You want me to lie?

They (Ice/B&O) aren't but I've got back-channel connections who've offered to help out. Not sure on the ETA but at some point in the next few months I should have access to two of the 50AXS2 modules. Now to decide if I want the result to be balanced or leave well enough alone and just get the SE version of the module...

guzzi, that price is in euro, which pushes it right over the edge.

I hope you understand that was 1 of 2 pictures. And it was just an example of the difference. I don't often find Allison hot and less since the end of Buffy.

What did you expect, a lesson it what cute girls look like? Hell, I think the same woman can be both. Example:

Cute Hot

My standards must be lower than yours. He's one of the many reasons it's worth watching. And one word in response to your "I don't watch TV" comment: rapidshare. I can't imagine it'll be out on DVD until the summer.

You wont find enough to justify what we're saying so do yourself a favor and watch an episode or two.

Credit shouldn't be given to me, I asked a similar question, that's the only reason I know the answer. Can't remember now who it was...

www.lowepro.com - available through many online vendors. I've been using their bags for a while and have no complaints.

Fair enough, our definitions of hot are clearly different. In my estimation she's a whole heaping of both.

Between my dad and I we should be able to pull something decent off. Our last woodworking project was this:

Something like this...

Fit doesn't seem to be an issue, I'm getting a good uniform seal and external pressure on the cups doesn't change the sound in a positive way. I have found that their position on my head does make a difference and I'm not sure I've found the ideal placement yet.

Oh dear, the conversion has begun...

That'd be the understatement of the year. Sofaking hot is more like it.

I suppose that's fair payback for the sloppy seconds I leave you with! *zing*

At least twice a week or their vision starts to fail and their work gets sloppy.

Back on topic: The second half of my listening session at work yesterday was spent with the bass boost enabled. It filled out the lower end of the cans nicely without getting sloppy, which was a nice surprise. Some of the boost-effect seemed to help with the lower mid issue that I continue to have which was also a bonus. It will be interesting to see if I can achieve the same result with the M3 which has the variable bass boost option. In the mean time I'm going to have a go listening to them out of my Dared knockoff to see what a little tube-drive goodness will do to them but other than that I think I'll shelve further impressions until I have something decent to drive them with.

I could not agree more. Season 1 was great, it's been a pretty large turd since then.

I can't imagine that thrice builds them without sockets.

I'd bet changing the gain that little would make no difference at all.

I'd just call him and ask him. Seriously, I'm sure paid good money for it even as b-stock and only half of it is usable in my book and that makes it not worth keeping.

The real question is why aren't you returning the PH-1. The high-gain hiss sounds like enough of a reason to me.

This seems really weird to me, the part about the Marantz. I would have expected the output of the Zhalou to be pretty normal, like 2Vish and even if it was a good bit higher that it still wouldn't have caused issues with any modern receiver. Do you know what the output specs of the Zhalou are?
