Maybe we'll see a flood of R10s for sale

Ugh please stop whining about this \ It lost its "cuteness" a really long time ago.

You're in my book

Rename it to Lipitor. Cats are dumb it would never know the difference.

That just blew my head

While I'm always eager to learn of more obscure ways of death, is there a preamp/volume control that will work in my situation that won't degrade the signal from my source (much)?

I keep thinking of headphones as "pairs" And I have no idea why, it's not like I'm an R10 owner

What other one? Sorry it probably should have read as "it's" (singular) rather than "they're" if that's what is causing the confusion

Huh?

Is there any setback (or problems that may occur) in using a TVC with SET amps? I'm sort of stumped on what I should get as a preamp for my speaker amps.

L3000

They're more comparable to the Omega 2 (driven by a good amp). The L3000 is much better than the SR-404. They're better than both older Lambdas as well (not sure about the Nova Sig).

Yup, same here. I don't really read the amp forum unless there is a thread that looks interesting.

Most people planning to buy the Predator are also K1000 owners

Haj did you tell Mikhail that you're making the NY meet (a couple of months in advance)? I think people have said that he gets things done faster if he knows the gear will be at a meet.

Weird that I've never owned the RS-1, and I love them so much.

What do you mean by SR-Lambda (open back)? Could you post some pictures?

oh shi...DT770...put them below the KSC75 e: if I got those Avantgardes I'd probably sell everything except the L3000 and K1000. It would be tempting to sell the K1000, but the SET 300B amps (Wavelength or Coincident) would probably sound too good with the Ks

edit: damn, Sennheiser HD580 stays in good. Sony CD3000 (I wonder why I forgot that one ) is the very last in good. Can't make tier 4 because it's really shitty value, it really belongs in a tier by itself

Best to worst (best to worst in individual tiers as well): Tier 1 (truly exceptional I would own them to the end of time if had infinite time to listen) AKG K1000 (both 10000 serial #) Audo Technica L3000 Grado HP-2 (x2, both pairs equal) Tier 2 (Very good) Sennheiser HD650 Grado HF-1 Tier 3 (Good) Sennheiser HD580 AKG K340 (bass heavy) / Grado SR-225 AKG K701 Stax SR-404 Altec Lansing im716 AKG K340 (middle ground) Tier 4 (usually excellent value) Alessandro MS-1 Grado SR-60 AKG K81dj Audio Technica A500 (really pretty bad) Sennheiser HD590 Koss KSC75 Shure E2c Koss SportaPro red = no longer own yeah the K340/SR-404 were kinda junk (SR-404 are actually probably the worst value headphone I've ever bought considering they sounded so bad and required an energizer) Senn HD580 was borderline very good/good, I bumped it up to very good since it's only ~ $160 (and I do enjoy them quite a bit on even very amateur systems) on K1000 vs L3000 it's very hard to rank one over the other. But purely based on technical merit the K1000 exceeds the L3000, but for listening time the L3000 gets most of my attention. This is because I don't have an amp for the K1000 at the moment and secondly I really love rock, jazz and blues on the L3000. Hope that helps your research Nanoha, I think I've ranked every headphone I owned but I'm sure I forgot some

Group buy on $160 ham

Ah damn the interface and Picasa2 is a cool program \

Has anyone used Google Picasa to host pictures on forums?
