I was kidding of course....on the BW, can you not just order from Eddie Current's website? Or PM Marv.

Looking to hear impressions of the Bose QC25 noise cancelling headphones. I've been using the QC15's for travelling, just wondering if anyone has any impressions on the new ones. Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions for a non-schiit amp?

- Main job will be for HD650, HE400S, TH900. Preferably with UERM. In the future, maybe also with W1000x
- Budget under 400 CAD (1USD~=1.35CAD these days)
- Preferably tube
- Small footprint is a plus
- Preferably amp only

Did you check out Garage1217? Solderdude can help you with this directly.

Do any of you more experienced pyrates find yourselves so comfortable with a pair of headphones that nothing else sounds right anymore? I re-ordered the Etymotic HF2s and they just seem...off. However, I was using the KSC75s in their absence without a problem. I'm trying to figure out if I was romanticizing them in the months that I went without them (and therefore had my expectations way too high), or if the HD600s have spoiled me.

The KSC75 sounds totally believable to me.
Only when compared directly to 'better' headphones you can hear it's flaws.
Funny thing about using 1 headphone almost exclusively is that you get so used to the sound (your brain turns it into a reference) that other headphones can sound off.

Remedy (and for me a must when comparing) is 'reset' your brain by NOT comparing 2 headphones but use at least 3 or 4 and listen to them relatively shortly and roll to the other.
It also helps to have a 'tonal reference' headphone like the HD600 or DT250-250 to get your feet back on the ground as it were.

In the end... all that matters is that you like the headphone of your choice and can enjoy music on them.... regardless of their sonic signature/colour.
They heave to be comfortable as well.
