So... They're meant for Mac users?

Cool, I'll do that. Oh, I know. Was just kidding. My options are do it myself (doubtfull), bug Renato again, get Jay-Be-Loud to work his magic, or pay KG $3-5k for the work.

Oh my god... I want 4 so bad. Any chance you need a kidney Kevin?

Hey! Those are on my amp. LOL! Maybe the tube rings had something to do with it... you never know. Well, I said it over there, but this is worth repeating. WOW! That is a fucking power supply! I can't wait to hear this beast. Out of curiosity, what is the largest value motor run cap you are using? I like the look of the ones you have and am looking for something at least 100uF. So... are you still accepting jobs? I've got a rebuild that could use your touch.

What is it? I've done some looking around recently and have been considering the Aliph Jawbone.

Excellent purchases.

Holy shit man! I'm glad you are OK. My fingers are crossed for a speedy recovery.

Ok, so even after I originally said it was stupid, I've been considering the Air recently. I was looking on the Apple Store, and Time Capsule sounds cool, and as I understand it, is also a wireless router? And it has a USB port? It says on their website that you can hookup a USB printer to it. What about a usb optical drive? If you can hook up a USB optical drive, is anyone aware of any wireless printers? If you can't, are there wireless or bluetooth optical drives? If I switch to the Air, I'll be getting rid of my desktop, so this is important. Anyone have experience with bluetooth keyboards and mice? Oh, and can you also partition part of the Time Capsule as an external HDD, or is it only good for saving all the system backups?

No idea, I've only heard this pair modded. Though, I don't remember the highs being harsh on non-APS recabled RS-1's in my rig when I heard them at meets. Maybe Jack can chime in.

Hmmm... I don't know my pads, but just figured that having the drivers farther from your ears would help. Well, it's only with a couple tracks so far, so I think I can live with it.

Well, no sooner had I written that, I changed CD's and threw on Ratatat. The highs are a little bright. Do they get tamed a bit with the bowls when compared to the flats?

My APS RS-1's don't sound harsh or shrill at all in my rig. I'm really sensitive to that too and listen quite loud, so I would definitely notice it.

About 10 times as much I would expect, 470uF should do it. I still don't think my RS-1's sound terrible on my amp though.

Exactly. They are better, but not that much better... and besides, I think I prefer the RS-1's personally since they are more different than the HP-1's when compared to my K340's. Gives me a larger range of music that I am happy listening to on my rig.

And with balanced amps that value doubles, right? It's weird, my amp only has four 50 microfarad caps [one for each channel], and it sounds great with the K340s. Even with the Grado RS-1's it sounds very good, though the bass could use being tightened up a bit. That might just be the flat pads I am using now though. I need to get a pair of bowls and do a comparison.

If it wasn't sale pending, I'd tap that. Not a transport!?!? Hmmm, you got me then.

Happy Birthday Guys!!!

Not an energy drink, but I can't get enough of that Aloe stuff.

That soon might be a little dodgy... I get my new apartment on the 13th of May, though the actual move date will likely be the 19th. Then I'm off to CanJam May 2nd - 5th.

JB - That was hilarious! Give me time, I get moved into the new place on April 19th.

Yeah, I basically just got a pair because everyone else here had one. I've actually never been to PEI, so that might be fun. Let me know if you cook something up.

Agreed. I can't wait to compare our pairs Jamie. Will be interesting to see if we hear a difference.

If I ever make the motions of getting back into programming, please shoot me.

I'm with aerius, though I think the SA5000 is much worse than the DT880.
