Wow. So many colors in that ad. eyes/goggles/nothing.

Is that a cooked human liver between those buns?

So you made me google it then. I see. Here is the text @ vibram:

Yes, but if you drink too much with a birthday like this, you realize that everyone waits for the exact second your birthday is over, too... Happy Birthday, Reks. Some of the most powerful people in the world are Capricorns (us included!) bh:o

Their website is down now, but stay tuned. Some serious beautiful (and huge) amps. They sound about as amazing as they look.

Completely different tought. (and yes, it was good for me) So I was going to get into shpeakers a few years back. And it was a few years before the whole headphone thing which I really enjoy. I ended up talking with Jeff Joseph (speaker designer) and listened to one of his conversations with an audio engineer that he knew well. I was lost in the first 30 seconds.

WOW, the photo that has the screwdriver intact!!!!!! I never thought I'd see it again! They are beautiful. Wildly, unconventionally sexy. Like that foreign gal at work...with the tight skirt and the tossed hair. ooh la la. You can't stop looking at her, no? Maybe a quick caffe, lunch, maybe she'll talk with that outrageous accent. CANT STOP LOOKING.

Sweet. Thanks, y'all

Speaking of the Mogami, I see that Markertek has it by the foot. Is that where everyone gets it or is there a better place to buy? I just ordered some Neutrik XLRs from Mouser to fill out a smaller order and figured I'd start on a pair of balanced cables for the home rig.

Oh , yeah. The dealer is a cool guy. We had the last Seattle Head Fi meet there and he was happy to see someone come back to purchase some shtuff. (Resolution audio:video in Seattle).

It was weird to slide the balance control and expect the sound to go the same way. Confusing. And I wasn't even drinking. much. There was an odd glop of glue holding the driver in. I didn't want to cut it off for fear or ripping a new one in the driver itself. Still, it felt a bit funny on my earlobe. But I suppose someone will say, "that's normal". Oh well. Another pair on the way. And if this pair is wrong, backwards, wonky or weird, at least I'll know what to do: post here first!

oops. Damn. Hell yeah it would have been easier. I stared at them for a while before making the drive back, wondering if there could have been a way. Next time for sure!

btw, I totally don't get "yeah dude, like totally it was real!" doesn't make the "burn-in" so, so..ehm...totally...

Well, we'll have to get smeggy to wear a hat...so the good doc can focus on the problem at hand...

Really? wtf

Yup. Right outtta the box. WTF? I was prepared to jump into a pair of SR-325i's, but after listening to them compared to the RS-2, I opted to upgrade. The RS-2 just sounded smoother and much more musical and relaxed. The demo pair was nice with not alot of hours, so I knew the sound would only get better. I paid my bill and brought home a sealed box. Hoo-yeah! After an hour, I heard the first stage of break in pass by...waitaminute....really? Yes, the sound had a very obvious change and I had to review the last few tunes to really believe it. Cool. Then I started listening more critically. It was then that I started fiddling with the balance. I slid the balance control to the right and...the sound went left. Huh? I tried in the opposite direction and found the same..opposite..ah hell, you know what I mean. I ended up bringing a different head amp downstairs to the big rig and connecting directly to my cd player. (No, neither of me headamps are incorrect, nor are my HD600s.) Yup. Left=right and right=left. I'm sure this has happened before, but I just didn't like it. The dealer I bought them from is 25 miles away (one way) so two trips in one weekend was pretty costly, not to mention the irritation of passing Safeco Field during a Mariners game (twice), and Seattle Center during "The Bite of Seattle" (twice). Ouch. I'm honestly not sure what I'll do when the dealer gets a few new pairs in. While I really liked the sound, what a hassle for new gear. Nothing more here than an odd complaint. Jump in, spam me, whatever.

So I'm only about two weeks late, but add IC + 1 set. Blame Trevor for my inability to keep up.

That's what I meant and you know it!

"Greatly improved transient power response, bass impact, and definition." I had a similar one of these in a car audio install years ago (with no digital readout). The idea is this: your car battery is in the front of the car, and your three amps are in the back. When you system is turned up, it can suck power more quickly than the battery can charge up the line. With a large capacitor working as a small fast-acting battery near the amps, you get power more quickly. Did I notice a difference? Actually, I did. Although I couldn't describe it now...

OMG. The 681. A close friend that my mother worked with was a very important person in my musical growth. He's the one who would send home lists of albums that I just had to buy. I was 15. Aja. Larry Carlton. Pat Metheney. Then, because he had purchased some new gear, he gave me his 681. I dropped it onto my Garrard TT and was blown away. Compared to what I had, it was miraculous. Yes, the seeds of audiophilia had been scattered in my brain. Thanks, Doug, wherever you are! Upstateguy: there are still ots of places that sell replacement tips if you need them. I think NeedleDoctor has 'em. Enjoy!

This rocks. Great work. I was a little surprised when my userid wasn't working, but I fingered it out. By the way, the forum is pretty goddamned fast now. What a welcome advantage. Thanks for making it work so well.

Found a few articles out on enjoythemusic. Might be worth mining at that site........ http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/archives/sound_practices/

I was thinking that same thing. I think it would really make a difference with this unit.

I just took a look at the ram upgrades for that unit. That's a serious amount of work for the money! They must work faster than me. The mods definitely seem to attempt to get the unit closer to "neutral" than anything else. But keep in mind that one man's neutral might be totally different on a different system. I think a majority of the mods could be left in place, and working with output caps might be able to tame some of what you are hearing (in spite of what they say are "the best" caps). Dunno. Might be worthy to bring a portion of this discussion into another area of the forum to pick some brains. Okay, back to work for me!
