I really needed an excuse to post that picture.

Well this welcome thread turned into a wreck

Christ this is the worst. Somehow lack of midrange is now a good thing and equals monitoring quality.

Laptop battery. It will be nice to get 3.5 hour battery cycles again

Thanks I should take some better ones in natural light, that was taken in my basement. I agree the overall feel, build quality, even smell is great. The right pair of RS-1s also look really good. And R10s with better wood grains, are sweet.

I'm sort of partial to the L3000 as well. Even before owning them I thought they were the best looking headphones.

Elephas you could always contact Shindo Labs and have them build you a nice amp (I am evil I know)

Cool. Any pictures before you installed them?

Nate was going to PM you, but thought others might benefit from your impressions. What do you think of the cable?

Icky Thump is The White Stripe's latest album, it's pretty good. But the CD was destroyed by compression. SH/KG did the vinyl which was straight from the master tape.

I think a lot of it has to do with the mastering of the true source material- the music. A lot of CDs just sound like crap, and unfortunately audiophile companies like MFSL and SH/KG will sometimes only release stuff on vinyl. A lot of the classic rock we listened to were either reissues on Classic Records or Analog Productions. Their remastered CDs on Rhino, EMI, etc sound like shit. No CDP is going to make the Icky Thump CD sound better than the vinyl.

So bling. Can barely see the platter.

Megan Fox ftw

Good to know.

The Canare "slinky" always turned me off, strictly from an aesthetics point of view. I might have to grab some Profis.

Nice Yeah I know fir.st down was changed to something random. But I definitely remember "touchdown" being changed to "extra point", that messed with a few people

No way, not knowing is half the fun. On another forum I frequented a few years ago they had the craziest word filters. Like during a Superbowl game something like "first down" would be something completely random.

Ahahaha word filter in effect!

What are your preferred RCA connectors? I'm thinking about buying some good bang for the buck connectors and looking for opinions. No strict budget. Will need a total of 8.

Though I'm sure they command an enormous mark up I can say that these will be the speakers I'm saving up for. The FR integration was something impressive. The M^3 definitely drives them really well. I think it's more a synergy issue, where the Melos sounds more liquid with the L3000 (and my preferred sound).

Keep in mind the Naim sounded really good as well. I hope so too. My mind was blown listening to The Fragile. I'm now going to hunt down a sealed copy just in case.

Jack YGPM at the other place

You'll have to stunt your shades in doors the bling will be so strong.

Welcome. This is a good forum for info, but like any forum it has its biases. Mostly it's a chill place to hang out

His wife's an attending physician and he's a cardiology fellow (interventional cards attending in 2 years). They aren't hurting for money No idea what a dealer would ask for, but list is close to $20k.
