Actually I go back to the days before the Internet was the Internet (Usenet was the communication medium back then).
 
Still bugs me when people seem to have the need to make themselves seem more important by dissing others without cause. I have the same issue on Head-Fi from time to time.
 
I consider myself properly chastened...

a lot of people really like the Cavalli CTH with the thunderpants..
 
I would suggest putting part of your budget towards a dac as well. I've heard good things about the gamma 2. 
 
haven't heard any of this though

 

[sbradley02]

This is a bit above your price point but it is an awesome amp

Thanks for the input. I do have some really good DACs (MHDT Havana/Cambridge 840C..)
Looks like these days all roads lead to Cavalli

Anyone have photos of TPs w/ LCD2 pads?
 
Smeggy rated them highly in group buy thread and as such on the list I put them in as my pad choice.  But I've never seen a photo, just want to make sure they're not too ungainly 

 

[Br777]

the cans in the 2nd post of this thread have stax pads, is that what you meant?  also known as O2 pads?  i dont think lcd-2 pads would fit on TP's

 

[Radio_head]

They do fit on them, per Smeggy.  Havent seen a pair with them on though.

 

[bobeau]

I do mean the LCD-2 pads.  From the group buy thread:
 
 

Of the pads I've been investigating I can give the following...
Stax. Good isolation, very comfortable, good sound +, decent soundstage, very expensive.
LCD2 rev1 pads. Very good isolation, good comfort, very good sound, good soundstage +, moderately expensive.
LCD2 rev2 pads. visually a little different, sonically about the same to my ears, so as good as the Rev1.

Ack!
oh man.... 

Ok, pads, the Stax pads are still the most comfy of them all which for some is the deciding factor, also, they still sound extremely nice. The Audeze pads are a little bigger but not ridiculously so. The phones look fine with them so no need to worry about looks.

I'm slowly but surely working on my modified T50RPs here: http://www.diyaudioblog.com/2011/09/modifying-fostex-t50rp-headphones.html
 
Hopefully I'll be done in the next couple of weeks

I was wondering if anybody know what cabling smeggy uses in his Thunderpants, or if he has options?  I didn't see anything on his site.  Thanks.

 

[Radio_head]

I think he keeps them standard, but offers termination options.

From the group buy thread:

I standardized on a good quality Mogami which is strong, flexible and non microphonic.
