aerius

This is clearly a euphemism for something, though I'm not sure what that something is...

In this topic, we talk about lesbians.

Unfortunately not, it's closer to golden brown than dark red, and the cable "Y" looks pretty shady. Buh??

Own them. 5 years after hearing them for the first time (thanks Biggie) and I finally decided to buy them.

Remember, she lives in Florida, everyone in Florida is weird.

As of 3 hours ago; RS-1 --->K340 --->SR225 --->Senn 580 --->Senn 495 RS-1 with vinyl is fucking awesome beyond fucking awesome. There are no words to express the sheer fucking awesomeness.

For me it's not the Grado forwardness which makes them great for metal, it's the Grado tone, they just get crunchy electric guitars & pounding drums right in a way which I haven't heard in any other headphone.

As I suspected, it's actually better than quite a few of the reviews from those who have heard the Denons. It's also about as honest and fair as my Sennheiser Orpheus review on April Fools day a few years back.

If you've noticed, it's a brilliant parody of the Stereophile Recommended Components List. The non-parody evaluation can be found here.

Comedy gold!

Talk about half-ass assembly procedures. The sad part is you could probably write a better and more accurate review than some of the people who actually own them.

This greatly confuses and upsets aerius' worldview on audio. aerius will have to go meditate and devote much thought to this latest development, and he can't shake the feeling that he's going delusional and seeing things.

I still say the best solution is to have 2 headphones. There are some things which my K340 can't quite do, which is why I have the Grado 225. If I'm going to have a Slayer-fest, I'm reaching for the Grados.

I have a Sony Discman and a Sony Walkman, surprisingly, both of them still work.

I believe they're called passive-aggressive shitheads. I've long given up trying to have useful discussions with them on the 'net as it's practically impossible. I find it's far more productive for me to just abuse the whiny little shits, afterall, I might as well perscute them if they automatically presume that everyone who doesn't get in line for the circle-jerk is persecuting them.

It's possible, but it takes a hell of a lot more than the markl mods, which is just sticking a sponge in it and filling out the earpads. You're going to have to use blu-tack or plumber's putty, felt pads, cotton stuffing, and possibly make physical alterations to the headphone housings or even the driver itself. Markl claims the following: IMO, they're all plausible except for the one I bolded. From my experience with my K340's, sponge doesn't have significant vibration damping properties and I very much doubt it's going to remove a bunch of vibration from the headphone. The only way I can think of it working is that the D5000 rattles like a sumbitch due to loose assembly, and the sponge provides enough spring tension to keep things from moving.

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate Sovkiller any more than I already did. I was wrong. I hope the useless shitbag gets a one way trip to the Hotel Gitmo for some daily waterboarding sessions.

Linked from here Excerpt:

Nope. In the Artemis SP-1, the 6N1P is the input tube, the EL34 is the driver. In the Wavelength, the input/driver tube is a 6C45P, which is similar to a Western Electric 437A. The Coincident uses a 6EM7 which is a dissimilar dual triode, one section is a low power medium-high gain triode and is used as the input, the other section is similar to a 6BX7 and gets used as the driver for the 300B.

Once upon a time, I thought the Senn 580 was a totally amazing sounding headphone. Then I heard an RS-1, and later on a Stax setup, and came to realize that the 580 isn't really all that great. Once upon a time I though B&W's were great speakers, then I heard Living Voice Avatars and Quad ESL's, and came to see that B&W's aren't all they're cracked up to be. Same thing with amps, I used to think Carys were really good, then I heard the stuff from Wavelength, Coincident, and most recently, Artemis Labs, and now I know where the Cary stands in the big picture. Every time I hear something better, the scale gets recalibrated and everything below the new best gets moved down. 5-6 years and half a dozen amps ago and the 300SEI might've been a 9.5/10, now it's been dropped to maybe a 4/10. I've been extremely fortunate to have heard all the great gear I have in the last 5 years or so. Speaking of which, I'm bugging one of the local dealers to bring in a DP-2, Class A push-pull 2A3's with transformer phase splitting.

Sorry, but it does. I've heard the 300SEI and it sounds like poo, very syrupy, mushy, slow, overly warm, and lacking in resolution. If that's the kind of tube sound someone likes, then fine, he can say that Carys sound good. Me? I've grown to hate that sound, so Carys and amps that sound like'em sound bad to me.

Where is the real postjack, and what have you done with him?

Pretty much all of them, once you hear the Wavelength Audio and Artemis Labs 300B's.

You mean they're not the same bunny? Damnit, why does TV keep lying to me like this?

Definitely not the bunny. Unless those Cadbury commercials are lying to me, the Easter Bunny just sits around and lays eggs.
