Oh yes Mike (or Jack) if you guys like post rock Godspeed You! Black Emperor F#A#(infinity) sounds awesome on vinyl.

I would love to compare my im716 to an E500. The im716 sounds really close to the ER4p, and I feel it has really good extension for an IEM while not sacrificing any of the highs.

He sent me the Hoffman DVDs and was really nice about it. He's just a bit over zealous.

It's pretty cool in a super cheesy kinda way. I usually rock it on my Zu Druids and Ed9 with Rudistor amp.

NESperado is the only game music I listen to. Heavy metal covers of NES/SNES songs \m/

sovkiller is a good guy and all but come on. What is it about U shaped FR's that makes people flock to these headphones? It's the same with the DT770. Midrange = music. I'll get to hear the Ed9 at the Boston meet, will update my impressions. /rant off

Ocean's 13 after this Jose Gonzalez CD is done.

1 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Delicious when consumed sparingly.

Nice. If you're a Sabbath fan you have to track down their green label US first pressings. Hearing the basslines and drums was an eye opener for me.

Glad to hear all sounds better. How does Opeth sound on vinyl? Thats a band I figured would sound better CD.

Might as well get the best of both Mr Capitole

Ghost riding probably the invention of some modern Darwin genius. (ghost riding a lawn mower, lmbo) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlTvSUCCqPo]YouTube - Ghostride the Volvo[/ame] (I advise putting this one on mute) "when i get writers block i ghostride ya bitch"

I need to link some ghost riding youtube vids. That is probably the funniest music inspired stupidity I've seen.

I'll get you next time Reks

That's true. But when I had my M3 built I believe it was set to drive HD580s.

I think I put an hour or so on them before mailing them to Jack just to make sure they worked fine. Glad to hear that you like them. Strange that you don't have much headroom on your Dynahi, my former M3 was able to drive them fine at 11 o'clock position and my source is standard 2 v output. I think you'll really like them with classical music that is really dynamic.

The Prestige was one of my favorite movies last year. Good choice on Cube as well. Though Cube 2 and Cube Zero pale in comparison they are worth watching.

Are there any other L3000 + Zana Deux owners? mulveling sent me a PM, so looking forward to his impressions. Anyone else?

Speakers are fun too.

Laughing my butt off

Indeed! I suppose my post came off as pretty harsh last night. Though I'm still not a fan of how it looks. The rest of the amp is good looking, I like the wood and the tranys left uncovered.

IMO it makes it less work for the manufacturer to leave them that way for biasing. There's nothing holding them back from leaving the sockets internally and having the biasing done at the top or back of the case. It's just a matter of wiring it to a different location. The only reason I brought it up is I've seen DIY amps that have easy access to the inside of the case where you can bias the tubes. But the best looking amps I've seen have a spot where you can bias the tubes from the top or (my preference) the back of the case. Now if the 6c33c socket prevents it from doing that then I understand why they left them outside. They look really good on the Zana Deux, but I don't know if that's an auto biasing circuit or not. edit: nope looked at the pictures, they could have easily wired the biasing posts to a different part of the amp.

No seriously I don't think I'd accept that if I was paying $1400 for it. I don't have speakers and I already have a well built K1000 power amp.
