Am I the only one that hasn't heard of this thing? Looks cool though.

Awesome shirt.

Well, someone has to... I dislike mobs. I have a theory. You Yankees aren't allowed to swear in movies or on TV most of the time and as everyone knows people want what they can't have. In Canada we aren't as restricted and as a result we don't feel the need to overdo it when we get the chance. It's sort of like underage drinking. Kids don't have drinking problems [or at least not as much] in France because you can drink as soon as you have money and know how to open the door to the bar. They don't grow up with alcohol on a pedestal like people do in North America. Or maybe I just don't see the need to act all tough online just because I can. I treat people with respect in real life and on the Internet until they do something that causes me to loose my respect for them. And though Sov might have made some mistakes and misunderstood some things here, he has done nothing to deserve all the grief he has been getting. Please don't think that I am offended by swearing... it's not that... it is just irritating. Pretty much on par with something like this: "You're, like, so totally out of nail polish? What-EVER!" Oh, and we smoke pot and eat bacon, get it right. We also have trees up here.

Ok, not following the non english side of the discussion... nice porn eric. Everyone needs to take a step back here. Sov is finally coming around, but you are still bludgeoning him to death. So what if he doesn't like swearing? Personally I find it a little childish as well... you are supposed to use swearing to FUCKING emphasize things. Not every other word.

Though as a Canadian, I do tend to swear more than your average english speaker, I tend to agree with you on this. I think a lot of people on here are just reveling in the fact that they are not being sensored and are becoming drunk with power.

Yeah, I wasn't being to serious with that comment... hence the smiley.

That is absolute gold. I think I might have a new favourite saying.

Hmmm, I think we need to get a built in spellchecker because MJG's posts are driving me fucking nuts. Sov - Nobody means you harm here... except maybe aerius ... so just relax, take a deep breath and pretend that little drama didn't happen.

Is it a hybrid? Are those mosfets that are attached to the side heatsinks?

The leatherheads have grado-esque bass impact? I look forward to hearing them at the national meet.

I can't wait to compare mine to yours again. I'm not sure if it is burn-in or the elastic readjustment that I did, but these things have BASS now.

I would open it up and make sure it is firmly seated in there... I dont think my LED's move, though I will double check when I get home. you just need to remove the philips screws on the bottom and rear plate and it just slides out.

Well, I haven't heard the K701 yet, but I do know that I prefer the K340 to the K1000. They both do things that the other can't, but in the end I like the things that the K340 does better. Still, if my resources were unlimited I would definately own a pair of K1000's. Great headphones.

I've got no bass complaints over here... except in the area of impact my K340's beat my HF-1's in every way. And nothing does bass impact like a Grado.

They aren't in the signal path on the headphone output... but we're pretty sure they are on the XLR output. If they aren't, I would be interested in knowing how we are getting amplification. There are only two transistors in that area of the board and they are used for the relay's from what we could see.

Welcome.

I'll post some close up pictures that I took of the innards of the Lavry tonight. The balanced outs are not discrete... they use OPA275's. It is also not balanced straight from the DAC, as the volume control is definately not balanced and affects the XLR outs. That said, they sound amazing, so regardless of all our audiophile notions Dan Lavry has worked some magic here.

Get those K340's modded buddy, they sound amazing.

Never had a problem buying blind so far... then again, I can see where I would have had a problem [sA5000, DAC1]. So I think it has been more luck at this point.

Still, I am glad that I got my K340's terminated with male XLRs... as I will be pluging them into a SDS-XLR at the national meet.

If we do go with little child forums for every manufacturer, I'm going to have to start making something... I think I could whip up some rainbow foil or something of that magnitude. Do they get to name their forums too? Hmmm, Philo's Playhouse... has a nice ring to it.

LOL, that episode was hilarious... especially the 'dolphinoplasty'

Does Merton still post on Headwize? He did back when I was there... before I found Head-Fi.

Oh god... someone invite Merton. I'm not gonna do it, but that would be a riot. He might be the first banned headcase.

Where's the impressions? Pics? What do you have to compare to it?
