With an Apogee, you can connect it via FireWire.

You know, I kinda liked the silver with purple knobs. Now that we're talking about it, I do miss mine (though not as much as ECD 1).

Ah, I see. Speaking of Grado, they were working on at one point on some attachments that made their cans effectively closed cans. I'll see if I can dig up the promotional paper that mentioned about that. I really wouldn't mind having a closed pair of cans with Grado sound.

As for the GS-1000 doppleganger, I believe those are surround prototype cans from long while back.

Same experience here. They've always sounded nice to me at meets (where I have to crank up the volume) but not so much when I sit down and listened to them at home. As for ear ringing, I personally would wait to listen to headphones till it goes away (and see a specialist about it if it doesn't go away).

Congrats on your new toy!

I've been wanting to try them for some time since I've been looking for a pair of closed cans, but their current going price is wee bit insane.

FYI , United Home Audio Products is the only US dealer I know for Ergo headphones. I don't know exactly how much a new pair costs, though, since I bought mine used.

Not buying any - just curious about quad pots. Besides that thing costs as much as some amps.

Aside from Alps RK-50, are there any quality quad potentiometers? I'm just curious if there are any others out there.

Found the thread. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37079

I remember reading in some old threads on HF that using Harrison Labs' attenuators degraded sound qualities, I've personally never used them, however. I'll see if I can dig up those threads. EDIT - and IIRC, it was a post by Hirsch that convinced me not to get them.

Good point.

The transport looks real nice, Nate - and it's a top-loader to boot! I wish I was getting a new source, too.

Agreed.

My girlfriend and I went to see it yesterday. We both though it was terrible as well. Thankfully, we went to a matinee showing so we only had to shell out an arm for the tickets.

I think it's Lavry Gold, if I'm not mistaken.

The first time I ordered an amp from Mikhail, it came in bit later (week or two) than the estimated time of delivery he gave me when I ordered the amp. When I subsequently had to send the amp back in for a repair and a minor upgrade, it came back within a month. This was about an year or two ago, though. I have a custom amp that I ordered sometime late last year that I'm waiting for, though some of the delays were due to my stupidity.

I should have one coming in from him sometime soon(ish) as well.

I think you guys saved me some money. Thanks.

Ah, got it. Hmmm, choices, choices.

Nate and thrice, thanks for the info. Now, is there any sonic benefit for 6 channel balanced configuration over 4 channel configuration?

Thanks, Iron_Dreamer. Your impression gives me some reference for B22 since I used to own an upgraded Balanced Reference. I wonder how much it would cost to have a balanced B22 built. LOL.

Iron_dreamer - how does B22 compare to your Balanced Reference?
