spritzer

No worry's, he easily beet me too. My strengths are more in picking drunk people up and carry them to where ever they need to me... Say hi to the family from the European's at CJ and my guess is that those beers must have cost a fortune in downtown London...

I'm up too since it is unnatural for me to sleep more then 5 hours at a time. ;p

Sitting in our room with Doug after trying to put MPI to bed. Might join you Dinny...

Red bar? Now?

I aim to please.

Douglas is in charge of the pix and it is way too early for all that. Woot, we have to meet up!

Lobby bar? I'm going to take a walk around and might just swing by there.

What really pissed them off was when I started on the decorative desert pieces...

Yeah, they have SR-007 pads. I won a NOS set of SR-Omega pads which Larry intended to use on this set.

Lunch was brilliant!!!

I can officially class this as a work trip since I just had some Dunkin Donuts. Research and all that...

Yeah, that's messed up.

I thought all of these chargers were 100-240V, mine certainly are. Now finding good adapters, that's the problem for me. Btw. Free wifi at Logan FTMFW!!

Blah. I may be sitting here, bored out of my mind, in a lounge at Logan but I'm not going to start arguing with my elephant friend... That said,the Mk1 vs. Mk2 debate has been all but settled by now.

I'm sitting here at 4am and I can't sleep. Clearly still on Icelandic time and on top of that my usually fucked up schedule. American TV is funny though... You will soon enough...

It's nice and cool here in Boston and the viking appreciates anything close to 10

Grado drivers aren't dipoles.

Sorry old bean, Samsung mobile here...

I must work on it then...

Place a bit of tape on the back of the housing and hear the difference.

I'm sitting here at the Comfort Inn in Boston. My phone doesn't appear to be working correctly...

My guess is that this has nothing to do with the system being colored. Rather impedance matching, damping factor etc. is the key here.

Well a German Stax engineer would never even have heard about the Airbow as they aren't Stax and not sold outside of Japan. For those of us that have compared a stock 404 against a SR-SC1 side by side, both using the same pads, the difference is quite clear.

Paging Dr. Gilmore, dr. Gilmore to the Stax thread!!! I say the whole cryo BS is just that, BS and the phones are just custom made for Airbow. Subtle changes to the mylar treatment could account for the changes in sound signature. The new SR-404 earpads are all but identical to the LE pads in shape so that is clearly not the issue

I say the SR-SC1 has drivers which aren't made the same way as other SR-404 units. These drivers then found their way into the 404LE. The 253 is the same amp as the stock unit but it might have higher rated parts plus the dedicated PSU so it will have more power.
