I was reading the June 2001 issue of Hi-Fi News and came across a quote that was quite interesting. Ken Kessler was reviewing the Lamm ML2 power amp and was comparing the Lamm amp with the Trilogy RC211 amp.

What the Lamm does, which no amp - not even the Trilogy - seems to manage is to disappear entirely, and to retrieve low-level detail better than any non-headphone-based listening system I can name.(And if you wonder why I said it like that, you've never heard a top-flight CD player directly feeding a Stax energiser and cans.)

I just thought that was a powerful statement for a reviewer to make.

As though I didn't want to buy a set of Stax Omegas enough already. That is indeed a cool quote for a headphone enthusiast to come across in a magazine. I find that most audiophiles I know have never heard a very good headphone rig.

Cool quote. It's very true, in a world where audiophiles are rare, headphone audiophiles are practically the stuff of legend. Hmm, I like that description!

The Stax Omega II is my next major headphone-buying goal. Won't reach it for a few years, but that's OK.

Have you just created a new custom title for yourself? I like that one!

Did that serve any purpose other than to make yourself look ridiculous?
 
Maybe you found the image on Google, thought it was witty and maybe if you used it you would look witty too?

lol. It must be inane and not significantly contribute

What!? Why would you bump a 10 year old thread?
