Damn, that's unbelievable.

Check the mirror cheif, you're the one without a home amp. Most reports have the beta doing a pretty fine job with the K1000's although I'm not sure anyone with the L3000's has had a go with it yet that I've read. Kill two birds with one stone and save some coin in the process. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Stephen doesn't charge nearly enough.

Holy shit, thrice has gone mental. And man, those pics on your site are tight! Nice work.

BASTARD! Just finished home-made taco salad.

As far as I know the kits currently listed on the site are spec'd for preamp duty, the headphone amp kits should be coming out soon and will use tweaked parts values and components.

The peanut gallery wants to know how hard it would have been for the to use black screws to match what was already there? I mean seriously, I'm guessing that you're paying a not-insignificant amount of coin for the mods. Otherwise I'm psyched you're getting your player back and hope it sounds sweet.

Uh, yeah. I wasn't exactly excited when I read the specs. I also seem to be having a channel imbalance issue so I may be returning the headphones to Equation. The soundstage is shifted way to the right. So far, so not good

Yeah, now imagine that my phones are basically the same as yours except they boost the bass under 200Hz by 5 to 10db.

At 750 EURO for the base model I think I'll pass. And postjack, you realize that most of the DIY power supplies that we use are far superior to batteries, right?

Those things are fricken huge (unless than meant inches ", instead of feet ') Sweet, I just noticed I passed the magic 1500!

Me too, I demo'd a pair when I bought my Paradigms and they sounded pretty darn good to my then-less-trained ears.

Soon to have a twin.

Amen to that, on the rare occasion that I agree to build something for someone the first condition is that I do it when I can do it. For me it's a matter of since I'm not getting paid I don't really want to feel any pressure. Of course what Mikhail really needs to do is clone himself so that he can spend the countless hours on the phone that he probably does hand-holding buyers through the custom design process and actually building the stuff that he designs. I've seen his email inbox, sweet jesus I do not envy him.

If I were him I'd be way more concerned about filling orders in a timely manner than creating new products to further fragment his lineup. Salty's been waiting, what, 10 months for his amp and Mikhail's managed to make, 50+ Extremes in that time?

Initial impression (straight out of the box) of the RP-22X are, uh, not so good. I've got them burning in now and will check back as time goes on but for anyone that thinks the Senn's have a veil these cans have a tablecloth draped over the highs.

Just watched the un-aired pilot. Without giving too much away for those that might want to watch I pretty much agree with all the changes that they made before airing the second pilot/first episode. The definitely refined their craft as they moved forward.

Nah, we'll all just charge him like we're MOT's if he ever asks for help!

I thought IRL was the Indy Racing League?

And I've got a pair of RP-22X's (EXTREME!) that I'll be putting through the paces over the next couple of weeks. I hope my rig is worth of their eXtremeness.

NO! Stephen is your man, he'll hook you up proper. I have parts for my mini3 on the way, but that's it. [me=nate]asks for grawk's mercy[/me]

Hmmm, now that's an interesting idea that I might just have to try...

Color me confused.

I disagree, it's not very often that I sell something for the price listed in the thread. Sometimes someone offers me more, sometimes I take less, either way the stated price is pretty much worthless.
