...I went to the local yesterday to pick up some extra bits and pieces for my system. I got some nice cable shielding, and some tidbits for soldering my own RCA leads etc. While I was there, I met up with a friend of mine who I haven't seen in ages. He was getting his headphones serviced and had just picked them up. He was plonked down in the listening room, in front of a Quad set-up, with a rather large and stately looking valve amp on the top of the stack. He asked me to try them...Senn. Orpheus HE90. Aren't these just incredible? I didn't really know much about them until I went home and did some more research. Apparently he owns one of the only pairs in the country, if not Australasia.
These are just amazing. I don't know if the post-listening/finding out how much they're worth and sitting in amazement in front of my computer euphoria was clouding my judgement of the sound, but I sure was impressed. I will try to get some photos up of the store as-well it's rather cool.
