how do you people have time to read head-fi so much. i'm too busy waiting for people here to say something.

actually if that seat could be lain backwards, a man could lay on his stomach, if he enjoys **NSFW**, so technically it could be a great toy for a man as well.

ha! i could never spend that much on an amp. but vinyl has gripped me like nothing else in this hobby. if someone put a gun to my head today and made me buy a new table, I'd get a Rega, probably the new Rega P3 Mk24. Then once 909 sells me his Saturn because he is shelling out the big bux for the godly super high end godlike god source, I'll be all-rega, at least for CDs and vinyl. I like Rega because the emphasis is on simplicity. I think VPI's are teh super pretty, but seem much too complicated for an amateur like myself.

Anybody heard this cart? Rumor has it the 440MLa pairs well with the SL1200, and I'm thinking of picking one up not just for varieties sake, but also so I can get some practice adjusting cartridge alignment. http://www.needledoctor.com/Audio-Technica-440MLa-Cartridge?sc=9

did somebody mention audio line out? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN!! fukcing sweetest hats i've ever seen. camo 4 tha urban jungle yall, damn, fuck.

wow! i hadn't read any reviews of this movie, but I'll be sure to avoid it now. i enjoyed the first two. you know, the latest x-men movie sucked as well.

haha, luckily the melos makes the RS-1 its bitch! haha! listening with flats, floyd "the wall". that bass hit at the beginning of "another brick in the wall pt 2" was PERFECT! ah, here come the chorus of children, bit of that rs-1 harshness, but thats okay. good to have both cans. but before its over with i've either got to buy some kab upgrades for this TT or buy a P3 or mmf-7. in the future of course.

The HP-2 is absolutely brutal on my SL1200. Does not like it at all! All my records have this cold, lifeless feel. Still plenty of depth and analog "bigness", but pretty bad lack of dynamics. The RS-1 is much more kind. Transparency can be a bitch sometimes I guess.

Believe this!

woot, grats man. but hey, get that mmf-5 up and running. it don't even NEED a dac!

thanks for sharing the picture, I love it. almost as bizarre as aerius posting one of his masturbators or something.

It is a shame, but in a way I'm pleased, since now they'll be able to go out with a bang and wrap up the story nicely without dragging it out.

dude it looks like an ipod, its white like a white ipod. white is better then most other headphones, which are usually black. rasizm, damn. for one reason or another the k1000 didn't make them enough money to continue manufacturing it. they look like they would be comfortable as hell on my head though.

"the pee pee soaked trousers"

ah well. someday I'll hear a k1000. when I do I'll bring my copy of "the drift" .

I take offense at your differing opinion. How dare you disagree with a preference I feel strongly about. come to think I haven't listened to "the drift" with the hp2s yet, gotta try that out. and yes I agree, it is a flawless album. i mean really, just simply amazing. I haven't been able to turn on ANY of my cool rock friends to it though, because I think it is an album you have to JUST listen to, not listen to on your iPod while your on the treadmill, or are overly distracted by the internet. and i think audiophile types who put lots of effort and time into their rigs are more likely to consider listening to music as a singular activity. not that i don't multitask and listen to music to. I get some of my best listening done on the way to work on my car's stock stereo.

We differ here. I own all three but prefer the HD650 in almost all circumstances. I think the HD600 does violins a bit sweeter, thats about all it has on the 650 to these ears. seriously though, have you listened to "the drift" with the hd650? I know its nuts, but it is the kind of audio experience I could build a rig around. Just seal the transport shut with "the drift" in it, running through a ppx3 with the hd650 permanently wired into the jack. its amazing.

get behind me, ye unholy satan cans!!

bah!! i'm such a softie. I don't know if I can talk shit about the new tiny SP anymore now that I've actually seen a picture of Mikhail. He looks like such a swell guy.

TRADITIONAL ENGLISH FISH AND CHIPS

But more seriously, I'm was trying to give it a good listen and throw lots of music at it before I gave any impressions, BUT, in brief: Its really just amazing. I mean really, just super. The HP2 handles congested passages MUCH better then the RS-1. Next to the HD650, the HP2 is the least fatiguing can I've ever owned. I like the way the HP2 presents highs better then the RS-1: high frequency treble spikes leave me grinning with joy, because I keep thinking the high will "break" and display some sibilance, like it tends to occasional do with the RS-1, but the HP2 just reels that shit in, its marvelous. Present in both is the famous Grado midrange happiness, though I'm thinking it is not as boosted in the HP2. Obviously the HP2 is more neutral, thats what everybody says, but its not K701 overly polite neutral, but more of a "here is what the recording you are listening to sounds like" neutral. I remember reading in one of jpak's reviews that the HP2 will let you know if a recording is crappy, and this is true. Having said that, it is marvelous to here say, a late-seventies DIY-type recording, and here it in all its true glory, tape hiss and all! Decay is noticeably better with the HP2. Bass and midbass is pumping and very pleasing, much like the RS-1. I am listening through the Melos, but I can't speak too much for it in particular because I haven't been able to listen to the HP2 through the PPX3 yet, because I am just so hooked on exactly how it sounds now. I don't want to goto sleep, I don't want to goto work. When I wake up in the morning I stare at my rig and it makes me want to call in sick and just listen to music all day. This has not happened before with other audio equipment. But eventually I will do some more extensive comparisons and give you all some similarly amateur impressions. Also I have the Dynahi coming in hopefully next week. It has a high/low gain switch, so I'll at least give the HP2 and RS-1 a shot with that. Please note these are impressions after just a couple days of listening, card subject to change.

Still burning it in. I put the Melos + hp2 out in my garage and hooked it up to an old radio tuner. I've got the volume maxxed out and I'm playing static through it, so I won't actually listen to them for at least a 1000 hours.

And you probably won't have to, since he had to call you every day and dogcuss you to get you to do what he was paying you for.
