Torpedo

It's the SRM-212 energizer actually, my bad. I thought you were suggesting me to get a pair of 002 to go with it. I'm not sure if these are any better than the 001, which I have yet to listen too.

I see what you did there, Brent

The previous one was very good, I agree this isn't at the same level, but still liked it quite a bit.

Do it! this is the Case Now seriously, I'd love trying the JH13, mostly for all this pack raving about them, but custom earpieces aren't an option not living in the States, considering it's rather frequent some "retouching" is needed. I bet the JH13 with the PP is an awesome combo.

^Very nice album. Joseph Joachim Raff: Violin Concertos 1 & 2 - Michaela Paetsch-Neftel, Bamberger Symphoniker, Hans Stadlmair.

Really? hahahaha

I never learned to love the Etys I wonder if the Pico Slim can really juice up that bass and make them sound full bodied.

Last year for vacation I took the iTouch with the Pico Slim, the PS-1 and ATH-ESW10. This year I'm considering going for a Stax system with the SRM-202 and the Gamma-Pro, though I might go nuts and taking the 009 which doesn't work that bad with the 202. 007 won't work. If not, then iTouch, Pico Power and PS-1 or perhaps the ATH-W3000, they're more comfy than the ESW10 and closed enough not to disturb the wife.

As the season is progressing, it'd be cheaper for Ferrari to fire Massa and hiring a decent driver, than keeping him summing 0 points every race. This time he didn't total the car

I beg to differ a bit with Nebby. I tried the combo when I received the PP and while "powerful enough" the sound to me ears was more in the cold and sterile side of things than when using the Luxman P-1 or the Gilmore Reference. Still a listenable combination. I didn't try both using a premium source though, just the iTouch with a LOD playing ALAC files, so this comment should be taken with a grain of salt, specially if Nebby used a high quality source. My intention was just to assess if the PP-HD800 could be a good portable system, so the source had to be the iTouch.

Another entertaining race. Not that I liked the final result, but it could have been way worse.

Beautiful, nice present!

Sounds good, Brent. It's a pity you can't get an image from your eardrum to look at it. New iPhone gadget, anyone?

Happy Birthday matey!!!! I'll toast to yours later.

Happy Birthday!!!

I definitely don't need more amps nor cans

Wondering if trying this at work too

Wow, she's fast. I have some more headroom, specially if she likes the music.

Until the neighbors complain or the wife asks for a break. Any of both happens in a few minutes, so no danger for the ears.

No it's not, but we have loudspeakers

I have a similar condition, Jacob. I've noticed that cans having "heavy" bass are more prone to excite the tinnitus. The HD 800 aren't one of them. Just use lower listening levels and you should be fine. Leave it more at 80dB. Of course not using the cans at all is safer

The pirate mother lode.

Define "not superloud". Safe levels are in the 80-85 dB for listening sessions of more than 4 hours. This assuming occasional peaks well under 95-100dB. The good ting about these loudness wars and compressed music is that you don't have to worry about the peaks anymore

Or just lowering your listening levels a bit.

Mal, in Spanish, actually translates more as Evil than Bad. Has anyone listened to the thing or even read a mildly reliable comment? The idea of having an amp for every headphone sounds great to me, but I thought it wouldn't be possible unless you used trafos on one of the output types. Or on both as Birgir suggests. Interesting nonetheless, unsure this is a decent implementation.
