With the EF1 and HFM ortho, I liked the DAC better than the Meridian 508 DAC. I have no idea how good that Meridian is supposed to be... but when Fang told me the price, I probably made a face.

It's good.

Sorry, I'm clueless. I listened to NoNoNoNoNoNo's and Cetoole's, though. I wouldn't mind knowing how much they cost.

Didn’t really feel great either Sat or Sun, but I met some peeps and pretty much got to hear what I wanted. I’m not gonna bother with impressions of sources or amps, because the setups were so varied. Winners: HD800 – duh RS1 – vintage or not, they were gravy AD2000 – these things scale like motherfuckers, and they are arguably the best bargain under $1000 Random orthos – ranged from decent to very good Electrostats other than O2 – I already like most Stax and I tried the Jade and liked it balanced stuff in general – made a big difference to me Losers: O2 – not for me, even with BHSE or Cooter amp or Singlepower or whatever HD650/DT880/K701 – simply not on the same level as the more expensive RS1 or AD2000 imo DT48 – gave these a listen out of curiosity… pretty awful, even though Uncle Erik had a nice little setup otherwise Grado bowls – just sound weird/hollow/soulless/whatever Jury still out: Audeze – mixed results and couldn’t get much time with them Head-Direct ortho – only heard them with EF1… nice but not spectacular HF2 – didn't listen much... weird with bowls and muddy with flats, but I assume they’ll clean up nicely with source/amp… I bought flats on the spot for myself, though PS1000 – good, but I can’t say for sure that it’s any better than the cheaper HD800 HP1000 – see above, but even pricier PS1 – see above, but even pricier W10VTG – I brought some to test different source/amp combos, but ended up listening to other headphones the whole time… the little I listened to was nice, though

i just landed and i'm pretty damn hungry

Why was it posted by RaYSaMueLsSoN instead of regular Ray Samuels?

This thread sure blew up. I hear differences between cables, though.

Speaking of being a loser... who wants to hit up the Hilton weight room with me?

I love everything about that room. Except the glass.

Happy belated from me too. =P

Yeah happy bday!

Can't comment on anything but the looks... so yeah. I like the color. I'm sorry, but black/silver is boring as hell.

Is it theoretically possible that the dude's computer is sooooo shitty that it struggles to decode compressed files in a timely manner? I can't imagine these cats being very computer savvy. I mean, they all love the Sooloos, which to me screams retard.

A quick Google phone price check turned up like this: Amazon.com: PRO EXTREME HARD CASE FOR MINOLTA DIMAGE 5D 7D A200 A2 A1 Z3 Z5 Z2 Z10 Z6: Camera & Photo So if anyone missed out on that one deal, this isn't that much more.

Maaaan why is good food so fattening? :palm:

Booooo... not even SE+? Nice tubes at least? Just playin. Welcome.

You can just give me your SF DAC.

Well, instead of running out in the hot hot sun, I just spent 2 hrs at the Berkeley 24 today. Not so attractive, that particular gym...

Is Bay to Breakers actually fun? People seem to like it, but I don't see the appeal...

Fuuuuck man. I just ordered, too. I was gonna wait til after I check out the PS1000... Gah.

Have you heard the last Cynic album? It's pretty meh to me, but a lot of people love it. Of course, a lot of people also love the last Opeth album... which I think is garbage. Oh well.

It looks very breakable, and I haven't owned a portable thing that I haven't dropped plenty of times.

I propose we simply post in here for anything kinda metal-related, instead of the "what are you listening to" thread. Anyways, I'm digging Lamb of God's Sacrament album, too. They got a cool sound; it's not like any other metalcore band that I can think of...

Bump. This thread needs moar love. I've been listening to this Greek band call Rotting Christ lately. They're supposed to be black or blackened death, but it sounds just like regular melodeath to me... I like.

I like facebook. I feel bad for not going on there much. It's so much easier to see where your friends are without having to call or email them or whatever.
