I believe that sentence illustrates my point perfectly.

The problem there being that you'll pay almost as much for a set of vintage RS-1s. Incredibly, I know, but they've been selling for ~$1000 or more.

More like, he was going to argue and then decided that it's not worth his time. Some days there's a little too much universal agreement between folks who haven't heard the headphones in question. I don't doubt spritzer feels the way he does about them but he's also been known to take a pretty hard line about things like this. I mean doesn't he hate the O2 MKII as well?

Sorry, I can't. It's been too long and my time with both setups was too short. About all I can say definitely is that I preferred both setups described above to the ESP-950 w/ it's stock energizer.

The only time I heard them I did not like them.

The Sounds - Living In America

Lost is the last show I'd call consistent. Great first season, terrible second and it's been pretty hit or miss for me ever since. I'll give it a chance this year but it's on short leash.

Colin, Best to wait for confirmation from one of the Stax heavies but I was once told that you can do no harm plugging a Pro plug into a Standard jack. You'll underbias the cans but otherwise the pinouts are the same.

Before the head transplant I believe that he was correct.

Heh, I had two pairs at one point. It wasn't for lack of liking that had me selling them, just a lack of time to listen to one headphone rig.

I'm not sure I'm quite as enthusiastic as Colin regarding the ESP-950s. While when properly amped (I heard them out of the BHSE and SRD7) I would say I liked them at least as much as the HD-650s I thought they were pretty mediocre out of the stock energizer.

Misstep #1. Careful...

I'm guessing that someone just got stuck with them who did not expect to get stuck with them.

I'm sure he does, so do I and I have 1/10th the crap to ship he does. If I drop a package off to be packed 99% of the time it's sent the same day. If it isn't going to ship that day they let me know at time of drop off, not 7 days later.

No problems on FF 3.0.5 here.

Not decent, outstanding!

Bordering? I'm with Todd on this one.

There is simply no way that we have the piss pour signal to noise ratio that HF maintains. Not that a "Teach me how to grind" thread wouldn't be fun around here...

It's for Justin's soon-to-be patented reverse cryo process where he heats and steams audio parts to get a warmer, fuller sound. Me: HD600s, time to see if I really do prefer the HD650s.

Yup, me too.
