And to think, my wife still thinks the smell is "solder fumes". Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha.

I find that appropriate for a self-described whore.

When I get the WA lens for the D80 I'll bring the tripod over to Ian's and see if we can give you a better look.

What is this 'headfi' you speak of?

Well done sir, well done.

Shoot, the one forum I'm actually banned from.

Yup, he and pinky deserve each other though so it's all good in my book.

I have a feeling that we can handle those types of problems.

The princess runs lights, so i'm guessing that's the controller at her club.

Jacob, I wouldn't bother, just another set of cables you'd need and more clutter. If you're happy with the Cap premap, I'd leave well enough alone.

He was for a while, then reinstated, then banned again and then the ban rescinded. And he's not dead either, he's been active on other forums as recently as a month ago.

I don't think you'll find much company in that regard around here. The SB3 is a pretty average source in my book, and yes I own and use one and have compared it to other both worse and better sounding units. Also, I try not to form concrete impressions from meet, especially when trying to make relative comparisons. Every meet that I've been to has way to high a noise floor.

Clearly he's referring to everyone watching the TV.

Watch it MOT boy, given my new custom title you'll wanna play nice.

You've got a lot of options w/ a total of $1500 to play with. You shouldn't need to spend more than $400 on the cans, even if you go w/ Senns and decide to upgrade the cable. That leaves $1100 for the amp source which should be plenty. Where in the world are you located since geographically some options might make more sense than others.

Don't forget the diamonds!

Ouch, I'm insulted.

I think we've moved on from balanced since just about every option under $1000 is probably not worth spending money on, unless I'm forgetting something.

Assuming Head-Fi comes back I'd recommend a stock Extreme as well but the Moth comes with a heck of a selection of tubes.

Sorry about that, forgot about that rule. My bad.

You have chosen wisely.

Perhaps not the best but with the same input and driver combo as the Extreme and HA-2 it should do a more than decent job and seriously, under a grand how are you going to do much better?

http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,2384.0.html Not in your $300 budget but if you want good sound out of the K340s that'd probably be a hell of a start. Actually, it'd probably be a fine place to just end. You might see if he was willing to sell the amp with just some of the tubes to bring the price down a bit.

Vicki, does yours have balanced outputs or it SE only? That'd be the only reason to think about meddling with it.

Your posts just give me headaches.
