Now there's a good idea, lets get this thing in print or kindle form.  I would buy that.  especially if you offered updates...

Easiest solution is that one of us Head-Fi'ers (or even a collective) collects and collates all this information in OOWriter (or M$Word for Micro$laves) gets the copy to David for approval and then simply saves this as PDF (and e-book) and places it for free download of for a small donation to Head-Fi. And of course update as things change.

It may even be good to collate other reviews (Headphone Amplifiers, DAC's etc.) into the same book. So to speak a HeadFi Bible...

Cheers Rich

PS, I'd help, but I'm jammed out as is.

I would also be interested in this as well. Mad Dogs seem to be a popular headphone on head fi as of lately.

David, if the HE-500's retailed for $895 and included FREE worldwide shipping, would they retain their A+ rating?

Before I forget, Welcome "home".

You DO deserve a  break. And I've just the break  for you! Spring is in the air, and with you being a musician and all, I know you'll be able to relate - hire a Roadie (or two) and go on a National Tour with all of them gears. And let the Head-Fi community fund your effort. 

Maybe, slice up the country in 6...9...12 regions?

I would add to the growing call for a Mad Dog Alpha pad review...before you go on a break. They seem to be the headphone of the moment, with the most buzz surrounding them...

Please please please.....from one Elliot Smith devotee to another

That would be a dream come true, because i think my music is really want i would love to do.... but to be honest, something has prevented me from ever really trying to introduce myself as an artist.  I've played my original compositions for less than a dozen people, but its a big part of my life.

Great...let's make it happen! (2014?)

I never even heard of the Mad Dog before, but I see here its popular..... whats ur favorite elliott album of the week?

I'd give a shout out to Dan at Mrspeakers: https://mrspeakers.com/ I'm sure he would lend you a pair or something of the sort. Some people prefer the Mad Dogs to the LCD-2's, and the Mad Dogs are only $300. I suggest you check 'em out

Never too late :)

I've been lucky enough to play in front of thousands of peeps at local festivals, and theres nothing like people enjoying your own music. Its such a personal thing.

LugBug1, what do you play or are you a singer (both)?
