Post by: thune on May 16, 2015, 06:20:26 AM: I'd like to see pirates put a raid on the McIntosh MHP1000 headphone. Seems McIntosh is hiding this headphone in order to let dealers flip it to 2-channel customers without involving headphonedom. [If you use the accompanying MHP100 amp, ensure that the switchable crossfeed is defeated. Also note, the available source at RMAF was a CD player.]

Pirates: take this ship, take no prisoners. :)p6 :boom:

I heard MHP-1000 headphones. They are actually good and sound better than T1.

.....that is assuming you can tolerate/like Beyer house sound.

Hi LFF,
BTW, if you want to drop off anything for me to demo at my booth, please do! I will be showing your Slants and Enigma's, but always have room for more. (Bring some cards too. People always ask about your headphones at my shows. :)p1 )

Yup. If you don't know what this is... go hear it. Must be heard to be believed. Best damn portable speaker EVAR!

Truth.

I just took mine all over Michigan while visiting family this past week. I can't really crank it up at my condo because neighbors, but I got to crank up the Turbo for the first time at my Mother-in-Law's McMansion. You'd swear that you were listening to a full-sized system. Definitely a must hear.
