  1. Very Nice Ryan. You realize this means that it has to show up at Chiunifi-Redux! I have relatively recently become a big fan of Craig and I need to hear my HP-1's on the Moth and Zana Deux.
  2. Happy Birthday the younger of the Matts
  3. OK. Yeah I had to "bend" mine but its a fine line between vice-like and loose on these. They have gotten a little more comfortable over time, but I would not rank them in the top 10 for comfort.
  4. Was that with the stock cord? Switching out to the stock HD-650 IMO gives it a less "in-your-face" presentation and definitely cleans up some treble harshness. However, soundstage is what it is with this phone regardless of cable.
  5. I'm telling you, give the Senn HD-25-1-II a try (See post 19). DEW EEET!!
  6. motorcyclists that get caught in my front grill ... selfish, inconsiderate fuckers.
  7. Well for out and about I would also suggest the Senn HD-25-1MkII. Just make sure and switch out the original steel headphone cable with a stock HD-650 cable (and turn the earpieces upside down). Here are a pair for sale
  8. So is there a reason to choose the AT440MLa over the AT440ML, other than the ML is no longer in production? The stated specs of the ML appear superior to the MLa?
  9. Thanks. Lots of good recommendations. I will track them down and try to make some decision. Right now the AT looks very interesting.
  10. Its the standard tonearm that came on the system. Straight 8.75" tubular tonearm with a detachable cartridge holder. Four-point gimbal suspension with adjustable counter-balance, tonearm height and anti-skating. Will accept any cartridge with a mass of 1 - 10 g. Unless you owned one (and had the manual at hand) there would be no reason to know any of that (unless you were practicing for an audiophile cocktail party).
  11. I am bringing my old Dual CS-721 (vintage 1976) out of retirement. I had some work done on it around 2002 and it works great. The cartridge on the other hand needs some help. It currently has an old Ortofon LM30 cartridge. A replacement stylus costs about the same as a new cartridge of comparable quality. Therefore, I am looking at alternative cartridges for this table. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, especially from those using older direct drive turntables
  12. I think stupid and inane posts are da bomb.

    RS1's?

    Well small world. I was there from 74 - 81 (Forestry). Was only back about 3 times from 81 - 05. Now I live 45 miles south, go figure.

    RS1's?

    I did not know you went to UI. When were you there? I also remember the smell and it is still there (at least it was last week).
  15. Thank dog, I was starting to feel old. Welcome and sorry about your thin and wrinkled skin.

    RS1's?

    And there's also a pair of MS-Pro's about 45 miles south if you want to give them an audition
  17. Do the upper end EAR phono stages have subsonic filters?
  18. Yeah, I was really bummed when Logitech bought Slimdevices. But I have to hand it to them, they actually seem to be leaving the creative side alone and certainly Slimdevices has b rought new products to market much more quickly under the Logitech umbrella. I'm hoping they can do the same for UE, maybe then I can afford a UE custom.
  19. Happy birthday to the man that knew about headphone audiophilia before there were headphones
