You must listen very quietly if you don't require any amplification... But seriously... if you aren't using an external amplifier woudln't a 1/8" jack make more sense?

They would be easy enough to make... interesting proposition. Well, I already said no to aerius about the Audio Circle Meet since I had plans with the Wife. [ikea, getting some furniture] However, it looks like her parents are going with her, so I might be able to get out of it. And Mark offered me a drive... so I'm lazy, sue me. Not sure if my amp will be able to make it though as Peter has yet to deliver it. He is apparently dropping it off this morning to Renato [who can then give it to me tonight or tomorrow]... but I'm not holding my breath.

If you go Matt, let me know... maybe we can go together.

Sounds like fun... worried that my cats might make a home inside them though.

How ginormous are we talking here?

Oh, I'm sure he was sent something as well. I don't think that he works for them and gets regular kickbacks or anything of that nature though. Earl - I understand how you are reading that, but you have to understand that the person writing it has a pretty basic grasp of English. You also have to understand that Snowy, a salesman, is trying to say that Art is their tech support over here to facilitate making a sale with a customer that is perhaps worried about a lack of warranty.

Art doesn't work for Cattylink... he helps them by repairing faulty units. I fail to see how that makes him a member of the trade.

I agree pabbi... I've never had a problem with Art's fanboy-ism. What bothers me about him is how he is so rigid in his beliefs. Like when the SA5000 was the best headphone ever, and now the K701 is... and how you NEED to have a solid state pre amp and a tubed power amp for ultimate fidelity. Stuff like that.

Sounds like a plan... I think I will wait a bit until I have some cash. Just bought the wife an iMac and am a little broke at the moment.

I'd rather go to Wayne's house... never been to the Caymans anyways.

Is Lowther a driver maker, speaker maker or both? I'd like to DIY the enclosures if at all possible... should allow me to actually afford them as well. I doubt that I could front up the cash for most of what 'My Kind of Music' sells.

Definately Ontario... everyone knows that my meets are the best.

Hey... Art is a Member of the Trade on head-fi now! When did that happen?

Wow, I'm so jealous. Nice HP1000's!

I'd love to hear more about the new full range drivers. Been toying with the idea of building some horn loaded speakers and it would be neat to use a cicada or equivalent instead of the standard fostex.

Fair enough... wouldn't be the first time something came across the wrong way on a forum. Yeah, it was quite a while ago. I had actually sold my original E5, so it worked out pretty well.

You are not wrong in your assumption, but I don't feel I have anything to be guilty about. I never shilled a product for Cattylink and did not ask for anything in return for my honest positive opinions which I gave on the Eastsound CD-E5. The fact that my threads on head-fi garnered some interest and increased sales for Cattylink is great for them... but that was not my intent. Since I had dealt with them in the past, they had my address. I was quite surprised when I received the package as I had tried to dissuade them when they hinted at the gift originally. If it makes you feel better, I've never won a significant amount of money on a lottery and have been cheated out of more money than this CD player is worth. Maybe it's a karma thing... Regardless, I've got zero guilt.

Who's guilty?

Did swt61 say that the parts came in for Redleader?

I would agree that the K340's are a bit brighter than the Senns, but that is a good thing in my mind. As for them sounding similar... I just don't see it. Tried to expand in more detail, but after deleting my sentence ~10 times in a row, I think I'll have to give up for now. I feel like crap today.

Really? I've heard them out of a PPX3 SLAM and thought that it was a pretty decent match. Seemed to be able to drive them with authority and there was no lacking in bass definition.

There is plenty to like as well. Isolation is a huge thing depending on the circumstances. I am in a similar situation to you I think... which is why I latched on so hard when I finally found a closed headphone that could compete with the big boys.

Haven't heard the leatherheads yet, and the R10's didn't really do it for me. K340's without a doubt are the best closed headphones I have heard. I would have to agree with Biggie on the CD3K's.
