I really liked it.

  Quote:   Glad they weren't my thing at the time. A little too pricey for a 5751. 

  Quote:   I have to agree. The Sylvanias I had were more refined but the GE TMBP had more punch to it. I preferred the dynamic range of the GE and that's why I sold off the Sylvania. Luckily the Ear+ HD only needs one tube. Pretty inexpensive to tube roll. 

  Quote:   My v2 wires have not cracked after use for more than 3 years. It was the right angled connector that gave way though. On a brighter note, just received my tracking number from Heather for my new pair. 

No problem, glad to be of help. However, I still find Tubeworld's prices a little steep I don't remember paying more than $40 for my triple mica black plate when I bought it from eBay. Although your results may vary since it's hard to discern the quality when you purchase from eBay, so Tubeworld...

For what it's worth I'm listening to the MAD Ear+ HD as well with the RS-1 and my tube is the 5751 GE black plate triple mica. I can't remember whether it's the D getter or the U getter because it's been so long since I've bought that tube (I think it was back in 2009). To my ears it sounded...

I received the same email as well. Hope everything clears up.

Quote: I did send them a mail after they charged me inquiring about my order status unfortunately they have yet to reply and I have a bad feeling they won't.

Quote: I sure hope this issue is resolved quickly. The Atrio have been my favourite pair of in-ears for around 3 years now and they recently died on me. Used the coupon at Atrio.me to get a replacement and it would suck if it takes so long to deliver. I'm sending it to a friend in the...

Germany.

Bought one yesterday.

Wow. That's a real work of art.

^ Completely agreed.

Grado RS1 If you listen to both briefly, you will definitely find them quite similar. Although after longer periods, you will realise there are some areas of each headphone that really make them differ.. I will never mistake one for the other. I'll start with the ESW10. It's a very good...

Agreed.

Nay. They just sounded too closed in and plasticky for my liking.

CD and ALAC.

Happy birthday!

I prefer the Sansa Clip over my iPod Video.

You just rip an SHM-CD normally into lossless, it's fine. And you can only rip the CD layer of an SACD, not the SACD layer. No idea regarding the second question.

There's the new Massive Attack album Heligoland. I'm loving it.

Bowls for my RS-1. Never really stuck with the sound of flats.

I've owned my pair for about half a year now, and I used to have the iQube for it. I sold it off after I realised they sound pretty darn good on their own. I still regularly use them out of my iPod/laptop headphone jack and they still sound great. I don't think they need to be amped much. Even...
