but are you a grateful dead fan? i think garcia does some of the best covers of dylan songs.

So yourmusic declined my credit card last week, and I had no idea why. Yesterday I got an email apologizing, saying it was their mistake, and as compensation take 20% any cart for the next four days. I'm loving these yourmusic sales. I just bought: Antal Dor?ti: Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker/ Serenade For Strings (SACD Hybrid) 1 $13.98 Iggy Pop: Lust For Life 1 $5.59 Bill Frisell: Nashville 1 $5.59 Bill Frisell: Unspeakable 1 $5.59 Bill Frisell: East/West 1 $13.98 Medeski Martin & Wood: Uninvisible 1 $5.59 Medeski Martin & Wood: The Dropper 1 $5.59 Medeski Martin & Wood: End Of The World Party 1 $5.59 Adrian Belew: Side Three 1 $5.59 Adrian Belew: Side One 1 $5.59 Adrian Belew: Side Two 1 $5.59 Frank Zappa: Over-Nite Sensation 1 $5.59 Frank Zappa: Have I Offended Someone? 1 $5.59 Bob Dylan & Grateful Dead: Dylan & The Dead 1 $5.59 Cave In: Antenna 1 $5.59 Byron Janis: Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition (SACD Hybrid) 1 $5.59 Frank Zappa: Apostrophe( ') (Remastered) 1 $5.59 Daft Punk: Homework 1 $5.59 Frank Zappa: Hot Rats 1 $5.59 Rich Boy: Rich Boy 1 $5.59 Mahavishnu Orchestra: Birds Of Fire 1 $5.59 Santana, Mahavishnu, McLaughlin: Love Devotion Surrender (Remastered) 1 $5.59 My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult: The Best Of TKK 1 $5.59

C. Cot is a friend of mine, chillin in the back lounge drinking wine. From Steamboat to Johnny Jordaanplein across the chocolate sea. Two decker and a tall boy can, glitter in the night time, elfin man. The road is a pinstripe Watson fan as far as I can see. Fair is fair is, ferris wheel, chicken on the black top pushing steel. Dance all night with the back door man by the light of the yellow moon. Two tank tequila song, a little bit of Mary all night long. The big black bag and the red balloon and the sun always comes up much too soon!

consider yourself reported!! the powa has gone to the mods heads. soon i will compare you to nazis, beware!

You going to have any speakers in there? I'm a total nub with speakers but I heard speakers + hard wood = bad. Also hardwood plus turntable is bad. But if you are listening to digital on headphones this is moot. or i could be wrong and all of this is moot. just thought i'd spread some potential misinformation.

yall just can't get enough of those sweet flakes i be sprinklin on yalls shit, damn.

Got a few good ones from yourmusic today: T.I. - King ("i got a '66 impala soo fresh") Ministry - Houses Of The Mole (political jourgenson) Widespread Panic (w/ the Dirty Dozen Brass Band) - Night Of Joy (lost this one couple years back to the ravages of time) Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion - Classic Meets Cuba (this one should be cool!) Depeche Mode - Exciter (didn't own this on CD yet for some reason) also have Paul's Boutique back ordered. my collection needs some beat z boys.

It'll probably still be disappointing because, even though it is on vinyl and mastered better, it is still Modest Mouse. That is its true flaw.

Welcome to head-case!

pretty much you need to get some and send them to me and i'll find out for you. i need to look at them in person though.

really? I didn't even know they made external computer power supplies.

cool, what is that? looks like a badass gaming machine.

Thanks for sharing your impressions, all very well said. I am especially intrigued by the above quote. I know exactly what you are talking about with the HD650. Its like all the instruments are standing inside a big jello mold, that weaves and waves in time to my quavering hunger breath, craving the sweet, sweet pecans inside all the while. A not altogether unpleasant sound, mind you, just not focused and razorsharp like you are saying the L3000 is.

Looks like you registered months ago, but this is your first post. Welcome to head-case!

you got a source on that?

you mean the convenience of having all my music in one place accessed via my personal computer can be mine for only five thousand american dollars? [me=postjack]gathers up all his vinyl and smashes it in the backyard[/me] perfect sound forever motherfucker!!!

sounds cool! i'm not a big portable guy, but I admit to having dreams of one day using my computer as source again.

I guess this is actually a valid point. Lets say by some amazing miracle AT produced a can that at least approached the L3K's greatness (I am assuming it is great since it is probably now officially the most owned high end can on HC, i've personally never heard it), and for a quarter of the cost. The L3K would still retain its status and probably still command its high price tag because audio is such a subtle and subjective thing, and because many would still prefer the sound of the L3K. But the rest of the chumps could have their "l3k-lite" or whatever.

This is a good point. And the GS-1000 will always be, at best, a controversial can. At worst, it will completely fall out of favor with the headphone community. It seems to be popular amongst non-headphone audiophiles who don't know any better. Meaning they know the Grado name from their $2,500 grado cartridges, so they grab up the most expensive can in the line and assume it is the bees knees, as good as headphones get.

same thing happened to me. drive-by truckers at the 40 watt in athens, ga. holy shit that was a loud fucking concert.

Shouldn't you be studying for pharmacist school or something? seriously though, you are my hero, I just changed my screensaver.

Welcome to head-case!

Final verdict: ain't for me. The soundstage is great, the comfort is great, the bass is great, but the midrange is recessed and grainy, the highs can be sibilant, and the upper midrange/lower highs are slippery. Here's hoping the GS-2000 resolves some of these problems.
