Dusted this off to get my work from home setup done. Been over 5 years since I put on headphones other than the JH reference audio monitors.

ended up getting the CAADX!   Planning on going racing sept 1st!

Any other bikes you'd recommend? I tried the giant Tcx slr2 , felt 65x and focus maeres and specialized crux so far. I dirt bike and know the learning curve can be literally a pain in the butt I hadn't thought of the reservoirs will pay more attention to it.

definitely want to be able to do some offroading. Cyclocross seems like a ton of fun to not try. I plan to get a second set of wheels for the road, but get you on the lower COG and sharper handling on the road bike.  Any thoughts on the full hydro braking setup?

So am in the market to buy a bike. need to get back into cyclying (did a ton back in India and some during my grad school days here in portland) THinking about cyclocross and eventually sprint and half iron man triathlons someitme next year.    Looking at this particular bike.    Any...

Nice looking amp

Hit me up in about 6-7 weeks time. It should make its way back over to me. I am in your neck of the woods. 

  Huh? Where the hell are you reading my prior post as an excuse.    I said I liked my Pm1. Can't make it more clear than that. The accusation that it 'might'  be defective is being made by other PM1 owners.    I haven't heard any other Pm1 to make that determination side by side for...

The one purrin heard and ultrabike took measurements of is mine. I was one of the beta users and I am not sure it's a defective unit or not I like the Oppo. It has no one amazing stand out quality but it doesn't have a terrible Anomaly to it either, at least to my ears. I don't know what to say...

a magnepan 1.6 with a 100W class A amp..pure bliss at a rock bottom price point. Miss my Plinius and 1.6 combo. sigh

    The good thing about the PM1 is that it sounds quite good straight out of the iPhone5S to me.    But comparing between a Cavalli DIY EHHA versus a Cavalli Liquid Fire, there is noticeable difference. The strengths and flaws of each amplifier stands out.    I haven't tried with changing...

Yes they/we were..surprised the heck out of me.  Currently out on loan to Doc B at Bottlhead and then to a HF member in Seattle.   I am missing it for sure.    My dBel84 modded Yamaha HP-1s are making do for now.   

    Great impressions! And wow!! Had totally forgotten I owned a Cary CDP at one point haha.  Making me miss electrostats again now with that image heh. My LL is packed away in a box at dBel84s house in Milwuakee now that I sold off my O2mk1.

Came in today to find  out that the package was not picked up by fedex yesterday as the shipment guys had not placed my box with the rest of the stuff to go out. THey don't do saturday delivery and i looked at UPS as an option but its like 60$! Anyone going up from Portland at all ?? If so...

OPPO PM-1s will be shipped out to Bottlehead for the meet.

What i take away from this thread is that Jason is a marketing guy and he sure knows his trade well!! These days not many things can keep my attention for more than 2 mins unless it is videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od7U9GhZg_g or of your mom i made last night..    at first i...

if someone wants to take responsibility for the OPPO PM1 i will consider shipping it out. Will need to be returned to me soon after the meet however and that person will need to cover return shipping costs.  Big_poppa? kingstyles? Doc?

Haven't heard them side by side, but when I did hear the T1 back when it came out, I found it mediocre even compared against vintage orthos. The T1 is mediocre by any means.Then again am biased towards planar magnetics so you are probably better served by someone more objective than I am.. 

    The sound quality is quite reminiscent of the ID1..Flat, smooth sound. To me thisis  high praise for I hold that headphone in very high regard. Except the PM-1 has much better resolution (atleast over the stock ID1) without the midbass bump (With the perforated pads atleast) , and no where...

Been listening to these headphones with the Velour pads for the last 10 days..LOVE it!     Driving it with a Cavalli Audio Liquid Fire. 

That'd be interesting! I have almost exclusively moved on to listening on Spotify

Blast!  Gonna be in phoenix that weekend  If anyone from Portland wants to take the OPPO PM-1 to the meet with them and return it back to me, send me a PM. 

nice pics Bill-P...great work with that Fuji X-Pro1 mate..   That's the other thing that got me about this meet..a fair few folks toting Fuji X cameras :D
