Would you build them inside bread baking tins so they smell nice when they warm up?

Har de har de har.

Well fucking played sir. Bets can be taken on how long it is before Kai posts that picture on head-fi.

The VX. Not the MX. I like the smaller mouse I think.

I bought one of those about 10 days ago. Even now that I'm used to it, whenever I go downstairs and use my dads pc, I want my VX Revolution back. Maybe palm mouses just aren't for me.

One would imagine though, that a 2xxx K1000 is still, recognisably, a K1000 when compared to an 11xxx K1000. The differences cannot be so large, one would, again, I assume, that one would find them to be so different from one another as different instances of the same model that one would find one of them in preference to another headphone which is not a K1000 compared to that other headphone where the original, other, K1000 is regarded as inferior.

Sent you a PM.

My feeling is that while the K1000 drives with more push at a lower volume, that drive is comparitively abrasive and grating and ultimately requires going further into drive (or the application of +bass EQ) in order to satisfactorily flesh out the low end. And even then, that grating remains in the midrange irrespective of such intervention. That grain is what sets the K1000 from the Ergo AMT even though both are equally treble happy and the Ergo a bit more more bass restricted. The O2 is smooooooooooooooth in the mids, has a fleshy body in the low end and suffers not one tiny bit from the inducement of listening fatigue I get from any of the other headphone I own or have owned after varying periods of time at various listening levels. (The next best in this regard was my SR-202, which does perhaps say something...) I've tried hard to make the K1K work for me, but ultimately it fails on its ascent to the top on a relatively high cliff near the peak, rather than clinging onto the summit with bloody and broken fingers as the Omega 2 stomps repeatedly on its hands as the TakeT does. The Surrounder never left base camp, it likes to just party with the lady mountaineers the night before the climb and then retreat into its box with a hangover.

Mini ice cream cones about 3 inches high. I've had four.

Yes. Any that are found are removed, deep fried in batter and served alongside chips and a pickled egg. I'm very very close to selling the K1000.

O2>K1K. Indeed.

Just cracked out a headphone that isn't the Orthodome for the first time in weeks. TakeT is sounding good.

A model that painstaking which doesn't then actually then turn on and go is a painstaking waste of fucking time rather than a painstaking awesome.

Emotiva was the consideration but the Soundlabs are off the cards so it's moot. The attitude is a mixture of not enjoying them that much more than the 21L even though yes they sound very nice. The expense, with the extra amp expense on top and the disruption to the room. Also the more sensible way to spend the money is on an upgrade to the central heating system. It was fun having them for a couple days though.

I was born in Glasgow, but I do try my best to avoid it, the festering pustule of a city that it is.

It's the second biggest room in the house, just that its full of other stuff. I put the speakers along the "long" wall on either side of the fireplace today. After taking most of the furniture out of the room. (Long =20cm longer not including the windowbay) It has improved matters. Bass is uneven though. I'll fight it out with placement play tomo.

Drove to Glasgow and back. Then listened to Soundlabs all day. Ate pizza. Drank a bottle of Brewdog Tokyo*. Listened some more.

Hippitty Burpdai Old Stick!

They only work with smoke powered amps, and once the smoke gets out of the case, the speakers stop making sound.

No, proper room filling low end, with a good bit of whack. Got too much with the bass on +3dB. Very different to the 21L low end though. Sweet spot still narrow but not microscopic. Took a bit of experimentation with the toe-in. They were firing straight on in the shop and were further apart too.

Decided to give them a go anyway. In place and Bryston photos not taken. Sounded much nicer in the room once we had shuffled them around a bit than they did in the demo room at the shop. Bi-amped them with the NAD on the treble and the Quad on the bass. Sounded pretty nice until you turned the volume up into drive and then it went all bad. Additionally, the amps were running hot. The Quad would have certainly overheated and failed if we had kept it up. The shop also loaned us a Bryston 300w/ch. Which did a considerably more admirable job. However, the crux is that while they sound nicer than the Quad 21L. (They sound bloody lovely to my ears). It is very difficult to justify them sounding ten times better at ten times the cost, before amps are added in. I'll chat with dad about it tomo. I think that dad had some secret dream that 'stats would offer him a presentation which was close to that of live music and finds himself dissapointed on that front. And they do pull the hairs on your arms outward.

Hippitty Burpdai!

Watch out. That place is full of rust!
