Heifetz, Sibelius/Prokofiev/Glazunov, RCA Living Stereo SACD Returning to this. Jesus Christ he was good.

No, not yet, but they're wishlisted (I'm a closed headphone freak)...thanks for the initial impressions.

That's why I always mute my porn. EDIT: No, wait, that's not why...

Chopin Ballades & Scherzos, RCA Living Stereo SACD

:drool:

Good to hear, thanks for reporting back.

I hadn't heard of it, so thought it was notable.

"We weren't really adding any fees." Uh, yes you were. I hate paypal. Still use it, but fucking hate it. I keep forgetting that I hate it, and go back to using it, and then something like this comes up. Doesn't really affect me, but just reminds me how much I hate it. There are plenty of other options. Western Union has a "send money with a credit card service"; you can always send a check or money order; there are escrow services (wherein both parties send money and merchandise to a trusted, disinterested third party, and after they receive both and payment for their services, they send both to their respective recipients).

I thought it said "Dahnnyi's Olymato".

Page 23 -- DT770 Premium and DT880 Premium (!); and what is that on the MMX 300 headset, carbon fiber? Page 24 -- Beyer made an amp...and color swatches for headphones?

I don't use 'em. Hirsch does. His gear usually sounds better than mine.

My condolences to both of you.

Even though I suspect this was not sarcasm, my opinion of you just went up a notch. Despite the pervasive "opinion" of him over there, you still have managed to make your mind up on your own -- keep it up! Oh, and if it was sarcasm, very diplomatically stated. So either way, win.

Thanks guzziguy and aerius, this is good advice, and I am going to take it. Honestly, I didn't even think that it might be something else. And I actually will be trying the eye yoga thing, too. Seriously.

Also, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Outlaw -- they seem one of the few that are still making pre/pros these days (Yamaha doesn't appear to, Integra..., Onkyo...) -- model numbers are 970, 990, and the upcoming 997 -- especially considering your criteria that you will only mostly be using it for older tech, you could get one of the two extant units. I know that's what I'd get if I was buying new today.

I have a stupid -- albeit serious this time -- question: why do you want a pre/pro? What functionality will the pre/pro provide that the Oppo will not? It's got a USB connection, which, if I'm not mistaken, will allow you to play your hard drive files. It plays every shiny disk under the sun, so there's that...

By all means, do not let that stop you from ever getting to hear him speak. He is as disarmingly charming and interesting and entertaining in person as he is on paper. All I could basically get out was, "thank you for writing", but I was towards the end of the line, so that's about all he probably really wanted to hear at that point. (Personal signed copies of Anansi Boys and ...er... something else, I forget.)

I would get one that has two zones and then set the zones of the speaker outs to be separate from the pre outs, and then send a 60 Hz tone on the speaker outs, and then run an air-conditioning unit off the speaker outs.

I would get the starquad, just because it's slightly more expensive, so I wouldn't have to worry about double-thinking my choice later.

gerG on head-fi went even further and did a preamp-less speaker system. He said it was a bit loud. I suggested different amps for different volumes, and he liked the idea. He said he wanted to implement it with huge electric-chair type throw switches. I liked the idea.

"Orly?" is the greatest first name in the entire history of nutcases and their conspiracy theories.
