Hey everyone, I just found this thread. Super neat to see so many old head-fiers still around :)

I've been listening to my Solaris for almost 2 weeks now and have been thoroughly enjoying rediscovering to my music collection. It's extremely well rounded with any genre I throw at it. I've followed this thread since its inception and love reading all the initial impressions. One thing I'm...

I have a copy of Amarra 4 Luxe and gave it a week on my work Mac before giving it up. It feels like an alpha software build -- not ready for primetime. At least on my machine, it had a number of problems: 1) It would regularly hang/crash at random times -- on startup, during playback, when...

I just got mine today from TTVJ for my work computer + Denon AH-D2000s. Coming from using the headphone out of my laptop dock to this is pretty much the best thing ever. I had my headphones on all day, much to the chagrin of everyone trying to talk to me. They should know better than to come...

i'd recommend the 225s. they sound fabulous amplified, and fabulous out of the jack of a portable. if i had an excuse to get another headphone...man...the 225s would be way up there.

buy lots of q-tips! i use foamies, and if you don't keep your ears squeaky clean, you'll clog it up very quickly. if anything, etys will improve your hygiene...i'd even go so far as to say etys are as vital to health as the toothbrush.

total airhead roxors! it's a killer mini amp.

I used to own a pair of 501s. One of the wonderful things about this headphone is its ability to sound good at low volumes -- just as detailed and resolving as at higher volumes. This is something that I can't say the HD600 (sorry, have never owned a 580) does as well. The 600 gets better as you...

it's been a long time since i upgraded my system, so i took the plunge and purchased an hd650. out of the box, it's a fantastic sounding headphone. my hd600 is currently at sennheiser being fixed for an intermittency problem, but as soon as i get them back, i'm looking forward to doing a...

woohoo...finally got some new music! verve remixed 2 the durutti column - someone else's party radiohead - hail to the thief michael franti and spearhead - everyone deserves music natacha atlas - something dangerous

who says it can't be?

returns!

i'll think about it.

i recently purchased the Athena Point 5 system for our HT. i'm very pleased with its performance, especially since i wasn't given much $$$ to work with. the only weakness i see is with the 8" sub; however, again, for the price, it's hard to complain. $550 for all 6 speakers, which include...

Fred, It's great to hear you're doing well. You're an amazing resource to the community, and an incredible person. I hope you can get outta that hospital and into your home as soon as possible! That's an order!
