Bob Dylan - Modern Times I haven't heard this one in a long time

I added the two thinner discs of felt that swt61 included. To use markl's language I lost some "bass juice" but the transient response did improve. I'm not sure if I prefer this change or not, perhaps with a more powerful amp I'd like this combination more. I'm just comparing them to my SR-007 mk1 now, and the Stax have more bass quantity and depth and still beat them out in detail.

Is your Bidat stock or modded? There is one sitting on the Gon for a few days now that has been tempting me on and off. With transport too, they usually sell very quickly at that price for the DAC alone.

No offense Icarium, I read that statement and wondered if it was a Headfi post

Black Sabbath - self titled (Japan PD33-353 first pressing CD)

You can officially bitch and whine when the beta is finished. Until then this is the new thread. Anyone has a problem, take it up with JBLoudG20

New thread. Jackie McLean - Action

I listen to terrible music so it's easy for me.

Cool I am reading up on T20v2 modding. I don't expect SR-007 killers, just something that sounds good.

I have been using [ame=http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=160302]this thread[/ame] as a reference and I've found some great bands. Any recommendations from people here? Essential listening (in my opinion) Faust Can Amon D

Personally I think subwoofers are best left in home theater surround setups, but that's just the opinion of a 2.0 purist

That's what makes House the man Also..it's not lupus

They still have more $10000+ speakers to test don't they? I'd like to see how the 20.1 does as well.

I didn't meant to start a flame war by posting this. And like Torpedo I wouldn't take too much away from this given the limited music used (no jazz? ).

I thought this was an interesting read over at an AV forum: Best Sounding Speakers According to Scientific Tests - Audio Video Revolution Forum Random and blind testing with members of the general public choosing their favorite speakers without knowing anything about them (ie cost or looks).

Have they mentioned anything about an "assassin" class? Hehe that shirt is pretty good.

I'd also like to know how old (or new) the pads were on those measurements. I swapped out my SR-007 MK1 pads out in November and the difference was startling. The measurements on the SR-Omega look freakin' good.

Your English is fine. Welcome to Head-Case, I will have to check the updated videos as I sort of forgot about this

I wouldn't have bought that after T Monks review The second disc on the SACD version is pretty good too.

I couldn't agree more. They are capable of pushing the envelope.

Cool shirt.

I got the Yamaha orthos from Steve this afternoon. I'm very impressed by these headphones, even in stock form comfort- better than Grados. Not as much clamping and the pads feel better on the ears. Still fatiguing after several hours with glasses on. sound- nothing to complain about. The bass has great impact. Extends down to about 30-40 Hz which is respectable. Exceptional midrange, that is approaching electrostat quality, but doesn't quite get there. I was expecting the treble to be a bit muted from what I've read, especially the upper treble. This hasn't been the case and there is a sense of "air" in the upper registers in live recordings. Two things that really impressed me- the way it handled the tone of piano. So far only the SR-007 Mk1 has been able to do it completely right. Even the K1000 on the various setups I've heard sounds slightly off. Secondly the speed- attack and decay is impressive. On thrash metal with the double bass beats the orthos are able to keep up (and they are able to differentiate the two beats), whereas my Senn HD580 and MS2i have a harder time. Better microdetail than both dynamics as well. Slightly disappointing- the drivers sit so close to the ear (I'm guessing even closer than Grados with flat pads) the sound stage is about on par with a mid/upper end Grado. Lacks the spacial imaging and depth and width of soundstage of the SR-007 mk1. And in their unmodded form they sound closer to dynamic headphones than electrostats. I can accept that modding will improve that, but I don't want to give up the bass quantity I'm getting from them right now dampening the drivers more.

Ouch didn't notice that on first viewing. Also it might just be the flash, but it looks like the front panel is scratched up in the corners.

So are you getting the GS-X? If so color me jealous, these orthos I'm listening to would probably love that balanced power.

Looks like the Bill Evans Fantasy 45s are also getting reissued in a box set, despite the protests from the collectors that don't want their sealed copies of "Waltz for Debby" to be devalued from the current inflated market prices
