Same. Exactly.

Separated at birth?

Jonathan Tinn from Playback Designs was telling me there would be some big DSD announcements this summer and fall and this is one of the biggest. Glad to see the Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez store is live on day 1 and that they have a nice variety of music in DSD. I have not looked into how they have been made and cannot attest to the sound or quality specifically, but I think if Chad Kassem is going this deep into DSD he would do it right for the most part.

I want a SLAM SE with tube adapters and a fun switch.

Wishing you Phishy Phun on your big day and the year ahead. Cheers!

Jeff always gives a great deal but I don't know shit about bikes and whether that one would make any sense for me. I should inquire (and even thought about it previously).

I dont even know what that is

You NEED a bike. Congrat Vicki!

This was on the bargain shelf today so Santa must be extra pickled by now. Thought if Wayne but did not buy.

What is your proper HE90 amp?

You don't remember the so-called Caribbean Season?

So Biggie, the 009s have an "upper midrange shout" or "honk," the "bass is messed up," and the "top end is rather artificial"? That's an awful lot of problems for one TOTL flagship headphone to suffer. Fortunately, I don't hear them.

The 009s are better cans all around to my ears, but I don't know exactly where it falls on the bee -> bull spectrum. Maybe a large dog. Anyway, I have never been a big 007 fan and thought they pretty much sucked on anything before the BHSE and DIYT2. The darkness and more "distant" presentation of the 007s is not too much to my liking -- especially on anything other than the BHSE or DIYT2 (I haven't heard a KGSSHV). Those two amps made me want 007s again, however, because they bring the 007s to life and yet the more laid back presentation is fun sometimes. Plus, you can rock out on 007s easier because of that less detailed and less forward presentation. Now, Birgir says my 007BL are the worst of the 007 lot so I guess I may have to compare some better ones for the hell of it. I hate the 007 Mk2 so they don't even make it onto the spectrum for me. The Omegas are much closer to the 009 in presentation, but they do not have the accuracy or control of the 009. Again, the bit of flab or lushness, depending on how you want to characterize it, is something I still love about the Omegas and makes them more fun on some level. I would never dream of getting rid of the Omegas given that I already have them, but I don't think you need Omegas if you have 009s. I think the best combo is 009s plus 007s for a change of pace. Of course, it is also nice to have 4070s when you need a closed can, but that is another conversation altogether for most people.

Head: 009 > Omega > 007 Heart: Omega > 009 > 007

It takes a Spaniard to find the NPR stream! Now listening to Neko. Thanks Antonio.

My head hurt bad and my mouth was a desert this morning. Excedrin is keeping me awake and mostly out of pain.

Not a chance

You're servicing all of the ladies in the book club and Joann brought you candies on their behalf? So Marin!

This blows.

Eat a peach while you wait. Enjoy it Mike!

While I was mostly kidding around, how often are you going to have the volume pot all the way turned up with no music on and hold the cable in just the right way for reception to occur?

Do you remember that this is Head-Case.org as opposed to uptightselfimportantviolinistcunts.com, right? Doug's first suggestion was either a genuine suggestion to use a silent practice violin when necessary or just a little humor. Either one was harmless and required no response if you aren't interested. Your first response was an entitled and self-important jab for no good reason at all. Doug made an appropriately direct response to your idiotic analogy and a fully justified snarky comment about 18" plaster walls that was knowingly irrelevant to your condo. Your next response was an over the top cunty tantrum that was ludicrous and reminiscent of your last exit from Head-Case. Don't let the door hit your punk ass on the way out.
