  1. I read this BB finale speculation on another forum and it made me laugh:

     

    Usual Suspects ending with Walt Jr. revealing (as he walks away without crutches or any sign of a limp) that the entire series was his elaborate manipulation of his parents to get them ridiculously rich and then off each other so he can safely inherit it.

  2.  True dat, they should definitely just concentrate on making a reliable SR-Omega with stronger/better arc assembly. Interesting thoughts on the HD800, I may have to revisit them at some point (and figure out which mods you are referring to).

     

    Something about the old Stax which had that "magic" even if less technically capable, that the newer units I've heard are missing. And what is music for, if not the magic and the extraordinary?

    The mods are documented by Tyll on Inner Fidelity. Basically some foam/fabric material lining the inside earcup to kill some treble ringing. Also mild FR smoothing around 6 Khz.

  3. JMHO for me the modded 800 with BA were better than the BH/007mk1 or KGSS/007mk1. I love the 007, they will always have a special spot, just like the SR-O. I've had a chance to hear the 009 with BH in quiet settings on a few occasions and they never moved me. Even when PJ had them for as low as $3300 I didn't feel I wanted to buy one. Stax did something really right with the SR-O, black magic or whatever :)

     

    With the Gilmore Lite I don't think the 800 are as special. I'm not sure if it's the DHTyness of the BA or higher output Z, but that combo clicks for me.

  4. They already made that, it's called the SR-Omega. Which I guess makes sense with your theory since they most likely used the T2 to voice it.

    The most perfect Stax ever made  :cry:  . If they had SR-007 mk1 reliability I would have kept them even if I very rarely listened to headphones.

     

    Not to go all HPA, but the modded HD800 are pretty close in terms of tone. And they have superior imaging. But lack that ethereal soundstage only the SR-O could do.

  5. Any of you Wire viewers watch Oz? It's not as good (no where near), but I'd be curious about what people thought of it. I am half way through S3 of Oz and it's not bad; it touches on many of the same issues as The Wire.

  6. I am streaming a long playlist of Sonny Rollins in the office today.  I am having trouble matching volume levels between straight Spotify and this different Spotify.  There might be a bit of difference in sound quality but it is not dramatic on my little Stax system.  

     

    I do kind of miss my apps though.

    The apps is a big reason why I wish we could use the regular client.

  7. Trying it now.

    Let us know how you like it. Currently streaming Big John Patton over the omnis while cooking. Having access to a huge chunk of Blue Note's catalog is so damn nice.

  8. I've seen the Sopranos multiple times, and I love The Twilight Zone.

    Who are the non-loathsome characters on The Sopranos? The only ones I can think of are maybe a few guys in the FBI; all minor characters. And Paulie.

     

    I've attempted to watch this again (I watched it all a couple of years after it ended), but I just can't bring myself to do it. First time I watched it I sort of glossed over how annoying Tony actually is.
