My RS-2's from Headroom arrived. Listened to CSN's Helplessly Hoping. My eyes watered. Enough said.

Need some eye drops then?

Nope, but maybe a tissue or two if these babies start sounding any better.

 

[2deadeyes]

Here's a tissue. Congrats on the RS2 and enjoy.

I'm jealous. I've always wanted an RS1/RS2 out of pure curiosity...

 

[manofmathematics]

I was going to go with RS1, but thought I'd wait until those babies can be better driven, so here are the RS2's. Right now, these are hands down the best that I've heard, but you know the "bug"....it bites hard.

 

[wrecked_porsche]

I would buy an RS1 or an ATH-AD2000 if it were not for one slight problem.
I'm saving up every cent I have for an ATH-L3000. Hope to get it by mid next year...

Enjoy your RS2. They must sound awesome. Go listen to some Alison Krauss and sob tears of joy...

 

[manofmathematics]

Krauss it is. I'm on it. Right after this reguarly scheduled Neil Young break.

 

[goober-george]

Are you listening with an amp? Do they still sound good unamped?

 

[wrecked_porsche]

Post the "results" back here when you're done.

Play either the "Lonely Runs Both Ways" or "Raising Sand" album... dammit, you're making me want an RS1/2 now... crap... I better go to bed now. I'll sleep it off.

 

[manofmathematics]

Running straight out of my X-Fi right now. They sound amazing. Of course, I'm a tube man and am missing that certain "smoothness", but I really have no complaints, dynamic impact is nice, attack and decay very present. Bass needs a bit more control, but of course, one knows how to properly fix that when the time comes.

I'll go with Raising Sand and post some thoughts later.

 

[FlavioWolff]

ouch, I also use a X-Fi
*jealous*

If you buy a used RS1, and then sell it for L3000 later, you will not lose a lot of money, and you can enjoy the RS1 while you wait

Be careful with tubes. You may experience dizziness and light-headedness in combination with the RS-2.

And I would recommend supervision by trained medical personnel for your first time pairing the RS-2 with vinyl.

 

[manofmathematics]

Actually, vinyl is my end goal. Saving for a Scoutmaster and a currently undecided on tube amp. I'm just going to keep the digital on my computer.
