RSVPed Nice to have a bigger venue for AXPONA this year.

A few complaints about the new editor... It's missing a proper "edit source" to use html for complex formatting. BBCode is weaksauce. The textarea isn't freely resizable and its auto-resize seems flaky.

Based on discrepancies in my post count I discovered that 119 have disappeared into the Memory Hole over the years...

I sure picked a bad time to consider poking around here again...

  You mean this thread?   I haven't been active around here lately but I have that thread set to send email alerts and saw your post there first.

I'm in.   Heaphones   Stax SR Lambda Normal Bias Stax SR-207 Sennheiser HD650   Amps   Stax SRM-T1S Objective2 Leckerton UHA-4   DAC   Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

  The Groove's current drive is going to add some extra bass to both of those Senns which you may or may not like.  OTOH, at the price of that bundle you could always sell the Grove if you don't like and not loose any money on the deal.

  You will need speaker amp between the Phonitor 2 and the Woo WEE.   The Woo WEE is an just an adapter that goes between a speaker amp and a Stax electrostatic headphone.  The Woo WEE is not an amplifier itself.  The Phonitor 2 will not be strong enough to power the Woo WEE.by itself either...

  Damn "console" exclusives.   I'm still waiting for them to die or go back to actually being consoles instead of low end PCs.

  I'm not aware of any.   If you're up for a little DIY you could make some yourself though.  I've had good results with Ultrasuede and memory foam pads I've made for my Lambdas.

Should go full on retro and use nixie tubes.    

I heard the X2 briefly at a recent meet and was initially very impressed.  They seemed to have a nice relaxed sound and I thought they’d make a good pair of “rainy day” headphones to use when it was too humid to power up my Stax (or my hair’s just wet from the shower) so I obtained a pair for a...

  Very interesting.  I hope They tighten up the QC as well while they're at it.

  That matches pretty well with my opinion of the HEKs.  After spending some time with them at a couple of meets I decided I preferred my Lambda normal bias.   Although it's heresy around here, I'd say that the main advantage of the HEK is that it gets you fairly close to the sound of a 'stat...

  Grados are about the farthest thing from flat that is somehow still considered hifi.  IMO the HD700 already sounds like a much cleaner Grado.  Besides all that, there are tons of headphones with are much flatter than the HD700 but still have great soundstage.   In headphones, basic changes...

  You might want to rethink that logic a little bit...   Since it's also impossible to compare 2 sounds by playing them at the the same time, that only leaves memory.  If memory is also invalid for comparisons then there's no way left for humans to compare any sounds at all.  Therefore it's...

Maybe if you could come up with a better argument than "Price=Performance" you wouldn't look like a troll.

Do you have anything better to do than troll old threads?

  Yep.  It's like research.   Once I decide on something I can kick back and relax with it though.

Fresh out of the box, the clamp gave me headaches so I did what I had to do.
