Honestly none of that costs all that much in the grand scheme of Summit-fi.


Yeah and I'm an honest college student who works 5 different campus jobs to afford my hobby, tuition, and lodging. Plus I never buy components at cost. Either I work with the people I buy from, or I buy used. I was talking value, not straight cost.

you are one of those people that likes to talk about themselves quite a bit. Kill that ego before it gets to big.

Amateur hour. Auto correct ftw. And I was joking. Do forums completely drain everyone of their ability to comprehend sarcasm or have fun? Jeeze...

Speaking from 10+ years of solid forum experience, yes, absolutely. Sarcasm is missed by lazy reading, feuds unravel, and before you know it, you're all hunting each other down cross country. Beware.

Well anyway,
 
I've been wondering how people have felt about Bifrost/Asgard LCD-2 pairings. I hear people find them "stale", but I honestly find a rather interesting balance between the neutrality of the Bifrost/Asgard setup and the natural tone of the LCD-2 Rev.2...

Anyway, what's your read of the TakeT? Was that pure joking, or do you really find the can to be out of the league of the LCD-2 and other planars?

Woah woah. I wasn't attacking your setup. I was saying that he was touting you as some rich dude that could afford anything because of the gear you have.
 
We all work hard for our gear around here. Heck, if we're talking value anything that involves an 009 is crap. Diminishing returns kicked in a long time ago.
 
EDIT: I meant that in the grand scheme of Summit-fi, you haven't spent much at all, though you've got some of the best value out there.

Oh no, I realized where you were coming from. I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to him, with your quote being a tag onto which I relayed my post. In any case, I was curious about the TakeT, since we're trying to place the thread on track again.

Edit: My apologies if I came off as offensive. I was simply addressing the matter at hand.

They crush the LCD-2. Luckily, those cans hold their value so you can sell them on ebay and get the taket h2 for around
120000 yen over seas. Much larger sound stage. And very pronounced highs. They also look like a crazy headfier made them in his garage.

Just wanted to make sure. I was confused. :wink:
 
Seriously though. I hate Grados, but I'll be damned if every time I see a pair with nice cups I don't want to buy some.

Isn't that a personal preference? Do you mean to say something about higher level detail? Also, what were you driving and sourcing them with, for curiosity's sake?

actually I have said quite the opposite. I listed my gear in a thread and said plain as day that I wish I could listen to a headphone as beautiful as the 009. I was told to post some pictures of nice gear and now it turns around on me. I jokingly stated that a extremely expensive space age looking setup was for "one of my guest rooms" you guys take things too seriously around here.

No it is not personal preference. It is an observation. Yes higher levels of detail. Again, I do not own these. I have fellow audiophile friend overseas that has a pair in his collection. I am just a starving college student.
