Yo Faust, your wiki is coming up with your "dont steal" nurse when your on your site. Seems like it thinks your stealing from yourself . Or have you just been a naughty boy ahaha.

Kwarth claim's he can drive them to volume out of an iPod on the HF thread. Ofc orthos love beefy amps. But at least for sensitivity it can work with a lot it seems.

AHH DELETE PLS STUPID DOUBLE POST

x2! Plus it seems I have a working Cyrus amp again (after blowing mine up) so i'm waiting for the official release now! Ahaa. FeiFei: "Theyv made half of it BLACK! Copied my HE5LE! We own black"

I was speaking to him personally outside of the company contacts, and thats something he mentioned. In fact it was v.hard for me to speak to him in his free time even this way. He has just been super busy and not had time to put out much info (both the Audeze guys are running full time jobs and done this in their own time), he said he will try and get info onto their website tomorrow. So far the impressions are looking positive.

They were said to be $650 way back when. But now we arent sure. Alex has told me he will be putting up those details tomorrow.

Yuypup! im v.exited too! Since it seems like it has loads of bass and isnt too spikey up top im gonna get one me thinks..(if i can afford it). Viva la ortho!

Sonyvore! (make that Headphonivore!)

Celga is another option

Well the D7000 is like $650ish, but it was being considered in the same pile too :S. Headphone prices seem to go up exponentially with performance. The Shure is better than its price definately so its a bargain. But thunderpants are a good deal better in my opinion, a good planar has something over a good dynamic in my opinion. And in fact they like the Shure are a GREAT deal for their price, if this was a commercial product it would surely be in a higher price bracket. That MB Quart colin mentioned is a v.good competitor to the Shure as well. Yeah I agree with Dusty above. Well the T40v1 is a good option. T50rp, doesnt shine modded in stock housing, well it can sound good i think, but it would take a veryyy masterful effort to get it there. The extreme mods (ala Smeggy) are what really transforms it.

I havent heard the D7000, but if it is just an improved D2000 then its yuck to me. The Shure (840) is rather nice overall. But the Thunderpants are on a different playing field to the Shure.

Yup they (Thunderpants) sound GREAT, I think youd be hard pressed to find a better closed can. And I think the price is around $550 now (the meister will have to confirm though, sorry Smeggy if I misquote the price you wanted). And limited order since I dont think he has much time to make many. Id bet they will cane pretty much all the closed cans (probably apart from R10 though) and are a better price. Big words, but those are special cans.

For about $550, I think you could pick up a Fostex T50rp woody . Something about thunder in the pants. Thats cheaper than a D7k, and a darn sight cooler

Hi Guys, I have two questions: a) If a stat amp has balanced xlr input, can I just use a normal rca>xlr adaptor cable to hook up my normal rca equipped DAC? If the stat amp as a 600v bias output, is it safe to use Pro Bias stax cans on it (well the O2mk1) without damage? (i think i read of spritzer testing higher volatages but not sure if this is something safe for a layman) Thank

Or people who live in GB

Now this is what i'v been waiting for the main event!!!

LMAO win!

I hope he has been washing them!

The O2 mk1 manual says you can use some kind of gauze on the pads if its causing sweaty problems and it will fix it.

Ahh thanks guys. Im slightyl interested in the Mk2 pads, not 100% sure yet though. If it's just a case of leather vs. not leather then not worth it for me, if the sonic differences make it lean more towards my tastes then i'd like to be in the group buy . So i guess I need to hope spritzer provides his opinions

Can anyone tell the answer to this? thanks

How does using mk2 pads on an mk1 affect sound? And how much are they from Japan usually?

Oh Gazza how did I miss this! Happy belated birthday ol chum

What does this effectively mean in the big scale picture?
