You already have a Parasound 1100 and EHHA? God that's fucking impressive for someone who doesn't know what O2/717 are.
Fuck Denon phones. That's clearly the problem with your setup. If you must have another amp, get this one:

Pro builder, warrantied, and the price is great.
Edit: You have an HP1 too? That's a serious rig you got there.

So can a Squeezebox be hacked to function like a soundcard? Like for movies and such.
-
Wow it's looking more and more inevitable for me as well. Shieeet... Maybe by the time JH21s roll out, I can get a nice deal on a 16.
-
So how good is the power supply on this thing?

So while the RS-60s are on their way to NYC, I thought I'd just share my impressions from the time that I had with them. I'm a rather shitty writer, so I'll keep this brief.
I've owned HF-2s for a while now, and they're my mains, so I'd say that's a fair reference point. I never bothered with any critical listening or any of my familiar test tracks. I did mess around with the pads, though. As expected, I stuck with the flats. Compared to the HF-2s with flats, they're not as dark and don't have as much midbass bloat. I don't feel comfortable saying the sound is more neutral or balanced; it's just different. Resolution is definitely better on the HF-2s, presumably due to tighter spec'd drivers. The RS-60s were no slouch, though. They really sounded good to me... maybe $200 good? Wish I had a pair of SR225s on hand to compare. I guess that's a testament to the Grado driver line, as well as the importance of frame and pad quality. Oh yeah, they were also significantly lighter and more comfortable than the HF-2s, which are significant advantages in my book.
I do kinda wish I had tried some critical listening, but that's really not something I like to do at home. I mostly just listened to shitty death metal as usual, and I had no real complaints tonally. I bet they sound pretty sick from a nice balanced rig.

I don't like how there's a stupid face on the left side of the front panel.
-
Love the look. Wish they'd made a cheaper one that wasn't a CD player.
-
Shoddy workmanship in those pics, but is it really that much worse than what we usually get straight from Grado? Not excusing it of course; I'm just lamenting the lack of professional pride shown by some of these manufacturers.
-
Count me in.
-
Source probably wasn't great either. Yawn.
-
I think K701s are just fine as is. It definitely performs well for the price, and amping it isn't toooo difficult. If you get your hands on a nice Dynalo or M3, I'd say the vast majority of dynamics can be well-amped reasonably cheaply.
-
I think my netbook is reasonably fast. I can run foobar, Opera, standard def vids, and SNES games, so I'm good. It won't run modern games or movies, but I assume you don't care about that kind of functionality on a netbook. The only issue is that web browsing is a bit iffy.
-
^^^Yeah, that one looks pretty fucking comfortable.
-
I have pretty flat feet too, so I only jog in clunky running shoes. I never even tried with the Vibrams. I only use them for quick errands when I don't feel like putting on socks, so I guess I haven't made the switch as completely as some of y'all. Comfort is fine, though; I don't experience any pain.
-
So I got a pair for myself as well, and I gotta say I cannot fathom anyone running in these things. One would have to have perfect running genes to make em work.

Hey, happy bday man.
-
Man, I'm stoked for Thanksgiving.
-
Yeah, turkey is a terrible substitute for pork. I once tried to make collard greens with smoked turkey drums instead of ham hocks... no good at all.
-
I'm referring to the MenaceTC.
-
Now I wanna see the non-Lite one.
-
Happy Birfday!

Happy bday Boo! Enjoy the weekend.
