My English is not good enough to understand what you are saying.
Can you please explain a little bit?

 

[oxymoron08]

So with my shiney new purchase, would the Meier Areitta (spelling?) be a good match with the DT 770 80ohms?

The Arreita is the top of my price range so no talk of Graham Slee solo or others

Yes I can. What I wrote is very similar to this: If the barber only shaves people who don't shave themselves, who shaves the barber? The only difference is I substituted “a flippantly gratuitous comment” for the barber.

English is my primary language, was my course of study in college and has been my career for the past 30 years...and I have no idea what you're talking about.

Thank you Tim....

This:

Tim: Got a decent receiver or integrated amp in the house? Got a credit card with a good limit? Find vendors with liberal return policies, order HD600, DT880, DT990 and K701. Listen to them all and send back the losers. Then start looking for an amp based on the needs of the headphones you keep. Tim

Provoked this:

Tiemen: hmmm, how about ethics?

Tim: If the vendor's policy is 30-days to return for a refund, no questions asked, I don't see an ethical problem. I'm not suggesting that they be returned for false reasons. There are plenty of vendors out there who take the returns for no more reason than it is within 30 days of the purchase. They save a great amount of overhead and reach a much larger customer base by operating without storefronts all over the world where people can audition the products they sell. Part of the cost of reaching such a large market so efficiently is the small inefficiency of a liberal return policy. They know exactly what they're offering with a 30 day, no questions asked return policy, and they know that some people are actually going to take advantage of it.

Leading to this:

Tiemen: hmmm, how about ethics?

wae5: This is a flippantly gratuitous comment that just so happens to be self referential.


Which provoked this:

Tiemen: My English is not good enough to understand what you are saying. Can you please explain a little bit?

And this response:

wae5: Yes I can. What I wrote is very similar to this: If the barber only shaves people who don't shave themselves, who shaves the barber? The only difference is I substituted “a flippantly gratuitous comment” for the barber.

And this too:

Tim: English is my primary language, was my course of study in college and has been my career for the past 30 years...and I have no idea what you're talking about.

And finally this:

Tiemen: Thank you Tim....

All I wanted is for you to be friends.

I asked a question, Tim gave a satisfying answer. That's all......

that would be the HD580 instead of the HD595, with HD580(=HD600) being better... all those confusing numbers

anyway... OP, good thing you've bought the dt770's, now listen to them a lot, see what you like/don't like so you know what you want in your next purchase and then listen some more.

If you stick around long enough, they won't be confusing, they become second nature.

Yeh hehe

Im thinking of getting the graham slee solo now, well in a few months.

I heard they have "synergy" (is that a marketing gimmick?) with Senns.

I would like to thank head-fi.org for totally ruining my plans to save for a house. 3 weeks ago I didn't even know there were such things as "headphone amps".

Now I have gone from searching for reviews of the Goldring DR150's to getting a pro-ject amp. Now im looking at £200 headphones and at least 2 of them, and now a £333 Graham slee amp.

BASICALLY, I HATE HEAD-FI.

 

[wrecked_porsche]

Welcome to the club. I came here looking for reviews of the Senn HD201. Look where I ended up.

sounds so familiar, and I don't even know why I first came here anymore.

Then I went to listen in our local store, and now I want them all, I'm just lucky they didn't have de stax and only less expensive grado's, though they taste like more...

And the ironic thought is that the title of this thread is:

"Im totally confused by it all, keep going round in circles"
