  1. Let us hope they remembered to wire the pins up on the XLR socket with the established K1000 pattern.
  2. FTFY.
  3. You've got the wheelbarrow, you can dispose of the body. I'll pay for the hammer and for the bar of soap youll need afterwards.
  4. The HD380 is related the HD280 and is thus an abomination unto Nuggin.
  5. Congratumilations! Piss on those little MMGs eh? Size is everything!
  6. Those platinum units are fucking hideous. Bring back the 77 carbon series say I! Now that's a remote control.
  7. Isn't he dead yet?
  8. Haven't you got a wheelbarrow?
  9. To me that sounds a most worthy idea.
  10. Do want. Spritzer, when yours gets off the ice breaker and into the bakery, I could send you up the fugly piezo and you can tear it a new one for sounding like ass even with 1.81 jiggawatts into it?

    That would make for a fucking awesome gag gift.

  15. I love the fox painting. I've always liked that sort of broken canvas too. Today I mainly revised, procrastinated online, and began what will be the lengthy process of neatly archiving several years of documents from various backup and copied folders. Doing so, I found a picture taken about the time I got my first Stax. Simpler times.
  16. Indeed.
  17. If you're buying headphones as an investment you're in the hobby for the wrong reasons. But look at Sennheisers track record. There were considerable gaps between the 580, 600 and 650. It's not like iPods or graphics cards. Buy and enjoy and continue to enjoy whenever HD900 turns up. It's not like the HD800 won't be able to run the CDs that come out by then, forcing you to upgrade.
  18. Look much better on the head than off it, not that you can see while you're wearing them. Don't suppsoe you filmed footage of the driver in action? In related news, the recent HD800 strain has made head-fi bump its new search timer from 30 to 45 seconds.
  19. Where'd you read about that? The 99 series has been around for several years now, and they finally offered a black finish for them last year, but Quad has historically always had long periods between product refreshes. It'll be interesting to see these platinum series things if they're for real. SACD perhaps?
  20. I am, but no two of the builds are the same so a comparison wouldn't be fair. A change in the damping can make a huge difference to the efficiency even on the same driver. Each new build was basically taking what I learned from the previous one. I think I've got it just right this time. I'll lay down the claim that this is the best circumnaural ortho in the world! Ha!
  21. Even if you can't get ahold of the 909 monos, they're just internally bridged 909s. You could get a 909, then sometime down the line, get a second 909 and have the pair modded into the monoblocks. The process would probably be slightly more involved than whats done with the old 405 though. As for ratings, the 909 should be stable into any non-bonkers load. Quad designed all their amps to be stable into their electrostatic speakers and the 909 is the 2nd refinement of the 606 design.
  22. If the 99/909 option (I'd want that myself) is making you hesitate because you want a higher power option theres always the 99/909-909 option. The 909 monoblocks output 300watts into 8 ohms but were discontinued last year. I've seen several sets pop up on ebay uk though.
  23. Headphone socket on my NAD C352. My TRS headphones have a not too nice hard and harsh and dry sound out of the switch box from the binding posts. I also get hum from the Aleph in the right channel. Oddly isnt there on the K1000.
