Quote:   This is interesting, given this...     I'm confused.  Which is it?  You didn't know the price of the Pinnacle and thought the Peak was the one that cost $10,000?  Or you thought that the Pinnacle was "probably the most expensive item there..." (other than the Peak...

Quote: First of all, I've been an inactive moderator for several years now, mostly I suppose because the place eventually got overrun by newbie fools who had never been to a single meet before, yet somehow had the audacity to think they could provide meaningful reviews of 69 rigs, and that...

Quote:     Obviously a problem somewhere in the chain, and not a problem with the amp itself.   Your first hint should have been when you plugged into a system with an extremely well reviewed, high-priced amp that you had every reason to expect would make any pair of headphones...

Tim Duncan needs to also turn to his side for the other arrested by Fang photo.

Sorry, not in the least bit believable.

She's gotta go! 

I still belly up to the bar for a beer every now and then.  Lots of new kids in town, but it's the same old neighborhood.     The place where you grew up will always fell like home no matter how much it may have changed.  You just have to look around for a while, and you'll be bound to find...

Quote: Funny you should say that, because I'm in that market at the moment as well.  I've got an '08 Monster S4RS Tricolore that I keep in the US, but that big beast scares the crap out of me.  So I'm thinking about getting a lesser powered, but still pretty powerful, Ducati to bring to...

Quote: I think you've named yourself correctly, headphone addict.  With all of the high end headphones you have, you're worried that if you sold one it would leave you with a "hole" in your lineup!  Too funny.

  I'll probably be square, although there is actually a chance that I'll be in New York that week, in which case I'll be there.     Not sure if that trip will happen in November or December, and unfortunately I don't control the timing of it.  At the moment, it looks like December but...

Quote:  Chances are pretty good that it's just poor artwork.  Can't imagine the folks at Ultrasone haven't yet figured out the difference between open and closed.  Wonder if there's a Wiki we can refer them to, just in case. 

Great idea, Nate, and a wonderful gesture as a friend, and particularly as not a particularly good friend of Zach's dad (although I suspect that may change soon).  PM sent.

This was a long time ago, and there is more to the story now.  I think the answer is no.  I'm not sure though.  I gave my UE-10s to a UE rep (who no longer works for the company at this point) who as in attendance and working at their table at the San Jose CanJam.  I didn't get his name at the...

Quote: Where did you order it from?  

Quote: I know that this is probably a strange thing to say at a headphone forum, but it would just seems dorky (to me) to wear a t-shirt like that.  Maybe because it's product specific.  I like the AKG t-shirt that someone gave me at one of the CanJams (can't remember which one), and I've...

Interesting thread.  I just now stumbled across it.     I quite like the look of the E10, and although I know that the looks add significantly to the price that they figure they can gouge me with, they're probably a lot wiser than I am.  Why?  Because if the E10 sound as good as they (and...

Quote: Not really controversial.  It's just that it's been done ten million times.     Oops, I mean ten million and one.

Quote: That would be a good thing.  I hope more people start following his blog.  Lots of great stuff in there.

Quote:   You should look me up the next time you come to Cayman.  I don't get over to the Brac or Little Cayman often, but I love them both!     The Barefoot Man is a local legend, and a really down to Earth guy.  I once sat behind him on a Cayman Airways flight to Ft. Lauderdale...

Quote: I'm on the road this summer, so I couldn't get back to Cayman to take a current pic.  The grainy one posted in the blog is several years old.  Several new headphones and amps have been added since then.  I'll have to take an updated, high res, pic when I get back home. 

  Quote: Ya, that's pretty much why I agreed to do it.  It was a bit awkward to be singled out like that, but a lot of speaker-based audiophiles follow Steve's blog and if just a handful of them take note, it will have been a good public service announcement for the headphone community...

Apparently someone mentioned my headphone collection to Steve recently, and he immediately became interested in learning more about what might possess someone to become such a headphone nut.  We arranged a time to have a chat, and had quite a long chat at that.  We covered many aspects of the...

Yes, you need more headphones.  Get them all and be happy.

Thanks for the well balanced review, Rob.  It was nice meeting you at CanJam as well.     I've been thinking about getting a pair of these puppies, and should have given them more head time when I had the chance.     Given that I've got such a huge noggin, the comfort issue may well play...

You have to listen for yourself. That's all there is to it, really.
