Exactly. RS-1 = rock and jazz only K1000 = classical only with no bass HD650 = sloppy slow tubby bass for classical only all other phones are only good for Reks to listen to game music.

if I could humbly suggest the RS-1, flats, and some brutally powerful SS amplification.

Welcome to head-case Ryan! There are some very knowledgable folks around here who are remarkably patient and helpful. So lather on the thick skin and stick around, we all stand to learn a lot from each other.

h8 delivery exception! that was a dumbass move on my part having the amp sent to my home address. i did just get an email from my mom saying that an 85lb package is waiting for me at their house. I was smart enough to get the speakers shipped there. I must have had a brain fart when I ordered the 840a. It was late at night...

My K340s need way more knob crankage then my HD650. I'm fairly sure the 2/4 would be insufficient for K340s.

I'm hoping the balanced beta22 with gain of 2/4 will be all things to all my dynamic cans. I like tubes as much as the next guy, but I don't think there is a tube amp in existence that pairs equally well with both high and low impedance cans. What impresses me so much about the Dynahi is that it works fabulously with every can I throw at it. I'm hoping the beta22 will be the same way. Probably the only thing that remains to be seen is if that gain will be enough to drive HD650s, but I think it will be fine. Not that its the same thing, but even with my gain switch on low on the Dynahi I still have plenty of volume on the Senns. Anywho, I already have three sources, I really don't want to be a multiple amps guy. I did it for a while (Melos, Dynahi, and PPX3 Slam) and that was no fun. This got me thinking, what popular OOP can prices are not going through the roof lately? PS-1, HP-2, and L3000 prices have all risen significantly.

I paid $445 for my pair, and I just bought them this past spring. But a couple months after the purchase the left driver blew, so I had to pay $100 to have that replaced. So effectively I paid $545.

no problems with the 24 point SA on my Dynahi. Currently I am working on a radical new design: the 1 step attenuator. Its sissy proof. Basically you are either cranking it 100% or you ain't. werd up yall.

Hm, so you don't have to have a box at the UPS store to do that? Thats pretty cool if you don't. I've considered renting a box at the UPS Store due to the fact that I do order a ton of crap on the internet, I live alone, and I find a slew of packages coming through work to be a distraction. I don't know about you all, but I don't like fielding audio questions from non-audiophiles.

all the carriers at my office know me. "here's some more speakers for jack". They call everything I get speakers. Ironically, this week is the first time I'm actually ordering speakers and I'm having them shipped to my parents' house. It'll be easier for me to transport them from there. I had Audio Advisor ship the 840a to my house. Ack, I hope it doesn't require a signature. \ Dumb move on my part.

i've got class after work tonight, so give me a bit of time and I'll zip something up for y'all. I didn't actually buy the box set with the bonus disc, I bought the bonus disc for $20 from an eBay seller.

First, thanks for posting the playlist, looks like a winner. I'm always changing my mind, but right now I think that "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is the best song JD/NO ever did. I keep forgetting about this movie, but everytime someone reminds me I remember how much I'm looking forward to it. Second, I have the bonus disc from the box set with the 17+ min version of Elegia.

so now I get to spend all day at work wondering how the hell this is NSFW. I'll click the link and find out when I get home.

you know I stumbled across a bunch of those from the same series, like the complete works of mozart, schumann, etc. My only concern is that it end up being a bunch of crappy performances, but then again how would I know, it being the first time I'd heard them?

if he can use his mask powers to protect the gears from the smoke, yes this is fine. but we must have assurance that his mask powers will work as intended. we'll need to form an exploratory committee to look into the idea that jim carrey can use his mask powers to protect gear from tobacco smoke. Absorbine_Sr, I nominate you to head this committee.

hey man, most anything goes around here, but smoking around the components is NOT cool. take it outside next time.

mjg has also been banned for smoking cigarettes in the amplification forum.

no, it was the smoking. reks actually doesn't have ban power, he's really more of a figurehead, the "anti-jude" if it pleases the jury.

on the NEWS?! geez...

This thread has been reserved to explain why banned members have been banned. We are not like the bad head-fi that won't discuss why members were banned. Today, jpak was banned because he was caught smoking cigarettes in the amplification forum.

I hear the upcoming v-dock + iTouch will rival $1750 CD players.

1g shuffle, 512mb.

Good point. By the time someone "bottoms out" in whatever disorder they've got, the damage is usually already done to somebody who has no way of fighting back: children. I see this all the time in addiction. An addict doesn't always come out of an addict household, but more often then not an addict household breeds addicts. i love it.

i'm betting that the pair you listened to was NOT broken in and you are "mistaken" about what the dealer told you. how can you really know dude. also check your upstream, no doubt. werd. also: [me=postjack]is pleased that his plan to MoT all DIY is proceeding according to plan. what looked like a simple link to assist in a sale was actually a nefarious attempt to make it so all DIY people can't talk about DIY in the DIY forum since they are improving products and making the moolah off of them which is wrong.[/me]

speaking of pretty, nate is selling his woodied 325s.
