I got -33db with the two tone, but only -24db with the pop vocals

Absolutely, I've purchased from them before.

Yeah, but knowing you, it's probably really good. I love Stroganoff. (drums fingers, waits for someone to make the inevitable "I love strokin' off"/FTFY joke, limbers up the eye-roll muscles)

WHAT?!?!? Sorry, someone was going to make that joke sooner or later, might as well be me.

My thoughts almost exactly. I wouldqualify, though, that the best Beta22 represents top of the line, since there's more variance in Beta22 builds. I wouldn't get just any Beta22. I'd probably get the Zana Deux, too, even though I haven't heard it, just because it is so universally well regarded. And because I am unabashedly a tube-head.

Yeah, one of my favorites from that year.

I recently received an email from Barney's of New York that they're going to be carrying them, so perhaps once the weather gets warmer I'll wander across the bridge and see if I can listen to a pair.

Dude, that sucks!

Did you break the dish rack by putting the teakettle in it?

Yeah, definitely, they didn't sound "bright" and "lean" at all when I heard them -- they're actually quite straightforward when driven well. I didn't even know there was a 600 ohm version -- I thought the DT880 came primarily in 120 ohm since it was released. I believe there are multiple versions -- I know on the Manufaktur website one can choose an impedance...

I know they're not very popular around here, but I've always enjoyed the Beyer DT880 every time I've heard them. And I see them for US$242.something on shopping.yahoo.com.

I think the big question is whether or not anyone has run Sextetts off a Pico, and whether the amp is up to the task. I thought the Sextetts were power-hungry headphones, and although the Pico is very good, is it up to the task of Sextetts? Anyone ever run Sextetts off a Pico?

What is crazy about it?

Puking isn't the same as hairballs.

Huzzah buzzah, guzzah.

Yeah, I thought that name sounded familiar...Hi howdy, and sorry about your thin skin/back of the head/whatnot.

An RKV Impedanzer or equivalent. What this does is "show" the amp a higher impedance. Someone can probably draw you up a circuit for it, but I think we established it's just a couple of toroids. Or just listen to your Beyers. (Or find a higher impedance pair of headphones whose sound you enjoy.) Or get another amp.

Hey, I sympathize, my cat pukes randomly and I watch BSG.

It's an SRM-T2, probably the predecessor to the SRM-007t. See here. But not here, because it's not a predecessor to the T-850.

Thread locked. The only exception should be Vicki, to reiterate her invitation to get professional help. Rehab, dude. Seriously.

I was too busy being aghast. Thanks, Todd.
