Some good stuff in here everybody! I've been away from head-fi for a while but thought id pop back in and see whats new :D   Been getting neck deep in photography lately and thought id share some of my recent stuff! Everything is HDR except the last two shots.   I shoot with a 60D and a...

Nice interview Jude 

I've got the older ad2k and it is amp picky IMO. It sounded good out of the CTH i had but it was hard to find a tube that wasn't noisy on the ad2k. The p-51 from RSA sounds the best of what i've tried (CTH with multiple tubes, Objective 2, headphone out of the HK3490 receiver at home, all fed by...

Love the stick figure on the vol knob!  Quote:

Just checking back in.    After a few weeks with the AD2000 and the AD900x it is safe to say the ad900x will be finding a new home soon. The difference is not huge but I like the AD2000 more. I guess it's not that suprising.... In the end I found the ad2k to have a more emotional less dry...

Excellent transplant Armaegis! I hope the damping process treats you well :)

Yup that is IM, the song  you linked is "project 100". Their new album army of mushrooms is pretty good. My favorite all time song from IM is "Dancing with Kadafi" off of their BP empire album, listen to that one for sure. I'm always surprised when I mention infected mushroom and hardly anyone...

These definitely open up after some good hard play time with something like infected mushroom or pendulum. Or any heavy electronic music you have in your library. Play them at levels on the verge of uncomfortable for at least 50 hours (IMO) to hear a change for the better in the high end and a...

Quote: Nope, didn't try that, I will tonight. I ran across your transplant when you first posted it, nice work! 

Yep just the old ad2k ;) you could say the ad900x is more fun. They are both an AT sound that is for certain. The things I pointed out can pretty much be gathered by reading up on them both but I thought I just jot it down in one post. 

Hey everyone,    So I picked up the ad900x from the post today. I've got maybe 4 hours of listening time on them. I listened to them at work and then got home and listened for a bit at home before switching to the ad2000.   After i switched to the ad2k i noticed less bass presence, more...

I'll just leave this here. Watch to see what headphones she uses and if she puts them on right...    http://www.hulu.com/watch/447189

I ordered an ad900x to compare with my old model ad2000 non "X" model. Hopefully it gets here soon! I really like the ad2k so it should be a fun comparison. I'll post when i've had some time to compare.   Cheers,   ~M

Quote: They are both really small! I still sometimes stare at it while listening wondering  how it can do what it does...   Quote: Thank you! It's really growing on me.    Also it has been going for more than 50 hours on the first charge!!! insanity.   ~M

Quote: Agreed, I put it in my pocket just like my keys on my way out the door for work every day. My CTH just sold, it's official, this is my main rig and I feel good about it! Out of all the gear I've ever owned this rig is the most versatile and practical(for me).    Cheers,    ~M

Portable as in goes back and forth between home and work (ad2k stay home, paradox at work) :D   Good looking rigs up in here!   Cheers,   ~M    

Been listening to the odac through a p-51 mustang for a few days now. I think it is an excellent pairing, it goes well with the RSA house sound. Never harsh, loads of beautiful bass, and mids to lust over. Here is a picture to show how well they stack :)    Cheers,   ~M        

That was the first amp I ever bought for headphones! Your post reminds me of the picture from back in the day of the hd201 plugged into a redwine setup. #roughingit at the casa 'de MT.

Damn, I would get put on the next page right after I post the looking up emoticon... leaving it...

mmmmmm, pretty Leben 

I'd definitely call that gathering of gear high end... Nice setup!
