Surely you listened whenever you wanted to during that time. I burn in with a long queue of my albums so it is kind of cool to pick something up and see what is playing.. .sometimes I just start listening to that ... or, I might choose something else from the queue.

Pretty tempted by the Hifiman XX. But, I have no idea how the X V2 sounds like since they're pretty close according to FR graphs.

Of course no way I couldn't pick up and check once in a while.
my experience with the re600 V2 was similar to barondla with the gl2, I honestly thought omg these were nearly 400 originally! But I read one review that said 200 plus hours so just kept burning and trying until eventually after about 2/3 weeks burning whilst at work they started to settle and open up....looks like it may be the same ride again.

Well, now... seeing that I am sad not to be there. I thought the place was going to be huge but you are as close as when I saw him at the old Ann Arbor Ark when it was just 150 seats. But.. we did have seats. I don't think I can ever again stand for an entire show.

Who was the first act?

Dont know much about these electoistats but interesting

I'll let you know how those ESP/95X sound in Feb. Told everyone I'd already spent into next year. Did hear a set of 950 on a Stax amp at a mini Head-Fi meet.

 

[barondla]

I have the basic Stax package and really like them

HungryPanda, great Stax set up. I need your Stax amp for the Koss. There is an adapter cable to allow them to plug in.

Don Antonio Band was the first band and believe it or not were Alejandro Escovedo's backing band. An Italian band that yes rok hooked him up with on his latest album. Highlight of the night was The Only Ones Peter Perret and John Perry joining them on stage. Punk Rock, Hard Rock & Jazz Rock erupted

My Shozy BK (Stardust) arrived yesterday. Oh my! This sounds fantastic! I had pretty high expectations, and they've been met (and exceeded).

The sound signature sits comfortably between my two favorite headphones, HD650 and SR325e, with favored sound characteristics from each of them.

I'm not one to spend money on fancy cables, but WOW! that's a really great braided cable!

Hahaha, the Xbox one is pretty cheap here. I've been seeing so many deals for them. I think they're not doing well in the Aus market.

Tell me about getting new cans... After going for the Hi-fi convention the other day, I can't stop thinking of upgrading... But I got hooked on speakers. And that's even more expensive.
