Happy Birthday, tall tall man.

The BA is the new guy and I am one of the slow types to determine preferences so it is not in the mix at present. Plus it is not balanced yet so that could definitely throw a monkey in the wrench.

They are K340ish in their amp dependence but as of now the amp(s) that I prefer for each is not the same. i.e. I prefer the GSX (SE or balanced) over the AA for the K340 but just the opposite with the LCD-1 (only SE right now). The new guy hasn't been here long enough for a non ipodbj opinion.

or keep the original pads and modify your head.

I doubt that the foam will have a really large effect on the overall sound. We should have tried it on the TTVJ Fet-A, but a goodly portion of any logic I may have had during the "meet" was washed out in my Glencairn glass. I like it better out of the AA HPA v.1.0 compared to the GSX. The TTVJ and AA have a very similar sound signature based on the short time I compared them at the "We Haz no Joe Grado" meet. I personally have no problem with the fit of the phones but some people cannot get them to fit tight enough or without large gaps between the pads and their head which may cause problems similar to having a poor fit with the O2's. I guess I just have the next size up chosen-one head.

Nah, I have people who do that for me.

The only way I could restrain myself from grabbing more donuts was to keep my hand in my pocket since I am an ambidextrous donut eater.

Duh! He lives on an island.

They use hedgehogs in Scotland.

Maybe you should upgrade.

I'm pretty sure I have some 1/2" braid from back in the day. I will check when I get home this evening.

Happy birthday, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Ditto x2. (Sorry for the Kai-post x2)

In the 21st century computer audio ≠ "mp3's and such"

The JH-21 was 61.54% better than the JH-13.

I liked the SS302 and I liked Amarra, even though I tried hard not to like either one. I could hear differences between Amarra on and off, but these were definitely not even single-blind as I had not drunk enough at that time. I see change in the future The HD800 sounded excellent out of Ari's balanced amp. I think I am becoming more and more a tube guy. The JH-13 sounded OK

Pffft on you all, I am going with THIS

Umm, the "fat" version connector fits the HD-25-II-I quite well. Kthnxby.

A most excellent time was provided by our host, the attendees and especially the international fugitives.

I'm selling all my gear to buy Britts Donuts donuts.

Actually the JH-13s absolutely suck ..... out of the BHSE.

ipods, duh.

Now back to drinking.

Drove to airport, waited for plane that was late, flew, missed connecting flight, waited and drank at airport, flew some more, drove a little more, stayed up way to late drinking and talking. Why am I up now?

Very noice. That is a beast to be sure.
