Looking at pics of the Soloist MK2, it actually doesn't look like it has these op amps in it so guess that was a dumb question.

Forgive me, but if I wanted to bypass purchasing the Burson op amps separately and installing myself etc, does it make sense to just get the Burson Soloist SL MK2? http://www.bursonaudio.com/products/soloist-sl-mk2/   Call me superficial but I prefer the look of the MK2 as well.   Thanks

Oh boy. Getting a pair of these for X-mas. Cant wait. Now just need to get my amp situation figured out. Quick sub $500 dollar amp recommendations? Looking at Schiit Lyr 2 but what else is out there?

Wandering back into the hobby. Thinking back to years past when I had a PPX3 SLAM, RS-1's and SR 225's. Talk about fun. Here's a shot of the RS-1's

I had the PCI version of the 0404 in my PC for years but mainly used it for its ASIO capabilities and the coax out to an external DAC. Guess I never knew the on-board DAC was supposed to be so good. I recently retired it because it did not fit in my new PC (blocking video card ventilation). I...

Wow that band Aborym is nuts. Will have to check more of them out.   Speaking of Apocalyptic crap...this is pretty badass:  

Let me rephrase. when I said silly I was more specifically talking about the sound of the melodies and not the lyrical content. I'm all for the fantasy stuff dont get me wrong. In any case, it was just an opinion of course and i still appreciate what bands like that do in the world of metal. 

All of Moonsorrow's work up until after Verisakeet are must listens IMO.   This includes:   Suden Uni Voimasta ja Kunniasta Kivenkantaja Verisakeet   To me they are the ultimate band in terms of this sub genre of music. Beyond epic with the best folk melodies while still not...

These 2 Cd's have been constantly playing either in my car or at home for the past couple of weeks. I havent been able to tap into their newer material too much but these older works are pure gold as far as I'm concerned. Highly recommended for those interested in 90's melodic doom from Greece...

Yeah my friends told me about this yesterday. Really sucks. Whatever he was like in real life, i dont really care about. Their sound was so unique and it really bums me out that they wont be able to create any more music. At least I got to see them play live once. For those who aren't that...

This is what I drink when I wanna have a good night. A bottle of this stuff pretty much lays me out...plus its delicious. Especially if you eat something sweet with it. The Piraat ale tastes pretty much identical to this stuff, but I give the edge to the Gulden Draak.

Found it. New Order - Thieves Like Us youtubed 'pretty in pink soundtrack'. this song is not on the ost's i saw on amazon. anyway, decent song. i mostly just really like the beginning. song kind of wanders off after a little while after that.

Ive tried listening to some of the samples for the soundtrack that are on cdnow but cant seem to find one that sounds like the song in the movie. The part Im talking about (for those familiar with the movie) is when whats her face Molly Ringwald is making the dress for the prom. Its towards the...

Chrome. I like the UI, its fast, and i dont care about extensions (although they now have some available).

after pairing them with a ppx3 slam... no. cant say that I do.
