I listen to mostly rock and bop and I'm engaged to my electrostat system
I'm dating one and checking out her sister ;-)

I fail to see the point here as silicon will last for decades. I have silicon baking mats in my bakery that are specc'd to last 1000 trips to the oven at 300
-
That's not something that will last 30 years. Felt might be ideal as it can let through air but it won't do it easily. It will be the point of least resistance though so there would be minimal noise.
Stax had no trouble having SR-003/001 come with silicon fittings, hah.
-
They added the port to remove the fart problem and brought along with it no deep bass and a large midbass hump. I'm sure that some compromise could be found through damping where the ear chamber can breath but it doesn't kill the bass.
Couldn't this be done with some kind of a very sensitive valve? Granted that things might get too fragile at that rate.
-
Stello DACs use discrete output stage, class A. I am sure there are ways to improve upon that, including going tube, but that would be outside of what the tiny E-MU 0404 usb could support...
does the idea of plastic enclosure and tubes make anyone here twitch also?
-
If you don't see that I'm trying to help you I guess I'll stop trying. Continue your worthless posting at will.
Okay, why the grudge guy? Next time I'll post fully what I want to say, but do you have to really follow me with a post of almost identical quality?
-
Perhaps you should have completed the statement then and not assumed that everyone knew exactly what you were talking about? And I didn't say anything about the two products I was comparing sounding the same either.
Well then we are both making pointless statements, fun.
-
I've heard them with an M^3 configured very close to my old one, still had that upper midrange harshness that made them sound like crap.
The M^3 is a great amp, I doubt it was under driving them.
Well then I am glad to have my ears xD
-
I've heard them with very good amps and sources.
And I used Larocco PRII and the Micro DAC...why did I not have the issue
I tried a number of amplifiers at meets. Something like a Millet Hybrid or M^3 - no harshness. Plug it into a Gilmore design - harshness is only the beginning of what sounded wrong.
-
A single chip does not a product make. My Wadia uses the lowly BUF634 on its outputs so by your logic it's the same as something like a PIMETA which uses the same chip.
I did not say anything about them sounding the same. If you want to talk implied - well the implication was that Peychev mods would probably take the E-MU in the same direction as Stello went already.
Oh, and all the DACs using that particular chip I heard sound alot alike (main difference seems to be accounted entirely by output stages, better DACs just sound cleaner), wonder if that is a coincidence...
-
The W5000 doesn't sound remotely like a K1000 though
\Harsh upper midrange and odd tonality is something the K1000 doesn't have.
You are talking about poorly driven W5000. It can be just fine.
Oh, and metallic highs is something I hear often about poorly driven K1ks xD
-
Yeah I've been thinking about having it modded for some time. Considering it uses the 24 bit version of the DAC chip Alex Peychev likes so much I was going to buy one and have it shipped to him to look at for mods, but I've been lazy about it.
Meh, you know what chips entire line of Stello products uses? ^.^
-
Livewires - they are pointless to steal, they fit nicely, and they sound fine unamped.
-
ATH-W series and ATH-A series do not have much to do with each other in terms of tonality, careful...
-
Really?!?!?
I have no idea what this means, when contrasted with the power specifications.
You can think of it comfortably as they took some optimal impedance, feed 1 watt into it, measured the frequency response...
Majority of the headphone amplifiers have the voltage swing similar to that of a SET speaker amp. The main concern is that they are not ready for the current draw needed by speakers, and the main distortion issues occur when using larger and larger amounts of power (which are still small with headphones). Hence, 1W is a reasonable max (you would fry you ears driving 1 watt into HD600 for example, and the ATH-W5000 has 2W power rating, sufficient to make them louder than laptop speakers) to show THD and frequency response.
-
ATH-W5000 anyone ?! My god. Its written all over OP. I would not say its perfectly like K1000, but it is bass-light, airy, closed, very clean.
-
You bought the back half of a couch?!?!? Awesome!!!1!
Damnit, now I cannot keep a straight face, seeing how I thought the same exact thing...

M-Audio Studio Pro 3 goes for $100 on zzounds.com ...

... He also mentions later that vinyl is "making a comebacK". What kind of useless crap is that? What person who enjoys music doesn't already know that? ...
Not everyone needs purity to enjoy music...

i think i've finally gotten accustomed to the new pace here, although that is probably because i'm on thanksgiving break right now
I rely on 'show new replies to your posts'... sure, qutie a bit of new posts, but at least I don't have to go through every single thread.

That only occurs when you try and listen to it. Its quite reserved when you don't take it out of the box, nor put it on top of expensive furniture.

I meant the new one. I'm familiar with his older material, and would agree with your assessment.
Oh hm...ya I'll get around to that sometime too...

In that spirit - there is Dynaudio's MC15, media-oriented desktop monitor. ~1200 bucks for active pair.
Another option: JBL LSR4328p, which has room correction that helps out with the midbass hump that
results from poor room acoustics.
