I'm special too! Ooh, Dark Orchid

That is so sad. :'( I hope they are going to a good home.

Received a Luxman P1u from Todd on the loaner program.

Or maybe it is just the DTs and some excessive weight loss.

I've been meaning to ask you or look back and see what you said about the combo, Birgir. So that is good to hear. Am I right that you did not have the SR-Omegas when you were the proud owner of that particular piece of Stax amp history? I have visions of greatness when I think of hooking them up the T2.

Thanks Miguel, but I'm not really interested in pursuing them. Too many cans, not enough time as it is.

Thanks Steve. Did you try the amp with normal cans or just the LCD-1?

Lambdas sound way better from the 007t than the O2s regardless of head size/shape. Of course, only Naaman's BH and Justin's BHSE have even made the O2 sound worthwhile in my experience. Growing curious how the DIYT2 will drive the O2s, I have to admit.

I think some people use that terminology. I have also heard "practicum" used on occasion. But given that part of the day is concerned with avoidance of alcohol and substance abuse, do you really think that could be more than theoretical in my case?

Nice translation, but what does "a practical" mean? If you mean is it practical, then yes, I am [almost] always in the office by then.

TeeHee, that's punny! ^ Knuckles' pictures reminded me of this guy here who does some shovel art that seems like it still might be quite functional. Some of them would have the added benefit of further terrifying the recipients of Reks's Wrath:

Todd is posting deals in his Sponsor Forum on HF in a thread called Items of Interest. He has two different discounted 307A amps, one of the greatest headphone amps evar. One is his demo that comes with a Pelican case and extra toobs, and the other is a brand new one that got a scratch on top behind the tranny. He also has up a Manley Stingray for $1700, and he just added a VPI Scout with choice of 3 carts for $2200. These are nice deals, and I think more will follow.

Signed up last minute for MCLE class to complete my 3-year requirement. At least it was free because MoFo is so generous!

I need more impressions of my amp, er, I mean Marc's FET amp creation! Who listened and what did they hear?

Thanks for the detailed notes, Carl. Interesting findings and sounds like you had fun with it. I am a bit concerned by how much these cans seem to vary from unit to unit, and their amping needs seem to be both substantial and quite particular. I was unimpressed by my albeit short listening attempts. Claiming these cans are better than the HD800 is silly, imo.

Josephine Foster -- Graphic as a Star

Congrats on the Quads, Nate. If that is messy, then the state of my workbench (hardly used, of course) would make you have a seizure.

Various Artists -- Almost You: The Songs of Elvis Costello

Sorry, Din. It looked awfully good in the first half.

Craig is bringing one to the Feb. 27 meet, as if there weren't already so many great reasons to come out here! Oh, and I get to keep the one he is bringing to try and maybe buy.

Double posts 30 minutes apart. Very strange.

Well done! EDIT: Wait, wut? I didn't win? Must have been rigged. Who paid off that kid?
