DT831 is the headphone I use with my Radii HAP-02.

I've actually recently settled on a best headphone/best amp pairs of my collection: DT770/600 is the best headphone for my Radii HAP-03 I been using my DT770/250 with my Singlepower Supra/SDS/WE at home, and it's a veryfine match (but so is the HP-2) The DT770/250 also goes well with the Wheatfield HA-2. I forget what headphone I have been using with my Radii HAP-02 at work, it's another Beyer. What can I say? I'm a Beyer nut. Another couple of synergistic combinations comes from the Hirsch collection: He used to have a pair of non-woodied CD3000's that he ran from an old X-CANS (modded -- caps, and possibly op-amps) that was a wonderful combination. Also, the Fisher/Fischer/?sp driving the K1000's have always done it for me. He had a chintzy little standalone CD-ROM drive as the source -- not even transport into some sort of upgrade DAC, but the analog outs were the actual source! -- that he ran through some sort of analog harmonizer/excitifier or some such bullshit that raised the db passively or something -- and that combination sounded SWEET! I think upgrading the cables on the K1000 is crucial to get rid of its criticisms (harsh highs).

You can get a new MSB Link DAC III for US$359, I think -- used should be even less. The nice thing about that setup is, you can upgrade piecemeal. You can get a P1000 power supply later...then an upsampling upgrade...then the half nelson (or full nelson)...etc.

Could you describe the rooms? I think there was something wrong in the first case, because your description of the 72SE doesn't sound like what I heard -- but I heard them in a dedicated dealer's showroom.

I have no idea, but it looks really nice unfinished.

I shaved my head a few years ago. I ended up looking like an uncircumsized penis. I promise never to do it again. At least, not until I lose some weight.

/wanders off to look up 'Neville Chamberlain' Was he like Ghandi? It takes a certain amount of already existing charisma to pull something like that off -- I'm not saying you don't have it, but hungrych definitely doesn't have it.

Allow me to tell you a story. There once was a guy, and he had a girlfriend. And he had a "mistress" on the side. Most of us knew. When he left the girlfriend, he didn't start being truly open about the mistress, but started a relationship with another girlfriend. Well, this girlfriend started talking shit about the "mistress" -- tramp, whore, etc. But also just generally mean and bad things. And we were like, no -- I mean, yeah, about the tramp part, that's why he went to her. Because he wasn't getting what he needed from the first girlfriend. But that doesn't make her a bad person. Well, I have since stopped being friend with boyfriend and girlfriend, and am now pretty good friends with "mistress". Do you know what? She's a really nice person. And no, I'm not sleeping with her. She got a little messed up by that (sort of like sleeping with a married man), but she's over it (happily married now, herself -- to someone else). Here's the funny part -- I was surprised to find out she was a nice person. Even though I didn't believe gf#2, she still repeated it enough times that I began to believe it, subconsciously. So, moral of the story? If you repeat something enough times, people will believe it. If you repeat something enough times -- even if it isn't true -- people will believe it. If you repeat something enough times, with enough emphasis, people will believe it. Goebel knew. Hitler knew. It's a war of words, and it has to be fought. The unfortunate part is -- no-one wins.

Mink Oil? I know you use that for nice leather shoes, don't know if you would still use it if it's for a surface that touches one's skin/head.

Dagnabit, I missed it!

Billy, you are so full of shit.

Someone post a link, quick, please -- I need context (as it is, I don't get it).

I know nothing.

You are an enormous penis.

A thing of beauty.

No, you shut your piehole, smegma-breath. I been waiting to use that one. Where ya been?

Damit!

One can maximize one's post quota by using separate windows for replies, and using a one-minute egg-timer type thingy.

It's not the cost of the tube that's important. For example, I much prefer EL84's and 6SN7's to 300B's or EL34's...just my tastes.

This girl came on and claimed you were her husband (?!?!?), and that you were cheating on her (I wouldn't cheat on her -- she sounds like a psycho -- I'd fuck her and dump her), but she kept referring to you as "Alex" instead of "Jahn", and that...

Assuming that this headphone sounds as good as I'm imagining it will, this is where I am.

Favourite quotes from the article: "...a former film student who goes by his real name...when not wielding a blood-spurting electric chain saw..." "Often derided as a showcase of kitsch..." "...after coming in last at Eurovision eight times." "Finns are so uncomfortable with themselves...that when they meet someone for the first time, they stare at their own feet. Then, after 10 years of friendship, they stare at the other person's feet."

link OMG, why am I reading this? It's like 99% drivel! "Hey, who's the guy in the blue shirt?" "Hey, look, a chick!" /closes window

Bear with me: so I get this coupon in the mail, and I flip it over, and it says that it's exempt on, amongst other things, Martin Logan equipment. Martin Logan? Since when did Best Buy start selling Martin Logan equipment?!?!? So I do a little searching around, and it appears they're starting a high-end corner in some of their shops, Magnolia Home Theater. No shit! They also sell McIntosh, Sennheiser, REL, and a bunch of other good shit. Oh, and Bose. What's next? Pigs flying? Cows coming home?
