The big Sound Labs have genuinely scary bass. The dealer even put on home theater bass test discs and I was mighty impressed. I must have a pair of 945s or Ultimate PX-1. But I'm going to settle for Maggies for the time being, $33k speakers are just out of the question at the moment. But a kitty had been started the moment I heard them!

I never said the BH makes the O2 more forward and dynamic if that's what you mean? Dynamics has nothing to do with how forward or relaxed something sounds. Maybe the BH makes the 404Le less forward by giving it more spatial resolution- it definitely does this moving from a Pro bias transformer box with the O2 to the BH. But I haven't heard the LE on a pro bias transformer box. We'll have to disagree with the Lambda sound signatures. The regular 404 didn't have particularly hard hitting bass when I owned them. The Pros certainly did on the same amp with more midbass. The 404 did have better extension, but moot really. I'd like to hear all three now that I have a Blue Hawaii, I somehow doubt my ranking would change much from SR-404LE > SR-Lambda > SR-Lambda Sig > 404 > Sr-Lambda Pro

I think you're underplaying the role of an electrostatic amp. The Lambda Pro mids aren't terribly detailed given the midrange suck out. They are impressive sounding and probably the most "dynamic sounding" of the Lambda series with the hard hitting bass.

Yup I thought the same thing when I heard them with meet amps (they also sounded very forward). I changed my mind with the Blue Hawaii.

Shouldn't a fully functional pair of drivers charge up instantly?

I dislike every Lambda I've heard except the SR-Lambda and SR-404LE. The SR-404LE is definitely the most resolving of the Lambas as well. They (LE) do not surpass the HE60 or SR-007 mk1.

What are the mids like on the CD3000 That's a lot of headphones

Shhhhh there is quite a CD3000 following here I couldn't sell mine fast enough.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the touch screen aesthetic for 2 channel systems. I don't really require a whole lot of functions to just play music.

When is Ayre going to release a DAC with more digital inputs

They're not that great out of the box, but with a few simple mods I enjoyed them for how little they cost. T20v2 (can't remember if it is closed or not?) is also good with some basic dampening, but the price has sort of risen on these since they're OOP.

Actually this happened to me as well when I used to wear a watch year round. It's not really an issue since the fat around the muscle does regenerate. I just need to stop buying audio gear and music then I'll but a sufficiently nice watch.

Charles Mingus - The Complete Candid Recordings mosaic records, lp # 1 and 2 edit: ffuuuuuu this is great. Loving the avant-garde songs with Eric Dolphy.

Just a warning about Photobucket (free accounts only)- they now make you log in every 90 days or the account goes inactive.

Is that a Dark Side Roomba?

I am planning to arrive Thursday afternoon (12-3 pm ish) as well.
