	Quite nice mate. Next step is getting speakers a bit bigger on tall stands, moving them closer to the wall and window in front of you, and start listening in some near-field instead of that ultranear-field. You could get a nice distant perspective which you might like.

	Quite possilble. I'd probably pay for not having to hear his evil-f***-laugh. Edipis, I didn't like the V3 very much, I preferred my ole V2. Not heard the V8 yet, but don't have much interest to be honest.

	Fantastic, join the gang, the more members the merrier. We can shill better and get more sales
 - 
	Happy, happy happy birthday mate. Indeed

	Didn't you read my reply at the X-Cans V8 thread? He's got a lot of power inside Stereophile. Bunch of morons OMG
 - 
	That's very kind of you indeed. We'll see when the meeting dates are disclosed, our holidays time is more by these dates -we're on holidays now-, but knowing the dates for advanced enough... it could be. I like cats, my wife not much, but I guess she could bear with them for a couple of days

	Spanish lessons and practice for food, not a bad deal When's the next CanJam?
 - 
	Sure, I have several white coats, even a nice badge with my pic. Really serious stuff. I could wear one of these on my front: Not really much engineering stuff, but impressive nevertheless.

	Toledo, Ohio must be an inhabitable place indeed, rumors have arrived to Spain Not kidding, seriously, someone told me about it. Thanks a lot for the invite Be careful, we might accept it
 - 
	STEALTH Co. Nice one!
 - 
	OK then, you're the MOT, I'm the shill, both engineers, so we can publish our own scientific studies about the excellence of our products... In a couple of months we might buy this whole site.
 - 
	I like having my own company, but I don't want to be a MOT. I like much better being able to shill for my products and getting more customers using my hidden agenda. Way more lucrative.
 - 
	I can solder, I know some basic electricity and physics... may I become an engineer too? I want to start my own company too.

	Does he know a different Toledo in Spain? If it's worse than that, now I know why I don't know of it Yep, we're living in Madrid. Not a city I'd recommend to live in nowadays. In the USA I remember Milwaukee as a very lovely town where I wouldn't mind to live. Probably too cold in the winter, we went there in July and wasn't as hot as Chicago However my favorite city in the US is San Francisco. Not that I know the whole country at all, but among the places I've been there, SFO looks like one of the nicest places to live in.

	Fundamentals? Any 16/44.1 card should create a rather perfect 10KHz fundamental sine wave. The problems come from the harmonics that a perfect square wave has, which are above the 20KHz limit of 16/44.1 digital.
 - 
	LOL too hot in the summer, quite cold in the winter, much humidity for the river being very close, street climbing to go anywhere... The best thing is that by AVE -high speed train- you can go to Madrid in about 20 minutes, were you sick of living in a really small town.
 - 
	I suppose they were just using a 16/44.1 capable card, otherwise they could have managed to generate such signal... or not? What frequency do reach the higher harmonics of a 10KHz square wave?
 - 
	Let's see how it works the damn orthographic corrector... kind of perfect. I had some difficulties to get the US version installed, the damn Mozilla site always wanted me to download a Spanish version, even tried the Argentinian one LOL Grawk, I find utmost interesting your comment about the O2 needing a KGBH or KGSS to be "better" than the PS-1. Supposing you feed the O2 with such an expensive amp, in what things do you think the O2 is superior to the PS-1 and on what ones is the PS-1 still better? I kind of guess the answer, but provided I haven't tried the O2 and my experience with Stax HP is limited, I'd enjoy reading your opinion. Regarding the HP-2 vs PS-1 comparison... I can agree the HP2 is superior in neutrality and frequency response balance, but I don't think it's more resolving, spacious, dynamic or fun. I like both nonetheless
 - 
	Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it. It will save you some work
 - 
	Found it! I was wrong about my confusion... I always have difficulties with words doubling consonants, I tend to invent them. Once I learned discussion has double ss (in Spanish it's "discusi

	Oooops, I have to tell some English teacher I had. He was spanish though This is the source of my confussion. In Spanish we have the noun "diversi
 - 
	Hahahaha, funnily enough my intention was to mean funnier, because on my limited English skills, I understand that cans providing some fun are funny, so the ones providing more fun should be funnier. Is that right? I appreciate indeed your interest correcting my mistakes, it'd be great that everybody here did the same. I'd learn a lot to express myself better, which is quite important dealing with smart people as prone to play upon words as HC's population Rgrds

	Thanks for correcting the uncle mistake on the quote. It wasn't a typo I don't know either, but it's quite likely the german distributor had something to say about the result and gave some directions. Be as it may, definitely the PS-1 don't have the same John Grado sound of other models.

				There's something wrong in Colorado...

Hehehehe, a friend of mine purchased the Joule Electra VZN-100 monoblocks: He sold them one month later for his cannot standing the heat into his room. Sound was lovely, but not even listening in shorts and T-shirt it was possible to stay there for more than 10-15 minutes and not being completely wet in sweat. Their VZN-220 monoblocks really scare: - 
	I see. Funnily enough I didn't perceive the DB like funny at all. The DX-1000 are way funnier for instance. I had the same evolution as you about Grado. I never listened to any current production model that interested me in the least (I have to listen the GS-1000 yet), but once I knew PS-1 and HP2 I had to change my mind. It's quite surprising PS-1 are John's design. Maybe his oncle helped?
