Why do I keep forgetting that? The Stealth just sounds so solid-statey (in a good way) even though I see those tubes!

edit- got a fever chill listening to Eruption by Van Halen just now. i think i went a little insane. golly. man these kind of impressions help no one i know, but it's what i'm feelin'!

I can't really quantify it - it's as if the Melos is actually acting like the HP1000 now in approach - when there's a cymbal, you now hear "Hello, I'm a Cymbal." I thought a Maestrobation would just be about a bassy sledgehammer upgrade, but apparently there's more to it! I hope this translates well to a noisy ambient Meet atmosphere!

Huh? What am I missing here? "...spittle rattle in her throat with a bit of chappy lip action... you just fall in love with her all over again,..."

Man, that sounds perverse!

This is what I was refering to when I said holy bass

Got them for movies and gaming. I watched The Rock (Criterion) DVD last night and woah!

Seems like whenever I'm on vacation is when the curse hits hardest.

Also planning a new DAC and power amp for the K1000.

Oh and the most über of headphones is in transit to me right now

HP-1000???

 

[Jahn]

Congrats on the Bassmeisters, J-Pak! Yeah, they are great movie cans, with good isolation and soundstage and positioning but most importantly BBAAAAAASSSS!

For the days you can't slap on the K1000s, the DT770s should do right by you

And I wonder what the uber can is too - could be the HP2, since it was up on ebay this week...

J-Pak --

What amp are you using with the 770s?

Right now just straight out of my Audiophile USB headphone amp. Oh and also used at night out of the home theater receiver (Yamaha HTR-5280). It has a nice one, it can even drive the K1000 to listening levels. I would say it's on par with a cmoy.

It has better bass out of the receiver.

I'm thinking of getting a PA2V2 to bring out the bass even more!! Muhahaa
