I thought today was amazing. I really don't see Contador as particularly self serving. Did lance slow down the split so that Contador could catch up in the early stages? No. Did anyone give him shit? No actually they gave Contador shit for not keeping up. Seems to me if Lance had done identical things all would be forgiven. As far as that attack can see Contador not particularly wanting to listen to Johan since Johan didn't even have the nuts to go with the guy who was the stronger rider from the beginning. Today Contador rode a perfect team mates race and even paced Lance up once or twice. I just hope these Contador doping accusations are entirely false. It's too bad that this in this sport everyone lives under a cloud.

It looks like he bought his system from this guy: Asylum Trader - Sound Lab Majestic 945 Full Range Electrostatic Panels

It is quite noticeable when switched on and off in Al's setup at CJ. I am not a fan of it at all. I personally found it rounded the edges off stuff for me but I would not describe it as euphonic. The fact that they admit it's not the most correct thing to do may have predisposed me though so who knows. I am certainly not in any position to come out against DSP. I have one theory that people are so caught up in the live experience they fail to notice fact that it's not as smooth or alive or etc as they think. When you're in the room with an orchestra you don't really mind the etch on some stuff, but then if you listen to an exact (or very close) reproduction you notice all sorts of stuff. It's like watching a movie for the 1st time vs the 15th. I personally have no problem overlooking these things in a recording but they drive a lot of people nuts. Just a theory YMMV

It makes your digital recording sound "better" by applying proprietary DSP to the digital signal. It can be summed up with the quote along the lines "the correct math is not the best sounding math" (can't find the original on their website anymore). At that point I lost all interest.

A fucking dongle? Are you shitting me? What the fuck is wrong with flexLM or some equivalent. Dongles are crap.:palm:

Wiring to the back corner of my yard for my hot tub Damn I want this landscaping done with.

^ You will burn....

Yes. I would think so.

Happy Birthday Dan! Keeping it a ninja birthday?

Saw him in concert in Ann Arbor a few years ago. Really was awesome.

Finally someone understands me

I have already observed measured performance differences in the high part of the frequency range between the KGSS and the SRM that I have had. The plot is around here somewhere. Down low I didn't see anything.

Sorry you're asking the wrong person. I have never heard the GES and I'm not a tube guy, hence the KGSS. That said the BHSE sounded amazing and totally neutral with no tube sound to me. It depends on what you're looking for. I'm looking for repeatability mostly.

Who's the lucky bugger with that?

Dinny, Use switch box with the connectors I mentioned above minus the the rca connectors.

It sounds great and works well with my O2 and ESP950. I have to give it a proper listen etc but I'm pretty happy. It will be a fun month or so until I make up my mind. Haven't done any comparisons with the HD800s/GS-X as yet.

Good point. I have my doubts that headphones require a speaker switch but I'm not sure of the power handling capability of those switches. So instead of the Kramer use a speaker switch box.

Very much so (thought if you press 2 buttons at the same time you might be able to force it) also all things are switched (at least in my balanced one) so no chance for shorting that I can see. Though you might end up with one amp apply voltage to the outputs of the other.

Kramer RCA Switcher: VS-81A - Single Output Switchers - Kramer Electronics Male TRS to male RCA connectors (1 for each amp) Female TRS to male RCA connector (1 to go to headphones) Yay!

I has this now

Ok. Well the other pair that I know of should come (the owner is coming though I haven't confirmed if he will bring them). We can even plug them both at the same time into the GS-X and off we go.

Well it's supposed to be an electrostat showdown but there are at least 2 pairs of HD800s available for the micro mini meet at my house this weekend (if everyone shows up).

Blind testing. Hell yes
