Ok, so if I get the W2002, will my GF's sister then agree to do 3-somes with my GF & I?

What's the best headphone for picking up chicks?

I can't speak for others, but for me it's because I use my head a lot.

Have you ever wanted to go up to some person and ask him a totally random question just to see how he'd react? I admit that I sometimes want to do that at my Customs job, after asking the standard "where you been, got anything to declare?" stuff I feel like saying something really random and weird just for the hell of it. Questions like "what's the flaccid to errect size ratio of your penis?" or "did you know that an iPod will fit up your vagina?" So what are the random questions you feel like asking people?

You can always count on Biggie's love of Sonys.

The Head-fi rules are quite simple: If they like you, you can do whatever the fuck you want, and the mods will even run interference and make excuses for you. If they don't like you, they'll make some shit up and ban you for it.

Spreading my knowledge & experience, contributing towards productive discussion, yada yada yada.

I did some thinking the other day and it occured to me that the best Grado tube amps I've heard to date were all transformer output. The PPX3 Slam I heard, while nice, doesn't have the bottom end control and slam that Biggie's tube amp and mine have. Both our amps are transformer output push-pull amps, his uses triode-connected EL34's and mine uses 6BX7's at the moment, loads of power and control for Grados. Given the low impedance of Grados, I think a transformer output would be the way to go.

I'm in therapy. The shrink told me I needed to get in touch with my inner child.

Vote now in the penultimate bad taste poll!

Alright, it's time for the definitive question. Vote now!

Probably one the best deals in audio right now, at least as far as mark-up is concerned. KG noted in a previous thread that there's something like $600 in transformers alone, nevermind the rest of the stuff in there. The only negative I see is that I don't like 6DJ8's.

Well whoever it is I think we should give him a gay custom title for shits & giggles.

It's like The Matrix, only a million times dumber.

Of course not. Tuberoller doesn't exist.

I'm not Billy, but I also have a question for you. Does your penis tingle when you sneeze?

A heathen! Burn him!!

Since you mention that you want a pre-amp out to drive power amps for the K1000, there might actually be another way to do this. I believe 5687 just got his transformer output Singlepower built up, this would allow a low impedance output tap for driving Grados and a medium to high impedance output tap to provide the higher voltage swings required for the K1000. It should be possible since my own DIY amp which uses output transformers and 6SN/BL/BX7 output tubes can drive the K1000 pretty well. I tried out the K1000 on my amp at a meet and I was quite happy with the sound.

I am, but the K340 is not current production and has been discontinued for ages. Tube amp's done, but I recently thought up a new idea that I'm building. I first heard the RS-1 about half a year or so after I got my Senn 580's. They made the Senns sound like a broken piece of crap. I've since heard the RS-1 quite a few times and the first impressions continue to hold up. If I didn't have a K340 and a Grado 225, I'd likely have an RS-1 by now.

Appealing to the "neutral hi-fi" crowd.

Out of all the current production headphones I've heard so far, the RS-1 is still my favourite. Senns, meh, AKG's, snore, Beyers, fucking painful treble, Sony, see Beyer, Stax, nice but not really my thing, Grado, that's where the music's at. IMO, most other headphones play hi-fi, Grados play music, and the RS-1 to me is still the best current production Grado.

Proving once and for all the superioirity of easy clean pleather earpads.

I haven't, but I know someone who has. She had the 'phones playing some bass-heavy beats and then put'em up against her clit.
