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?

Keep it up jackass, we've been nice so far but your act is starting to wear thin.

mr. nice is the latest one to ignore the one rule of head-case, therefore he gets added to the list.

There are two buttons at the top of the page next to the "LOGOUT" button that should allow you to toggle both the left and right supplemental columns and allow for a wider message pane. I run with both sidebars shut off so that I get maximum thread space.

Postjack ftw with a Lewis Black reference. A++++++++++++++

Nums, I'd send the 701s to someone for a recable. Not me, mind you, but I bet someone around here could help you out and save you some serious aggravation.

There's a pretty damn cheap Outlaw 1050 on the 'gon right now that'd probably make a more than acceptable integrated if you ignore the other features that it has.

The 73T isn't listed on Arcam's site and reviews of the player mention that model # going all the way back to 2004. I *think* that it may refer to the CD text information feature, but I'm not sure. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't think there's much if any difference related to the 't' suffix.

Where are you located again? I could probably make the Arcam available if you're interested in trying it out.
