What headphone excels with what music? Or do you just like the change for everything? (i have never heard the HP-2)

Best thread in off topic.

Whats bad about the RA-1, I've never heard one.

The K1000 need a minimum of 8watts to come even close to their potential. I heard the K1000 out of a PPX3-SLAM it sounded good, but I've heard it sound much better.

Tool (opening band was Isis) on Oct 3 Manchester, NH. It was an average show.

Dude the K1000. By far. K1000 has some of the best impact I've heard in a headphone; and I listen to them about 1.5 cm toed out. The Omega 2 felt like it had more impact than my STAX SR-404, but the SR-404 was a little tame.

aerius I thought you were a K340 user? Weren't you DIYing a custom tube amp for them?

I'm no SinglePower expert but the PPX3-SLAM is the best I've heard the RS-1 sound. I can only imagine the MPX3 sounding great as well. And yeah I was thinking of getting one with preamp option as well, I made a thread about it here: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=199141 $120 is a pretty cheap addon for a preamp. I think RS-1 and K1000 would be a nice contrasting combination.

I prefer every other AT. I've only heard the A500, AD2000, W5000, W11jpn and L3000. The L3000 is super bass heavy, doesn't have the soundstage and imaging of the other ATs, slightly recessed midrange and a grainy treble. Being made out of the most luxurious leather is all it has going for it imo edit: sorry Reks I didn't see your post.

I can't stand the GS-1000. Yet another super bass boosted headphone to please...um...I don't even know at the price they're charging. Boring, sucked out midrange what was Grado thinking The PS-1 is cool since it still has an awesome midrange.

It sounds so good out of a good amp and source (ppx3-slam nos tubes), but at the same time so good even out of a simple circuit portable. So sweeet with Clapton Unplugged, no harsh treble at all. Does anyone know what Powermax (if thats the name of the company) was selling them before the drama bomd ensued? edit: $530

The L3000 is an embarassment to the AT name.

Montoya is going to Nascar... This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in F1 in my being a fan of 4 years. A South American F1 driver going to one of the worst motor sports on the face of the earth. And is Button's Williams contract ever going to go through

Impact. They're plenty fast. I can't understand how some people say they're slow, maybe with the amount of bass people perceive slower attack?

KGSS + O2 is a good setup, I only heard one briefly. I would say it's killer for classical music, but not great for rock.
