Pads alone made huge changes in most Yamaha orthos when I was tweaking them. So just the pad change could be responsible for the difference.

Agreed. Didn't know ya had it in ya HPA.

I came away feeling the same from my trials at CJ10. Though not in leaps and bounds. That most likely has a lot to do with my preference for more neutral amps however. There are certainly some exceptions to the rule IMO, as Al's Pete Millet tube masterpiece sounds fantastic with every headphone thrown at it.

Well I'm of the opinion that Richmond is not the killer.

Any comments on the season finale? I was a bit disappointed that it didn't wrap everything up, but not really surprised. I wonder if next season will be a new case, after this one is resolved?

I guess your speakers would get along great with Graham then.

Don't let him fool you, I've seen him at In and Out burger. Happy Birthday David!

Pffft! Colorado doesn't have bears. Those are more like stocky dogs. Try getting a Kodiak bear out of your driveway. Shooting them just makes them hungry.

Well I guess you would. That requires what exactly, walking out the front door and possibly driving a few miles?

I may be gay, but Ray's "Dark Star" is the last thing I'd want to see!

I could easily see Mikhail making a bomb with tubes, it's just lucky for us that it most likely wouldn't work.

Those will look great on your Pink Miata David!

Awesome!

I recommend sleeping with a lizard.

Happy Birthday!

All this talk of pricks and ass makes me blush.

Great Scott!

I may be, but only because I'm planning on winning the HGTV Green Home in Denver.

Happy Birthday Ben!

I owned KEF C40s and found very little I liked about them. I also think the active monitor route may be right for you Doug. The Paradigm Active 20s I once owned were brilliant, as are the Quads. It's not just a matter of not having to deal with separate amplification that is a bonus, but the fact that the built in amps are tailored to the drivers. A good active monitor will usually out perform the same passive speaker with a really good outboard amp. I forgot to mention that Al's home system with active ATC speakers is one of the best systems I've heard to date.

We discussed it somewhere in great detail on here I thought.

Have a fantastic trip Al! Prague has been high on my list for quite some time.
