May 24, 200818 yr I've had the O2's since Tuesday bought was unable to use them till today when my KGSS showed up
May 24, 200818 yr Very nice rig! The OII is like a drug, I can't get them off my head and I bet the KGSS make them even more addictive.
May 24, 200818 yr Great looking combo tkam. I love the black. It'd be great to hear some impressions from you, maybe a comparison between speaker rig and OII rig listening experiences.
May 24, 200818 yr Congrats. Oh, and, eeeeh, if you should feel the need for a BH, I can help you to get rid of the KGSS.
May 24, 200818 yr Congrats on a terrific rig! I will hopefully be able to join you in the Stax world at some point
May 24, 200818 yr Congrats, Todd. Will be curious for your impressions while I wait for my own O2 rig.

I can certainly do that at some point but they won't be using the same source. Congrats, Todd. Will be curious for your impressions while I wait for my own O2 rig. They are great, hows that?
May 24, 200818 yr I can certainly do that at some point but they won't be using the same source. Who cares?? Get on it, tkams!!
May 24, 200818 yr The OII/member ratio is growing pretty fast on Head-case. From memory, there's me, tkam, postjack, Duggeh, spritzer, deepak, justin, boomana, kevin gilmore, Elpheas. Anyone else?

May 25, 200818 yr From memory, there's me, tkam, postjack, Duggeh, spritzer, deepak, justin, boomana, kevin gilmore, Elpheas. Anyone else? Just had to sell mine. It really hurts to part with them but once I have money again, I'll be looking forward to rejoin the team.
May 25, 200818 yr I'm considering it, though I'll need to sell everything I'm currently trying to sell plus some other things.
May 25, 200818 yr I am listening to me Omega IIs & Rockhopper KGSS as I type. Cowboy Junkies on 45 rpm Vinyl through this set up is some of the best headphone listening I have ever experienced.
May 25, 200818 yr Seriously, I never thought I would say that, but I think the OII is a pretty good deal for the price. I see a lot of people on H-F rolling dynamic cans in the 300-500$ range and never being satisfied. They lose money in the process and end up buying different cans for different purposes. If they want to buy the really high-end dynamic cans (K1000, HP-2, L3000, R10, HE90...), they have to pay the same price or more than a used pair of OII. Sure, the electrostatic amps cost a lot of money, but the good dynamic amps also cost a lot. It may not be the same for everyone, but with the OII, I don't feel the need anymore to buy another pair of headphones. It covers all the genres of music that I listen very well, it sounds realistic (for headphones), it's incredibly detailed, it's comfortable and it scales well with good equipment. I have not heard the R10, HE90, and L3000, but at the prohibitive prices they sell, I'm not interested. Anyway, all that to say that the OII rocks.
May 25, 200818 yr Only reason I haven't jumped onboard the Stat train is it would necessitate an entirely new rig. Its taken too long to get decent dynamic amps as it is. I really dont know if I feel like buying a new amp again.
