Todd just replied to me saying..
"You'll be getting an HF-2

Todd"
Pretty simple, but it got the message across. I'm happy again!

Well, it was, but the original "discussion" thread got closed for a couple of days when the F1 issue first reared it's head, and some people went ballistic in it.

Since then, it's been kind of a free-for-all.

my thoughts on the HF-2's compared to my MS-1's

I just got my HF-2s yesterday and the already sound better than my MS-1s. The HF-2s are also sound just as exciting as my dad's old Edition 9s. The HF-2s sounded best with the bowls because it made them sound more spacious and real. The comfys made them feel closed and compressed, but the ms-1s sounded best with the comfys because the bowls made it sound like i had covered the cups with my hands while using the comfies. But the comfys made it sound like i was not covering the cups. the HF-2s had better bass, percussion, and strings and the ms-1s had clearer (closer to you) treble and were better with xylophone. When i covered the cups of the HF-2s with my hands it still sound better then ms-1s with the c-pads on the millett starving student.

To those of you who recently ordered and are worried about being on a wait list - Todd just posted on his sponsor forum (at 4:12 eastern) that everyone who ordered will get one and that from now on they will be on a wait list

Hey, HeadphoneAddict's son's first review! Not too bad for an 11 yr old but we'll expect more and better from you in the future! Someone has to take over my job when I'm gone.

Most auspicious. I wish I'd had an HF-2 and MS-1 when I was 11...

Hey Larry. Is it "my dad's old edition 9"s, or my old dad's edition 9's?

Great first review for the mini-addict!

He had to give me his SR-Lambda and MS-1 to pay for the HF-2, but I'm letting him borrow those for now...

Both - old dad, old as in "gone" Edition 9.

He is the only 1 of my 3 kids that are audiophiles. My wife says it's because he looks up to me and wants to have things in common (i.e. my mini-me), but I know it's just because he likes good sound and he thinks I yell too much.

Congrats, HeadphoneAddict. HeadFanatic's precocious for an 11-year-old. At this rate, he'll have your job in another year or so. Nice play with rhyme in his name. They sound alike if you say it quickly. Did he come up with it? As a father, you're fortunate. My kids have zero interest in my hobby. They think I'm nuts.
