JJ Cale's new album, "Roll On" - much as you would expect if you're a fan. He never changes all that much, which I think is a good thing. This one is much better produced than a lot of his early stuff (think 70s). He just keeps rolling on. No doubt about that.

I hear you there, man. I've got all of this stuff already (or am about to order in the case of Smyth and JH but they already have my personalized measurements and ear impressions, respectively, so it's now just a matter of sending the money). I somehow missed the Audeze, but am tempted to order that one just on faith given all of the great reviews by trusted ears.

Same thing with me. They hooked me right away. Although I've never been a cheapskate when it comes to this hobby, I also never could have imagined that I'd EVER order another pair of custom IEMs. My UE 10 Pro are great. What would be the point of getting something else? For whatever reasons, I never understood those who collect custom IEMs. But the JH13 are in another league IMO. Still, it will be wierd having the UE's as a "backup" becuse they're great in their own right - but still outclassed in every way.

It's hard not to when listening to JJ Cale on the HD800s! He's so smooth, man. Saw him in Kansas City in the mid 90s once. It was a small dinner theater type of place with maybe 300 people there at most, and he shows up dressed pretty casually, pulls up a wooden stool and just starts strummin' and singing one song after the other, totally effortlessly just like on his albums. Cocaine, Call Me the Breeze, After Midnight... anyway, new album is called "Roll On" and I'm giving it a thumbs up if you're into that kind of stuff. Much better produced than his early stuff. No grain at all. Of course, the HD800 probably help in that regard.

Fixed it already. I'm quick. Up to nearly 10 posts already. Not even thinking about heeding Dan's automated warning:

No, Vicki. It has to be a whole system! I hate people don't read my posts COMPLETELY!!! Plus, you know how my headphone systems work. Start with 3 racks of granite shelves, then load them up with a bunch of amps and sources, add several coat racks of headphones...

No, Claus is cool. If you had intended Clause, I'd keep it. But since you didn't, I won't.

Doh!!!

Uh, gone already! That's probably better. Claus. Ya, that's it!

I like that "Clause" thing, Dan. Normally Claus, but the lawyer in me appreciates the subtle twist, whether intended or not on your part. Not that there's much lawyer left in me these days.

First bitch. My pic won't show up. It loads in my profile but doesn't show in my avatar.

Oops, I mean $40k. But it has to be a complete system. I've been thinking about downsizing. Any advice? Newbie here. Things seem a little turned upside down here. It might take me a while to adjust and get myself turned right side up, but I'll try. So that's it for my first post. Oh, except to say "Hi, all you mother fuckers and pond scum lickers!" I can say that here, can't I? It was nice talking to some of you at CanJam.
