He knows a deal when he sees one. The guy was asking $200 Canadian for the 325's....that's about $127 U.S.

 

[Tim D]

Yah definitely...I was like...oh crap thats a good deal...than I saw joe's name and already knew it was over.

Hmmm first jude gets a steal on a duplicate pair of HD600's and joe gets a steal on a duplicate pair of SR-325's.

 

[Flumpus]

Is it really only that much? Hot damn! Go joe!

 

[dhwilkin]

Oh, really? Wow, nice... still, I think joe has some sort of sixth sense when it comes to searching out Grados.

 

[KR...]

Never bloody mind then, you go Joe!

 

[jude]

joelongwood was faster on the draw on that deal, that's for sure. Had I seen that, there'd be some Canadian SR-325's headed my way!

 

[thomas]

And the cheapest price you'll find them in Canada is almost $600 CDN after tax

I wonder if there is a price typo happening there... 150 bucks for an audio cd that is not limited and not signed by the artists?

maybe a typo... I wonder if there is a copy of this floating around the wonderful cyberspace

[davidcotton]

I wonder if Judes tried this already

Even I am not going to fall for that one, (yes I know everyones questioning my sanity, but at least the other lot offer a money back guarantee if it doesnt work

)

Jan Meier has suggestions for burn-in on his site... Use bass-heavy music at progressively increasing volumes, for about 24 hours. If you don't have any bass-heavy CDs, I guess you can walk out to the street, stop the first duh-m-bass car and ask for one

Sixth sense, nothing! It's a lot of damned hard work!!

But just so you guys don't think I've really gone over the edge, I'll tell you why I picked them up...............I knew JMT was looking for a good deal on some 325s and when I spotted them last night, I figured he might want them, but I didn't want to lose them, so I got them fast, just in case. I've since contacted JMT and those 325s will be doing a lot of traveling from Canada to NY to California. See......I'm really not that crazy. Now if another pair of HP-1s showed up..........

 

[coolvij]

aaaaawwwwww man. $127!? Even I could've afforded that....lol

Aw, come on joe. Don't you want to keep up that mystique for the newbies?

I had to laugh at his one because I actually own one of these things. I bought it from a fellow at the same time as I bought his Wadia transport and Krell DAC. I laughed at this when I first heard about it, but then I tried it on my system. Now I laugh for a different reason.

Actually, what I noticed was that after I played the disc according to the instructions, the music did seem to play against a blacker background of silence. When I got my HD-580's, I tried it again and it did take that somewhat steely edge (common in new equipment) off. I suppose it works, but there is no way in hell it is worth $150 (I paid $20, and I guess I'm OK with that).

The disc may very well be coded with some kind of copy protection, and the booklet that comes with it goes on and on about why the thing costs so damn much, but I think it reeks too much of hype to be believable.

I'd recommend this to anyone who is after that absolute ultimate in tweak-ness and who has already done a great deal to help out the homeless or underpriveledged children in their area, but still has a wad of cash left.

Are you talking about Jude again?
