Even thinking such a thing would be blasphemy!

I get a 5 minute downtime for maintenance message. Translated that means "Oh Shit, we're screwed"

I have not heard a word out of Sennheiser. They did finally confirm receipt of the stand about two months after I shipped it. This was confirmed to my business partner warrior05, only after several emails asking if it arrived. I've had no luck getting any more information whatsoever.

The pics are on another computer that crashed. I posted them on here somewhere a while back though. Most likely in some place. I'll look. Oops, I made a boo boo. I'll post the pics in a sec.

Are we talking the same technology used in some Cabasse speakers?

Are you investing in time for the Dallas meet?

Does an iPod Classic 160Gb count?

Ditto. I pretty much follow the same routine, and it seems to work just fine.

Oh I didn't think you were being disparaging at all, and took no malice from your post. I was just further expounding on the phrase. Actually I guess I fall into both categories, because I can be quite happy listening to lesser gear as background music. I"ll always take music over no music no matter the system. Back then headphones were mostly relegated to the times when blasting the speakers was inappropriate. I never knew anyone who's main system was headphone based. Dedicated headphone amps were unheard of. I think there are several reasons for this. One is that headphones were heavy and hot back then. They were almost, if not all closed designs with pleather pads. Little ear saunas. I think headphones started coming into their own with the introduction of the Senn. HD414, and really took off with the introduction of the Walkman. Sweet!

I hope further tweaking will tame the mids. Nice job! Man I had carpet that color once. I had to vacuum every day. Every little thing shows up. Looks great immediately after vacuuming though.

Well the term get's a bad rap, but there are those that will be quite happy with whatever speakers or headphones happen to be around and cheap, and there are those that have a passion for trying to recreate a live experience in terms of SQ. I've fallen into that group for decades now. I don't think of myself as uppity or snotty at all, but the term has a valid place IMO.

I'm seeing about $2,000.00 for the 50cc, and $2,500.00 for the 125cc. Are they available cheaper somewhere?

Just the fact that he's willing to jump in and try something that daunting is reason for respect. The realisation that he can not only accomplish it, but master it so quickly has me in complete awe. Naaman has made my top 5 Head-Fi/Head-Casers I'd like to meet in person list, and that's a lofty little group. Just astounding stuff Naaman!

I paid $350 for my K340 as well. Brand new, off the shelf of my local Audio dealer in 1985. What you also need to remember is that the choices of headphones in 85' were but a very small fraction of what's offered today, and an even smaller number of those were truely audiophile headphones. I thought at the time they were well worth it, and I agree that an updated modern version would have a great value.

Holey shit! I can't begin to say how impressive that is! I don't know your age, but you've built some crazy ass skills in a seemingly short period of time. My hat is off to you Sir!

There are many methods. Here's one... Cleaning Vinyl Records Steam cleaning is supposed to work well too. Yet another involves rubbing the record on Fitz' head.

Careful Smeggy, a less trustworthy person could edit that post with malice in mind. I've done so only to show what could happen when we're careless. Did I miss something?

Very cool video. What a great welcome home!

Apparently so...

It would also give you spare parts which could be a really good thing. I'd say go for it.

If that's true my weenie would be so small I'd have a scab on my ass.

Well if table size and Penis size are related I've definitely won the game. However I, like you believe my ears to be the best tool to judge with. I think you're on the right track with your plans. I could build another sand box platform for the table to sit on if you find it might be benificial. Duals are a dime a dozen. You've got something much more rare and dare I say very hip there my friend. I just love the aesthetic. The fact that it sounds good is icing on the cake. Let's face it, it would be cool as audio sculpture alone.

Vinyl Engine is going to be a great source for answers to all of your questions. Oh and a Warhol on the wall behind that gear would only add to the aesthetic.

That TT is very sweet looking! Love the retro goodness, and that tonearm is vintage coolness. The Marantz is also very nice, and looks to be in damn nice condition. A+
