aardvark baguette Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I put on my HD650s yesterday, first time in a while (been listening to speakers) and sometimes I wonder if I even need to upgrade to the 800s. Of all the phones I've heard, I still prefer the tonality of these the most. Its not clinical, its not boring, and nothing sticks out. And I can listen to them for hours on end.

The Monkey Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I imagine the HD800 is infinitely better than anything Beyerdynamic could ever put out. I'm hoping the T1 is a good phone.

To me, the 650 is one of the best out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Time to find out if automatic wire strippers are all they're cracked up to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 If anything, it looks cool and bit menacing, Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice Nate. I really like the adjustable nickless squeeze type strippers. The "depth" gauge is an added bonus, which allows to to strip exactly the same amount of each wire. They aren't cheap, but here's the one I have: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yeah Marc, those are nice (albeit 3x as $$) but my gripe is that they don't cover much range. The one you listed will do 30 to 20 and I often find myself working with 18 and 16ga wires and the thought of buying 2 @ $50+ each is more than this humble DIYer's budget can bear. And it would appear that 18ga is the largest any of them can handle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I use one very similar to this and it works well with wires from 28 and down to 12 which is the largest I've tried. I'm so happy with it that I'm going to buy another one tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 So the amp will have a mini XLR connector? Sweet! That's going to be a killer setup Al, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yes, the final version will have the digital volume display and the Neutrik Tiny XLR connector on the front. Marc will make up a Tiny XLR > Standard 4-pin XLR adapter for the bigger cans with bigger plugses. There is some question as to whether there will also be a 1/8" mini jack, but I am not sure where that stands. Very excited to hear the amp and drive those little JH Audio cans in balanced mode without the odd little plastic magnet connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Now it just needs an uber cool name like Ray's amps. I'll suggest 'The Protagonist'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I bought a thing "Scaler" for taking plaque off my dogs teeth for $9 after taking him to a groomer for a $15 cleaning that improved things but did not get it all off. Pretty much anything is worth a try vs $400+ for the vet to do it. <Post 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
