Turned out very, very nicely KG.

I think Hillary would do a fine job. From talking to friends in Ireland and England it seems Obama/Clinton is also close to 50/50.

Getting parts from AKG is near eem-poss-eee-bill, unless you're Fitz and sleeping with their parts guy

Has anyone heard the Legacy Audio Studio or Von Schweikert VR1?

Yeah it's a great program

I associate harshness with midrange peakiness more than treble. Which is why I avoid headphones like the SR-225, W5000, and Stax SR-404. Flats and HD414 pads helped, but they still sounded bad to me. Which is why I really need an extended audition of the Omega 2 again now that I've heard a lot of higher end gear. From what I heard twice in the past I should really love them with where my tastes have gone. I was really tempted to buy a pair after the NYC 2006 meet, but I think I ended up getting a K1000 amp instead.

Exactly what Salt Peanuts described. They're the harshest Grados (maybe the GS-1000 is worse) I've heard. This was with flats, bowls and HD414 pads. I preferred the smoother sound of the HF-1 and SR-60. Even my stock SR-325 was bright but didn't have the awful nasal character of the SR-225.

IMO the SR-225 are the worst Grado. I tried owning them twice.

Convert to WAV with either foobar or dbPowerAmp. Then burn like you normally would. If you're using foobar download this plugin: http://www.foobar2000.org/components/index.html (Monkey's Audio Decoding support)

I wasn't big on the DAC-AH either. The E-MU0404usb is a great performer.

Oh yes I have to mention Larsen. They are one of the better post rock acts. Play is my favorite album by them. Nest - Trail Of The Unwary is more ambient Finnish folk also one of my favorite albums of 2007. decent summary of them: edit: and A Silver Mt. Zion is a GY!BE side project that is alright. Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood another decent post rock album. Saxon Shore - The Exquisite Death Of Saxon Shore sort of like EitS, but more interesting. And Russian Circles is a bit harder more post metal ala Jesu or Isis. Saved the best for last. If you're only going to check out one then check out: Six Organs of Admittance - School of The Flower. Hella awesome acoustic/ambient folk album. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/School-Flower-Six-Organs-Admittance/dp/B0006L5S32]Amazon.com: School of the Flower: Six Organs of Admittance: Music[/ame]

Oh yeah damn Duos.

Well I got shut down real fast

That's because your preamp didn't use 1 but 2 12AU7s That looks like it will require the muchos grande monies, and I don't even like headphones that much anymore

The thread starter was Todd (tkam), I wasn't looking for a cat. No need to apologize to me

Damn during my post rock obsession phase I discovered a ton of bands. I started to get burned out since a lot were just Explosions in the Sky ripoffs. Lis Er Stille The Pirate Ship Quintet We're From Japan! are worth checking out. I'll see if I can think of more.

Cool, thanks for the info. I was planning on using something other than the 12au7. Will have to see how much free time my master mind builder has.

You could get a snobby cat

BUT does it use teflon as a dielectric? I don't want none of that time-smearing nonsense.

Would they be able to sustain the weight? It would probably have to be a Chuck Norris mannequin. Or equivalent.

Even if our trade deal went through, I think the amp would be a bit too powerful. I'm thinking Pete Millet SRPP K1000 amp right now, after reading how good the Sowter transformers are.

I'm holding off for the revision 2 PS3 (ala slim PS2, external power brick). They're just too big and garish in their current form.
