The trouble with hosting is that you don't get to listen to as many things as you would like and for as long. Thanks for all the detailed impressions from everyone, helps me get a listenlist ready for the next time we meet.
The pay back in my case was that people left stuff here. Especially notable was that Chinchy left almost a whole line of Grados here! Got to check them out for almost a week before he missed them. Really enjoyed the HP-1000's. Thanks, Chinchy for the extended loan! Also thanks for proving to me that very low Bass can be directional, I'll never forget that, fun when "rules of audio" get broken by common sense!
Zep, did you ever resolve your hiss issue?
mikenet: Very nice first post
AyT, hope you keep those R-10's for awhile, definitely would like to get some more listen time on those!
Simon: really would like to do that A-B with you sometime with our old/new MPX3's
NeilPeart, Zoide, raif, blessingx: Not much to say, because you guys say it all and very well.
Still trying to drink up all those sodas you guys left- utep10, we're going for a Patron Anejeo!
