He must be in 'research mode' because he sure isn't building my amp. Before I ordered it in early January I emailed Xin to ask him (from the horses mouth) how long it would take...two or three weeks was his reply (flat out, bald-faced lie, but I made the mistake of believing him as I'm pretty...

And I now caretake HHF-1 #154, purchased from Skylab, the original owner. Larry's first headphiled HF-1 in paduak, with paduak splitter and plug.

Nice snag spaceman! Those are beautiful cans and the red leather is indeed gorgeos! And speaking of cans, the boobie connection had me cracking up!!! Now you can REALLY snuggle up with those at night with the lights off for an...ahem...extended "listening session" But in all seriousness, you...

The Shrink is on the case! I could say that if it's music I enjoy, I'm all over it like white on rice. If the music is completely off my screen, I could possibly appreciate the technical skill, but more than likely I'd be looking for the Exit sign.

Grateful Dead - Dark Star It's not a song per se, but when I was in Kindergarden my Mom gave me Meet The Beatles when it first came out, and even though I was pretty darn young at the time, it shaped the course of my life, musically and in a thousand other ways. I remember the occasion of her...

So many, but a couple that stand way out for me Hendrix - Band of Gypsies, Are You Experienced? Joplin - Cheap Thrills Airplane - Bless It's Pointed Little Head Hot Tuna - Burgers, Hot Tuna Live Grateful Dead - Live Dead, Skull & Roses, Bear's Choice, E72 CSNY - CSNY

Can anybody comment on how they fit with a bike helmet? Does the neck band get in the way?

Zappa, yes indeed! I might as well say it if nobody else will, Jerry Garcia - but then my musical tastes lie strongly in SF Sound and the 60's/70's Golden Age of Rock. Let me also add: Jorma Kaukonen John Cippolina Ralph Towner John Ambercrombie Neil Young Stephen Stills Al Dimeola...

My Generation, The Who 9/26/69 Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. About 3 minutes of My Generation which then evolves into a 7 minute romp through a medley of Tommy themes. Killer! Sound quality of the recording is A- but the performance is splendiferous.

If they start a download program, that will be AWESOME! Some incredibly classic shows on there!!! A buddy of mine who has a particular interest in Fillmore East reels met with the tape archivist over at WV and got a tour of the place, said they have 2-3,000 reels If they get that show on...

Great story, thanks for taking the time to write it down and pass it along.

Been listning to CSNY 6/6/70 Fillmore East lately and Neil Young's The Loner>Cinnamon Girl>Down By The River medley is freaking awesome! If I remember correctly this is the performance that made it onto the bonus tracks of the 4 Way Street re-issue along with Daivd Crosby's Laughing, also from...

NEIL YOUNG'S LIVE AT MASSEY HALL SET FOR RELEASE MARCH 13TH The 1971 Concert Is The Second Album in Performance Series On January 19, 1971, Neil Young performed at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada. In many ways, this was a major homecoming event. He had left Canada in 1966, soon...

CSNY Fillmore East, NYC 6/6/70 Master Soundboard Reel (mono)>Revox B77 playback>Alesis Masterlink 9600>CD From the run of shows recorded for 4-Way Street...fantastic!

Damn Milkpowder, sweet setup!!!!

I'll join the party. Thanks for your generous offer!

Nick, if you're thinking about sending them to Larry, consider the C-Pads. The Beyer velour pads solve the problem quite nicely, plus you can tune the bass by unplugging the ports, if'un you want to mess with it. I think the C-Pads are a great solution. I have no experience with bowls. Sounds...

I have found the C-Pads from Larry to be very comfortable. That, plus bending the headband to relieve any excessive pressure should do the trick very nicely. Mine have leather ear pads, but I think the velour ones would be even more comfy.

I will also add that my Darth Beyer's were unbelievably, supremely comfortable, and light too. And apart from my old Senn HD480's, which I have owned since time immemorable, I have had no other headphone experience to compare from.

Tisk, tisk. Now Skylab, you have to remove those HF-1's from your list because you Beyer'd them into ultracomfortability. What do ya think of dem apples?!?

Here's my setup. Still a work in progress as I either have to drag a chair over to the headphones or use my current cheapo headphone extention cord to reach the couch (usually the latter)

...and the fun never stops! Thanks for the advise Jahn. I shall dutifully ignore it

LOL Zorrofox! I'll second that emotion!!!

They forgot to mention anything about headphones in that Ecclesiastes quote.
