Welcome to HeadCase. Sorry about your thin skin. Burn-in is the fotm (or maybe "all time") magic elixir at HF. It fixes all problems. Interesting, 701s have never sound strident to me. In fact it's always been the opposite. They sounded too bland. That was until I heard them out of Voltron's SDS-XLR where they came alive. So I think that amplification is very important to get good sound out of a 701.

I've come to appreciate Jude's policy. I see it's in HC's best interest.

Who cares?

Costco sells a bag of 10 (I think) for under $10 in the automotive section.

They don't sound too bad with a Platinum Extreme either.

You might want to ask the question at audioasylum. You'll get lots of good responses there.

Me too.

Hopefully it's nobody on this site. It's one thing to call oicdn on his douchebaggery when he does it, but an attack like this out of the blue just fosters sympathy for him and actually supports his position. So if it is somebody on this site, please stop doing things like this. If you must rag on him, just wait for him to post and eventually he'll do something that you can call him on.

Definitely. It would have been "amurican indian" if it just refered to the USA.

I see he now has MOT status there. Doesn't that mean no more reviews and no more adding to his "markl mods" thread?

We need sheep and/or lemming emoticons.

Happy Birthday to you both!

Ah, the late 70's, when Disco was king! I think we all try to forget about that.

There's only one HF princess, and that's Vicki.

You wore it for all of 30 minutes and got to keep the stand. You have an interesting view of what's fair. You're not a closet Republican are you? Sorry, no tutus. It's really in your best interest. Stacy's sense of humor is just fine. She'd think it's funny too.

A very short while I see!

I keep trying, but nobody pays any attention. After buying the headphones, no cash for a stand if I want to stay happily married.

But I have these nice, new headphones that need a nice, new stand!

Just narrowing it down better. Actually, with the way San Jose is growing, it may annex SFO some day.

Actually it's in Silicon Valley.

Does it fit in airline carryon by any chance?

California is kind of a big state. So to narrow this down, it's SFO bay area.

Happy Birthday!

Fungi had an opera for awhile. I listened to it at one of our mini-meets with my K340s. I didn't like the SQ very much and didn't feel that the opera did a good job of driving K340. The sound was thin and one dimensional. It didn't have the height and depth in the soundstage that I get with my amp. Of course, the K340 is a very hard headphone to drive. Anyway, Hiroshi can comment more on the opera than I can.

There's one fly in the ointment regarding CanJam timing. We have to miss John Fogerty, who is playing locally that weekend. At least we'll be able to see Celtic Women later in May.
