I think this is a great idea.

I received my SR-Lambda and SRD-7 yesterday, and listened to them last night and today. I don't want to jump the gun, and I understand initial impressions can sometimes fade, but jesus christ I like this headphone. The very first thing that hit me is something that is usually described to me as the weak point of stats: the bass. Are you fucking kidding me? I have never heard bass so deep, full, complex, layered, and yes, impactful. And strangely this humongous bass sound does not interfere with the highs and mids, nor does it muddy up the soundstage. It exists in harmony with the rest of the spectrum, which is very natural and lifelike. Mids and highs exist together quite seemlessly. The Lambda is a pleasure to listen to at either low or high volumes. It also has superb speed, very ear-tickly and grin inducing. Mostly I find myself listening to a lot of trance on the Lambdas, since lush atmospheric soundscapes and pulsing beats compliment the Lambda's strengths so well. The 840A appears to have no trouble pushing these phones.

hey i need that paul van dyk album please. thank you.

Welcome to head-case!

Here's a question about the O2: is the headband adjustable at all? I'm always skeptical about "one size fits all" kind of headphones, since they rarely seem to fit me.

awww, come on JBizzL, let philodox have his K340.

This should be fun! These are personal preference with a bit of performance mixed in. I wouldn't want to try to separate the two. RS-1 > HP-2 > HD650 > GS1000 > W5000 > HD600 > HD580 > K340 > MS2i > W11JPN > SR225 > SR325i > K701 > DT990 '05 > SR60 > DT770/80 Pro All amps based on single ended drive out of Veda Audio Dynahi SA, with the exception of the K701 and SR60 (Headfive), SR225, DT770/80, and DT990 '05 (HA-2 MKII SE), and HD600 and HD580 (PPX3 Slam). At various times, some of the cans designated as being Dynahi driven were also driven by a Melos SHA-Gold or PPX3 Slam, but I found the Dynahi to have the best performance as well as being my personal preference. I have not yet included the Ultrasone Edition 9 anywhere on the list, since I haven't owned it for a long enough time to grant it a position in the hierarchy (if I was forced to, right now they would fall somewhere behind or around the HD600. They are enjoyable headphones, despite their flaws). Also IEMs were not included in the list, mainly because I haven't had enough listening time with the ER4P and my recollection of the iM716 is faint (to be fair my recollection of the K701 and DT990 '05 is faint as well, but comfort issues with the K701 automatically drop it to the bottom of the list anyway).

Sweet, congratulations on the new amp.

I do think the review is well written and quite humorous, though I'll take no stance as to whether or not it is ethical.

I agree, its the tonality of the RS-1 that makes it one of my favorite cans, and my favorite can overall for rock and jazz (this same tonality that does so well for distorted guitars also makes horns excel, IMO. in fact I think the RS-1 might be a better jazz phone then a rock phone ).

Ah, this is cool. The spy pictures of the silver sure looked snazzy. In other news, I get my Lambdas today. I'll get my first listen late tonight.

actually on the hearyourself site, I'm pretty sure they say you don't have to mail them your IEMs, that you can just slide on the molds like any other tip. I think? Still a pain to get the molds made though. I wouldn't want to try to attempt to do it myself, the instructions sound tricky.

omg dude it is coming, you know how canadian customs are, especially with aged meat.

Price of the new Mk2 at elusivedisc is the same as the old 007, which is listed at $2,000.

Thank you for noticing! I keep a bunch of NOS CKBe on hand.

I still haven't heard this headphone. I would like to. I remember enjoying the DT990 '05 but that was a long time ago.

Would somebody please move this to the MOT/Product Announcements thread?!

DIY = MOT

>1. I've got a NEC DVD Burner. Any reason to get a better [possibly external] CD burner? Dunno. >2. What application should I use? I've got a full version of Nero and UltraISO. I use EAC for all my burns. >3. Should I do a direct copy from disc to disc using the same drive, multiple drives, creating an image, ripping to WAV first, etc? If you are just copying from disc to disc, I think the best way to go is use EAC to create a disc image, then use EAC to burn that same disc image. When I burn CDs I am mostly burning from FLACs. I use the integrated dbPoweramp or whatever it is called to convert all the FLAC to wavs, then I create a cue sheet in EAC by dragging and dropping onto the write screen. >4. Should I volume normalize the discs? I've heard this can help loud/hot recordings sound less... like ass. No. And nothing will make your loud/hot recordings sound less like ass. >5. What printer works well with those white inkjet printable TY's? I don't have a printer at the moment and if I was to buy one I would probably get a laserjet, but having printed labels on my copies would be kind of cool. Dunno. >6. Any suggestions on an application that will search out and print track listings and possibly album art for the discs I'm copying? I don't know of a program, but I'm sure there must be one. I just write on my CDs with a klone marker.
