Ooh. I'm tempted to do it with copper and leather.

He answered that in the original post.

You have a point if they paid for ray samuels amps. But the vast majority of people giving advice on this particular web forum have spent quality time with the gear they're recommending. No one is saying the guy at GNS is tone deaf. Just misinformed.

I recognize that amp...tkam and I both owned it...

You won't have great experiences using low impedance headphones balanced out of the dacs. The amp built into the aqvox isn't good (or at least the one in the cec isn't, and they're effectively the same, only the cec is in a smaller case.

You could always go the custom IEM route. About a grand, sensas, ultimate ears, or westones... Then there's the leatherhead (L3000) and R10s. Slightly down that path, I have a pair of sony CD3000s for sale that some people really like

Just hang rugs on your walls

The #1 reason: you don't want to be like todd

PM me your address, you can borrow mine.

I didn't buy his

I bought a set recently for future conversion to PS3000s...assuming I can ever run across a set of ps1 drivers.

He's the distributor, so I'm sure he gets a discount .

I bet jjcha is feeling that way about the VTGs at this point, too.

The 225s are obviously not better than the HF1s, which are remarkable. But they're still one of the great values in audio.

But 225s can be had for $145-150 all day long.

New, the cheapest you couuld get it was $207.

Wishing it was under $200 doesn't make it under $200. My favorite sub $200 headphones: SR225 HD580 ER4P Altec Lansing iM716 Sony V6s DT770s

I'm not sure who he was thinking about, he didn't post that

That reads as "While jerking off, tmonk says 'I don't like your face'. He then continues to jerk off, and says 'I don't like your hair, and I don't like you.' Then he finishes."

Earl, you're letting your ears override what specs tell you it should sound like

The camo hat hating I really don't get. Big deal, he had a run of stupid hats made? It's hard work making money in audio. If he found a way to make it easier for him, more power to him.

Of course, the 4g mod price didn't change just because you buy it from ALO. This ALO hating is a bit extreme. He's not any worse than any of the other overpriced DIY cable makers (except zach, who barely makes cables anymore). I mean, Alex (ayt999) is certainly way more expensive.

Yah, but come on, post hiatus phish isn't interesting for anyone

So, a lot of something rehashed, repetative, and not terribly interesting: good A little of something rehashed but not so repetitive: bad

This just makes me laugh given your other musical preferences
