Probably, but there was nothing I could have done about it.

Isn't that illegal?

I hope you didn't let your new owners plug in that balanced cable.

 

[Danz03]

Depends on where he plugs it into ;-D

Any orifice...er, input will do, eh?

I brought a Bryston BHP-1 and paired it with the T1 on balanced output, it was the best I have heard with the T1 givng it a rawness and soundstage that the SPL Phonitor and Pioneer U05 failed to bring out.

  Thank you, gentleman, for your somewhat straight-faced responses to my tongue-in cheek comments (I was really just having a bit of fun with words); I'll take your observations and recommendations on board. I should perhaps have mentioned that I'm 68, which means my time is limited not merely in terms of the hours in the day. I also suffer from tinnitus, which will further limit the time I have left for the enjoyment of music. Consequently I'll probably stick with my favourites.
 
As for Eddie Van Halen's virtuoso guitar prowess, it's no doubt a wondrous thing, but as it happens I detest the sound of the electric guitar; to these ears it ranks just below bagpipes. I'm also not a fan of singers of either gender. To me the greatest instrument in the world is the symphony orchestra, and I feel no particular compunction to stray from it into more popular fields. There is, after all, an almost limitless repertoire of recorded works for the symphony orchestra.
 
I know I'm incorrigible, but there it is. Spank me.

B - The greatest musical instrument in the world is the human voice. After that the violin.

The computer is the greatest musical instrument!! You just have to get down with some good Deadmau5. Otherwise you'll age prematurely if you listen to classical music too much. You don't want people to mistake you for really old dudes do you?

 
I wish I could like Opera, I swear it's true, but I can't last more than 5 minutes without wanting to turn it off. I know Opera is an enormous genre so perhaps I haven't been exposed to the right material? I also have a hard time listening to a language I don't speak so that doesn't help. There must be English productions to try? Maybe if they could get a few really hip people doing so scratching for part of the Opera score that would help.

Anywhere that someone not from Asia could buy and get them shipped from? Any of these still out there for sale?

 

[Nikonkit]

I still can see them in the shops in HKG last week, should be able to get them brand new for under US $1300

Any word on if these are sonically identical to the 2nd gens?
