pabbi1 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Monkey's Lambda Pro would really help on the Poor Man's Stat Amp in development... looking elegant, I might add.
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 I'm sure I could whip up a cable. I've got some Canare, either blue or red, and plenty of Neutrik minis as well which I would be happy to contribute. I also have enough Mogami mini if that would work better. Hey, I said it first. dibs.
dBel84 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 Well things have gotten off to quite a start - perhaps that pipe dream of an HD800 wasn't a pipe dream after all or perhaps he will be introduced to the planar population enforce with a smeggy wood fostex and some form of staxen to test his poor man's creation. This is where we stand : Some folk have requested a running tab $500 thus far Contributors : Pabbi Forsakenrider Saachu guzziguy cfcubed wiatrob smeggy headphoneaddict ferrari amphead germania aka childofthehorn digger945 postal_blue nikongod MrMajestic2 adamus tacitapproval Alcaudon ferrari ps - please send me an e-slap should I have left you off the list
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Please PM me with where to send the terminated Canare cable and SFI drivers. I already have Smeggy's address if that is where they should go, but I don't know if that is what you want me to do.

dBel84 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 sorry nate - you were on the other list which I pasted over - crap that means I deleted pars and ? too - oh crap ..dB edit full acknowledgment at the other place
Smeggy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Wow, I thought this was going to be bargain basement.. $500 That is too cool.
MASantos Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Count me in as well! Will send paypal later today. Manuel!
dBel84 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 I think we should start getting some opinions in as to which headphones people prefer The DIY option has started to roll and will offer a unique experience. I have looked at a few options: 1. Good used Stax being sold by The Monkey - SR Lambda Pro 2. Current commercial offerings: Sennheiser HD600 - $450 HD650 - $500 Beyer DT880 - $400 AKG k701 - $540 k702 - $540 Dennon AH D2000 - $350 AH D500 - $699 AT W5000 - $699 (sale) Grado RS-1 - $550 ..dB
Smeggy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Now you've done it... trying to get consensus on anything is hard. Headphones? Never!
dBel84 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 just letting folk feel that they actually have a say in the matter , we all know no one will agree and seeing as I have the gold ...... ..dB
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Today I shipped the 1/8" Neutrik terminated Canare quad cable with matched pair of SFI 120R and two kinds of felt and fake chamois from ericj. Smeggy, I also threw in a surprise for you to keep, in appreciation of the work you donated on my Smegma Pros.
guzziguy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 What does Alex like? It's best to get that sound rather than something that I or someone else prefers. Do you know what kind of sound he prefers? Has he mentioned a desire for some of the headphones that you listed?

dBel84 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 this is the 10 million dollar question. We have discussed classical music in passing and I think he likes stage music but more genre specific I have no idea. I know he has little if any experience with "hi end" headphones and I am a little envious of his ability to sit back and enjoy the music without looking for more and more detail. This all came about because we were discussing just this. I honestly feel any of the top performers will fill the niche. Each of the headphones have their virtues and I have listened to them all bar the Denons. ( or the staxen) I don't think there is a "wrong" option amongst them. just to stir the mud to even consistency ..dB

I have heard everything on that list except the Beyer, and the only ones I could not live with were the W5000.
dBel84 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 an updated tally Some folk have requested a running tab $700 + Contributors : Pabbi / Forsakenrider / Saachu / guzziguy / cfcubed / wiatrob / smeggy / headphoneaddict / ferrari / amphead / germania aka childofthehorn / digger945 / postal_blue / nikongod / MrMajestic2 / adamus / tacitapproval / Alcaudon / nmaher / anon / ferrari / moodysteve / chobint / fishski13 / fordgtlover / linuxworks / vixr / MrSlim / jp11801 the headphone running thus far seems to be between the "normal" players k702 / RS1 / HD600/650 ..dB
dBel84 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 It seems the link to my PP acount is not working , if you would like to participate please PM me or you can link through HF. I will update later ..dB
Fungi Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 It's not working probably because deepak edited it to hide your email from crawlers. It's in the URL and you just have to copy the whole thing and cut out the email address part and send payment to there.
deepak Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I didn't edit anything except the donor list (which I see is now out of date ) I can fix the email if you want or leave it as is.
dBel84 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 It needs updated again so no worries - if you wouldn't mind removing the link and changing it to read PM me. that way I don't have to think about it again - I am going to edit out the links on HF when this is over. thanks again..dB
