I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the phono stages with balanced outputs just invert the phase at the end to generate them. I'd do some research to ensure the phono stage is actually balanced before buying.

Turntables usually put out balanced signals, but AFAIK phono stages are usually not balanced. There are certainly balanced phono stage designs out there though. If I ever setup a vinyl rig, I will definately be looking at one. You are right though, this hasn't been talked about much and I can't think of anyone off hand who has a balanced vinyl rig.

When typing with two thumbs I find that I frequently make mistakes. Ironic that I should make one while correcting someone else.

Lol, stupid Blackberry.

[At least not at the end]

Ok, I'm with Hydrocity, that's the perfect reaction to 207 million. ...Oh, and herion doesn't have an E.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is the first thing I'd do... then I would probably fill up a gym bag and run.

How the fuck did my spare bedroom get on the internets?!?!

That was a great amp with the HD650's, but it sounded kinda weird with my K340's. Still, if Blackie can make a custom amp for the L3000, I think that jpak would be very happy.

You misunderstand, by 'this' I mean Trose49's reception here. I was not saying that head-case is payback for head-fi...

Agreed. No, I don't believe that you do. There are those that are guilty of this however. If you thin that is what is happening here you are mistaken. Like it or not, this forum and the other one are linked. This has been payback for him being a complete idiot over there, and it has been a long time coming. The fact that nobody is allowed to raise their voice on Head-Fi means it is all coming out now with a certain fierceness.

Great analogy.

This was what he quoted: "I tend to think this place, at times, resembles a school yard and there are one or two that play the part of the little punk that stands behind the big bully and takes his shots or maybe a better descripion would be that they act like little girls that act tough because they are sitting behind their computers and feel safe." Nothing about calling people names because you can. He explained what he meant in a later post if you don't follow. I wouldn't take this personally as I don't believe the redirect of your comment was being directed squarely [or at least solely] at you. If you are trying to tell me that, as a moderator on head-fi, you haven't seen any petty/bitchy behavior on the part of certain mods/admins/owners, I think you might need to open your eyes.

I think he was getting at the fact that your paragraph could just as easily, and perhaps more legitimately, be applied to how things are run on Head-Fi.

Yeah, they are my favourite budget phone. I was quite happy with them before the K340's came.

I thought he just meant universally agreed upon as the best player by those at this gathering. Nice impressions Eaphan, too bad they are all out of my price range.

My guess is that he is a fake, but who knows.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Well, I mainly just mean relative to aerius'. He listens extremely quietly... while I tend to listen at what others would term very loud. Not sure of the exact level though as I don't have a SPL meter.

I don't think so based on his PMs... unless this is just someone else faking being trose, which is quite possible.

Anyone else receiving PM's from trose?

Yeah, pretty much. Hang on, I'll get your mommy for you... oh wait, she's busy.

Yeah, but you'd die if you listened at my levels...

So if you listen to yo shit LOUD like me and post is OK?!
