When do you consider an amp "high end"
Nah, this is an audiophile cop out. Hate to say it, but if it was "all about the music" we wouldn't need HC, or HF, or AA, or sh.tv (the gear section anyway). I am insanely passionate about music, as any of my friends (online or IRL) will tell you, but I also absolutely love gear, and love talking about gear. I believe Reks' comment to be slightly sarcastic, but in any humorous comment lies a piece of the truth. By "lashing out", I mean people feel the need to attack "the headcase thing" when they find they and their gear aren't embraced with open arms.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
You don't have to take it as a personal insult when we say your amp isn't "high end". You are not your gear. Newbies to the HC culture tend to feel very threatened by the rather frank discussion, and as a result they lash out. This lashing out is unnecessary, we can skip this step. Or you can leave.

The Headcase Stax thread
Okay, sorry I'm confused. Are you saying the SB can be used with pro-bias earspeakers?

What happened to Head-fi?

The Headcase Stax thread
In the greater scheme of things this price doesn't seem that bad to me, considering the alternative is a $1500 KGSS. Thanks for the info Cosmopragma!

The Headcase Stax thread
Hey Staxenheads: I have the SRD-7. What exactly is the pro-bias equivalent of this called, i.e. one that can be used with the Omega Deuce? The SRD-7 Pro? I'm thinking about keeping my eyes open for one of these, thanks.

Going rate for RS-1...
I've always been curious about this as well. I'll just stick with my belief that RS-1s require a good 10 years to burn in.

How slow is SinglePower?
Wow, no need to question the honesty of valued members of the headphone community who have had problems with Mikhail. I'm glad you had a positive experience, but by "considering the source" you are basically implying that hungrych, mjg, and boomana, for starters, have all lied about their negative experiences with Singlepower. It is a fact that in many cases Mikhail has piss poor customer service, and there is no need to "consider the source" on this.

Impressions: RS-1 & K340
me neither, but my glasses are very thin titanium. However, I did have some trouble with the weight of the HP2. \ But the RS-1 with flats and the GS1K with bagels are two of the most comfortable phones I've worn, along with a well loosened HD650.

What tracks do you use to audition gear?
I should point out the version I use is from the atco/japan 38101-2, which is the diament master. simply superb.

To all new members
I can point you in the direction of a headphone forum that usually has about one post every two days. Should be easier for you: http://headplace.freeforums.org/ Also I can guarantee 100% that it will never ever EVER go down ever, so all your precious memories will remain intact on the infernet forever.
