Oh, that explains why he can only write a story based upon speculation, supposition and sanctimonious platitudes.

Wow, the Washington Post has certainly been hit hard by the newspaper crisis. I thought I was reading a story in the National Examiner.

Sorry to hear about the injury Al. Keeping my fingers crossed it's not the ACL, but it's damn hard to drink this way.

FTFY

Some stuffs from Ikea to begin a proper home for the ever-growing whiskey collection and accoutrements.

Yep, he's even having problems with getting the shipping crates for the BA's built.

True to the first one but not to the second.

Are you going to hackintosh it?

I somehow find this refreshing. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Pete, I will toast with some Lot B when I get home.

On some phones it makes little difference (eg DT880) but on others (K701 and K340) it makes a hell of a difference. I have a hard time listening to the K701 SE on the GSX and I don't even try any more with the K340. The Senn 650 also sound better balanced to me but not as huge a difference as the AKGs. I will be doing some Grado balancing next, so that should be fun.

The O2 mk I is a serious Texas Blues Can if you have a Texas sized amp. But I am also not a fan of the K1K, I have tried it off and on over the years and just didn't care for it. When I want to listen to headphones I want headphones and when I want to listen to speakers I want speakers. The K1K tries to do both and IMO does neither particularly well.

We're actually visiting family-in-laws in Forest Hills. But it wasn't the distance that was the problem, it was the masses of humanity in their great steel beasts.

Drove out to Montauk and back. Montauk is beautiful, the drive out and back sucks donkey balls.

Agreed on that.

Well maybe I'm mellowing out but I actually thought zonto's post was not really that bad, even if he is a newbie.

Except that the D5000 to me sounds worse than a recabled D2000 unless of course you prefer listening to your music in a boomy echo chamber. Never heard a D7000, and given its price and the competition, I probably never will. YMMV

The problem is that the cable on the D2000 really, really sucks. To my ears they do change pretty dramatically with the recable. The only phone that changed more was the K701 going from single-entry SE to double-entry balanced. That being said, in both cases I did not have a problem hearing the potential in both phones and they did not absolutely disgust me on first listen as some other (*cough*ultrasone*cough) cans have. I would suggest you listen to them a while before deciding to recable.

The happiest of birthdays to you sir.

I have a pair of D2000. Buying them used they were a good buy but at least for me they were not keepers until I had them recabled (APS v3). At their price point they are bettered by my HD-25-I-II except for comfort. But overall for a closed can i like them well enough to use them at work as an adjunct to my K340's. Oh, and I did not see anything particularly egregious about Larry's burn-in comment about the New Force.

EC Balancing Act running it er balanced. In my humble opinion from various listening sessions at CJ09.

I prefer my music to not attack me.

Thanks, that was very helpful since I own K701 and HP-1000.
