Do I set out looking for an R10?
Were you able to hear them with an Extreme? The SDS is way more than I'd spend on a headphone amp.

there is an aqvox mkii on agon for $750
IIRC it's Acoustic Research brand, cheap but built well.

I have a 7 meter toslink cable in our home theater system, there is no degradation of the signal comparing it with one that is a couple of feet. edit: so I've never tried it with music, but it's a fairly resolving HT system.

Add Cult of Luna - Salvation to the list. Great CD, though they sound identical to Isis.

A couple of metal CDs I've been meaning to get for a while. Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale and Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm. And payed for Halo 3 Legendary preorder for a friend's birthday.

I've ate at a lot of Indian restaurants, the ones in Queens, NY have always been consistently good.

Pass on the Grados maybe. I can't let go of the L3000s though. You can get an R10 for around $3500 if you look. Strangely the system I didn't like them in was a balanced Supra XLR. Even after Mikhail rolled in the more synergistic tubes.

Holy shit this thread goes from a few replies to 3 pages overnight.

I'm going to call BS on that article as well. I would love to see some research to back up just that one claim.

It might beat your Sony with redbook playback. I would give it a shot.

Absolutely if I can make it I'll bring them. I can give you guys my answer closer to the start of August.

Definitely leaning more towards hearing them again in a quiet environment, which was my hunch.

I wouldn't get one until March/April 2008 which point I'll be settled in nicely with my job. Do you know what serial number they were? Do you know if they were as bright as the CD3000 (I've grown to really dislike)? Any comparison to the Qualia you're borrowing? I'm not considering the Qualia, the midrange was a bit too sterile/recessed.

Do I set out looking for an R10?
This is a shaky quest. I received lots of great feedback in my L3000 thread and most of it was very good advice and I'm thrilled with my purchase. Feedback from those that own/have owned/heard the R10 would be appreciated. I would especially like detailed or lengthy descriptions. Thanks. (As for my own thoughts on the R10 my two encounters with them were polar opposites)

When do you consider an amp "high end"
I dunno those SDS-XLR guys like to have pretty much all the high end headphones (balanced)

Kryptonite ftw. Keep that damn Superman away from my gears.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
22K gold looks very good. Most of the jewelry in the US is 14k or 18k not nearly as impressive. IMO platinum suits fairer skin and gold darker. But if I were to plate an amp it would be platinum (unless I got an incredible rate on gold in India), though most people would probably mistake it for silver \
