pcb stuffing for the balanced mini3 is complete. Wiring and casework to commence tomorrow night.

Wonder if that'll drive used prices up or down. I'm sure anyone selling a pair will make claims that the new model is inferior blah blah and the other side will say the opposite. Drama ftw.

I'd really like to but right now I've just got so much going on that I can't deal with trying to coordinate getting molds taken, shipping the headphones off, etc., etc.

I don't think you can hotlink to Picasa.

All you need to do is call Headroom. I ordered Ety tips from them last week and was charged $1 for shipping them in a padded envelope.

I'm sure we'll all be interested to hear the results of the price check, not that I have any $$ to invest in stats right now.

Dude, you drive an Audio, get a phatbox you slacker. Less storage, way fracken cooler. I had one in my S4 and it was the tits. And I guess with my purchase of the devil, I mean Zune, I'm officially off this team.

Lebowski, ftw.

And I'd counter that most of the really hard stuff lacks a bit when it comes production value so searching for some ideal headphones that are only going to point out the glaring flaws in the recording seems fruitless.

If you haven't bothered to amp the 650s properly I think you're going about this the wrong way. When driven by something with some real balls I don't take issue with much the HD650s do, and at a fraction of the cost of the HP-2s and L3Ks which are going to take every bit the amplifier that the 650s will to sound great.

My only thoughts about the mod are that I'm not paying that much $$$ for a headphone that falls apart and takes that kind of effort to sound good.

You asked for it...

Here let me reenact that for those who don't want to read the thread, Jack is on the left in this picture, Sov on the right.

Yeah, but when he plays Santa he's a falling-down drunk so I don't see him winning any races. Now, a rabid Bugs, that's a different story.

Except that you've forsaken headphones in the name of other seductress...

Exhibit A: slow-ass Cadbury Bunny Exhibit B: crazy as a mofo Easter Bunny

As far as I remember KG was promised some parts by a manufacturer who has yet to come up with them. I think there are threads here that mention it but I can't get them to surface via the search.

Duh, that's the Cadbury Bunny, not the Easter Bunny.

That's good to hear, holy shit a gain of 22 would have been epic though and ever so appropriate given the amp's name.

I bet Fredbot knows the answer.

Good God you're terrible.

HOP-HOP FTW

As far as I know it's just one of their Pesante Dissipante cases with a heavy front panel and optional handles. You'd just have to email them for more information, assuming this is what you're talking about.

See, now there's your reason for a beta22. The beta absolutely rocks with the HD650s, I can only imagine what it'll be like with the HD(insertnumberhere).

Jay, If that beta was setup for a gain of 5 single-ended it has an effective gain of 10 balanced. And I hope Steve didn't have his beta setup for a gain of 11, jebus I can't imagine what would need a gain of 22. Touch the knob on that amp and Grado's would explode.
