Steely Dan - AJA (MFSL) Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run (DCC) Wow, this sounds fucking incredible on the HF-2 out of the AA.

One advantage of the transporter over the SB3 is that the transporter will stream 24/96 but the SB3 will not.

Are you using the stock cable? I prefer it with the 650 cable although it can be a little annoying because of the length.

Even without hearing the Nova I really like the way it looks. Very refreshing compared to the usual audio non-style. I will be interested in how it sounds.

I stick by my original post.

I have a relatively low SN (13XX) and mine does not sound lean at all. I do agree about the rather long time to settle in.

He wasn't calling you a name, he was providing a description.

Right now if someone said I could only keep one of my John Grado headphones it would be toss up if I would keep the HF-2 or the MS-Pro. That is saying a lot as the MS-Pro has seen a lot of headphones come and go in this house.

Wooooossssssshhhhhhh..........

I was going to upgrade my phone to an Omnia and they told I would have to pay them thirty dollars for essentially nothing or $45 for unlimited data. I explained that it seemed quite expensive as I would be using wi-fi at home and at work. At that point he proceeded to tell me that even when I was using wi-fi I was still using their network for data. I stopped him there and told him I would be switching to AT&T in September since their data plan is 50% less/month and if I have to pay for a data plan then it will at least be for a phone that can replace my touch.

Well Verizon totally pissed me off so it looks like I will get an iphone in September when my contract expires. So did you guys know that when you connect your phone via wifi you need a cellular network connection?

GRADO Head-F1 Series and it should be blurry and shallow (the engraving )

I love my Switcheasy case for my touch.

Woke up and finished putting the trim around the back door of the HT closet. Put on two coats of stain on the door. Started laying the new retaining wall out front. Got to use the new chisels. Note to self: good choice of profession Had a late lunch. Mole poblano and two Negra Modelos. Took Peter to karate then to his swimming lessons. Stopped at family video and picked up three "new" Scooby-Do movies. Watched one before beddie-bye. Now, drinking some bourbon, listening to Ryan Adams on my Head-Fones and going over a contract. So when is the vacation over? Stretch - Sorry for your weather woes. Global warming sucks.

I think I have a variant as it is covered in goat feces with a hint of wildebeest excrement. Very interesting when things warm-up after burn-in.

Mine was actually an analogy: a software engineer is as much of an audio designer as a molecular biologist is a geneticist. Most molecular biologists do not have a very deep understanding of classical genetics, unfortunately, though most will tell you they do.

The Gilmore Lite should drive the K701's just fine. The reason I originally listed it as maybe is because it dpends on how critical you are. I utilize a GS-X (it actually once belonged to ASR) and my K701's are balanced so a G-lite will not sound as good in comparison but it still should sound damn good. If you move up in amplification, the K701 will scale up also.

Software engineer --> audio equipment designer as molecular biologist --> geneticist

If by respectable you mean loud enough to listen too, then yes. If you mean enjoy listening then no. In fact, my K340's sound better (still wouldn't do it except as an experiment) off the Pico than the K701. QFT

Listening to the HF-2's off of the AA HPA v.1.0. This amp loves Grado's and the HF-2 loves the AA. Not surprising, as my favorite pairing at CanJam was the HF-2/FET-A.

Really? By people that actually own them, or even saw them in person?

Agreed. When I said it was a good thing it is not Neil Young I wasn't disparaging his version, but that they did the cover, as most they do, in their own way.

I am waiting to see how they are reviewed. I think it is time to retire the Rotel 1068. Right now it looks like I will either get the Outlaw 997 or the Integra DHC-9.9. I haven't been a huge fan of the Outlaw Pre-Pro's in the past as they always seemed one step behind the curve. No HDMI on the 990 was just stupid and pig-headed.

Pico DAC/AMP - Level: Yes; Quality: No G-Lite/Pico DAC - Level: Yes; Quality: Maybe Of course I'm one of those curmudgeons that thinks the 701's need more power to sound good (as well as a double-entry recable).
