Happy Birthday. ^^ Biggie.

"My initial impressions are that the sound is more open and 3d. The bass has become bloated, and the overall sound is less refined." ->my initial reaction to hearing my system with both cans. The sound has since settled down and I'm not hearing these things anymore. "I prefer the ps-1's over the rs-1's currently because of their added refinement and better sound stage, but the rs-1 midrange does have its moments." ->rs-1 vs. ps-1 Unfortunately I can't listen to the same tube complement I was using before, as I'm having a connection problem with my telefunken ecc82's. I wasn't having this problem until a few days ago. So the jury is still out for now. Biggie.

My stock ps-1's handled leading s and t sounds better then my stock rs-1's. Also the less forward sound of the ps-1's seemed to help as well. The ps-1's always handled cymbal hits in a more realistic way (less splash, more control). I have no way of knowing what the speaker dampening inside my ps-1's is doing to the sound. What I do know is that the recable/dampening of my ps-1's had a larger positive impact on the sound than the recabling of my rs-1's. I believe this to be due to the quality of the wire in the ps-1's though. Biggie.

Bowls on the ps-1's, crushed bowls on the rs-1's. Flat pads on sr60's. The sound on my system settled down to similar to its old sound. I've been choosing a headphone each night and listening to it. I'm not really a fan of swapping to the other can in the same listening session. ps-1 to rs-1-> rs-1 sounds too sloppy and unrefined, rs-1 to ps-1-> where'd the midrange magic go? Biggie.

I'll see what I can do. I don't have access to any good cameras currently. Biggie.

The ps-1 bass quantity is extremely dependant on what you feed into it. I don't remember anyone saying to me "holyshitbass" after listening to my rig, but I've heard quite a few "I dunno why people say these have too much bass" comments. When I first got the ps-1's the bass was disgusting, but with some tube swapping I got it under control. Biggie.

I got my cans and my amp back yesterday. The ps-1's are recabled with a custom beryillium copper alloy cable, and the rs-1's are recabled with a moon audio black dragon. The amps 1/4" neutrik was replaced with a 4-pin xlr and some of the wiring was redone. My initial impressions are that the sound is more open and 3d. The bass has become bloated, and the overall sound is less refined. I prefer the ps-1's over the rs-1's currently because of their added refinement and better sound stage, but the rs-1 midrange does have its moments. Biggie.

Yeah but if the amp goes hella loud, who gives a fuck. Biggie.

Hellgate: London preorder, so I could check out the beta. Biggie.

Bump it up to like 100 posts please hehe. Biggie.

Hmm if these do go up significantly in price then they would be a good investment. My amp should be able to drive them easily. I'm not convinced I would enjoy them though. And breaking them would be annoying. Biggie.

So all Canadian doctors are idots now? We have plenty of plastic surgeons here that could have taken care of your teeth work pronto (for money obviously), and the broken jaw would have been looked after quickly. Biggieh.

Lol, that doesn't sound like the Canadian system at all. And the moose is our ride of choice. Our bacon tastes so good because its made from mooses. Biggie.

Sending my amp off to get 4-pin xlr'ed. Wonder if it will make any difference. Biggie.

Paying high taxes like a sucka, thats what. I must not be selfish afterall. Biggie.

The American health system causes unneeded stress and baggage for the poor. You guys are selfish. Biggie.

Just please, please, please stay out of Canada Billy. Biggie.

Nice impressions. And feel free to invite me to one of these top secret meets sometime. I'm back in Oakville now. Biggie.

Before the bagel existed, there was the donut. Aka flat pads... Biggie.

Wtf do bagels have to do with donuts. I didn't even use the bagel pads on my gs1k's while I had them. Black Dragon w/ 4-pin xlr connector. Biggie.

Hey your not to only one with new donuts. My recabled rs-1's have been trapped in London for the past week. Picking them up this weekend. ^^ Biggie.

I'm not a fan of ic's made from the home grown wire (bland). The venhaus wire makes for a better cable (life-like). Biggie.

The Senn hd280 is a terrible sounding can, and they are annoying to walk around with, and look awful on any head. Vocals sound like ass. Biggie.

The k340's would have looked better had you had "bling bling" written on them instead. Biggie.

ps-1 > rs-1 on the manlyness scale Biggie.
