tkam Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 I've had the O2's since Tuesday bought was unable to use them till today when my KGSS showed up Quote
GPH Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Very nice rig! The OII is like a drug, I can't get them off my head and I bet the KGSS make them even more addictive. Quote
postjack Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Great looking combo tkam. I love the black. It'd be great to hear some impressions from you, maybe a comparison between speaker rig and OII rig listening experiences. Quote
krrm Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Congrats. Oh, and, eeeeh, if you should feel the need for a BH, I can help you to get rid of the KGSS. Quote
4N6 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Congrats on a terrific rig! I will hopefully be able to join you in the Stax world at some point Quote
boomana Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Congrats, Todd. Will be curious for your impressions while I wait for my own O2 rig. Quote
jinp6301 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Man, thats an awesome rig! Hope it compliments your speaker rig Quote
tkam Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Posted May 24, 2008 It'd be great to hear some impressions from you, maybe a comparison between speaker rig and OII rig listening experiences. I can certainly do that at some point but they won't be using the same source. Congrats, Todd. Will be curious for your impressions while I wait for my own O2 rig. They are great, hows that? Quote
PFKMan23 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 I can certainly do that at some point but they won't be using the same source. Who cares?? Get on it, tkams!! Quote
GPH Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 The OII/member ratio is growing pretty fast on Head-case. From memory, there's me, tkam, postjack, Duggeh, spritzer, deepak, justin, boomana, kevin gilmore, Elpheas. Anyone else? Quote

Just had to sell mine. It really hurts to part with them but once I have money again, I'll be looking forward to rejoin the team. Quote
fierce_freak Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 I'm considering it, though I'll need to sell everything I'm currently trying to sell plus some other things. Quote
VPI Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 I am listening to me Omega IIs & Rockhopper KGSS as I type. Cowboy Junkies on 45 rpm Vinyl through this set up is some of the best headphone listening I have ever experienced. Quote
GPH Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Seriously, I never thought I would say that, but I think the OII is a pretty good deal for the price. I see a lot of people on H-F rolling dynamic cans in the 300-500$ range and never being satisfied. They lose money in the process and end up buying different cans for different purposes. If they want to buy the really high-end dynamic cans (K1000, HP-2, L3000, R10, HE90...), they have to pay the same price or more than a used pair of OII. Sure, the electrostatic amps cost a lot of money, but the good dynamic amps also cost a lot. It may not be the same for everyone, but with the OII, I don't feel the need anymore to buy another pair of headphones. It covers all the genres of music that I listen very well, it sounds realistic (for headphones), it's incredibly detailed, it's comfortable and it scales well with good equipment. I have not heard the R10, HE90, and L3000, but at the prohibitive prices they sell, I'm not interested. Anyway, all that to say that the OII rocks. Quote
luvdunhill Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 listening to my hopped up KGSS and SR-007 right now. Quote
aardvark baguette Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 Only reason I haven't jumped onboard the Stat train is it would necessitate an entirely new rig. Its taken too long to get decent dynamic amps as it is. I really dont know if I feel like buying a new amp again. Quote
