He is? I guess I'll have to give drp's 9's a listen this weekend in Boston as well.

Nice.

Eh, not really the place for it but since there was a good deal of discussion on it in this thread it seemed like the Headcase place for it, this is the first HD300 I've seen come up for sale in a long, long time and looks like it might be worth buying just for the tubes.

Congrats on the new phones man, since it's pretty likely that these phones were ignored by Jpak you might want to give the electrets some time to charge up. I think someone once told me that it can take an hour or more for them to get back up to proper operating levels but I don't really know if there's much truth in that. Can't hurt though, right?

I'm fairly certain that I'll live the rest of my life never seeing "The Passion" quite happily.

Ok Reks, this is twice now. I AM NOT IAN!!! that's why i put the little sticky out tongue emoticon --admin

Better than the ipod/toilet bowl AKGs, that's for damn sure.

Potayto, Potahto my friend. If we all liked the same stuff life would be pretty boring.

Eh, I kinda dig it - of course I tend to favor industrial over polished to a certain degree. And I'm sure it doesn't hurt with heat dissipation.

Unless it's a certain video of Olivia Mojica I'm with you. And I've never watched a single episode, live or otherwise.

Go for it.

About $200 worth of knobs from THL. Jebus I wish there was a stateside place that had half the selection that they do.

NICE! You going to use a separate DAC or just use the analog outputs?

Happy Birthday, Ian.

Proof once again that there really is an idiot born every minute.

Holy poop this seems cheap! http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=255711

Good call, downloading now! I heart Rapidshare.

I must admit that I'm a bit partial to my HF-1s, which now sport a real leather headband. (mine are the near pair, Ian's in the back ground)

Yeah, it got a good recommendation from a friend for being a still reasonably priced transconductance tester. I'm currently watching another, similar unit and may pick that up as well and sell whichever I like less. I need something though, I had a tube that I thought was bad and had to drive an hour to have it tested, ugh!

Again, I'd love to see inside that mini connector to know how the f he's soldering those giant strands to tiny pads. Maybe Furutech makes allowances for 18ga conductors with their mini plugs?

You're too kind. Honestly I'm tempted to buy them only so that I can ensure their destruction. Jebus those are hideous.

At $337 each I think I'll have to pass.
