ultimately, I love the 24-70 and 14-24, the nikon counterparts are better. I just don't have the money right now for both of those, along with a d700. Hell, I think 17-55 would be great too. I just happen to pick up the 16-85 because it came with the body for only 1829 from B&H. So I have an...

Dj mocok has a running joke of posting really bad shots in this thread. Look back on all his picture posts and you will see what I mean. However, if you check his gallery, he has some nice shots. Its real night and day.

looks like peter has 'L' fever. Also i think its unfair to compare a $400 sigma lens to $1200 'L' canon lens

nope its a 725B head/tripod combo. I plan on getting a BH-1 and Gitzo combo later down the line.

Hmm let me try going back to settings. It seems default on the forums goes to do not subscribe. *edit: got it to work! I set it to no email notification. thanks

the lite audio dac 60 is a tube dac. Have you tried rolling tubes?

the singlepower website hasn't been updated in years. There was a 'press release' of sort in the mall-fi section. However i think we lost it when head-fi crashed.

interesting, I noticed a headphone out jack. Its got still competition from the likes of lavry,benchmark, and oritek although those are SS designs.

bass helps you feel the music. Just like at a concert. Its a state of being where bass isn't a regularly experienced thing unlike vocals and 'most' of sound spectrum. I love Hip hop and techno, a lot of the 'musicality' comes from the beats pounding your chest( or in our case eardrums). I been...

i plan on getting 50mm prime lens the cheap one for like 80 bucks and one telephoto in the $700 early 08'. I have other hobbies like head-fi where my money will be going so im not really concerned about the lastest and greatest in photography, its way down on the list.

is it worth it to spend the extra $150 bucks to get an xti over a regualar xt? i plan on keeping the body for a long time like +3 years and maybe upgrading to whatever is next up at the time like x0D body. Right now i think new a new xt can be had under $500 and the xti is like $680 with their...

audio technica es-7 she'll love the good sound, small size and chrome looks.

i know the links have been rearranged but are the threads gone? anyone know the real links?

im still waiting for the HD300? to come into production. I got to hear the prototype at the marin meet a while back. A great baby ZD for only $800 (price etimated at the time)

i myself have the same tendencies. I love gear related hobbies. Wether it be paintball,PC gear, or hi fi audio etc. etc. At one point i was just like whatever, no more deficit spending. I hate giving away money. I feel like all those interest charges are as such. I dont spend nearly as much as i...

as i a big 'A' series fan, im going to have to pass with it only its 900 designation. Why? because at $300 the a900ltd or a950ltds are a great sounding can for the price. However im not paying the extra price just for Titanium + limited edition status. I really wish AT would release a new...

theres not alot in that price range, i think the beresford or zhalou 2.5a with the headphone amp upgrade. However, i dont know of the performace of either. Another option would be to go for the original master for <$200 and an entech number cruncher off of ebay.

This is kinda in response to Boomana's thread about portables not being able to power the 701/650 properly. I was thinking about criteria about recommendation on amps. Usually its someone maximizing their budget on their headphone like a 701 because everyone raves how good it is. As a stopgap...

im interested in more impressions. It seems you wanted to try polar opposites. Not only balanced vs single ended, but also all tube vs all SS.
