Metalicized....plasticized. What's the difference....lmao. HS

The Ether stats must have improved A LOT since I last listened to them to be worth the climb. The good thing is that you and anyone else in the room gets to enjoy your music...at about the same volume you do. HS

The Mr. Speakers are loud as hell if you're sitting next to someone listening to them. I've never heard anything nearly that loud before...might as well have a radio in the room. Hopefully they've improved their efficiency and the sound signature. I couldn't believe how high I had to crank my KGSSHV Carbon (450v) to get them to make a good bit of sound. In a way it was damn impressive how inefficient the beta's I listened to were... HS

Just watched the video. That man must be hi.... HS

RIP, Gentlemen....and thank you for making things more fun and better. HS

Twisted and dark enough to keep it interesting. Hopefully the ongoing story line is solid. Quite the cast. HS

It's a shame that so often the response is some unobtainium pair of cans that are not only are pricey but would prove difficult to service should a problem arise. Not going down that path anymore. I'll stick with very good at the risk of missing out on someone else's nirvana. 007A's out of a Carbon, HD650's out of a Headamp GS-1 dynalo+, and my TH900's out of a Woo WA7 w/ some upgraded tubes all fed by an Ygg. Nothing crazy but each one makes me smile and 99% is good enough. Must be strong... I'll save the self-flagellation for my race car...LOL HS

Wow...that's a lot to process. Rough year in the way of losses. Godspeed, Jose, Arnold and Radio... HS

RIP Sushi. Clearly a good life to get to enjoy that long a run! HS

RIP, John... HS

RIP, Gene. You will be missed and remembered, sir... HS

That's a major loss! RIP, Mr. Baker. You did much great work. Godspeed... HS

That's a major loss! RIP, Mr. Baker. You did much great work. Godspeed... HS

Sorry to see this, Dave. Best of luck with the repair. HS

That's sad as can be. I damn near wore out my copy of 3 Feet HIgh and Rising... HS

Woot!!! HS

The GS-1 with the dynalo+ boards upgrade does great with the HD650's. I'm curious about this dynahi but I need it about as much as I need another car... The price point sure does look sexy for what it appears to be.... HS

any pics of these beasts in the wild? HS

My personal experience is that the ygg does a very nice job, and more importantly I get far more effect swapping transducers and amplifiers if I am chasing improvement and/or change. Just my two bits. HS

Pure sexy, Kerry! Please keep the pics coming HS

Wow...that's a loss! One heck of a run, though....91 is impressive. RIP, Mr. Davis. HS

whoops....LOL. What a fail and yet they manage to sell many. I enjoyed my ESP950 while I owned it, but it just didn't scale enough for me once I tried it on the KGST and I needed more down low. I do agree it's good value for money compared to many other options out there. HS

Geoff, Another stunning build. Kudos! Sam

I've been using a Feather AS-D2 razor for a couple of years now. Exceptional build quality typical of proper Japanese work. Nice weight. Tested several blade brands and am hooked on the Feather platinums. Preshave oil is a must for me. The Art of Shaving oil is too heavy and has a bit of a clove smell for those that are sensitive to scents. Lather & Wood's unscented pre-shave oil is far better and more practical, especially with the mister on the bottle. I am a big fan of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Jermyn Street Collection for Sensitive Skin. I started using this a month or so ago and was shocked how good it is, especially for the price. I don't even bother with the badger brush anymore. https://www.amazon.com/Cremo-Astonishingly-Superior-Shave-Cream/dp/B009WQH8SA/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1469507784&sr=1-1&keywords=cremo+shave+cream It's a game changer. Their moisturizer is good, but not nearly as good as the shave cream. Alum block is a nice touch after a shave. I very much like this Neutrogena product for a post shave moisturizer. This is for a 3-pack. Note it has a bit of menthol. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JOLMTMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 HS

I hope they are far better than their e-stats which did nothing for me out of my KGSHHV Carbon. They were also really loud for anyone sitting nearby. Do the air flows leak sound more so than the average open pair of headphones? HS
