Duggeh Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Let us hope they remembered to wire the pins up on the XLR socket with the established K1000 pattern.
laxx Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 The Ultrasone 8's are uglyyyyyyyyyyy. And hey, you guys can't crack on those Grado ads where they wear them backwards now!!!
Duggeh Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I have to say, I really dig the look of the Edition 8. Best looking Ultrasone I've seen by far. Their classic HD280esque headband and clumsy circle on eliptical cups never appealed to me, even when as shiny as the Edition 9.
deepak Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 A bit late to this thread, but did Magnepan show off new speakers at CES, and if they did anyone listen to them?
Voltron Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Sorry Deepak, I never saw the Maggies or heard anything about them.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 What about the Crystal Clear speakers? You guys are worthless.
Voltron Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 What about the Crystal Clear speakers? You guys are worthless. You mean the Crystal Cable speakers? That one really, really hurts because that was totally on my list and I had seen your post asking about them. I considered staying the next morning when it hit me Saturday night but it was just too late to change things... Pisses me off.
tom_hankins Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 A bit late to this thread, but did Magnepan show off new speakers at CES, and if they did anyone listen to them? There is some talk about them on Audiogon. Most say they are very good. Small and used with a sub at CES.

China scoops us C'mon, that thing is hot -- asymmetrical enclosure, with a yin/yang aspect to it (see the pic on the third page), Raal ribbon tweeters... Want. No, wait, I want the Raal omnis: linky. Damnit...
deepak Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 There is some talk about them on Audiogon. Most say they are very good. Small and used with a sub at CES. Yeah I saw the thread on AA after posting. It looks like no updates to the full size line
luvdunhill Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 how do you think a single omni would do for a mono rig?
spritzer Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I can't wait to get some for shoulder mounted headphones, the Surrounder Mk2... Has anybody seen any mention of a price of either the monitors or the sub unit?
naamanf Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Here is my only other picture of Naaman. JP has some more. It was great meeting you, Naaman, and I look forward to more good times at CJ09. Yeah it was great that you guys could make it. Hopefully the timing of CJ will work out this year. Ninja Engineering -- "Once you've heard it, it's too late!" I might have to remember that one. My friend signed me up for CES and though it would be funny to have me walk around with a Ninja Engineering badge. I can't tell you all the funny looks I got from vendors. Next year I think I am going as a buyer for Wal-Mart. What about the Crystal Clear speakers? You guys are worthless. I am pretty sure I got around to hearing those. The only thing I remember about them was that they were clear. Also tried to check out the silly stuff Synergistic Research had, but they had Wilson Watt Puppies as their demo speakers. I would rather shove a pencil in my ear than be subject to listening to Wilson speakers. Edited January 17, 2009 by naamanf
Dusty Chalk Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 how do you think a single omni would do for a mono rig? I'm actually thinking in this direction, no joke.

Icarium Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Wow yeah the crystal cable speakers are pretty sexy.
Voltron Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Wow yeah the crystal cable speakers are pretty sexy. I've got wood even though they do not!
purk Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Speaking of Ed, these are some action shots, including the Unholy Union of the Pico dac feeding the SR71. :wink: I want the PICO DAC so bad, when will it be available? Come on Justin!
