Wow!

I'm confused, are we still talking about the 5 month old?

Understood. And I sure didn't mean to sound like I was aiming my negative comment your way. I'm all for posting what's out there and, letting us make up our minds about it. My comment was meant toward the original item. I guess I still believe in comedic boundaries, as I can certainly see how many would be greatly offended. That does spark a great debate though...How does one determine what borders should or should not be crossed?

Some things do not become funny, even after the passing of time IMO.

Yep. It seems as though they used an oil or wax finish. I would most likely deconstruct them to apply a sturdier finish. Probably a multi coat Tung oil based finish. That would also allow me to copy the wood housing with one from Ebony, Cocobolo or something a bit more unique.

More than I had hoped. I now will need to compare my dBel84 tuned, N_Maher cabled, smeggy created, Macassar Ebonied Thunderpants, before making my final decision. I imagine it's safe to assume there will be at least one pair at CJ?

My neck hurts just looking at it. Although when I was young it wouldn't have bothered me at all.

I'm with Carl!

Naaman, I'm trying to procure you a set of Curly Koa TPs, but smeggy is being awfully evasive. Seriously though Gary, those are going to be fantastic!

FIFY

That didn't sit idle for long! That will be a gorgeous pair of TPs. Are those Naaman's?

300B FTW! You can use it with the K1K too.

Yearner, except my top leg is always fully bent at the knee, kind of like an outrigger.

I have a pair of balanced Luminous Audio passive volume controls that I can send. You can borrow them as long as you'd like, as I have no use for them in the foreseeable future.

Happy Birthday!

Me either. Where were all the Mary Kay Letourneaus when I was in school?

I imagine there'll be some at CJ to listen to. I won't be carting my amp there, but I'm sure there'll be a β22 there to listen from. I'll make it a point to audition such a setup if available.

Don's impressions from over there...

I actually like the L & R placement, and the screws can easily be replaced with techier ones, though I have no issue with them. I love the fact that they used mini XLRs for the replaceable cables.

He will, Ari style! So you may want to listen to mine instead Dinny. I'll simply tote them in my carry on.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Really nice aesthetics IMO. Coupled with what I've heard from Don, these will be my next headphone.

Happy Birthday!

I plan on bringing my TPs to CJ Shelly. You can listen and make your mind up then.
