I just checked the Florida thread, the Extreme looks so awesome.

Is it worth getting a cheap Sony CE595 for just multi-channel SACDs? I'm really happy with redbook as it is (and my DA10), since most of the music I listen to is released on this format. But there are a few mutli-channel SACDs that I'd love to hear on my K1000. Do you guys think it's worth it? And will I be able to send the analog cables straight to my Pass Labs amp or is something fancy required?

MPX3 SE = $2200?, Supra-XLR = $3000? you know what to do

No problem

DT770. That thing won't budge on your head no matter how much you're moving

Tyll you have sold me. Feb is the perfect time for an upgrade right after my boards. And I'm stealing that Hawaiin thing, because it's so much cooler than Merry Christmas.

GG that is an awesome deal. That is incredibly tempting with DAC upgrade, I could completely remove my HD650 from my current setup.

Your balanced amp came in at around $1000 with tubes? Good deal...

If it's an improvement along the lines of switching from a good DAC to an exceptional DAC I would pay $950 for it. Only 2 (non-headphone) upgrades have yielded that sort of improvement.

Does anyone here have the USB Off Ramp Turbo 2? I know of only one person on Headfi that has one and he said it was an improvement over an Audiophile USB as transport to his DA10. I'm a bit skeptical and Empirical Audio makes no mention of a money back guarantee. Their engineer posts a lot on Headfi and AudioAsylum. Website: http://www.empiricalaudio.com/

I stopped reading after he wrote a whole paragraph jizzing over a Lamborghini. I think he put it up on YouTube now...

Isis - The Absence of Truth Spock's Beard - self titled The Pineapple Thief - Little Man The Beatles - Love The Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics Thom Yorke - The Eraser Boris and Sunn O))) - Altar Boris - Pink Mogwai - Mr Beast Mogwai - Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait Circle - Miljard Soriah - Chao Organica In A Minor Yo La Tengo - I am Not Afraid of You And Will Beat Your Ass

Be a man celebrate it twice.

Good deal, sold fast.

I'll need to read something other than a 6moons review to convince me.

It looks like I'm joining Team HD650. Traded my Beyerdynamic DT770 for the HD650. I was looking for darker sound to go along with the K1000. The Beyer fit that but took a hit to the midrange, and strangely the bass really isn't as impactful as the HD650

A balanced Supra/preamp is soooo tempting.

Ray's R10 sounded really good (Mikhails lower serial ok). I'd just never ever, even when I'm a millionaire pay that much for a headphone. And I seriously dislike the L3000 As far as bass, PS-1 and Omega 2 are the holy grail for me (quality, quantity, extension, texture)

This one? http://www.cryo-parts.com/psrec.html How hard was it to install? Shit I'll try it for 20 bones

I definitely need to give them a second chance. But I'm looking for a really bassy headphone so I doubt I'd seriously consider buying one. A few people have noted AT synergy with the DA10. (A900ltd and W5000)

I'm still on the fence about whether I like I the W5000 or not. I slightly prefer the darth beyer woodied DT770 to the W5000 (I agree R10 = best closed). But this is strictly as a "fun" headphone, I wouldn't use either as my main headphone.

"you do not have access to the forums" scared me for a bit

PS3. I intend to have one tomorrow. That I won't be keeping. X360 costing less is bullshit. After you buy the add on HD-DVD drive and wireless adaptor it costs just as much as the 60GB PS3. And the $50 a year Xbox Live, vs the free PS3 net.

I saw the meet impressions thread. Very impressive guys.

Can we report people for post-rehashing about products they've never heard before? Theres so many people recommending and not recommending gear based off what they've read on Headfi. Of course they don't make this clear in their post, you just know if you've been reading such persons posts. It's not adding anything and only watering down gear impressions.
