Torpedo

Better feartures than fartures.

Now seriously, some friends came with a T1 to my place. We tried it on low impedance amps like the Beta and the Gilmore Reference (GS-X like, Justin would know better) on highish impedance ones like the Luxman P1 and the Rudi RX-100. With none sounded good, it paled compared to the HD800, HD600 even K-701, especially on the treble resolution and extension. Also kind of "generic" bass, tending to be just one note. Voices were just average, far from a believable sound with a proper timbre. The 880 is just OK, a bit too bright for my taste, but probably acceptable for the money. 770 and 990... well, too far away from neutral to consider them half seriously. DT-48 definitely a POS not adequate to listen to music. Good to make clinical pure tone audiometries. I haven't listened to other models, maybe it's true the models Tyll defended are OK, but for a company which so consistently makes headphones far from my liking, frankly, not worth the benefit of the doubt. I still wonder if the T1 or 880 are worth the effort they require to sound good. IMO the HD600 can do a better job without all that hassle. Probably the HD800, with their fame of being tough boys, are easier to get right than the T1.

In. If I won, we'd talk about shipping

Nothing like showing oneself opinionated to cheer up the conversation

It's possible, Birgir. I haven't listened to those. The rest of them

Thank you very much, Dusty. It lead me to Valery June's which is what I'm watching/listening now.

That's a wonderful bike, Nate. I wish you enjoy it immensely.

on the 600 love Beyers suck. Period. All of them. Period. From the once vintage holy grail DT-48 to the superuberduper T1, one of the biggest overpriced POS I've had the dubious pleasure of listening. However I can understand why some people likes them. Horses for courses.

Cute!!!

So sorry, Brent. Scary issue, glad the kids and you are fine. Big hugs, mate.

I'm sorry, Jacob. What a POS of a neighbor you got there

RIP Lou. Really sad news. Interesting read at Rolling Stone, mostly for the way the own Lou described his recorded works.

yep, the large ones I guess, but they are more expensive than the Pearl.

+1

It could work, but I'd try the aluminum foil thing first, that would hardly work if the foil fails. Conceptually I like the Pearl Tube Coolers better.

Damn, you're all sick

I know, that's how it's supposed to work best, but if it already works without grounding, why making things more complicated?

Glad it worked. Why connecting the shield to ground? By not doing so the noise filtering effect disappears?

^This.

It reminds a bit of the classical pyramidal scam scheme.

Dear Marc, Happy Birthday!!!! Have a great one

Wrapping the tube in aluminum foil paper changes the noise?

Excellent news, Brent. I'm glad this stopped at just the BP raise, and all ended in a fright. It's great when the body just gives a warning.

Best wishes, Brent. Looks like it's going to be a huge fright. Hopefully it stays at that.
