My condolences to your ears for having to listen to some of those.

Congrats on your new toy! Thanks again to Kerry for letting a few of us have a listen before it shipped out to its new home. We measured the operating temperature after hours of use while they were still at Kerry's. If I am remembering correctly, the amp section had a surface temperature of about 125F. Hot, but not imminent fire hazard hot by any means.

Thanks for the tip. I found this helpful page as well: http://lascotchclub.com/GlassReview/ EDIT: I think I'm going to get him the classic, cheaper, Glencairns and save the rest for a nice bottle. Thanks again for the help.

Question for the "Whisky Mafia": I want to buy a pair of whisky glasses for a good friend. My friend owns a lot of the nice Riedel wine glasses and I noticed they also sell a "Single Malt" glass. http://glassware.rie...s.html?___SID=U Would it be a nice gift to get him a pair or would a real whisky drinker prefer a different kind of glass? EDIT: Here is a better picture on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DZDTZ

Just buy the BHSE and be done with it. You won't have to worry about anyone but the T2 DIYers having better gear and you'll also be able to stop complaining. To these ears the 009/BH combo is hard to beat.

Yeah, I saw it. I don't want to make any assumptions, but I certainly hope the quality and products are not adversely affected by this move.

Ba-dum-ching!

Very nicely done. The front panel of the amp looks so clean when you can move the power switch to your PSU box. The two jack look (a la T2) is really nice. Also gogo Team Silver!

Happy Birthday, buddy!

Tried making a few posts in the LCD3 thread over on the "dark side." What a mistake. I'm sorry I bothered. Anti-intellectualism reigns supreme over there. It reminds me of the the "Tea Party" mentality. Complex things are scary to the simple minded.

It was in my case. I bought one before I knew any better. I'm still trying to unload the thing. It's been an expensive lesson, but one I'm not going to repeat any time soon.

Happy Birthday to you, Sir. I have you (and your rantings over at head-fi) to thank (blame?) for the 009s sitting on my desk right now.

Beautiful job, Spritzer. I applaud the choice of silver. What does it say in the lower left corner?

Very nice. Front page right now on NYT as well.

Looks fantastic with the front panel. Great job, Greg. Can't wait to hear it for myself.

Saw the article yesterday! Congrats! Move the beats solo review to your front page temporarily?

I just went looking for the HE90 measurements as well. Were they ever publicly posted?

A friend recommended this... fantastic!

As far as understanding the measurements, If memory serves me correctly I believe Tyll posted some primers on his measurement techniques back when he first started up inner-fidelity. I bet with a little searching you'll have no trouble finding them. Once you read them, it helps to start going through his reviews and try to see if you can match up his subjective impressions with the objective measurements. Once you've looked at enough of Tyll's reviews you start to get a feel for how the measurements influence his subjective impressions. Eventually you'll be able to look at the measurements and intuitively guess how the headphones are going to sound. Tyll can comment here, but in reading his reviews I can't really remember any occasion where his impressions haven't been borne by the measurements. As far as what conclusions I draw, I know I hear things somewhat similarly to Tyll so between the measurements and his subjective impressions I feel like I can get a pretty good idea for how the headphone is going to sound relative to the gear I've had and heard.

What are you talking about? Have you seen Tyll's measurements from his "world-class" shootout? The frequency and square wave responses sure as heck seem to do a good enough job of explaining the "significant difference in the sound of the bass between the LCD-2 and the SR-009" to me.

^ Great post. Couldn't agree more with what you've said and the points you made.

And.... how does it sound?

Great job, Greg. Sounds like you are getting close to having them make a little music.

Anyone got a pair of HE90 or HE60 to send in? I'd love to see how they stand up to the stats Tyll's already measured.

^ Amen
