I'd be very interested in coming, I missed out on Chi-Unify. Equipment: MHDT Constantine USB+ Toaster-style Singlepower MPX3 SLAM Modded Sennheiser HD580s

Spyderco Delica 4 for EDC use.

My first tube amp was a mere 5 months ago. D: LD MKII, purchased roughly 2 weeks after my 18th birthday. I've since made a considerable step up to my SP MPX3 SLAM toaster.

I would go to the HD580 much quicker than I did, and go tubes much quicker than I did.

About one every three months. I think I'm sticking with the HD580s for a while though, I'm loving them more than I can say.

Crazy Train by Black Sabbath. If they had stuck with that initial guitar line, the song would have been twenty times as awesome.

With a semi-reasonable amp, HD580, without hesitation.

"Shevanal, Take 2" by Between the Buried and Me. I've never heard a better-sounding acoustic guitar. Also, the snare drums in "The New Black" by Every Time I Die. I love the impact and snappiness.

Gotta back up the HD580. $150 for sound like this is incredible.

Changed my equipment, my LD is being sold, and I've got a toaster-style MPX3 SLAM coming in. (Aura's, actually. )

I just agreed to purchase Aura's MPX3 Slam toaster. I really cannot wait to get my hands on it.

They're very balanced, even representation across the sound spectrum. Probably more bass than the K701, but it's not at all bloated or sloppy. They just sound... right. Detailed, even, slightly warm, and a very refined presentation. I love mine, and I can't think of a better headphone deal than...

I'll put down as a tentative yes, maybe plus one. (+) Headphones: Senn HD580s (lightly modded) Source: Laptop/ MHDT Constantine+ Amp: Singlepower MPX3 SLAM

The tubes run hot, and will probably burn you if you hold your finger on them. It's just how they're designed.

Very nice. My father's hinted at giving me his Yamaha/Klipsch setup (Which I believe was about $2000 in the late '70s) once I get settled in a place of my own after college. The sound those things can put out is simply phenomenal.

And a slight change since then... They look much better now.

WOO for michigan losing. BOO for Michigan State currently sucking hard against Cal.

nasty hospital food, and a bottle of dr. pepper. Sister's sick. =/

+ $70 Bought some Tung Sol EF95s for my MKII, new HD600 grilles for my HD580s, and a new coaxial cable from bluejeans.

I agree with the others, tubes are the way to go. They really liven up the Senns, which would otherwise be too slow and boring for my tastes.
