Augsburger Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 After you said that I totally believe you . Don't want some Samoan associates kicking my ass and leaving a permanent imprint of course I jest, you guys have given me some ideas about other cans I should explore. Off topic,---Riceboy, my plumerias are starting to bloom after four years of trying, reminds me of my former home on Oahu. Your pictures must have sent good karma.

And why did you settle with the Triport when there are a lot of better options for the same money? Are you even settled?
Fungi Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Never mind, I see your WTB over there for the ESP950.
postjack Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 1. HD650 2. HF-1 3. ER4P I finally got an iPhone headphone adapter for the recessed jack, and was listening to my ER4P with foamies while I was trimming the hedges. These IEMs definitely rule, and the foamies are much more comfortable then I remember them being.

Tony Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 SR-5 pro, O2 (on shot pads) Lambda Sig, Lambda Pro Gamma Pro, SR-X IM716 (I think I've lost it on a trip though...) KSC-75 SR-5 Pro? Interesting, can you provide any info about them?
Tachikoma Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I DIY'ed them with the SR-5NB as the base, swapped in GP drivers and cut a 5m 5 pin extension cord in half for the cable. The original drivers and cable were broken, so I had a good excuse to go ahead with that madness They're much easier to build than the SR-X pro, you don't have to worry about getting the glue off the original drivers without breaking something, or find a good glue that keeps the drivers coupled firmly to the enclosure. I ranked my headphones according to how much I like them, and I like them about as much as I like the O2. The two of them compliment each other really well; the SR-5 pro is really forward but still retains a wide soundstage, and are very exciting to listen to (without lacking too much in terms of detail or smoothness) while the O2 is laidback, yet has detail and refinement in the boatload. Every time I switch between the two of them, the next headphone always seems to sound better than the last
Tony Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Wonderful thinking. I see you have put your SRM-717 for sale on Headfi. Have you found an amp that is better suited for the SR-5 Pro?
Tachikoma Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Well... I have 2 SRM-717s. <__< The 717 works great with the SR-5 pro, incidentally.
Akabeth Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 R10 ---- ?? ------> Ed 9 -------------------------> SA5000 ---------------> K701 (Friend's birthday, gave it to him) Notes: #1. Ranked in musical enjoyment with applicable music genre #2. The arrows represent how apart they are imo #10. I'm not sure if the 1st arrow should even be there
grawk Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 no, that was the headphones in my possession at that time. I have them back now.
