I don't know -- that third one looked just like your old avatar. "M&P"?

It could translate everyone's posts into Billy-speak. And then we could fix it.

No. I changed my post to show Headroom's plot, but the HD800 is in the current issue of Stereophile, so it's not online yet. It's on p. 89 of the orange-framed issue with a Boulder device on the cover. The phase is really mild -- I don't think it strays more than 15 degrees. I can attempt to describe the impedance plot verbally: there's a peak at 100 Hz, but the peak is at 310, the minimums appear to be at 210 (starting at 10 Hz, and another swale around 1.1kHz-1.4kHz), and then slowly going up again, to about 300 @ 50kHz. You can look around the Stereophile site, or check Audio Asylum -- I think he posts there, there might be some discussion, I don't know.

Here is John Atkinson's response:

And don't touch the soldering iron to the backs of any bullets.

You have the best taste in music -- your own.

LAGQ's Guitar Heroes, SACD

You should have bought two pair and left one in the box.

Yeezh.

I liked the K701 when I heard it, it didn't seem to do anything wrong, but it didn't seem to do anything that any of my other headphones did, neither, plus it wasn't a sound I "go after" (L3000/VTG/PS-1/etc.). Also, way too white.

Their measurements don't have that same peak -- it only goes up to 310 on theirs. I just wrote John Atkinson and pointed it out and asked him to conjecture as to why the measurements would be different. I'd ask Tyll the same thing -- Tyll?

I suspect that this is it exactly. And also to make them sought-after.

He got a new one, and this is his first excursion away from it.

Jarvi, Berlioz, SACD

What amp are you using? That's a big deal with the HD800's.

So they're the next house over?

Okay, now read up on capitalization.

Looks like he's ... <deleted> ... so hard that her head is popping off.

Self-rectifying? Not likely.

Jesus. Actually, I wouldn't mind hearing The Birth of the Cool bleeped out.

I constantly confuse Jim White and Joseph Arthur. And now that you mention Leonard Cohen, I hear that, too. Don't know what you're talking about on the other part, though. It's not part of any album, if that's what you mean -- it was a standalone single. I'll have to hear some Mark Lanegan...

Looks photoshopped.

You know those songs that you can listen to at any time? And pretty much as soon as you think of it, you kind of have to? This is one of those songs.

Well, (a) he already had some Schubert on his list, and ( he was talking about chamber music, and I consider Schubert to be the king of chamber music, so I thought it was a safe suggestion. It also doesn't sound as romantic as much post-Beethoven composers do, so still "sounds" pre-Beethoven.
