Mu understanding is that Todd never charges until he is ready to ship or has shipped.

I'm actually not a DAC1 basher but it is not the height of headphone amplification and it is comical that they are using a $12k dac to feed a digital signal to a $1k dac/amp.

The Frankenapple!

I have no intention of using the FR charts to make my pick. I intend to use the Psychic Puppy Network, of course! The Magic Dog Biscuit told me that the outlook was good when I asked if I should buy the HD800. As for you question, that is tough. If pressed right now, I guess I would say my balanced Equinox'd PS-1s.

Maybe you should use Tickle Me Lemos! Oh, I just talked to Jude and he said that Tyll had the 800s on for 20 minutes this morning and thinks they may be the best dynamic cans he has heard. I know we will hear from Tyll directly, but that seems like some amount of further confirmation. Plus, the Senn genius trust didn't even have the Dac 1 Pre so they are using the brand new Emm Labs dac as a digital transport into the the Dac 1! There may be a better way to listen to these cans, I'd imagine.

Somebody will have to tell me what measurements I want, other than 36-24-36, which I already know about.

Dan and Nate, I agree with you. I was just including his physical description of it which could be a Lemo type or not. I wouldn't expect him to know if it is really standard or not. Should have been more clear.

This is what bostonears said on HF after he saw them yesterday at CES: The cable appears to be higher quality than the old HD600 series cable, and is said to be silver-plated copper. The cable connectors are definitely non-standard. They use two small pins recessed within round metal surrounds, rather than protruding from plastic as in the old design. The connectors seem much sturdier than the old style, and it might be a while before third party cable makers duplicate them.

And, I get to pick which pair I want from the Frequency Response charts on sennheiser.com (even though I won't know which one is "better" based on that info)! I told Todd he should offer that for any buyers when he has multiple pairs available so they feel like they have some choice in the matter.

Good job Billy, mine is the first set on Todd's list! Everybody should be going to Todd and Tyll to get these cans.

Posto favorito.

Roy Hargrove Quintet -- Earfood

Can you drive that truck to CanJam '09 in LA? That would be the shit. Respek.

Actually, I think that is Rykarda Parasol in her final death throes.

I don't know the differences between the Mk. I and Mk. II that I have, but damn, if that ain't a sweet option for somebody looking to score an amazing phono stage and preamp in one package!

Muddy Waters -- Folk Singer (Classic Records 200g) James Taylor -- Mudslide Slim (Warner Bros. Reissue - Hoffman Mastered)

Jay Reatard -- Matador Singles '08

I guess you're right. Here is my TT:

Be careful now, Monkey

I figured you knew how to do that, but your comments threw me. Glad it worked out in your new thread.

Congrats Jay, that looks like fun times! To post a pic, all you have to do is right click, select copy image location, and plop that location into When done correctly, it looks like this: And with flickr, you can hit All Sizes and select which size you like best. Medium or Large usually work best, depending on the image.

Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, etc. It is supposed to be easy to use and very accurate. You can put it on top of an LP and take stylus drag into account, which is a nice touch.
