Smeggy Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 He probably did what I used to do, read mags and visit/phone high end hi-fi shops. Expensive shit was around a long time before the internets and I always managed to find it
dc Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 he wants 10,000 for the orpheus system and 4,000 quid for the stax + phones someone remind us how much that T2 in italy that's been FS for years is asking?
n_maher Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 $20k for an Orpehus, I think I'll pass. paging Ray Samuels...Ray Samuels get your checkbook please...
spritzer Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 he wants 10,000 for the orpheus system and 4,000 quid for the stax + phones someone remind us how much that T2 in italy that's been FS for years is asking? Ouch!!! I'm glad that I can hold off... The one in Italy was 10k
dc Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 hmmm... decisions, decisions... use the money to buy some of the world's best headphones or put a deposit on a house/apartment...
grawk Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 hmmm... decisions, decisions... use the money to buy some of the world's best headphones or put a deposit on a house/apartment... Since I'd assume that was a scam, I'd go with the house
aardvark baguette Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 hmmm... decisions, decisions... use the money to buy some of the world's best headphones or put a deposit on a house/apartment... My sarcasm meter is off today; which are you implying is the more obvious choice?
dc Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 My sarcasm meter is off today; which are you implying is the more obvious choice? I'm still trying to decide myself but based on the fact I've never heard any of these wares I'm probably leaning toward the latter. which headphones I believe he's offering the SRM-T2 with SR-007. Strangely enough I'd have thought he would possess the original SR-Omegas
spritzer Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I believe he's offering the SRM-T2 with SR-007. Strangely enough I'd have thought he would possess the original SR-Omegas Most of the Omega owners upgraded to the superior SR-007 or he could have snagged some NOS amp after 1998.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 which headphones Yeah, that's a whole 'nother thread. (Although the HE90 is obviously what the author intended.)
Tachikoma Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Oh dear, I finally caved in and bought an O2. O2 FOTM
aardvark baguette Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Oh dear, I finally caved in and bought an O2. b O2 FOTM More like flavor of the new era. The time of the dynamics is over; the time of the electrostats is about to begin.
Fungi Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 More like flavor of the new era. The time of the dynamics is over; the time of the electrostats is about to begin. Yeah, screw headphone amps. Why do that when we can all just use speaker amps?
guzziguy Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 More like flavor of the new era. The time of the dynamics is over; the time of the electrostats is about to begin. I just love it when brand new cutting edge technology takes over for ancient, obsolete technology.
Smeggy Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Crap! soon I'm going to be the only one on H-C without an Omega. How will I ever fit in with the cool kids....
jinp6301 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Didnt you hear? Being uncool is the new cool.
n_maher Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Crap! soon I'm going to be the only one on H-C without an Omega. How will I ever fit in with the cool kids.... Have no fear, we can hang out with our inferior budget stats. No O2 in my future.
blessingx Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 ... and one more without O2s. I've had a pair for a few weeks and tried to like them like no phones in years. A tad too polite for me with every amp/source I've heard (but still haven't had the BH opportunity). So I've decided to stop at the Lambdas. Sigs coming to compare to the Pros. Any ideas what to expect besides a little more detail and a little less musicality? And I still grab the 5nb/Golds often when I want a little Grado electrostatic moment. Nothing wrong with budget Stax.
slwiser Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 No Omega here yet... but.....the time is coming when I will not be able to say that.
Duggeh Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Crap! soon I'm going to be the only one on H-C without an Omega. How will I ever fit in with the cool kids.... Trade in one of them flappy paddle AKG earcages you've got. You've got some O2 pads on your Smegma aint you? Thats part O2 ownership, just buy the rest of the bits in instalments.
deepak Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 ... and one more without O2s. I've had a pair for a few weeks and tried to like them like no phones in years. A tad too polite for me with every amp/source I've heard (but still haven't had the BH opportunity). I really think it's the amp that makes or breaks the O2. Using the transformer it's anything but polite even at lower listening volume. I remember the same thing when I heard it with a KGSS.
Smeggy Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Funnily enough, I want to try the Sigma Pro before the Omegas. The Sigmas are too wacky to ignore.
swt61 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Funnily enough, I want to try the Sigma Pro before the Omegas. The Sigmas are too wacky to ignore. They have an odd headstage, but I rather like them on certain genres. I'm still holding an HFer's for him, but I've had no amp since he sold his in January.
