OK, for your Sunday listening...


1 More, the Stones did a version (secular) very close to this, don't know if they heard something transitional between the Staples version and theirs,or they "adapted/approptiated" it themselves, enjoy...



OK, since I mentioned the Bad Boys, I'll post their (decidedly secular) version, from a TV show, Top of the Pops (they are lip syncing, though, the music is the studio version)

OK, out of control (what else is new), was listening to "Something Inside of Me", WKCR on the way to work, playing Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, figured there must be some sinners out there that could use a bit more help...
(Sam Cooke died at age 33-what a tragedy).

Have thinksound on1 up on Amazon for $252, not to mention the Japanese translation of the review for JVC HA-FX850 (of course, I don't need any of these). Any thoughts on these? Experience?

  I just never ran into it before :) and the only mention of it is in two posts here one being the july 15 2013 Japanese headphone show, so that is only a few months.

Are you thinking of the  Tio or IQ instead? I believe the Pyco is a new dynamic.
 
Probably not they are both above 200.  Thanks for the impressions.

Huh, I just looked on Amazon and it said it has been available since August of 2013, so it's not that old I guess.
 
Nope, I definitely heard the Pyco. The only other Ultrasone I've heard is the 900 though.

Good price, gets good reviews from the quick skim I did, as I said, I remember the Stereophile reviewer liking them at $100-you going to do it? (do you have the XBAH3? How do you like them, haven't seen you mention them?) (I'd consider them, but I'm juggling the thought of so many different purchases already, just adds more confusion to the mix)

I did order the TEAC, long list I'm considering pulling trigger on...

Yup, and that's why I want them so bad...but..I can't buy them at the moment..I need to sell my headphone inventory first. I will probably sell the ath-re700s.
 
I do have the xba-h3s, they are awesome sounding for their price! Big bold bass, with the nicest mids I've heard (since they sound pretty full bodied, and have incredible detail despite this thick sound), and the highs are amazing! While it isn't bright or sparkly, it has more than enough treble quality for you to enjoy your music with, adding layers upon layers of depth that you hear in your tunes when you run some rock, classical, jazz music!
 
Pretty WIIIDE soundstage for me, and still has good imagery to help you get a sense of height as well, pretty good 3-D imagery.

^ Great call doc, maybe these TEACs will make you sell off a lot of your other budget/ mid-fi iems/ gears.

I know, it is an act of blasphemy on my part!

I truly don't want to sell them, but if I want to try out those karmans, these babies are the ones to sell the most...

That's another reason why I want to sell, despite the differences in bass and vocal presentation. I hear that the harmans have the same martin logans sound sig (that means instruments are represented faithfully), while having bold bass, but not basshead levels. It has great highs, though they do not best the martin logans in that department, and soundstage and imagery varies...
 
I so want it!! The mids are also warm...I want warm + heavily detailed mids from the karmans while having somewhat warm and detailed mids that come from the martins
