Have you done any listening with the UM2's unamped? I'm getting a set to A/B with my E5's, and I'd like to hear some more impressions of the UM2's unamped. If I like them more, you guys will be seeing some E5C's for sale

yeh i've done most of my listening as i only got my amp back yesterday. the amp improvement is minimal the high end is ever so much clearer. I can only really tell the difference late at night when i'm really concentrating on music. Any other time i couldn't tell the difference. But i have no first hand experience with the E5... i chose the the um2 because i read it had slightly better clarity. To be honest i still find the um2's to be slightly muddy but that is just with foamies i'm waiting on my tri flanges and hope it'll clear up a wee bit

an updated setup. i'm still saving for the sr-71s and maybe the new 325i (they're too beautiful). and still looking to audition better setups here in montreal. come out, come out where ever you are...

imp 550 ----> radio shack interconnect ----> cmoy (built by profingersk8ter) ----> hd 600

edit: i've been having some problems with the amp lately. there is now only music from the left channel...if i pull the interconnect out a bit i can seperate that single channel into both earpieces but i lose all sense of stereo sound. can anyone help?

they do look weird...i guess it's from the sun since i have a huge window in my room and i usually leave them on my bed or on the sofa, both near the window.

but they're still as comfortable as ever and ever since i got the HD 600, i've had the peace of mind that i'm getting relatively good sound and i now find myself immersed and thinking about the music, rather than the equipment...classical has never been a better source of refuge.

funny how i ended up with basicly the same setup i started off with.

don't underestimate the px200. i upgraded the stock cables to canare and it sound very good. i shouldn't have sold off my right angle interconnects, these canare conenctors are huge.

to see pictures of the go-vibe go here. kuddos to norm's excellent workmanship on it.
(those pictures were taken for my sales ad, since i dont have any high quality headphones anymore, but then decided to keep it since its such fine quality. dont make fun of my al dimeola cd.)

if it didnt add ntoicable difference i wouldn't upgrade the cable. more like a big difference to my ears.

the amp doesnt do anything, it wouldeb useful if i had a high impedance cans, but in the pic its just to show off.
