you mean seven and in love?

by sleeper I mean boring.

I think Sounds has some great moments in it, but some sleeper tracks as well. it's like a mixture of Exciter/Ultra and the pre-Black Celebration post-Clarke output. I definitely like the analog synths, and at least to my ears it sounds like it's not brickwall mastering. warm and open.

yup, would look great next to one.

"The Grobe" has one of my favorite lyrics of all time: "sometimes the ones you hold so close can make you cry / but it's a pain in the ass to let 'em go" Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know

Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue

Believe it or not, the ear can eventually adjust to a source downgrade, at least in my experience. That is, if one considers going from the 840C to Denon DA-500 a sufficient enough downgrade. At first the midrange of the DA-500 seemed a little hot and thin, but my ear has accepted this and adjusted to it. I can still tell it's there sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. But I bet going back to something like an 0404 would be difficult or impossible to adjust to.

to be fair, Dio's voice on this recording sounds a little etched even with the convolver off. I guess the recording gear of the day couldn't fully capture his greatness.

I'm trying this right now. Having never heard an SA5000, its hard to measure the convolver's level of success. I will say the overall soundstage has shrunk to the size of a Mardi Gras dubloon (more Grado like), and the upper midrange and treble is a little etched, and there is less bass. Sounds unnatural.

fuck yeah! is it any good? i hope they tour in the US. and just when I put on: Dio - Holy Diver

ladies and gentlemen, we have another n_maher win.

That was really easy. Props to Sennheiser for a very end-user friendly design. 1. Pull off the pads 2. Snap off the headband 3. Pull off the grill 4. Pull out the bottom part of the headband ring attachment thingy. 5. Put in the new driver (Sennheiser calls it System 300R, and system better describes it, since its a driver in a housing with the input jacks for the senn headphone cable connectors) 6. Reassemble. Interesting side note: the drivers I received are the newer, white drivers, and the old drivers were the black ones. Whether the drivers are truly different other then the color is a subject best left to one hundred million HF threads, but the difference in sound to me seems readily apparent. Bass has tightened, and both treble and midrange are slightly more forward. Of course this could just be that we're dealing with brand new drivers. So without further ado: Moo monkey moo monkey make modern milliseconds Grrrrrrrr gravy grrrrrr gravy get get go ghost untz untz untz untz untz untz untz night nipple netherworld --- volume be loud blowin' my fool head. peace i'm out.

daaaaaaaaamn!!

got the drivers in today, that was fast. later tonight I'll attempt to dismantle them and pop these in. then begins the 8,000 hour burn in procedure; white noise through the ha-2 at maximum volume.

still just a rumor IMO, perpetuated by lies from the tyll/jude/voltron/#s vaporware hype machine, for unknown ends.

happy birthday kg!

happy birthday!

i lurv bass in my transducers.

also, I'm going to start putting I DONT SELL ASS WIPES FROM CANADA in all my for sale ads.

after a few years in this hobby, I think it's safe to say I'm a tubes guy. I've owned some awesome SS gear, but tubes always pull me back, even with all the bullshit hassles. I have yet to try tubes in speaker amplification however. WANT THAT TESTER

ah, that's right, KG was talking about the upcoming pre/pro.
