. They feel a bit flimsy. The stock cable must be like 3-3.5 feet, were they expecting us to use a shirt pocket amp without the extension cable Comfort is above average. Again I prefer the Omega 2. The Koss are similar to the Lambdas as far as comfort goes.

It would be neat if it was in a glass bottle, would be a cool keepsake. But plastic and chemicals doesn't exactly stand up to the test of time \

Sounds better than the Ice Cucumber from last summer

I don't think so. The computer is too noisy for anything other than closed headphones.

It's amazing that this card still has updated drivers for it. XP with SP2 and even has Vista drivers, it might be about ten years since it came out

Very dull Saturday night at my house so I decided to clean up the basement. Found this gem from over seven years ago. Installed it and enjoyed some music out of my old PC. Sounds very good, better than the EMU-0404usb from memory. Bonus points for having a Virtual Dynamics thickness breakout cable that could probably kill a small animal

I think I'll hang on to this one (and the rest of their DCCs I'll inevitably buy). I was reminded to get The Doors stuff when some clowns on XM Radio were trashing The Doors but thought Amy Winehouse was good

Buying music online is too easy Ah well at least this stuff is only going to be worth more, not less.

The Doors self titled DCC gold cd.

Too bad you didn't win that CDP in the HFi give away

Do you believe a good CDP can improve sound quality? If yes, then get to it

I'm going to keep it under wraps until I do get one. They don't come up too often and I'd rather not be competing with anyone else

I'm going to be getting one soon.

Picked up a few more goodies. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (DVD-A) Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream (CD/DVD-A) Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Castle Limited 2 disc
