It is beautiful. I love simple systems actually. The goldie SR325 cans match the knob on the headphone amp *and* the knob on what I guess is a valve pre-amp.

In fact I totally get ESL-1's comments on this, as a reminder to anyone that hasn't been following this discussion ESL-1 found it took quite a long time for the GS3000x to be performing well. Right now I'm just wowed by the timbre with the GS3000x. In fact I don't buy new audio things very...

I haven't done that because, in truth, I'm a bit lazy about things like that. The Meridian sits on my desk and is about 60 cm from the Soul, so I'd need to move the Meridian for something like that and I'm not energised to do so. The DAC within the Meridian Prime is not spectacular, the Prime is...

It might be that my eventual experience will be the same as yours. I don't know what they'll sound like in say, a couple of months, could be even better. Right out of the box the treble had a tendency to sound a bit "reedy" and there were a few other things like that but within a few hours of...

In fact I don't plan on upgrading the cable for quite some time. This is because I'm totally loving the overall sound of the system and I kind of don't want to touch it at all. Right now there is a cheapish 75 ohm Atlas coaxial cable there. I think that as the cable is only, 0.75 m, then coaxial...

I haven't heard "Comin' Through" in years and now you have reminded me of it I'm going to Discogs to get me a copy :gs1000smile:

I've had the GS3000x cans for 48 hours now and it has been a fascinating and enjoyable time! They are beginning to break in now and sound really quite fabulous. I work from home and what I'm doing is have a CD on my Teac VRDS 701T on repeat playing through them during the day, then in the...

I think your RS1X cans look great. I really don't know much about wood but I know that it darkens over time and that the more sunlight you have on it the faster it darkens. So I guess yours will get a bit darker with time however looking at the pic, I think they look great now.

I think "boldly" is the right word here.

:gs1000smile::gs1000smile::gs1000smile: I actually edited my post to make it less political. This is off topic and very hot to discuss in the UK so from here I will talk no more about this.

Not for the time being anyway.

I thought of something like that actually. I know Jan Meier will do this but being in the UK I think I might have tried Custom Cans to do that. However as it transpired I didn't need to go down that route.

My new GS3000x cans arrived this morning! I am, in fact, listening to them now as I write. They are sounding great straight out of the box but I know that they will improve a little over time, as happened with my SR325x cans. Actually buying them here in the UK was a bit of an exercise. I...

I think braces (suspenders in USA/Canada) appeal to anyone with an engineering mindset. It is just a much better way to hold up trousers. The belt is this constricting thing around your waist that is still always slipping down a bit and needing hitching up all the time. It is braces all the way...

There might well be a greater context for your comment which I haven't seen. I bought my SR325x Grados three months ago on a total whim. I actually bought them online knowing that if I didn't like them I could return them. Anyway I loved them and I still do love them. I think this is the way to...

As someone that wears braces nearly always when I go out (suspenders in USA/Canada) I'm delighted to see Mr. Grado wearing what look like quite a stylish pair.
