That's cool. You're obviously going to the better meet, but I think it should be interesting getting myself reacquainted with the world of dynamics. And VA is a bit closer to me/us than Florida.
I'm working on that now. Well, I'm always playing through like 10 pieces at a time, so it's.. one of the ones I'm working on now. Expect it right after the Chaconne.
Arlington, VA Meet #2 December 5 - December 5 - Fall/Winter DC-area meet, Arlington VA - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
I'll probably be there. Damn, going to two meets within 2 months of each other... what is wrong with me.
I thought that was Rosie O' Donnell.
Sounds exactly like a vintage undamped ortho, especially if you include Colin's comments about it being bassy and muddy sounding.
Way cool.
Yeah I don't think I would, either. I think the velour against the head is just for comfort issues and the sides being made of leather still seals in the bass, so I wouldn't expect any difference.
Did they have the new headband?
All the other things don't sound promising... maybe a crapload of damping would help that out, but who knows what it would do to soundstage. The velours leak bass so the HE5 would probably also sound muddy and bassy with sealing leather pads. And so the wait continues.
Oh, it's low enough, that's for sure. Only problem is a combination of my own stupid sense of morality and insane workload. That and I'm not really into sloppy seconds.
Hah, indeed. And depending on where it is in the world.. probably Japan.
Curse you and all the large driver orthos you've owned. I haven't even owned one... yet. I hope.
Please, I'd have to be beat up, bound and gagged, with my loved ones' lives on the line before I'd order a JH13.
Nah, I might try it if I had a couple grand to spare, but uh... I don't.
