Lily Allen -- It's Not Me, It's You

It made it, not that there was very much doubt.

Silversun Pickups -- Swoon

Looks neat. Now, how does it sound?

Abdullah Ibrahim -- The Pilgrim

CAPS LOCK MAN SAYS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? JESUS. ETC.

Paul McCartney & Wings -- Red Rose Speedway

Woot woot! Buy a DAC if Dinny hasn't cornered the motherfucking market!

Om nom nom.

Warm eggs, though.

Blur -- Modern Life Is Rubbish

The upper midrange/treble troubles me too, but I don't hear it as a nasal inflection. Rather as a sometimes-intrusive sharp edge to vocals. I do absolutely agree, though, that the "sweet spot" volume level is too low for my liking. Where I part company with the sloths and join the elephants is on the spaciousness of the presentation. Elephas is spot on about the sound staging. I just couldn't go back to the 6X0 series now, despite having lived happily with both for extended periods in the past. The HD800 is a superb headphone. But like everything else in life, it has its own particular frustrating imperfections.

Dom's black/silver Headphile Cpads. No idea what these will sound like on an HF-2, but there's only one way to find out and if they work the combo will look pretty fuckin' wicked.

Ray La Montagne -- Gossip In The Grain

Also, he'd pass out before completing the second word. Then turn around and charge $730 for the "Fuck Yo" upgrade -- which makes it sound way better for rap music.

Sazecrac. Jonesin' right now.

Not a perfect fit, but good enough.

Queen -- Live At Wembley Stadium

Well yes, but Dinny's B22 doesn't have "Fuck You" scratched into the top of the case with a #4 Torx screwdriver. Yet.

Klipsch stepping up, albeit with "enhanced bass".

Boston -- Boston

Yeah. We'll figure out a way to make it happen sometime in the future.

Just for shits and giggles, I'd like to set up an A/B of a pair with a graph like Quadrangulum's against a pair with a graph like mine and see if anyone can hear any difference.

Babe in the woods I am, apparently.
