Nobody takes the internet as seriously as we do and definitely not "old" Europe. I think the the phone companies are fast approaching 99% 3G coverage of the island and some 15-20km out to sea, like we need to check the email on top of a glacier or out on sea . Alex has been posting on the APL forum though so he might be doing it telepathically...
The forks (which hold the earpieces to on the arc) break a lot on the Lambdas and so to the arcs so just don't sit on them. The drivers are pretty robust and dust is not much of an issue but some form of a dust cover is a good idea.
Great impressions but plug those ports and the bass is even better and the midrange is the best you can get with no "shout" on the vocals... There is no other headphone I would rather use for rock though some of the classic 60's stuff sounds sublime on the SR-3/SRA-3S combo.
I think that the D5000 mod only sounds like the R10 in markl's own idiotic mind. The fact that he thinks Rudi's amps are good speaks volumes...
You can force them to squeal like every other ESP but it's not normal.
The fart is a pretty silly name for it...
Rikens rule but I wish that there were two crowns on those chips...
Thanks, these old, cheap Canon's are pretty good and this one is heavy enough to be stable in my hands. I'm way too lazy to use a tripod...
It's not in the same league... not even close. It lacks the organic flow and amazing detail retrieval of the APL unit and same goes for bass and treble extension. Considering the price difference I don't mind and a better comparison would be between the DAS-R1 and the AudioZone NOS DAC I have in my computer rig. I don't have a good transport so that comparison will have to wait for a better time.
