I recall you had one of his compilation box sets (60s work), have you heard his more recent stuff? The Drift is one of the best albums in the last 20 years But I like his 60s/70s stuff too, but it's just so different from Climate of Hunter, Tilt and The Drift.

Scott Walker is amazing

Dream Theater and DragonForce super corny crap with terrible singers. Pretty much all death/black metal is cheesy as hell too. Prog metal and snorefest guitar wanking too. Anything Phil Collins era Genesis, he killed one great prog band I enjoy listening to Radiohead, but I don't see them as this revolutionary, super inventive band anymore. I like Opeth because I love good concept albums, and most of their albums tell a good story. I'm not as big a fan of Ghost Reveries as most people.

Awesome, start browsing the internet radio stations there is some good stuff online

Dusty, Kohn (Audiocubes rep) at Headfi is always really fast to reply to my PMs. It's a last resort if you don't mind logging in there. Audiocubes also sells CD3000 pads, that's where the guy I sold my CD3000 to got them from. http://www.audiocubes2.com/index.php?cPath=27&osCsid=2ee1b3da42e1ceb655d14c8be2bdd9a2

Yup I agree with system synergy at this level of performance.

Glad you're enjoying them. Pics of you listening with Mouse Ears

First season was my favorite (mainly because season two had a ton of drama). The episode in the first season where Michael has "race criticism" day is legendary

Take your own advice guy: http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,2669.0.html Your thread isn't making any ground breaking strides in the "I searched" department. Bitching about Headfi won't make you fit in here.

Again I'd have to hear it first in my system, before I drop however much they cost now that Stereoshill reviewed them To be honest the Wavelength Audio stuff is most likely what I'd try and go out of my way to hear in my system before anything else. Just because I believe that USB can be better than toslink/coax. But that brings the whole issue of requiring a computer to be in the same room as my speaker system. Just relaying what I heard from someone I trust. The North Star sounded dynamite in his system, but his modded Aries3 still walked all over it.

I know, I never wanted a CDP acting as an external DAC.

Happy birthday Haj!

It's a CDP not a DAC though. If I had a chance to demo a Prima DAC SE from a dealer I would jump on the opportunity. Though my friend with the Duos has had the Capitole in his system (specifically saying it was too soft) and he wasn't too impressed and in the end went with the Naim. So I question if it's the giant killer that people make it out to be.

"Don't care about headphones" when compared to a really nice speaker rig The North Star is too good to consider swapping out, I'd have to compare it with something side by side and it would have to be a lot better.

I'm not planning on it, the SET amps are single ended. My preamp is definitely going to be SE. And I don't care about headphones any more. "Yes but where would be the fun in that. More than half the parts would not be needed." The way I understood KG's post was that the amp wouldn't need half the parts to be built. Not in the sense that half the preamp wouldn't be used (but a full build would still be required). Which is why I replied in a half joking manner

Very true

Kevin would it be possible to build it all single ended? And are there any parts (FETs ) we're waiting on to be manufactured?

boomana our very own

I for one am, the Blowtorch is pretty legendary

Only if Patrick82 could make a cameo.

How slow is SinglePower: http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,2031.150.html Preamp discussion (split from this topic): http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,2665.0.html edit: moved the discussion to speakers because it was about preamps.

So you're basically using the amp to EQ the headphones? It still won't get rid of its other glaring flaws.

Indeedsh.

If I was really a writer for the show I'd have House carry around a fibula and he'd whack someone every time they mentioned lupus in the differential diagnosis. My favorite anatomy prof always carried a long bone to whack people with

Yup I think they're great headphones, and like wise both of my HD650s that I owned sounded pretty much the same. I agree that they lack midrange detail compared to other headphones.
