I just fired up my spanking-new Rockhopper M3 (Thanks, Stephen!).

Power is good. My k701 almost sounds bassy! My k271 almost has slam! My crappy music sounds slightly less crappy! There is still treble! I'm not even drunk yet! I have a half fifth of Gentleman Jack on my desk!

If I had only known what this could sound like I'd have ordered one a year ago.

I really hope this doesn't mean a β22 is in my future.

The k701, more often than not an 0404 usb's onboard amp (I know, I know), the k271, a gilmore lite.

I have a beast of a dehumidifer in my apartment (not optional), so open headphones don't get a great deal of use right now.

almost.

Did you miss that M^3 thread? And the fact that some people have found the M^3 so good as to not really want to go higher, at least for a long time?

my m3 is definitely an endgame amp for me.

But your m3 is not your average m3.

^^ Is that the balanced M^3? I kind of remember it from CanJam...

yah, balanced and overpowered

Yeah, I remember seeing it.. didn't get a chance to listen though.

I must have, or I'd probably have jumped sooner.

But you can feel the pull of a balanced β22 and σ22, can't you? >>

Not at all, no

Congrats on the new amp!

Your M3 sounds great when it's working.

can't blame the amp for that, it was strictly my fault

Definitely your fault.

Storytime storytime! I wanna know! [/whiny plea for story]

Annoying fuck. [/dealing with annoying whiners]

He hooked it up wrong. Man this reminds me exactly like 5 year olds whining at their mothers at Thanksgiving dinner.

Oh shit. I just got told.

Jay's on the rag, ignore him.

He's right tho, not an exciting story. I just accidentally shorted the outputs of headroom monoblocks to the outputs of my m3. 3 smoked amps

Fun stuff..

No way, dude! Did the amps really blow? Please let me know and I'll see if there's something we can do for you.

Tyll, those were the loaners that I blew up. Tho if you wanted to send me a pair of monoblocks to replace the ones you loaned me, I'd be happy

Hey Tyll. I know that you guys are great with amplifiers and such, but I highly doubt that you have the skill to fix Dan.
