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.

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
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.

are worth checking out. I'll see if I can think of more.
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.
Yup lub dem flats.
Flats + woody SR-325 are very nice. Still a tiny bit tizzy in the highs, and not the most detailed (compared to the L3000 and HP-2), but they're great for rock.
I should take a picture of them, Ian and Nate did a really nice job
I have a Grado SR-60 (which I can't get rid of, first headphone intro into hifi) and woody SR-325.
HF-1 are interesting. They didn't quite do it for me with bowls, but they had too much bass with flats \
Don't watch The Core.
I wasn't a fan of Sunshine either. It isn't very logical. And even if the characters were acting on emotion, that didn't make sense either.
