x2 My apologies if I came off as naggy.

Ehhh... no.

You already have a Parasound 1100 and EHHA? God that's fucking impressive for someone who doesn't know what O2/717 are. Fuck Denon phones. That's clearly the problem with your setup. If you must have another amp, get this one: http://www.rockhopperaudio.com/store/2009/11/15/balanced-m3-for-sale.html Pro builder, warrantied, and the price is great. Edit: You have an HP1 too? That's a serious rig you got there.

So can a Squeezebox be hacked to function like a soundcard? Like for movies and such.

Wow it's looking more and more inevitable for me as well. Shieeet... Maybe by the time JH21s roll out, I can get a nice deal on a 16.

So how good is the power supply on this thing?

So while the RS-60s are on their way to NYC, I thought I'd just share my impressions from the time that I had with them. I'm a rather shitty writer, so I'll keep this brief. I've owned HF-2s for a while now, and they're my mains, so I'd say that's a fair reference point. I never bothered with any critical listening or any of my familiar test tracks. I did mess around with the pads, though. As expected, I stuck with the flats. Compared to the HF-2s with flats, they're not as dark and don't have as much midbass bloat. I don't feel comfortable saying the sound is more neutral or balanced; it's just different. Resolution is definitely better on the HF-2s, presumably due to tighter spec'd drivers. The RS-60s were no slouch, though. They really sounded good to me... maybe $200 good? Wish I had a pair of SR225s on hand to compare. I guess that's a testament to the Grado driver line, as well as the importance of frame and pad quality. Oh yeah, they were also significantly lighter and more comfortable than the HF-2s, which are significant advantages in my book. I do kinda wish I had tried some critical listening, but that's really not something I like to do at home. I mostly just listened to shitty death metal as usual, and I had no real complaints tonally. I bet they sound pretty sick from a nice balanced rig.

I don't like how there's a stupid face on the left side of the front panel.

Love the look. Wish they'd made a cheaper one that wasn't a CD player.

Shoddy workmanship in those pics, but is it really that much worse than what we usually get straight from Grado? Not excusing it of course; I'm just lamenting the lack of professional pride shown by some of these manufacturers.

Count me in.

Source probably wasn't great either. Yawn.

I think K701s are just fine as is. It definitely performs well for the price, and amping it isn't toooo difficult. If you get your hands on a nice Dynalo or M3, I'd say the vast majority of dynamics can be well-amped reasonably cheaply.

I think my netbook is reasonably fast. I can run foobar, Opera, standard def vids, and SNES games, so I'm good. It won't run modern games or movies, but I assume you don't care about that kind of functionality on a netbook. The only issue is that web browsing is a bit iffy.

^^^Yeah, that one looks pretty fucking comfortable.

I have pretty flat feet too, so I only jog in clunky running shoes. I never even tried with the Vibrams. I only use them for quick errands when I don't feel like putting on socks, so I guess I haven't made the switch as completely as some of y'all. Comfort is fine, though; I don't experience any pain.

So I got a pair for myself as well, and I gotta say I cannot fathom anyone running in these things. One would have to have perfect running genes to make em work.

Hey, happy bday man.

Man, I'm stoked for Thanksgiving.

Yeah, turkey is a terrible substitute for pork. I once tried to make collard greens with smoked turkey drums instead of ham hocks... no good at all.

I'm referring to the MenaceTC.

Now I wanna see the non-Lite one.

Happy Birfday!

Happy bday Boo! Enjoy the weekend.
