May 6, 201214 yr Thanks for this, I want to try it. Haven't found a way yet to integrate (the vst filters) with iTunes or another free player for OS X, any idea? First put your VST files into your Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST Then install this VST/AU manager: http://www.kvraudio....anager_by_vstau The software is self explanatory, basically install all VST files. Edit: Neutrino will support VST for OS X http://neutrino.en.softonic.com/mac Runs limited features when expired, but still works fine for music playback. Edited May 6, 201214 yr by johnwmclean
May 6, 201214 yr Have you tried running it through Soundflower and AU lab? Thanks for this, I'm going to give this a crack as well.
May 6, 201214 yr I used that setup to run apQualizr when I had the SR-507. I could not use those headphones without EQ. Haven't used it since I sold the 507, but maybe I will download TB Isone so I can see what it is about. I wouldn't mind having a simple cross feed for some of my music, but TB Isone looks like it may do more processing than I am looking for.
May 8, 201214 yr Spent some quality time with my O2 Mk1s this evening. I've been listening to the O1 non-stop since I got the KGSS. O2s still don't suck
May 8, 201214 yr After almost a year getting dust on a corner waiting for the DIY finally got a 323s, now I get what's the fuss all about. The mk1 is indeed better than the Z3, do want need more KGSShv though Edited May 8, 201214 yr by Spychedelic Whale
May 8, 201214 yr I think he's trying to say he wants a KGSSHV Don't quite understand what you are saying.
May 9, 201214 yr I have to say the SR-X MkIII Pro is really a great sounding headphone (with SRM-717 and Lavry). Very balanced from top to bottom (bass is deep and tight), phenomenal timbre, great resoution and dynamics. Just a hint of sharpness in the midrange. Soundstage is not big but not cramped either. The headband might need a bit of extra padding but otherwise the comfort is better than what I remembered, having the NB version earlier (but with a different source) Tonally I prefer this to the SR-007 which imho has too much bass and treble and too coloured mids. Still no SR-009 though... Edited May 9, 201214 yr by padam
May 10, 201214 yr They are really something but the headband needs to be improved. I've been thinking about something like the LCD-2 approach, thin layer of memory foam to make them useable but can't find anything locally.
May 10, 201214 yr What would be the best service to purchases from fujiavic, kuboten maybe ? Edited May 10, 201214 yr by Spychedelic Whale
May 16, 201214 yr Someone has listed an SR-OMEGA on EBay for £5900. Is that seriously the going rate, because it feels crazy.
May 16, 201214 yr He's the guy that's been selling high end electrostatic headphones at ridiculously high price.
May 22, 201214 yr I promised a few people some impressions of my new stat rig, a KGSSHV and O2 MK1, I recently sold my dynamic system (balanced β22 and LCD-2R2) to support my new venture. For a month or so I was left without any system whilst I was building my KGSSHV, my impressions are based on auditory memory of my dynamic rig, my source remains the same, a Buffalo32 DAC. So here goes… The treble on the stat system extends way further without every being harsh, when called on it’s as delicate and airy as anything I’ve heard. I can hear way into the recording venue, instruments are better defined with clearer attack. The LCD-2 in no way can keep up with the O2 in this regard, it just doesn’t have the top end detail the O2 possesses. The mids of the O2 are just excellent, again better detail than the LCD-2, although the LCD-2 does add some weight and meat behind instruments and voices - overall the sheer brilliance of the O2 gets my vote. Bass with the O2 is absolutely amazing, it hits hard with great weight and detail, to my surprise actually, as I thought the LCD-2 would be the clear winner with bass - if only for the most bass dependant genres the O2 is simply remarkable.

May 22, 201214 yr Did you ever consider the B22's stepped down treble and darker tone to not be an ideal match for the LCD-2s? At least that's what I found with the combination. Nice write up though. Edited May 22, 201214 yr by Audiojunkie
May 22, 201214 yr I considered John's B22 with both his and my HD800 the most crystal clear setup I have ever heard. It did not augment nor mute the treble peak of the HD800's. If there was a problem, it was with the phones, and not the amp.

May 22, 201214 yr Hay guise Even though its only being driven by a $10 ebay amp, dat soundstage... the highs are a little woolly at the moment but the bass and mids sound pretty good, I'll bring in an old receiver to supplement my amplification options tomorrow.
May 22, 201214 yr Looks like the cable curse holds true. Gotta love mad design moments coming back to haunt us.
