Thanks for the great suggestions everyone (and offer Alex). Didn't know about the MH40 and forgot about the 7520 (which I've heard once briefly at CAS - with HAP-S1 - and liked). Would be curious of your experiences with the B&Ws Jacob. Michael I think your and my ears are pretty similar on the HD580/ER4S front, but I seem the one of the few that doesn't love the K550s. Its boxy/reflective sound gets to me (rather deal with the flat staging of the HD25-1 II). In fact I forgot I had a pair as I packed them away after a couple weeks. Giving them another shot and have them on my head now. Will give more thoughts to NAD, Sonys and new models too like the PM-3 and maybe even EL-8 closed, though I guess I now need to consider occasional thieves walking past again. And for the associates - for the foreseeable future likely using using a GO720, though I could switch to something better (DLIII + DSHA-1, Pulse Xfi + LPS, etc.?) if I'm not too lazy to pack away a larger rig each night.

Paint Drying (2009), Watching Paint Dry (2013), or Prince Avalanche (2013)?

Its arc moved waaay too slowly for me. That's way it always seemed like decoration.

Resurrecting the thread. Gave up a shared office today (with a rather bitter, chatty guy who's fun, but impossible to get work done around) and moving to a cube for the first time in a while. Thus my HD580s are no longer going to cut it. Will use IEMs occasionally, but need something I can put on/pull off often. HD25-1 IIs are fine, but would love for something better. Anything new to consider (besides earlier mentioned in thread)? Out of the loop in the closed world.

Pick up that Lazaretto Ultra LP. That would hook anyone.

First couple episodes of Transparent. Just as good as everyone says.

Vipassana again.

Skip them. They make your channels sound reversed.

Interesting.

It's a sale on refurbs in an email just sent out. Not sure how to get the actual sale prices.

BTW, the Emotiva XPS-1 Phono Pre is currently $100 on the warehouse sale.

Only if you need stereo.

Besides the price, keep in mind practicalities. I like the don't worry about them/hands-off base Regas over more tweakable base Pro-jects, Music Halls, etc. for that reason. Still miss my RP1.

Texas being the Center of the Universe sounds fishy when Ohio clearly has the Center of the World. Guess it's possible.
