Dude, that was 2005! I don't have copies of pictures I took of a headphone stand 9 years ago! Please stop PMing me about it.

Quote:   Have we met somewhere else? Your writing style seems awfully familiar.

Quote: Thanks Don. I sometimes route my two active subs into the mix (they sit right under my desk). That gives the K1000 bass, and visceral bass at that. Get too far away though, and things start to sound strange.     Quote: X-tra moist was the general theme of this meet...

Quote: I know what you mean. I use that word for lack of a better term. I suppose that if classical were my main music interest, stats would be the clear choice, but it's not, and I can get pretty close as far as detail is concerned in my rig. I've decided I want more of a fun...

Quote: While I readily admit that the K1000 is not a headphone for the masses, and I have no issue with educated critisism of my system (every system has some trade offs, and mine is no exception), I must say that this is the very first time I've heard anyone call the K1000 mids recessed...

Quote: Excuse me Capt. Speculation, but I think that combo price is very good. As for the BHSE, I've never known of anyone who has heard it that has not been very impressed at the least.

Now someone post some pics! :)

I for one really liked the venue. I liked having the different rooms and the vast, spaces. Great gear, great people! Al, great to see you again, it's been too long and I always enjoy our conversations, even when we disagree. Your rig really looks sweet buddy!   Special thanks to...

I'll be heading up to Pflugerville tomorrow morning, so I'll have time to pick up any snack stuff needed as well, or I'm plenty happy to just chip in, either way works for me.  

Putting OII pads onto Thunderpants is a relatively easy task. I had no problem doing so to my old pair. I can give you some pointers Saturday if you like.

Yes, I have a Buffalo II DAC. It has balanced and SE outputs. Coaxial RCA, Coaxial BNC, Toslink And Balanced AES/EBU inputs. It also has volume control via a Volumite and a built in Mini³ amp.

Quote: AKA Ed McMahon :D    

Cool. I've been interested in the L1s since Tyll's review as well. They'll give me a chance to check out the Mini³ that's built into my new DAC too.

Quote: My amps have 4 pin female XLR connections only, but I'll bring all of my various adapter cables so that you can try them on all the various amps available. I have been wanting to hear the LCD-2 on my β22 for some time now, so glad you're bringing them.  

Quote: Almost certainly Al.  Al is talking about luvdunhill, who is an incredible DIY builder and all around fun guy. Not sure what things he may be bringing. It's hard to keep up with his latest stat amps, but most likely that and 007s.   You'll have to come check out the corner...

The K1000 is not the best headphone in meet conditions, as you can imagine. But if there's a quiet moment, it can be fun to hear a headphone with somewhat speaker like qualities. After years of trying many, many phones, these are the ones that do just about everything right for me. But isolation...

Quote: I can stack just about everything, except maybe the CD spinner, as it's a top loader, so I'll try not to take up too much valuable space. Yeah, the F5 was actually started a few years back, but had a few issues that just recently were resolved by luvdunhill. It's a really nice...

Too late for stragglers?   Will be in Pflugerville helping a friend with his speaker project anyway.   I could bring...   AKG K1000 Balanced β22 with dual σ22 power supply DIY PASS F5 (with K1000 front panel output) Twisted Pear Audio balanced Darwin source selector Twisted...

There's no way that the HE-6 damaged the amp because it didn't have enough power to drive the headphones.   The β22 has more than enough power on tap to drive the HE-6, as well as every other headphone on the market. I drive the K1000 with mine, and have ample power on hand.   There is a...

  Quote: I could convert an apple into an orange with a little spray paint and some carving, but it wouldn't be a true orange.   You can't make a true balanced signal from a single ended signal. You can create a pseudo balanced signal, but it's not a true balanced signal. For a...

  Quote: Poorly?   Seriously, some of you really need to read up on exactly what balanced is and what the benefits/drawbacks might be.   I have a fully balanced home system. I like having the extra power that a dual mono, balanced amp can provide for my K1000, and I like not...

  Quote: Quote: Nat and Namin mak good pointz.   I had Fitz convert two Darkvoice 336i amps to monoblock balanced amps, one for left and one for right. Balancing the volume pots on those larger home amps was a PITA, so much so that once I finally dialed them in I no...

I brought up WWII because it was a time when people were willing to do without items for the war effort. You just don't see that kind of willingness to sacrifice today. I have no desire for war or talk of war itself. And I didn't intend to state that the Forum was an American entity. I stated...

My point, obviously lost on you, is that we are becoming unwilling to have patience for anything anymore. Yes the world has become a much faster place, but I hardly think that allowing for time to properly build a pair of IEMs is anything we can't find our way to do. If not, maybe some of the...

midoo1990 I think you're to be commended for showing us the real you. It makes it so much easier for me to make note never to conduct any business transaction with you. Many times you never find out what an unrealistic customer is like until it's too late.   FWIW I think JH Audio has great...
