Better than the ipod/toilet bowl AKGs, that's for damn sure.Agreed. I mean after all, you like them Sennheiser things

Potayto, Potahto my friend. If we all liked the same stuff life would be pretty boring.Granted, and god knows the 6c33c could use the added cooling to the sockets. I guess I just don't dig the look. It seems unfinished to me.
-
Eh, I kinda dig it - of course I tend to favor industrial over polished to a certain degree. And I'm sure it doesn't hurt with heat dissipation.It's still ugly.

Unless it's a certain video of Olivia Mojica I'm with you. And I've never watched a single episode, live or otherwise.paying for american idol is something i can't comprehend, and I watched every episode live.

Go for it.I see an opportunity

About $200 worth of knobs from THL. Jebus I wish there was a stateside place that had half the selection that they do.

NICE! You going to use a separate DAC or just use the analog outputs?Squeezebox

Happy Birthday, Ian.

Proof once again that there really is an idiot born every minute.Holy shit.

Good call, downloading now! I heart Rapidshare.Season 1, Episode 7

I must admit that I'm a bit partial to my HF-1s, which now sport a real leather headband.
(mine are the near pair, Ian's in the back ground)

Yeah, it got a good recommendation from a friend for being a still reasonably priced transconductance tester. I'm currently watching another, similar unit and may pick that up as well and sell whichever I like less. I need something though, I had a tube that I thought was bad and had to drive an hour to have it tested, ugh!ooh, nice one, nate!

Again, I'd love to see inside that mini connector to know how the f he's soldering those giant strands to tiny pads. Maybe Furutech makes allowances for 18ga conductors with their mini plugs?How about the ugliest headphopne CABLE ever?

You're too kind. Honestly I'm tempted to buy them only so that I can ensure their destruction. Jebus those are hideous.Looks like an anus.

At $337 each I think I'll have to pass.

You can multi quote as soon as you hit reply. Next to each of the messages below the reply box there is an option to "insert quote".
Also, I'd suggest that your preference of the W5000 is probably in large measure due to what you're driving them with and less a reflection on the two headphones.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with it. I don't do all that much critical listening at my HT rig but the anticables certainly don't do anything objectionable. They replaced a pair of MIT Terminator 3's which were probably triple their price so I'd say as a "value" the anticables more than hold their own. My only complaint, and it's not much of one, is that they are pretty stiff regardless of what Paul says. Sure, they're able to be maneuvered easily enough but they take a bit more setting up than typical cables. In the same vein you can pretty much tailor them to look however you want since they hold a shape. One other thing, if I were to do it again I'd just have Paul make them up - it was a bit of a fussy process to measure, cut, coil, crimp, etc.

I agree, with the gain that low 24 steps should be ok, it would somewhat depend on your source output level but odds are it'd be alright.My math could be wrong, but a gain of 15dB works out to a gain of 5.6 or so, so it's not all that high. I think could get away with using a stepper with only 24 steps, or if worse comes to worst you could swap in different transformers to drop the gain.

Catch up Dusty, you're behind the times...That might cause an infinite loop.

My favorite trick, when not using the slinky is to shrink around the clamp at the back of the RCA to create a strain relief. This also works very nicely with Cardas 1/4" TRS plugs that otherwise have no strain relief. Of course you could always cover the slinky in shrink if you wanted.Good to know.

I've posted the two biggest atrocities here, although to be perfectly honest it's his sig that pisses me off more than anything. It just screams, "LOOK AT ME, I'M AN ASSHOLE!!!!1!"postpixplzkthnxbye
