  1. Reminds me of this home video in a tv show where the robber was freaked out when he couldn't leave the store he just robbed. He rammed against the door with all his might till he got tired and still, the door wouldn't budge. Eventually the cops got there and opened the door inwards to arrest him.

    i like it! biggrin.gif


  2. The brief audition I had with the X-Ray->Zolt->HD650 it sounded slow for me. The HD600 was slightly faster & more airier/spacious. (The system combination with RS-1 blew me away!) I don't remember which replacement cables were on which headphones though. Other than that no other complaints with it. Top notch sounding cans with the usual sennheiser fit & comfort.

    THe HD600 was using the Oelhbach replacement cable.

    i've heard that cable can actually be bad for the 650's


  3. THESE ARE U.S. PRICES!!!!!!

     

    they are in good condition .. they include the toddthevinyljunkie.com flat pads (i no longer have the bowl pads) ... the foam of the box has been cut in half so that it can fit in a tupper ware conatainer .. but the box is in good shape... i think i may have bent the headband too often... i may just be paranoid... but it seems like it's easier to bend now... slightly less springy... a grado 1/4 to mini connector will be included.

     

    WHAT I PAID!!!

    alessandro-products.com music series 2's = $300

    toddthevinyljunkie.com flat pads = $30 plus $5 for shipping

    grado 1/4inch to mini adaptor from headphone.com = $14 plus $7 for shipping

     

    total= $356

     

    what you pay = $230-$240 plus shipping and handling.

     

    i'd really prefer not to sell these... but they just are no longer usefull to someone who lives in a noisy place like i do. it's k271's for me!


  4. there's also the gorver cables that are silver... for less.. including the rca's... and siltech makes some silver/copper/gold hybrids for a reasonable price.. starting at $100 ( spearitaudio.com ... that's a new zealand cable company... they get good reveiws... supposed to blow van de hul's outa the water!) ... silver isn't always better... for bass there's the eric343 nitrogen cables... they supposedly match the vd nites but have more bass... for only $130.. i think... you can have more expensive rca's put on them if you like.


  5. iriver imp 550 (case has been altered to the point that the player looks like trash.. literally... yup.. i'm an ididot! rolleyes.gif ).. straightwire mini to rca.. alessandro/grado music series 2... and a full blown meta 42... opa 627 (the best grade.. i forget what it is.. bp.. or ap.. or some crap) ... 4x el2001 buffers... alps blue pot, linkwitz crossfeed, 1000uf panasonic caps.. switch craft rca's and 1/4inch out... and 24v elpac..

     

    i've had varying opinions.. but can that amp properly drive the dt880?

     

    i'll post pics one of these years.. but.. you wouldn't like the look of it all.


  6. i heard the cambridge 640c .. it sounded really nice... my dream system would be it.. my ms2's... some dt880's.. a graham slee solo headphone amp.. and some siltech cables.

     

    does anyone here know the u.s. prices for all the consonance products? they don't show.
