I'll second what was said about the ps1000s weight. It doesn't bother me that much, but it is a factor, and they will slip off when I tilt my head. If the LCD-2 was too heavy for you then the ps1000 will probably be as well.

Quote: if you already have the PS1000 I don't think there is any reason to own the GS1000i aside from curiosity. I've owned a couple different GS1000s (recabled and stock cable), and while I enjoyed them, the PS1000 fixes every thing lacking in the GS1000 and keeps every thing good. The...

I'll be the contrary one and say it was wonderful, maybe even better then Borat. plenty of my like-minded friends hated it though. the only part that really was "gross" was the over the top sex scenes in the beginning, but even those weren't that bad. the fact is that homosexuality pushes...

I saw the Mars Volta play live at Voodoo Fest last year. The show started off electrifying, my friends and I were all pumped up. After about three songs, we were weary of it. Its like non-stop cake icing. Sweet stuff, but I can't eat it for two hours straight.

I'd go with something classic, like a Millett Hybrid or a Gilmore Lite. My Minimax sounds great with the HF-2.

i think grawk is totally superior.

ordered! hopefully I'll be able to snag mine in LA.

if the HD800 are more big-head-friendly then the O2 (and it looks like they are) they could be the can for me. one of the biggest reasons I always fall back to Sennheiser is comfort. nothing beats an HD650 comfort-wise.

I'd like to second the Ministry recommendations. Anything on their last three albums is perfect. Their "Roadhouse Blues" is non-stop pumping aggression. I recommended Meshuggah's new album (Obzen) to a friend of mine who works out at a gym, and it has worked very well for him. Also have to...

Dio - Holy Diver

I think its just fantastic. I hardly expected it to sound anything like GNR, and sure, its dense and overproduced and protooled to death, but both the vinyl and LP sound great sonically, and the music is just awesome. Axl's vocals soar, the lyrics are as insane as ever, and the songwriting is...

great pics so far y'all, looks like everyone is having a great time.

Steely Dan - Aja (Cisco/Gray) Cisco is closing its doors, so this album is going out of print, but it is still available new. Really, this is a must own for any analog audiophile. Combine the studio mastery and song writing genius of the Dan with the mastering genius of Kevin Gray and we have...

For great sound, amazing performances, and fantastic prices, check out any of the Living Stereo releases. All classical.

Looks like a good time was had by all. And it looks like Skylab stole my King Crimson shirt!

OII. yeah thats right, i got OII fever, so I post about it in threads where its not being discussed.

Great news! I have received the D5000 and have spent several hours testing and listening to them. They work perfectly, even when cranked to "blow one's fool head" volume. The headphones are in the exact condition originally described to me by Mitch when I sent payment for them. I've cancelled my...

Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail (Atco/Japan, Barry Diament master) The first three tracks on this album will tell me everything I need to know about a pair of headphones.

Actually I really appreciate this thread. For a couple years now I've regretted using so many periods in my email address. I just tested it sans periods, and it sends the mail just fine. Now it will be much easier to verbally tell people my email.

This is something I've done a lot of research about, having considered many times purchasing some sort of HR Desktop unit yet never pulling the trigger: time and time again, most people say that the balanced with home comes out sounding better then the single ended with max. What you...

Thanks all for your continued support. More good news tonight: Mitch has provided me with a working tracking number and several scans of a UPS Waybill containing that number. The package will arrive here in about a week. If the package does indeed contain a pair of working Denon D5000s...

Some potential good news: Mitch has taken the D5000s to a Denon repair center and has had the wire fixed. He has offered to mail them to me per our original agreement, and I have agreed. I'm eagerly looking forward to receiving a tracking number, and will keep everyone here and his feedback...
