I also really like the way it looks, and like the knobs on top.

Happy birthday to you!

Happiest of birthdays to you, Al.

Alex, stop posting this thing in every other thread.

Congrats, Alex. After spending time with it at two separate meets, I really think it's one of the best Senn amps out there. Didn't like it so much with R10s, and didn't listen much, or at all during the last meet, with other headphones. Iirc, you don't have any Senns. hmmmm. Might be time.

Are those my old K1000?

Thanks, guzzi. Well, 30s pop was at least interesting from a musical perspective. Actually, if we're talking pop only, the 50s and 60s, crossing into the early-barely mid 70s really were good years. Beatles were a pop band, as were early Stones; think any good doo wop band; any mediocre Motown song is still better than the best of what came later, and the early 70s had some great singer-songwriters, etc. Just my opinion, mind you, even if I'm right

Elephas, you're getting a BHSE, right? If so, I think you'll find the MK1s sound even better than they do now. Just keep them away from Umbrella remixes and enjoy.

Nope. I've never heard anything like that. Feline crackle, on the other hand, used to be a common sound in my home, happening when a cat attacks cables and/or cords in use at the time. After being followed by feline slap, where the cat gets a whack on the head, feline crackle ceased to be a problem.

Congrats. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy them.

Ah, I was wondering. Welcome.

Happy birthday!

We admitted a guy yesterday who had been arrested in that sweep. I thought it was pretty funny. He didn't appreciate my sense of humor. Oh well.

Happy birthday to you!!!

I don't understand what you're asking for since you've already made up your mind.

Well I can't help with the drink impressions, but I'll say that it was a perfect-size, low key meet I actually listened to every rig except dom's because he was hogging it the whole time. Stand outs: mikey's luxman + Galibier TT + Senns (650 and 600) = beautiful. guss2's aristaeus + HE90s (blanking on his source right now) is always good I liked the Woo6 SE enough to wish I spent more time with it Mark Reid's little tube amp, running with an Exemplar 2900 sounded really good with HD650s, and as some of you know, I tend to be really picky about that sort of thing ttvj's new little amp was paired with my APL Phillips. I rather liked it with Miguel's modded D5000s, but didn't like it as much with the HD600s. I was pleasantly surprised by a little Xin amp that Miguel was beta testing (C4 or C5) with the esw10s + ipod touch. Lord knows Xin's unrealible and makes changes faster than he makes amps, and I also wasn't over impressed with four previous models I've heard (though I liked them), but thinking sq alone I really liked the combo. Also, this tiny amp has both a 1/4 and mini headphone out. I also enjoyed my own rig quite a bit, which was nice to confirm. Oh, also confirmed that I really think the Ultrasone 780s are gawd awful, and although the markl modded Denon D5000s are decent headphones, they can't touch R10s for sq. I'l remember more later....or not Great seeing everyone again, and just hanging out is always the best part.

Fun meet (again). We're far more mellow than usual at the moment with Matt, Gene, Mike, John and I just hanging out. Will post impressions sometime. I just have to note the we were shunned by Al, Nate, Stephen, and Aaron. Not only did they not attend the meet, they did not acknowledge their obligation to answer our calls. What kind of friends are these? For shame.

I'm on my way to meet my drunken friends. Wish me luck.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you!!!

My grandmother used to have a button box I played with when I was a kid. It looks like the costume designer found it along with a glue gun.

Happy birthday, Naaman!!!!

Went to the shooting range with Mike, which was really fun. Maybe we should let some of the rabid bozos over at head-fi know their moderator is armed.

Mike, I can leave any time after 12:00PM. Just call me.
