Cheesebert. But he was actually pretty cool about it, so I answered very nicely. I won't post what he said about how good it was, but it clearly was close to sliced bread
Chesebert = TC_Shadow?

Good old kwkarth <3.
Haha just kidding. I only learned about him recently. Homey forgot the to ask for exact burn-in time down to the minute. That's probably the most important factor of all.
-
Oh yeah, and I'd be pretty shocked if an Asgard could hold its own with an M3 or some such. Although this one guy got an Asgard and was selling his Dynalo .
That's... I dunno. He's just some guy I don't know though, so I'm guessing something there is defective: Dynalo, ears, something.
-
Well, it'd only be bad if the Pico was cheaper than the Asgard.
-
Hey, they might be awesome for all I know.
Seriously, I haven't read much of anything about them. -
Homeboy lists Phiaton among his favorite headphones.
I just found that amusing.Maybe I should check em out?

I skimmed it until I got to the part comparing the Matrix to the Luxman. Right then, my eyes rolled back, and I wanted to punch someone.
So the Matrix is a bit worse in every way but doesn't get embarrassed? Damn, who would've fucking thought? I've never read anything to that effect in an audio review before.
Anyways, if he's not a noob, he certainly seems like a speaker enthusiast who crossed over into headphones without delving too deeply into the subculture. I certainly don't know about like half of his equipment. I'm not gonna knock his general audio knowledge, but I still say the headphone knowledge and ears may be suspect.

The proportions are clearly all wrong, that amp would never fit comfortably anywhere! It's just toooo loooooooooong.
I believe you need a "no homo" at the end there.

I still have my AD2000s, and I agree with the left/right issue. Soundstaging on my HD580s feels more natural, but I do like the AD2000s for vocals and rock. May be getting my hands on some latex tubing to stuff under the pads for some cushioning, so we'll see if that alleviates some of the issue.
This post reminds me of those ghetto cups that Craig (Eddie Current) brought to the last NorCal meet. Basically, they're just these big honkin plastic things stuffed loosely with cotton; they close off the outside of the AD2000s and stick into that seam part around the mesh. I didn't get to play with them too much, but maybe someone else here did. I do like Craig's setup everytime I listen to it, so I'm gonna just take the leap of faith and assume the cups really help with whatever is weird about AD2000s. Maybe some of y'all AD2000 owners with a DIY bent could mess around with that. I'm not super picky about soundstaging/imaging so it's not something I'm particularly interested in "fixing"...
-
For the sake of argument, isn't the Dynalo designed for low-Z cans? I'm open to the possibility that the AD2000 might sound better in other setups, but I think it might just be a case here of 'different strokes for different folks'.
Most likely the latter. I think Dynalo + AD2000 is one of the best amp/phone combos around; as a combo, it's like unbeatable for the price ime. Maybe it's a source thing? Not sure whether your Adcom is modded or what you use for transport, but if you can try it with a fancier source, you might change your mind. For instance, the bass on mine never got really visceral until I got an RME card as transport, which really surprised me.
But whatever. I say if you don't like it, then no need to bother trying to figure out why others like it.

Ooohhh homo CJ stories. I lol'd pretty hard for real.
-
That cat is a mod? I didn't notice him until I tried to read the CanJam impressions thread and noticed one fellow in particular who tried to singlehandedly ruin it with annoying ass arguments over minutiae. Seriously, is KB his boyfriend or something? Why so adamantly defensive?
-
Wow. I am thoroughly impressed with the step up in detail/craftsmanship/professionalism/everything.
-
Yes, HC is definitely full of sexy faggy cliques.
That's how we roll, son.
-
My whole take on it is that most of the new shit is garbage. So that's easy. Don't buy them.
-
I haven't kept up with the Lebron thing, but last I checked, I didn't see much reason for him to leave. The only thing now is to convince Bosh and Wade to come to Cleveland.
-
Celts suck. I bet the Thunder could take them. Btw, the Thunder sound like a damn WNBA name. Sonics >>>> Thunder.
-
If you have a medium or small head, then forget about the W5000, they really do sound like crap if you don't get a proper fit/seal.
I dunno, man. I have a mediumish head I think (7 3/8 with full-on mop) and W5000s work fine for me.
-
Man, I bow to your techy knowledge. Now ima eat some chocolates...
-
I want to find a tube amp that isn't an amp. I think that'd be ideal.
-
Yeah, I haven't found a BB character that really clicked with me. I really want to like it, but ultimately, the gameplay isn't up to GG standards.
Continuum Shift looks to be a bit better, but I'm still not ready to put it up there with the GG games, which have been through many iterations already.
-
Stop picking on those noobs haha. They're not necessarily all lazy; there's just too much info to take in all at once. It's also hard as fuck initially to figure out who to trust. Hell, I still feel like a noob when the techy boys start going off about whatever random transistors or wiring layout or whatever the hell.
-
Let's just be honest: if you're not gonna use real sentence structure, people aren't gonna like you.
-
Awww shit. I want one of these already.
Seriously, I haven't read much of anything about them.
