Glad to hear that Mike, enjoy the Pappy and JH's. I'm stuck writing reports for inept contractors who do not understand that in order for a beam to work it must have a column (or other means of support) at both ends.

If I were to recommend anything I'd make sure it was rated as a speaker switch to make sure it could handle the potential voltage/current.

This idea has always made me nervous what with the twitchy nature of switches and the devastating affect that shorting the output of an amp can have.

Not to mention this little guy...

I believe that we will have an opportunity soon to at least audition the HD800s with some decent amplification, too bad there won't be 2 pairs there.

Sorry, the irony here is to f'ing thick.

It's been my experience that 90% of Grados are Red=Left, White=Right, Blue=Ground. Which ground is which is pretty easy to determine once they have been separated.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to look at a Sprite the same way again...

From what I recall some 2399's (not sure if all?) use the same plates as the 5998 but otherwise the differences are unknown to me.

I think it's an unwise leap of faith to assume your entire readership knows this much back-story.

We're going to have to check Dinny into DAC-rehab.

Yuin G1A's, my venerable KSC35s appear to be on the way out and needed new clips for the office.

I dunno, I read the review and the general gist that I got was that the DacMagic wiped the floor with 25.2.

Andy Sandberg?

Mowed, soldered, mowed, soldered, drank some lemonade. Now I might go for a jog with Lily.

He's a braver man than I, that's for sure.

Listen to it, don't break it Dinny.

Go to Westone's site and see if you can find a local authorized dealer, maybe that'll point you to some different folks?

That's absurd. The local places here charge $25, it'd be worth the gas for you to drive up.

Regardless of the comparisons made the rarity of the HE60 isn't going to change and as long as they remain well regarded (which I don't see changing) I see no reason to think that their "value" will change substantially. The only thing I can see changing it would be if Senn introduced a better, similarly priced (~$2k) stat headphone.

I don't see HE60 prices dropping any time soon. I really wish I'd snatched a set when they were selling for less than a grand. Oh well, 20:20 hindsight and all that.
