Any advice on dealing with BlueTin? I got a quote from them, and it was a bit more than what their website said, so I gave them a hard time about it. Then I asked for another quote (the 5 days had expired), and again, it was a bit higher, so I asked them to explain it to me again. Then I had them drop the A500 out of the quote (it was cheaper at audiocubes), and now I stopped hearing from them. Should I threaten to go to PayPal? They tried to charge me the PayPal fees (which I heard is against their TOS, but I can't find it). I wasn't going to go to PayPal (and I really don't want to), I just want the headphones. I may have sounded threatening, but I really don't care if they charge a bit more for the headphones, I just want a quote at this point and get the sale over with.

I get a funny "subscribe to our newsletters...poz...realhealth...tusalad" page when I accidentally went to head-case.org --

No, your opinion of low impedance headphones get no credibility because you try to listen to them out of RSA amps. As I explained in the other thread.

64 ohms nominal vs. 25 ohms nominal. Ray's amps don't like low impedance headphones...or rather, low impedance phones don't like Ray's amps...or rather, people don't like Ray's amps when trying to drive low impedance headphones. I bet the difference would be a lot less audible even on an entry level goliath-killer like Headroom's balanced thingy.

AudioValve RKV with Impedanzer is intended to drive speakers...but it's not SET.

Apache? As in RSA Apache? You should try a real amp. The bass via my Singlepower Supra++ is anything but loose and out-of-control as you described.

Yeah, when I heard tkam's recabled L3000 on the Singlepower dragon vs. my unrecabled L3000, it made that last little bit of difference. I could still hear the slight midrange suckout with mine (though it was at its most mild on tkam's rig), but on his it was completely gone. Well nigh perfect setup, that was. I was just emailing someone else, telling them -- after having heard tkam's rig -- that a recable should go without saying. I haven't yet, but my solution sounds surprisingly good.

Now that's a refreshing font.

Pay no attention to him, he's just an old curmudgeon -- I'd never seen it before. And enjoyed it.

It is my understanding that it will be available in SACD.

Because that's more than we need to know.

Dude, it's free beer -- my favourite.

You could recase it. Or just put little potpourri baskets around it. No, wait, bad idea (dust near player -- subwoofer causes dust to cloud up, etc.).

But that's just your two pence.

Okay, maybe "sarcasm" isn't exactly the right word, but you get the idea. We're goofin' is all.

QFT.

That. And if it's not in the database (or you don't have network connectivity when you rip), then manually type it in. Lame should automatically tag it internally if it has the information to start with, unless you fucked up the settings (which I doubt).

Pfff. That said, I wouldn't want to have to pay it either.
